Hot Tub / Spa Benefits
There are so many benefits to hot
tub ownership! Some of the most obvious benefits include relaxation,
therapeutic exercise and, of course, just plain fun!
Here’s
to your Relaxation
Did you know?
- A recent study shows that 70%
of employed Americans suffer stress-related conditions, such as depression,
ulcers, high blood pressure, anxiety and insomnia.
- A National Sleep Foundation
study found that a 15-minute soak in hot water can actually help you
fall asleep faster.
- Studies show that warm water
allows your blood vessels to dilate, allowing more blood and oxygen
to flow to your muscles – and you relax!
- 56% of hot tub/spa owners
cite relaxation as the primary reason for purchasing a hot
tub or spa.
Spas and hot tubs are a great getaway
from your daily routine. Warm, smooth bubbling water can turn even the
most stressful day into pure pleasure – just for fun, just for
romance or just because!
Here’s to your Health
Water exercise is proven to be a safe and effective way for many, many
people to get and stay in shape. In fact water exercise can be safe
for many people that cannot participate in other forms of activity.
The soothing heat and buoyancy of water creates an ideal environment
for relieving the pain of many chronic health conditions such as arthritis,
fibromyalgia and orthopedic injuries. Water supports sore joints to
encourage ease of movement while at the same time providing gentle resistance
to build strength and muscle. As with any health regimen, consult a
physician prior to beginning a new exercise program.
Here’s
to your Entertainment
For a party of many or a party of one, hot tubs and spas are THE source
for enjoyment, amusement and pleasure. It is a perfect environment for
the whole family to come together, relax and spend time together. You
could also grill out with family and friends, or just enjoy a romantic
evening with your spouse. The entertainment possibilities are endless,
and the best part is that you never have to leave home – your
escape is only steps away!
Here’s
to your Home Improvement
Your home will look better and you’ll feel better with the addition
of a new spa or hot tub. You can say goodbye to membership dues, travel
reservations and extra recreational fees … your dollars are invested
in you, your home, your family – now and for the future –
there’s no better investment!

- A typical hot tub costs about
$10 - $30 per month in electricity to operate (based on a range of
$.07/kWh - $.10/kWh. The 2003 US national average is $.0871/kWh.)

in a sunny location can use up to 5% LESS electricity than one installed

5% by minimizing heat loss due to wind. Shelter your hot tub by planting
shrubs and/or installing a fence.
