Hot Tub Stereos Liven Up The Spa

Hot tubs are becoming one of the more popular entertaining features in homes across the country. They are a great way to bring people together for a fun, relaxing and entertaining time. With so many different hot tubs and styles, there are a variety of options to make a hot tub fit into your life. One of the greatest parts of being a hot tub owner is all of the fun toys and hot tub accessories you can outfit your hot tub with.

Awesome and stylish drink holders, floating beer coozies, steps, storage containers, and umbrellas…the options are endless to make your hot tub your own. One of the new popular options for your spas are hot tub stereos.

The BellaGrande SL is one the most sought after hot tubs with a standard stereo system. This system includes four topside pop-up corner speakers that are accompanied by an in-cabinet sub-woofer for great sound quality and volume. A great feature with this stereo hot tub is that the corner speakers are positioned closer to your ears so you do not have to have the volume too loud to enjoy the music. On the other hand, should the occasion arise, the stereo has plenty of power "impress" the neighbors!

In-cabinet sub-woofers improve the sound quality and we always include them on our stereo spas. At Spas And Stuff, we figure that if you are going to add a stereo to your hot tub, the most important feature is the sound quality. These speaker options can be used for stepping up the romance, pumping up the party, or setting a relaxing mood.

SpasAndStuff.com always includes a floating remote for hot tub bather convenience. This allows you to change the music or volume without leaving your seat. We also have two other spa lines with optional stereos. These are the Free Free-Spirit model spas and the Free-Spirit Lounger models.

Cooling your Hot Tub for Summer Fun

Spas and hot tubs can make the perfect mini pool if you only have a small deck or patio, or if you don’t want to deal with the maintenance of an above ground pool. Hot tub owners can go into "cool water mode" by turning the temperature down as low as possible so the heater will not come on. This will allow you to enjoy cooler water in the hot, hot heat. Once you remove the hot tub cover and turn on the jets, the spa will begin to cool immediately. Make sure you have any air and waterfall type features on, as this will assist in cooling the water. To keep the spa cooler, you can put the cover back on so the sun doesn’t reheat the tub. You can also try leaving the cover off at night, where the cooler ambient night air can help cool the water. Important to note thought that it is very difficult to get the water below the actual ambient air temperature.

Having a hot tub gives you the perfect soaking tub/pool that is easy to maintain and a great size for those who don’t have a lot of room. Another great benefit is the cost savings that comes from cooling down your hot tub. You don’t have to pay for heating during the warm summer months.

Saltwater Hot Tubs: New Hot Tubs and Converting

Saltwater hot tubs are growing in popularity at an outstanding rate. Due to recent media coverage surrounding chemicals and how they can affect the body, many people are decreasing the amount of chemicals they are exposed to and have made changes in various parts of their lives to achieve this. Saltwater hot tubs offer a great option for those who fall in this camp. They are virtually chemical free and might be a great choice for you.

There are some basic differences between a saltwater hot tub and a conventional, chlorine-based tub. Salt-water hot tubs will often use Bromine instead of chlorine, which has fewer odors, a more neutral smell and tends to be less harsh on the skin and eyes. Salt-water can actually be better for your spa since you should not have to use powders to clean it. Since the Bromine keeps it clean and bacteria free, fewer harsh cleaning agents are required for regular upkeep.

The skin benefits of ocean water have been talked about, and girls even use salt water to style their hair!
Saltwater spas have far less salt content than the ocean, but the same great benefits from the saltwater including those that help your skin, stress levels, and overall health.

Hydrotherapy in saltwater is cleansing and will leave your skin feeling smooth and supple. It increases moisture retention, rejuvenates the skin by detoxifying and promotes cellular regeneration. Salt water also reduces the inflammation of joints and muscles, leaving your body relaxed and stress free. It contains bromide, which helps relieve muscle pain and soreness. The minerals in saltwater also offer health benefits. The potassium present in salt water is beneficial because your blood needs it after exercise. Magnesium helps in making your nervous system healthy. The sodium in salt water keeps your immune system in check for appropriate fluid balance in your body. The calcium helps in keeping your bones and teeth healthy.

Saltwater Systems for New Hot Tubs: SpasAndStuff.com offers the Gecko in.clear® salt bromine generators for hot tubs that use sodium bromide to produce free bromine in spa water, using a chemical reaction similar to that used in a saltwater chlorine generator. A big feature of the bromine salt generator is that the salt content in the water is much less than a salt chlorine generator. With the in.clear® system, it is around 1,400 ppm, compared to a salt chlorine generator system, which is typically more than 2,000 ppm. The lowered salt level is an important benefit because not only is it a less expensive option, but it also reduces the potential for corrosion, which can be a concern in saltwater environments under certain conditions.

Saltwater Systems to Convert your Hot Tub: We now offer compact saltwater chlorine and bromine generators, so you can convert your hot tub to saltwater sanitizing. The same units work with sodium bromide to generate bromine, or sodium chloride to generate chlorine. Whether you choose to convert your hot tub to chlorine or bromine, there is nothing like the soft water feel of a saltwater hot tub.
