Hydrotherapy is well known for its health and wellness benefits – thousands of years ago the Egyptians bathed in scented oils and today hospitals use it for the treatment of arthritis, strokes and paralysis. The hydrotherapeutic benefits of a session in a hot tub include improved circulation, decreased joint pain, acceleration of the body’s natural healing processes and the reduced effects of stress.
Maybe it’s the first time you have purchased a hot tub and you want to create the best environment possible to enjoy the hydromassage experience. To ensure you experience the full benefits and pleasure of owning your own hot tub, the experts at Jacuzzi have compiled the following top tips to help you choose the right hot tub for you.
Jet Performance and Placement
Jet function and placement is important. The positioning of the jets determines the quality and comfort of your massage. Jets which are placed strategically give a soothing, gentle massase or a powerful deep muscle massage.
Seating Arrangements and Design
Comfort is a primary consideration and ergonomically designed seating, smooth surfaces and soft sculpting for ease of movement within the hot tub ensure there are no hard or sharp edges to run into.
Full Lounge Seating
This is a must for those who want to literally lie back and relax. Therapy seats with additional jets add a whole new dimension to the experience. Choose a hot tub with a seating capacity for your requirements. Consider whether it will it be just you and a partner using the hot tub, or whether you'll be inviting friends and family round to share the enjoyment.
Special Features
Look out for waterfalls, Stereo sound systems, cup holders, underwater lighting and iPod docking stations as well as exterior lighting to give you all you need for total relaxation.
Finishes Available
A choice of interior and exterior colours and finishes ensures that you have a hot tub perfectly suited to its surroundings.
Hot Tub Location
Think about where you want to locate your hot tub. Is it more important to you to have it positioned close to the house, or do you prefer a secluded spot at the end of the garden? You also need to consider access to the preferred location. Can you easily gain access to the back of the house?
Insulation
Look for good insulation within the hot tub. A Jacuzzi Hot Tub has a deep foam filling between the interior and exterior of the tub, protecting the plumbing and retaining heat.
Controls
Easy to reach and read controls allow you to readily set your preferences for heat, lighting, jet pressure and filter cycles.
