Top Hot Tub Tips – The Essentials!

January 25, 2021

One half of the family want a hot tub, the other appears non committed. Does this sound familiar?  

However not going on holiday, being in a lockdown scenario and the week merging into the weekend takes its toll on families and mental health. It needs to be broken up with night-time soaks whilst looking up at the stars, giggling children splashing about with their floaty toys and romantic quite times (away from the kids) with a glass of something bubbly... Or if in lockdown you’ve been sharing a working space with your other half, some alone time perhaps.... ah remember that?    

If your decision has been made to purchase a hot tub or swim spa, consider these essential tips.   
 
Water  
Once you have filled your hot tub with water it’s advisable to change it every 3 – 4 months. Keep an eye on your water too. If it starts to smell or you’ve been using it everyday constantly, it may be worth a change. Regular draining is also key to balancing your water chemistry.     
Chemicals  
Not sure on what to do with the chemical elements of a hot tub? Luso Spas supplies a chemical starter kit with full instructions on what to do. It’s important to keep your hot tub clean and use the chemicals, however if in any instance you find yourself wandering what to do, we’re a friendly bunch, just pick up the phone and give us a call on our support line: 07907 335 508 
 
Hot Tub Cover  
In order to keep your energy bills manageable, ensure you have a hot tub cover, this will ensure the heat it retained although naturally some heat will escape. Having a cover will also ensure your hot tub stays clean from debris too. Let’s face it no-one would like to jump into a bubbling hot tub and have to fish out random twigs from the cracks between your toes! All Luso Spas hot tubs and swims spas come complete with a cover so this shouldn’t be an issue. https://www.lusospas.co.uk/spaaccessories 
 
Where To Put Your Hot Tub 
Our Luso Hot Tubs can be placed inside or out, under a cover or no cover. However we do need a level surface to place your hot tub on. Our hot tubs come with a FREE abs base, which helps to steady your hot tub and protect it. An Abs base or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, is a plastic compound used in several household appliances and everyday products. It is resistant to blunt force damage and remains semi-flexible at room temperature. 
Even if you know where to put it but haven’t a clue how it’s going to get into the space, we can crane it in!   
 
Electricity 
If you aren’t sure how this will work, Luso Spas stocks a wide range of ‘plug and play’ hot tubs – you just plug it into a regular 13amp socket and away you go. If you want a different hot tub or swim spa that isn’t a ‘plug and play’, we offer a full electrical installation https://www.lusospas.co.uk/hottubs/32AMP-FULL-ELECTRICAL-INSTALLATION-p258169672. 
 
Finance Options  
If you love the idea of a hot tub or swim spa, however don’t know how you would afford the one full payment, we offer finance options for as little as £36.42 per month (subject to terms and conditions) https://www.lusospas.co.uk/applying-for-finance which is great value for money considering the whole family will use it multiple times.   
 
Hopefully these essential tips will aid in providing you a little bit of paradise in your own back garden. Your only other decision is which hot tub or swim spa and what swimming costume to wear!
