Frequently Asked Questions |
- Q. What’s the difference between a Hot Tub and a Spa?
- A. Hot Tub is a generic term and is basically the same as a Spa. They both involve treatment using heated waters with pumps and air circulation.
- Q. Does sitting in a Spa really reduce stress and blood pressure?
- A. Many leading medical authorities believe so. They also consider that a Spa or Hot Tub is useful in healing sports injuries, alleviating the symptoms of arthritis and promotes healing after orthopaedic surgery. But many people simply find that it is a delightfully sensuous luxurious way of enjoying life.
- Q. Can electricity and water really co-exist safely?
- A. They do in your washing machine and your steam iron. You must have a qualified electrician make the watertight connection to your mains supply, but a competent person can then connect the Hot Tub to this using an RCD.
- Q. How often should I change the water?
- A. It depends on how frequently you use your Hot Tub and how well it is maintained. We will advise you on the best practice for your particular model, but Offical Standards recommend as a broad rule of thumb that you should change the water at least every 12 weeks, but ideally monthly.
- Q. Must the Hot Tub be connected to the main water supply?
- A. No. Most people use a hosepipe to fill and top it up, but do not leave the hose in the water whilst doing this, and ensure that you maintain an air gap between the two.
- Q. Can I buy a chemical-free Hot Tub?
- A. Like swimming pools, all Hot Tubs need disinfectant chemicals to maintain a safe bathing environment. Be very wary about claims that you can run a Hot Tub without chemicals. So far, no-one has come up with anything as effective as chlorine, bromine for killing bacteria in water.
- Q. What about maintenance?
- A. We train all our customers on all you need to know about water maintenance, purification and filtration. Its really quite straight forward and only involves a few minutes each week.
- Q. Can I put the Hot Tub anywhere in my garden?
- A. Yes – so long as the area is flat, and has a solid base. You could also site it indoors, if you had a big enough area like a conservatory or wet room.
- Q. What about adjustable jets? And can you remove them for servicing?
- A. Yes. And Yes.
