Buying a Hot Tub:  Take Care of Your Tub

We live in a high stress world.  Traffic, work, and even everyday life can make us a jangled bundle of nerves.  It may be time to buy a hot tub.  Soaking in a hot tub is a therapeutic method of stress relief that has been proven to provide a plethora of other health benefits as well.  For example, did you know that a hot tub also helps with improved circulation?
While soaking in a hot tub can be great for your stress levels and your sore muscles, because of the unique environment that a hot tub offers, namely a combination of heat and water, you have to take care of them to avoid any potential health risks.  A hot tub is more risky than a pool because of these higher temperatures, smaller amount of water as well as a greater number of people in the tub as opposed to the pool. Now, like a pool, you could use a chlorine based disinfection system.  You could also use a salt water system, and operate under the illusion that it's cheaper. For the record it isn't.  And in the case of chlorine or bromine based disinfecting systems for your hot tub, both chemicals can cause irritation, and exacerbate conditions such as allergies and asthma.  That's where a UV sanitizing system comes in.

How Can a UV Sanitizing System Help?

These aren't the UV lights that greenhouses use to grow poinsettas or other plants.  The UV light destroys almost 100% of all pathogens in your tub, and as a  result it lowers your chemical use by 90%.  Less chemicals means better health, and less risks of serious health conditions.  Our UV disinfecting systems are ingenious technology that is quickly spreading throughout the hot tub industry.  UV germicidal light ray destroys the genetic material of bacteria, viruses, algae, parasites, cysts and more.
So remember, you want a hot tub for relaxation.  You don't want to think about things like having to go buy some more spa chemicals or when you need to change your salt cell again.  So sit back and relax.  Buy yourself a hot tub with a UV sanitizing system installed.

Buying a Hot Tub: Why UV Sanitizing May Be the Future

If you buy a hot tub, here are some helpful sanitizing tips.  We'll give you a clue, they don't involve salt water systems.

Why Use UV to Sanitize Your Hot Tub?

Why should you use UV to sanitize your hot tub?  For one, it is much more efficient and far less toxic than to use this system.  Let's face it, your main option to keep your water sanitary is to use bromine and/or chlorine.  Both are chemicals and they can cause irritation if you inhale them.  Salt systems are even worse.
Salt water hot tubs advertise a claim of lower prices.  And while it is true that a monthly supply of salt is far cheaper than a monthly supply of chemicals, however, salt cells have to be replaced every year or so, and they are rather expensive, to the tune of $1000 in some cases.  However, a UV sanitizer is built into a hot tub and it helps to keep your water a lot cleaner by killing harmful organisms  and keeping your water a lot cleaner, which makes for reduced use of chemicals, which in turn saves you some money each year.  Buying a hot tub with a UV system can help to save you some money.

How Effective Are Hot Tub UV Systems?

UV light disinfection can kill almost 100% of all pathogens in your hot tub's water.  This lowers your dependency on chemicals by up to 90%.  Since you don't have to use as much, you also don't have to worry about your skin or lungs getting irritated or inflamed.  And the best thing about UV systems?  They've been tested.

Municipal water systems pass water through much larger UV filters, but the process is essentially the same. As water passes through the disinfection chamber, a high intensity UV germicidal light ray literally destroys genetic code of harmful pathogens such as viruses, mold, bacteria and more.
So keep yourself and your family safe, and keep some more money in your pocket.  How do you do this?  Well it's merely a matter of making the right choices.  Don't buy the hype of salt systems, and remember that chemical systems aren't much better and add to the cost of your hot tub every month.  So the solution is clear, don't just buy yourself a hot tub.  Buy a hot tub with a UV disinfecting system instead.

Buying a Hot Tub and Helpful Sanitizing Tips

If you're looking at buying a hot tub, what sort of system do you use to keep it clean? A recent technological development is the use of UV systems to sanitize water in hot tubs. Is this a valid technology, or just a bunch of marketing hype? This article will explore this emerging technology.

Should You Buy a Hot Tub with a UV Cleaning System?

Should you buy a hot tub with a UV cleaning system? Well, that depends on your budget as well as the level of upkeep you want to have with your spa. However, UV sanitizing systems offer a great many benefits. First off, is the reduced use of harmful chemicals.
Let's face it, some forms of sanitizers in hot tubs are extremely harmful to the environment. Salt systems claim to be eco-friendly, however, they use bromine and chlorine in greater amounts than traditional hot tubs do.  People that are looking to buy a hot tub are looking for a greener way of treating their water.  That's where a UV system is extremely beneficial.  In fact, a UV system reduces chemical use by up to 80%.  A UV system doesn't impact the water in a negative way, in fact it makes the water sanitary.  In addition to the reduced use of chemicals, it also has an effect on the after-effects of spa chemicals.

Reduce Odor by Using UV

Chlorine and bromine have one thing in common, like all halogen type chemicals, they produce a very strong chemical odor that has a tendency to linger. Since hot tubs are heated water, a lot of times, as the water evaporates it leaves behind traces of the chemicals which as they're heated again produce chemical odors which are inhaled and can cause irritation both internally and externally as well on the eyes and skin. With a UV equipped hot tub, however, it stands to reason that since such spas use less chemicals, they also produce less chemical by products. UV technology is used to sterilize water in a lot of different industries, and it makes sense for a hot tub dealer to take advantage of this technology.

Ultimately, you want to make sure you get a spa that reduces the amount of maintenance that you have to do.  So when it is time to buy a new hot tub in Glendale, why not get one that is UV equipped?

Hot Tub Maintenance: Why A Salt Cell May Be a Prison

As your hot tub dealer in Glendale, we think it our duty to advise you regarding purchasing a spa, particularly where salt systems and their marketing claims are concerned.

Hot Tub Sales:  Things You Must Know

When it is time to buy a new hot tub, you may be considering a salt-system for your hot tub.  Salt systems can be a good buy as long as you have full disclosure, and complete honesty from your dealer.  There is a phrase in Latin: "caveat emptor,"  which means: "let the buyer beware."  Salt system based hot tubs have a lot to be wary of.  Let's look at some of the claims out there.
Here's one:  salt water systems are cheap to purchase.  Well, that depends on how you define "cheap."  A standalone salt water system runs $500 to $700.  In addition, most of these systems have only a one year warranty, so at one year and one day, you're on the hook for repairs.  But what about built in salt water systems?

Hot Tub Maintenance:  Grandiose Claims Vs. Reality

When you buy a hot tub, built in salt systems can run up to $1500, and again, only have a one year warranty.  Some hot tub dealers out there will throw in a salt system for "free" with the purchase of a hot tub.  However, if you think about it, wouldn't it be better to get a $1500 discount on your hot tub as opposed to a freebie that is expensive to maintain and keep up?  While monthly hot tub salt is half the price of chlorine based systems, you also have to purchase: hot tub chlorine, hot tub shock, calcium remover, pH elevators, pH lowering agents, stain and scale defense, de-foamer, and 5 way test strips.  As we covered previously, over a period of five to ten years, you will end up spending thousands on water sanitizers.  However, there are more reasons to be wary.

One hot tub salt system manufacturer proudly proclaims "Real diamonds used in every salt cell!"  There is no nice way to put this: big whoop.  Diamonds are used to convey an air of luxury and to make the salt cells appear more valuable than they truly are.  What people don't realize is that the diamonds in question are essentially made from industrial grade diamonds, not the sparkly things you see in a jewelry commercial.  In addition, these "diamonds" are essentially crushed and powdered diamonds and when the salt cell is used up, they're thrown out.  So be sharp here.  Don't be fooled by some over the top claim, nor a bunch of shine and polish that is nothing.  And make sure you ask your hot tub dealer in Glendale for their advice on what sort of system is best for your hot tub.

Hot Tub Care and Maintenance: A Word of Caution on Salt Water Systems (Contd.)

Hot Tub Sales: Get the Facts

Hot tubs are a wonderful thing to have in your home.  You can expect to have much lower stress levels than a lot of people, better circulation, not to mention a good night's sleep.  A hot tub should never be a cause for stress, especially financial stress.  A salt system, as we covered previously, may not be the low-stress alternative that it seems to be.
What's so stressful about salt water systems in a hot tub?  Well first off, there can be hidden costs.  While hot tub salt is half the cost of hot tub chlorine, the other costs connected with a salt system actually end up costing you more money.  Salt cells are expensive, sometimes as much as $500 and they have to be replaced every year and a half.  In addition, you still have to buy chlorine, De-foamer, and test strips.  Over a period of five to ten years, you will find that you end up spending thousands more on sanitizing your hot tub that you would by buying a hot tub with a traditional chemical based system.  One of the other claims of a salt-water based hot tub is that your skin is healthier and feels better because of using salt water instead of harsh chemicals.  That's not necessarily the case.

Hot Tub Use and Your Water Quality

If all that was in your water was a bit of salt, then your skin would not react adversely to time in the tub,  however, all salt water systems use a salt cell that produces a combination of chlorine, oxygen, and other oxidizers and cleaners that are essentially just chemicals.  In addition, salt water produces oxidizing compounds as well.  Too much of anything, from hot tub chlorine to oxidizers would not be good for anyone's skin.    Another claim of salt water systems is that they are supposedly more eco-friendly.  Wrong.  As we covered above and in our previous article, there are LOT of harsh chemicals in salt-water systems.  Surprisingly enough, a traditional chemical-based hot tub is actually less harmful to the environment than a salt system is because you use less chemicals.  That's not the case with salt water systems.

There are more outrageous claims regarding salt-water systems, which will be covered in a future article, but for now, know that salt water systems may not be as beneficial as you may think when you are looking to buy a new hot tub.

When you are in the market for a spa, you want to make sure you get the right one for your needs.  So if you need a tub that is low maintenance, a salt system may not be the right one for you.  Ultimately, you want to make sure you buy the best hot tub.

Hot Tub Care and Maintenance: A Word of Caution on Salt Water Systems

Hot tub care isn't just about knowing what to do.  It is about knowing what not to do as well.  One thing that we can't stress enough is to avoid salt water systems in your hot tub.

Hot Tub Maintenance:  Hold the Salt, Please

When you buy a hot tub, you are making a good decision.  Hot tubs have proven health benefits from pain relief and improved circulation all the way up to stress relief.  To keep your stress level down, you also want to make sure that you know what to do where hot tub maintenance is concerned. There is a lot of misinformation out there about how good salt water systems are in pools and hot tubs.  This may not necessarily be the case.  Supposedly salt water systems require less work and they're "hands free."  They are also supposedly better for your skin than traditional chemical based systems because they do not use harsh chemicals.  Finally, they supposedly cost a lot less than First off, let's look at the hands-free claim.
Take a good look at a manual for salt water systems when you want to buy a hot tub. Usually there are almost 200 separate warnings and procedures.  With a salt system, it is necessary for the owner of a hot tub to remove the salt cell every three months and clean it with an acid solution.  In addition, manufacturers of salt water based hot tubs recommend that you clean it with spa chlorine and shock, which pretty much negates the claim that it doesn't use harsh chemicals.  But what about the claim that salt systems are low cost?

Hot Tub Care and Your Wallet

While hot tub salt is about half the cost of hot tub chlorine per month, the other costs connected with a salt water system actually end up costing you more than a traditional hot tub.  For example, salt cells only last about a year and a half.  You have to replace them at that point and you will be looking at a replacement cost of between $300 and $500 when you do.  There are more costs connected with salt systems in hot tubs, but for now, know that hot tub salt systems aren't as much of a cost savings as you might think.

So be a smart consumer.  When you are in the market for a hot tub, make sure you know the pluses and minuses of the tub you're looking to get.  Know how much care you're going to need to give it each month and when you're going to need to do it.  That way you can make sure that you not only have a hot tub, you have gotten the right hot tub.
