Monday, February 10th, 2020

If you’ve spent any time shopping for a new hot tub, you’ve probably heard a lot about how good hot tubs are for your health. But apart from being relaxing and soothing, many people still wonder, “What does a hot tub actually do for your body?” The short answer? A lot.

Using a hot tub regularly can have a tremendous impact on a number of health conditions and provide a big boost to your overall well-being. To understand the effects of a hot tub on the body, here are some common physical ailments and health issues that can be alleviated with regular hot tub use.

Muscle soreness

Chronic pain affects an estimated 20% of U.S. adults or around 50 million people. Often, that pain takes the form of sore muscles. Thankfully, hot tubs might be able to provide some relief. The heat from the spa water could help loosen tight muscles and encourage blood flow, which can help reduce pain. Powerful jet systems can also massage the muscles and alleviate any tension that may be causing discomfort. That’s why regular hot tub use might not only relieve pain, but it can also provide a boost for your exercise routine as well.

Joint pain

Joint pain is another common affliction that can be improved through daily hot tub use. The reason is simple: The buoyancy of water can take weight off of your joints, which might help relieve joint pain or arthritis pain. According to the Arthritis Foundation, warm water immersion “offers 360-degree support for sore limbs, can decrease swelling and inflammation and increase circulation.” They also note that the effects of a hot tub on your body may continue for a prolonged period after you’ve left the spa.

Stress

Modern life is full of stressors that can take their toll on your physical and emotional well-being. But hot tubs help melt that stress away through the power of warm water hydrotherapy. Studies have shown that your body’s autonomic nervous system balances out when you immerse yourself in warm water. This balancing act could help you better manage stress and can even lead to “a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease, improved memory, enhanced cognitive processes and increased concentration.”

Anxiety

Hot tubs might help reduce anxiety in much the same way that they can impact your stress levels. The way warm water affects your body’s nervous system might help you process emotions and relieve anxiety. But there are features beyond the water itself that can help with anxiety. Built-in LED lights help create a calming atmosphere while integrated Bluetooth speakers allow you to listen to relaxing music or a guided meditation program.

Poor sleep

According to one study , up to 70% of U.S. adults say they don’t get the sleep they need. And lack of sleep quickly takes a toll on both mind and body. But a hot tub can help correct that. A relaxing soak before bed helps you disconnect from the stresses and obligations in your daily life. Taking a break from screens and social media also helps quiet your mind and has been proven to lead to better sleep. By relaxing your muscles and erasing the worries of the day, a hot tub can set the stage for night after night of restorative sleep.

Conclusion

When it comes down to it, there’s a lot that a hot tub does for your body. But you won’t know how it’ll work for you until you try it yourself. Find your local Hot Spring dealer and schedule a wet test today. You’ll be able to experience the massage of powerful jets and enjoy all the transformative properties of your very own hot tub.

Benefits of the Freshwater Salt System

Tuesday, October 8th, 2019

The Freshwater Salt System is a great tool that can be used on all Highlife and Limelight Collection spas. This easy to use salt water system completely eliminates the constant worry of keeping spa water clean, clear and sanitized. On top of that, it will last for a whole year! With the addition of just a little salt in your spa water, this system generates chlorine automatically. You’ll spend less time measuring and adding chemicals, and more time enjoying your hot tub. This exclusive system makes spa ownership easier than ever before by removing the guesswork and trouble behind water care maintenance. Here are some of the reasons that the Freshwater Salt System is the best choice in water care.

Water Conservation

At the leading edge of the FreshWater Salt System’s innovation is water conservation. The trend toward conservation is prevalent as ever, and water conservation is no exception to it. To remain a worthwhile industry more has to be done to remove the stigma of hot tubs as water-wasters. With the Freshwater Salt System, fewer chemicals are needed, and the water stays cleaner for much longer. Clean spa water lasts 12 months before it needs to be drained and refilled. This is a much more affordable option for saltwater, so more spa owners can take advantage of this opportunity to conserve.

Titanium Cartridge

The low-cost titanium cartridge works with salt to generate chlorine that will keep your water clean, looking great and feeling more relaxed with no harsh odors. The disposable titanium cartridge lasts for four months, is accessible from the bar top, does not require any extra maintenance and can be replaced easily in seconds. To get started, the dealer just installs the components from the start-up kit. After that, the spa owner tests the water and adjusts output settings every 10 days as prompted by the display on the spa. The cartridges get replaced every four months, and the water only needs to be drained once a year, it’s that simple!

Affordable and Easy

Similar to ACE cartridges, but at a lower cost, the titanium cartridge in the system generates sanitizer from salt without giving off the harsh chlorine feel or odor. This keeps the water clean, clear and feeling softer. Normally, the cartridge requires no maintenance or cleaning. If run outside of hardness parameters, the cell may scale but can still be easily cleaned. The low-cost, integrated and in-line design benefits of the FreshWater Salt System make salt water spa ownership more attractive and accessible than ever. With its affordability, easy maintenance and water saving solutions, the reason to choose a Hot Spring spa with the FreshWater Salt System is clear. This system makes for the most affordable chlorine-generating salt system that allows you to work as little as possible, leaving you with even more time to enjoy your spa.

Simple Cartridge Replacement 

After four months of use, or when the cartridge stops producing sanitizer, the cartridge can be changed in a matter of seconds from the bar top. There is no need to drain the spa water, unplug any wires or call the dealer. Replacement cartridges are sold in packs of three, giving spa owners an easy and affordable one-year supply of water care.

Integrated In-Line Design

The FreshWater System works with the spa control panel and plumbing making for a convenient and reliable overall operation. No unpleasant added components on the spa with this system! The instructions on the control panel clearly indicate when the salt system needs attention and tells you what direct steps to take, removing all of the guesswork. Keeping up with the maintenance of hot tubs with the Freshwater Salt System could not be any easier!
