Relaxing in the pleasantly warm water of a hot tub, combined with the cool surrounding air, is not just about that blissful feeling. It brings proven benefits for our bodies. The contrast between the warm water and the cool air strengthens the body’s overall resistance, and not just against autumn colds. The massage jets relax the muscles and joints, and also promote the production of ‘happiness hormones’ – endorphins. A hot tub is therefore the ideal tool for combating the gloomy moods we often face during autumn and winter.
Imagine sinking into the pleasantly warm water of your hot tub and letting the massage jets work their magic on your muscles. You’ll feel yourself relax, and a lovely sensation of warmth will spread throughout your body. Don’t miss out on these blissful moments by draining and winterising your hot tub! The colder months are, in fact, perfect for spa baths!
Winterising doesn’t suit hot tubs
Many people mistakenly believe that a hot tub needs to be drained and ‘winterised’ in the same way as, for example, a traditional swimming pool. In fact, the opposite is true – a spa is designed for efficient operation all year round. At USSPA, we design our hot tubs to provide you with maximum relaxation all year round, even during the cold winter months. A comprehensive insulation system, which works much like a thermos flask, keeps the water warm for longer, thereby significantly reducing the spa’s energy consumption. A key feature is the thermal cover, which not only protects the water from contamination but also prevents evaporation and heat loss. This means you can enjoy relaxing soaks even in winter, without worrying about high running costs.
Do not drain the hot tub
Hot tubs are designed to be kept filled with water at all times. Therefore, if for any reason you decide not to use your hot tub during the winter, you must not drain it. Draining the spa exposes it to the risk of damage, such as accelerated ageing of components, leaks or corrosion of metal parts. Furthermore, this may result in unnecessary service costs when the spa is put back into operation.
