Spa Accessories Every Hot Tub Owner Needs

Spa Side Umbrella
Hot tubs and outdoor spas offer an exciting way to relax and unwind at your own home. They are great for soothing stressed muscles and aching joints and will simply melt away stress. If you are already the proud owner of an at home hot tub, there are several accessories that are must haves to make your experience the most enjoyable one possible.

  • Create a beautiful shade on your hot tub time with a spa side umbrella. The base slides conveniently under your spa and hugs the sides, creating a seamlessly beautiful silhouette. The 9 foot hexagon umbrella is made of colorfast, fade resistant material that will last many years. A built-in crank allows you to open and close the umbrella with ease. You will love enjoying your spa any time of day with the shade of your umbrella creating comfort.
  • Spa and hot tub covers not only keep leaves and other debris out of your hot tub, they also help keep heat and chemicals in and offer safety to help prevent accidents. As heat is released into the air, your spa’s chemicals evaporate with it. This will lead to increased costs to operate your spa over time. Using a cover prevents this heat and chemical loss. They are easy to put on and remove. Walk on covers are strong enough to support an e ntire family (or up to three feet of snow) without collapsing! Available in many colors and sizes, you are sure to find exactly what you are looking for.
  • Having a safe way to enter and exit your spa or hot tub is essential. Deluxe Spa Steps are designed for this purpose! They are made from a rugged polymer that is lightweight, but very durable, supporting up to 300 pounds! The non-skid surface and 14″ height ensure easy access for everyone. The beautiful redwood color will add a touch of style to your spa. They are availa ble in 36 or 74 inch widths.

Spa Covers: Essential for Spa Maintenance and Safety

Relaxing in a spa or hot tub after a long day is one of life’s ultimate luxuries.  But, what do you do with your spa or hot tub when you’re not enjoying a toasty soak?  Do you keep it covered?  If not, here’s why you should.

  • Spa covers and hot tub covers prevent evaporation, saving you money on water and chemicals.
  • Spa covers also insulate the water and keep the heat in.  Keeping the water warm when the hot tub is not in use makes it faster and less expensive to heat the water before you use it again next time.
  • Spa covers keep debris and dirt out of your hot tub.  Cleaning your spa takes less time and effort if there is less to clean up.

Walk-on spa covers are recommended for households where children and curious pets live.  Standard spa covers, while they look perfectly sturdy, may not be able to support the weight of a child if he or she thinks the top of the hot tub would be a fun platform for playtime.  Children and pets can become injured or may drown if the spa cover collapses into the water below.  Walk-on spa covers can support not only the weight of a child, but the weight of an entire family.  They come equipped with a locking mechanism, too, so the cover cannot be lifted or moved from the spa.

Even if you don’t have kids or pets, a walk-on spa cover is a good choice if you live in a snowy area.  Accumulated snow is quite heavy, and if not cleared off of standard spa covers regularly, those covers can become damaged.  Walk-on spa covers can easily handle the weight of many feet of accumulated snow.

Whether you choose a standard spa cover or a walk-on spa cover depends entirely on your situation, but covering your spa or hot tub is an essential step in properly maintaining it.
