Hot Tub - Why Buy

Hot Tub - Why Buy
Why buy a Jacuzzi Spa Hot Tub is it that ever so nice warm
feeling as you enter the soothing water?

Or perhaps it is the Hydrotherapy provided by that pleasant
flow of water from the Massage Jets?

Is it the fact the using a Jacuzzi benefits mind body and
spirit so well and all at the same time?

When using a Jacuzzi the warm water allows the blood
vessels in the body to dilate so increasing the flow of
blood and with it the supply of nutrients.

The focused massage Jets soothe the tissues and help to
release those built up strains and tensions in the body
particularly in the neck and shoulders.

Perhaps it is the social aspect of enjoying pleasant times
with your family and friends?

Is it for essential reasons like the lady who cannot get to
sleep with out using a Jacuzzi?

Is it the increased and better sleep that one enjoys when
using a Jacuzzi?

No, it is I believe a combination of all those but put
simply you want a better lifestyle and quality of life.

Now let us have a quick look at what features you should
look for in a Hot Tub.

Properly made and designed Hot Tubs should have the very
latest in design and in this article; I set out a couple of
points that need to be taken into account when you are
choosing a Spa that is namely Energy Conservation Systems
and Manifold Plumbing.

Energy Conservation Systems

One example is that in today's modern age, one must
consider energy efficiency and as one example does it have
an Energy Saver System built into the Hot Tub. Combine this
also of course with the ability to run on say only 16 amp
as opposed to many cheap eastern imports, which more often
than not have a high amperage requirement.

A hot tub needs to have an energy saver system to be more
economical in use and to be more green to the planet -
obviously, an energy efficient hot tub will save the
consumer money and use less precious energy thereby
reducing ones carbon footprint, which is very politically
correct.

Some manufacturers use full-foam when they make their Hot
Tubs and these are in my view and that of very large
American manufacturers an old design, as they need to be
able to vent off the motor-generated heat to the outside
air where of course the latent heat contained win in the
unit is just simply wasted. Now when a modern Hot Tub has
an energy saver system the heat produced by the mechanical
equipment in the Spa is re used for the Spa rather than
just vented and wasted way to the outside so it must
obviously be more efficient.

The way an energy saver system works is simply to conserve
the heat generated by the operating components so that it
can be recycled, and used again.

As water, flows through the pipes and plumbing towards the
jets it can draw in air to make a water air mixture by an
action, which is known as venturi. This air for the venturi
effect is in fact taken from the pocket of warm air created
by the Insulation on the shell and the cabinet. Not only is
this warm air recycled and used to warm the water in your
jets, but it also helps to maintain the water temperature
and thus saves energy and indeed the user money as it will
help to reduce the electricity used.

I have heard it said that one of the largest manufacturers
in the worls fully foam their spas to keep the noise of the
pipes down. That is what their retail dealers tell the
public. That is just poppy cock, as a properly designed spa
will not make much noise. They usually have to do this, as
the shell is not as strong as it should be hence the need
for the full foam reinforcement. If such a spa has a leak
it is very difficult to trace as the leak is usually behind
the foam.

Manifold Plumbing

Old fashioned hot tub manufacturers and indeed those hot
tubs that are not made to the very latest designs and
standards use linked, jet-to-jet plumbing systems which can
often result in the very first jet in the line being very
powerful and the last jet being much less so.

A spa manifold plumbing system is designed to automatically
balance the water pressure and even out the water
distribution system such innovative designs means that it
is possible to reduce the number of actual plumbing joints
and in so doing so this helps to maximize the flow of water

This manifold system allows everyone in your spa to enjoy
equal jet power - not just the person who happens to be
sitting in front of the first jet in the line! The more
modern manufacturers construct and build into their
plumbing systems two types of pipes - one that is designed
specifically for air, and the other designed specifically
for water. Where an out of date manufacturer or perhaps a
cheap import may use the same type of plumbing and piping
throughout the Spa in those circumstances, leaks may arise
over time. The better makers do not cut corners to build a
cheaper product - they build spas to last! That way there
products are recommended by end users and a strong loyalty
brand is formed.

As always it pays to buy a product from a long established
manufacturer one who has a reputation of dealing with
warranty issues should they arise? Watch out for the cheap
imports from the easy often labeled with American names but
their build quality is regretfully of a much lower standard
then their American counterparts.
