Using Your Hot Tub When the Weather Gets Cooler.

Already we are feeling the chill in the air and soon we will be entering autumn, where the evenings and days will start to feel cooler. Many people use this seasonal change to enjoy their hot tub more, you can pump up the temperature and jump into that relaxing hot spa when you want to relax in these cooler months.


Top Tips For Using Your Hot Tub in Winter!

When autumn arrives this brings debris from trees and inconsistent weather. To increase the longevity of your hot tub, it’s essential to use a cover to keep your hot tub clear of debris and to protect it from the elements. 


A Good Seal.

Ensuring the cover is well sealed against the hot tub surface and attached securely, will increase the energy efficiency of your tub. The smallest of gaps causes a loss of heat and further evaporation - this will make your tub work harder to reach a required temperature. 


An excellent way to add that extra level of protection during this time is to use a Winter Cover. This is a popular choice and gives better protection in winter months, plus all year-round UV protection. If you plan to close your tub down, this will also help protect it from the elements.


We also recommend having a towel handy when going to and from your hot tub. Getting out into the cold is better when wrapped quickly with a warm cover, we suggest using our easy to install Towel Holder so you can be warm as soon as you leave the tub.

For complete winter luxury, why not relax around an easy to reach fire pit after your hot tub experience. Our Fire Pit set is a great compliment to our range - this will maximise your luxury back garden experience.
