Hot Tub and Spa Bells & Whistles - What Makes Them Unique

Everyone wants bells and whistles. Some make sense and actually enhance the hot tub experience.

Over the years, many new and exciting innovations have occurred in the spa industry. Probably more
notable are the advances in bells and whistles on a hot tub. Everything from waterfalls to advanced LCD
Televisions. Now we do not promote any one feature, however some can actually be put to good use.

The waterfall is probably the most overlooked feature on a hot tub now-a-days on a showroom floor due to
the many spa manufacturers that include them. It isn’t until the consumer gets the hot tub home until they
realize its importance to their overall therapy. The gentle and soothing feel of water gently flowing down their
necks. Relieving them of the daily stresses of life and their work-a-day schedule.

L.E.D. lighting is another feature almost lost in the midst of all the hot tubs that offer them these days. They
are a low cost feature that require almost no maintenance, yet allow the user to set a mood for the spa.
Whether it be perimeter lighting or the more romantic backlit water style. Everyone seems to agree that the
L.E.D. lighting is a must have feature.

Stereos are fast becoming a standard as well on many higher end hot tubs. We have even noticed the
emergence of the iPod spa stereo. This one little feature can resolve a lot of the failure in hot tubs due to wet
CD’s ruining the stereo. Yes, wet CD’s usually cause the stereo systems to fail.

Water features are fast becoming another large segment for hot tubs, from high to low end. Water fountains
spraying water to misters gently covering the tubbers.

Cover lifts are almost a must have on the 7 to 8 foot hot tubs. This makes
the chore of removing the spa cover a snap. They typically don’t cost
more than $150.00 to $250.00 but they are worth every penny if you hot
tub alone.

Gazebo’s are another nice touch if your spa is going to be placed out in the
open. This gives the users some protection from the elements and they look
nice too.
