Advice On The Best Spas And Hot Tubs

There's nothing like coming home from work and jumping into the hot tub or spa to relax. I don't know whether it's the massaging action of the water, or simply being in water itself, but this is one serious way to leave a difficult day at work behind. So, which are the best spas and hot tubs to install in your home?

The answer to that question partly depends on why you want a hot tub in the first place. If your primary aim is to unwind and relax, most hot tubs will do the trick. But if you also want to treat your aching muscles, you'll want to pay special attention to the jets, and where they are placed within the spas and hot tubs.

For example, there are jets that are designed to give you a massage over a broad area. Known appropriately as swirl jets, they create circular flows of water. This contrasts with laser jets, which are much smaller, and more powerful. They provide a very intense massage experience, and when they are placed properly, target individual joints.

There are many other jets that provide a therapeutic spa and hot tub experience. Therapy jets are easily controlled, and create quite a powerful stream of water to ease tired muscles. Whirlpool jets are more suited to those with particular therapeutic needs, however. They are much more powerful than therapy jets - 6 times actually. And 12 times stronger than laser jets!

You can also get what is called a pulsating jet, which is designed as a general tonic for tired muscles. These are the same size as the laser jet, but have a kneading action on the muscles.

If you have sore shoulders and an aching neck, you'll want a spa or hot tub with shoulder jets. These are angled in such a way as to direct a strong stream of water up towards your neck and shoulders, and they're placed above the water line. Finally, for the most relaxing experience, you could have pillow jets, which are simply shoulder jets with a good support as you lie back. The water pressure in these is generally adjustable.

Sundance Spas

But if you're truly looking for the best spas and hot tubs, you should take a look at the offerings from the Sundance Company. Sundance make top of the line hot tubs that are appreciated by owners all over the globe. With one of these spas you can turn your backyard into an oasis anytime you need it.

Hot tubs have lots of benefits for the mind and body. For example, they are ideal for anyone who wants to soothe over-tired muscles, or ease the pain of arthritis. If you're stressed out, there's nothing more relaxing than an outdoor soak in your very own hot tub.

The tubs made by Sundance are ISO certified which means they are tested and approved for quality. Sundance is the top manufacturer of acrylic portable hot tubs which is definitely a selling point for many shoppers. The hard decision isn't choosing this brand, but choosing which one of their incredible spas you like the best. They make a wide range of different tubs for various needs. Their product line includes the 880 series, the 780 series and the 680 series. Each of these collections has its own appeal.

In the 680 collection you will find choices like the Hartford. This tub seats up to 7 adults and features 42 jets and a beverage holder. That's not a bad option of an evening! The 780 collection offers tubs like the Hamilton, which seats up to 6 adults and features 41 jets. Other features of this tub include the color changing LED lights and full body lounge for incredible comfort. In the 880 range you will find the largest number of choices. There are 10 different tubs in this range from small to large. The smallest tubs seat 2 while the largest seat up to 6. As you can see there is truly something for all spa seekers.

When looking for the best spas and hot tubs, a good first place to start is your local Sundance retailer. Most pool and spa companies sell this line of tubs, and have knowledgeable staff who can help you narrow down your choice. The staff can not only help you choose the right tub for your needs, but will also set it up and provide advice on maintaining it. Whilst hot tubs require periodic maintenance, most owners are more than able to take care of it themselves. If you want, you can arrange for a technician to come and maintain your Sundance spa for a reasonable price.
