If you have invested your time, energy and money into installing a hot tub or
spa in your home or backyard then it is critical that you also take the time to
maintain it well. Spa supply dealers can provide you with all of the various spa
supply accessories that you will need to ensure that you spa runs efficiently,
effectively and gives you the warm water experience for which you intend it.
Accessories To Consider
Some of the spa supply accessories you should consider purchase include:
Larger Pumps and Extra Jets - All 5' and
larger spa systems come with a 1-1/2HP, 240v, 2 speed pump and four massage
jets which is usually just fine for the spa itself if you use it once or twice
a week throughout the year and with one to three people in the tub at any one
time. If you would prefer more jets, then all you need to do is ask your spa
supply dealer for spa supply jet accessories to accomplish this.
Air Blower System - The next spa supply
accessory to consider is a Bubbler System which blows bubbles through small
holes which in turn can be very soothing for the user.
Larger Gas Heater Option - The standard gas
heater provided with most hot tub systems is a 100k Btu gas heater - this is
generally fine for average use, but if you are looking for warmer water for a
sustained period, then speak with your spa supply dealer about a spa supply
accessory like a larger gas heater. This will help you raise the temperature
of the water faster and for a longer period of time.
Covers - There are two different types of
covers that you can purchase from your spa supply dealer. One is an
inexpensive floating blanket that rests right on the water while the other is
an insulating hard cover that fits over the top of the tub and forms a
complete seal. . Speak to your spa supply dealer about the options including
wooden covers, aluminum covers, and roll covers.
