If you’re on the fence about buying a hot tub, it can be easy to fall prey to misconceptions. The truth is, owning a Jacuzzi® is a life-changing experience for both your mind and body. We’ve busted 5 of the top myths about hot tubs, so you can rest easy in knowing you’ve made the best decision ever!
1. Myth: Cheap Hot Tubs Save You Money
A lower number on that hot tub at the big box store may seem like the most economical option when it comes to owning your very own spa. The truth is, higher quality hot tubs last longer, are more energy-efficient, and create a one-of-a-kind hydrotherapy experience. And, you can always apply for financing with Texas Hot Tub Company to ensure you bring home the perfect hot tub for your needs.
2. Myth: More Jets Mean Better Hydrotherapy
One of the biggest myths about hot tubs is that more jets mean a better massage. Actually, what you should look for is where the jets are installed and if they’re adjustable. Having ten jets blast water straight on your back is not nearly enjoyable as a system of jets strategically placed to target your neck, back, shoulders, and even your wrists or feet.
3. Myth: Your Hot Tub Needs a Powerful Pump
Just like the quantity of jets isn’t as important as the quality, the same goes for your pump. It can be uncomfortable to have high-powered water all the time. Instead, look for a hot tub with customizable settings to ensure that you get the pain relief you need, when you need it. And you also have a fun social setting as well.
4. Myth: A Hot Tub is Hard to Maintain
Of course, your hot tub will need some regular maintenance, but often only a few minutes a week for water testing and balancing is all it needs. Once every three to four months you’ll need to drain and refill your spa and then you’ll replace the filter about once a year. That’s it!
5. Myth: A Hot Tub is Expensive to Operate
When you have something connected to your power and water that runs almost all the time, it’s easy to fear it may rack up those utility bills. In reality, you may only see an increase of a few dollars a month — which is nothing compared to a $200 day at the spa day!
