Did you know that hot tubs are an investment in family time?

While we highly encourage all of our hot tubbers to use their hot tub every day for the health and wellness benefits, there’s another extra special benefit of hot tub time. Hot Tubs provide unplugged family time to reconnect and have meaningful conversations with your family.

It’s Time to Unplug

Have you ever noticed how sometimes you can all be at home, or even in the same room, but the children are watching TV or playing with a device, while the parents are staring intently at their phones? You’re in the same room together, but you aren’t really spending quality time with each other.

When you are in a hot tub, devices aren’t an option (simply because if they got wet, they would break). As a result, any time you get into the hot tub with your family, you have an opportunity to share an experience together and have conversations that may not have occurred otherwise.

Family Time

One of our hot tubbers told us how her family reconnects in the hot tub together at the same time, even though they all appreciate different aspects of hot tub time.

“The whole family loves it for different reasons. Kids love to splash and play, husband loves to relax and I love the hydrotherapy,” said Rebecca B. of Reno, Spa and Sauna Daily Soaker.

Hot tub time is a memorable experience, meant for the entire family.

Other Wellness Benefits of Hot Tub Time

Here at The Spa and Sauna Company family of stores, we truly embrace the Wellness aspects that hot tubs bring to people’s lives. In fact, we recently won an award for Wellness from our hot tub manufacturers, related to our initiatives that embrace hot tubs and wellness.

Other benefits of soaking in hot water include:

Improved sleep
Stress relief
Pain relief
And more.

So next time you are hoping to gather your family together and reconnect, consider putting all of those devices away, getting in the hot tub together, and making some memories. You’ll be glad you did.

How long does it take to buy a hot tub? Well, the answer really depends on a number of factors, including your shopping preferences, your confidence or familiarity with the hot tub brand, and your trust in the hot tub company.

Rest assured, when you purchase from The Spa and Sauna Company family of stores in Nevada and California, you are buying from your local hot tub experts, who have been selling quality hot tubs and  serving their local communities for decades.

Some customers can come into our showroom, pick out and purchase a hot tub in an hour, while others need more time to make that decision, sometimes months.

At The Spa and Sauna Company’s family of stores, we have had many repeat and referral hot tub customers over the years. We’ve even had customers come in and order the exact same hot tub years later because they enjoyed it so much, but were ready to upgrade to the latest features.

Below we will explore some factors that will determine how long it will take YOU to buy a hot tub.

Research – Research a little or research a lot, depending on your own preferences

Research could take as short or as long as you like, depending on your preferences. Some people spend hours and hours researching online before making a purchase. Others are very comfortable choosing from the well-known hot tub brands that we offer almost immediately, because they are familiar with them or have even owned them before.

Whatever your personal research preferences are, we are here, in part, to educate you about hot tubs and any other products we carry. We encourage our shoppers to be educated and are happy to provide those resources to you.

You can learn about some of our most commonly asked questions in our Learning Center here, or in our Blog section here.  We also have an Owner’s Corner to assist after your purchase, that you can look at here.

Do you have questions about the quality of the water inside your hot tub? Have you noticed a change to how the water feels, but you aren’t sure why? Would you like to stop guessing on how to maintain the best quality hot tub water?

We’re here to help with Advanced Water Testing at all 5 of our locations, using BioGuard ALEX Pro testing units. And the best part is, it’s a free service!

At The Spa and Sauna Company’s family of stores in Nevada and California, we are happy to be your hot tub experts, long beyond your hot tub purchase. We are also here to help you with hot tub water care and maintenance.

Advanced Water Testing is always free from The Spa and Sauna Company/Hot Spring Spas of Santa Cruz and San Jose.

What is Advanced Water Testing?

We use BioGuard/SpaGuard’s ALEX Pro system. BioGuard is the pioneer of computerized water testing, with nearly instant results. In fact, the name ALEX stands for Analysis Experts, according to BioGuard/SpaGuard.

ALEX tests more water quality factors than standard water testing strips and can analyze how different results are related, giving you the information you need to best care for your hot tub.

How do I get my hot tub water tested?

All you need to do is bring a sample of your water, in a clean container or the provided sample bottle, into any of our showrooms. We encourage you to bring it to us as soon as you can, after taking the sample from your spa. And the water should still be between 80 and 104 degrees, just like it would be in your hot tub.

No appointment is needed.

One of our hot tub water care experts will take a small amount of your sample and put it into a disc, where our ALEX Pro system, can analyze your water.

In about a minute, the device will analyze and interpret the condition of your water and provide a comprehensive report, with suggestions on how to improve your hot tub water.

The hot tub expert who analyzed your water will discuss with you, in detail, what the reading means. And which of the suggestions will provide the most relief to your particular water issue. They will also direct you to any recommended products.

This system will store the results of the reading in our database. This will allow you, and us, to monitor any changes in your water quality over time, as you continue to use your hot tub, and bring future samples in for readings. This is a great resource for long time hot tubbers.

How often should I test my hot tub water?

We recommend you use test strips weekly at home to get a quick overview of your water quality, and make any adjustments, if needed.

You are welcome to bring your water in, at any time, for a comprehensive water testing analysis from us, either for a check-in or if you are experiencing a water issue.

SpaGuard recommends you bring your hot tub water in monthly, during the months you use your hot tub most frequently.

We also recommend you bring your water in for testing, if you have not used your hot tub for a long period of time, and are ready to begin using it again.

We look forward to seeing you in any of our showrooms to test your water and make sure you are having the most enjoyable hot tub ownership experience possible.

Is your hot tub cover over a few years old? Is it starting to look a bit worn from the weather and sun exposure? It might be time for a new hot tub cover!

And, we have developed a few indicators you can look for to see if your hot tub cover does need replacing.

Hot Tub Cover Condition

Hot Tub Covers degrade over time, and that’s normal. Hot Tub Covers are designed to last for about 3 to 5 years.

If you add a Cover Cover, which is available for purchase here, you can add years of life to your cover. You can also regularly treat your hot tub cover with 303 Protectant, to protect it from the sun’s UV rays. 303 Protectant also keeps dirt off of your cover and keeps it looking fresh. 303 Protectant can be purchased at any of our showrooms.

We sell replacement hot tub covers at all of our locations in Reno, Sparks, San Jose and Santa Cruz. If you are looking for a replacement cover, click here and select where your cover will be delivered to, fill out the form and one of our team members will be in touch to help you get a replacement hot tub cover.

Vinyl

Check your vinyl for signs of: Dryness, Brittleness, Dirt, Tears, Cracks.

Any and all of these symptoms might mean that it is time for a new cover. Changes in these conditions will affect the look, safety and heat retention abilities of your cover.

Hinges and Hinge Gaskets (or Shoes)

Heat can escape from a torn hinge, which might result in heat loss from your hot tub. A new cover keeps your hot tub hot and ready to use at any time.

If your hinge gasket, or shoes, are torn, damaged or missing, heat will leave your hot tub rapidly. Be sure to get that repaired or replaced, especially if you want to get into a nice, hot, hot tub during the long Reno/Tahoe winter months.

Straps and Locks

If your hot tub cover straps and locks are torn, broken, rusted or even missing, that is something you should take care of right away. Not only is it unsightly, but it can be a safety concern, especially around children and pets.

Foam Cores

This is the most important part of your hot tub cover. Over time the foam core can sag, which will create a gap in your heat seal, leaving your hot tub less hot).

Here are a few things to look out for related to your foam core, and indicating that you need a new hot tub cover:

You see puddles on top of your hot tub cover.

You notice that your hot tub cover has become much heavier over time.

There might even be an odor, if your cover has absorbed water.

How to Keep Your Hot Tub Cover (and your Hot Tub) Healthy

Treat your hot tub cover to a regular dose of 303 Cover Protectant. This will keep the Vinyl healthy. You can do this about once a month, when you change your filter. Caring for your hot tub cover properly can extend its lifespan.

Be sure to get a new hot tub cover every 3 to 5 years, or if your hot tub cover has been damaged. Caring for all of the parts of your hot tub, including the hot tub cover, will create a more enjoyable hot tub experience.

The opportunity for massage is one of the main reasons people buy hot tubs. The convenience of having massage options at home can be life changing.

There are some things to consider when selecting a hot tub with the best massage options for you.

You will want to make sure there are many jets, many different types of jets, and a powerful pump. You may also be looking for jets that can be aimed at different portions of your body for a head-to-toe massage experience.

For more tips on how to select the hot tub with the best massage options, read the original article here on Hot Spring Spas’ official website. The original article was first published online at HotSpringSpas.com.

You can be a hot tubber and still conserve water, whether it is for environmental or financial concerns. Most modern hot tubs are water-efficient. The FreshWater Salt System, is very water-efficient, requiring water changes only once a year.

Feel free to enjoy your hot tub and know you are that you are doing your best to help the environment as well. For more water conservation tips and to learn about the Freshwater Salt System, continue reading.
