The problem is a lot of hot tub owners and people who are considering getting hot tubs aren’t quite sure how to maximize their hot tub experience in the summer.
Luckily, this is our area of expertise, so we’ve got together and created a few easy points that you can follow to get the most out of your hot tub this summer. To see what they all are, keep reading.
Save Money On Running Costs
One thing even experienced hot tub owners don’t always take advantage of is the fact that the summer can be a great opportunity to save money on your running costs. This is because the hot weather in the summer can help to keep your hot tub heated for longer.
Of course, in the UK we don’t necessarily have the hottest summers, but a little heat can go a long way, particularly if the sun shines onto your hot tub throughout the day.
If it is a hot day and you have your hot tub running, you can simply turn the temperature of your hot tub heaters down. This allows your hot tub to slow down the amount of output it is producing from heating your water and instead maintain a hot water level without needing to do as much work.
It may sound simple but this little trick could actually save you a lot more money than you think and shave a considerable amount off your hot tub bill especially if you use your hot tub regularly throughout the summer.
Another thing that helps reduce your running costs is using a hot tub cover. Generally, a good hot tub cover will provide you with an extra layer of insulation against heat loss in the winter months.
However, when you use a hot tub cover in the summer it can really help to maintain your hot tubs heat and therefore you can save money by eliminating the need to use your hot tub heaters as much.
Add Accessories
Another way to get the most out of your hot tub this summer is by using some accessories to add to your overall hot tub experience.
There are many different accessories out there and some of them can help enhance your hot tub in different ways. However, one of the best hot tub accessories you can get this summer is a drink holder.
When you are laying in your hot tub feeling the hydrotherapy jets gently massaging your full body while you soak up the hot water there are few things that can make the experience better than having a cool refreshing drink right beside you.
The problem is generally with the height of hot tubs it;s hard to get an area where you can put your drink conveniently. Even if you do have a drink that is placed nearby, you may still have to stretch to get it and risk spilling it everywhere.
This can really take you out of your zone of relaxation and turn your comforting hot tub experience into a stressful one. So one of the best things you can do is have a great drink holder, if you are stuck finding one then you can find some here.
When To Take A Dip
Another thing that you can do to make you get the most out of your hot tub this summer is to take use your hot tub more often.
Many people don’t take full advantage of their hot tubs and they only dip in them in the evening however there are many more opportunities than just this.
If you have a set routine or even add in more hot tub sessions you’ll realise that you could be using your hot tub a lot more frequently than you currently are.
For example in the good weather, you could take an early morning dip before you begin your working day. This will help make sure you are more relaxed going into your day and you will be de-stressed.
Another option is to use your hot tub after you have finished work. Many people take the stresses of work home with them and their personal lives however you don’t have to do this.
Instead, if you come home after a stressful day, why not take a quick dip in your hot tub, fire up the water settings, and lay back as you wash your stresses away.
