HOW DO I CARE FOR A HOT TUB?
Most hot tubs should have their water tested once a week to ensure that the pH and chlorine levels are balanced. If the test reveals that the water is not balanced, add chemicals to treat the water. During this time, you should also rinse the filter and inspect the spa system for any damage or issues, including the cover and steps.

WHAT IS HYDROTHERAPY?
The health benefits of regular hydrotherapy sessions can include:
• Fewer aches and pains
• Better sleep patterns
• Eased muscle tension
• Reduced feelings of stress
• Soothed joint pain
• Improved symptoms of arthritis
Hydrotherapy can also be useful for those recovering from a muscle or joint injury. If you’re considering using hydrotherapy throughout your recovery, speak with your physician first.
HOW MUCH DO HOT TUBS COST?
• Brand
• Model
• Age
• Location
• Features
• Size
• Capacity
• Materials
Generally, hot tubs with a higher price point will offer a better quality, while those with a lower price point often offer a lower quality. While it may seem like a smart move to opt for a spa with a lower price point at first to save on costs, this can actually end up costing you more in the long run due to costly maintenance, care and repairs. Not to mention that the experience tends to be lesser as well, due to outdated, weak or missing features.
