    When you purchase a new spa for your home, you don't necessarily get all the accessories you would want to supremely enjoy your investment. Sure, your new spa comes with heaters and pumps required to provide you with warm, relaxing water, but there are multiple accessories available for purchases that enhance the joy of spa ownership. The question is; which accessories are the must-have extras that you should purchase?

     

    Spa Cover Lifts

    Now that you've purchased a new spa and had it installed on your patio, deck, or in the backyard, you want to protect your investment from the elements. Whether or not you live in an extreme environment like the desert of the Upper Midwest, there are always natural elements you want to keep out of your spa. A good (and included) cover will keep rain water out, making it easier to control the temperature, and also keep out dirt, dust, and debris that can clog your filters and potentially damage the pump.

    However, do you want to lift the cover off on your own every time? Spa cover lifts are an affordable solution that make it easy to place and remove the cover on your spa. Some are motorized, while others use leverage to make it easy for you to lift and remove the cover manually.

     

    Hybrid Tables and Stools

    If your spa is the centerpiece of a greater outdoor patio area, you'll want some high-quality pub tables and stools to provide the finishing touches to your environment. Hybrid tables are available in long, rectangular forms, pub-table designs, and half-circle tables. Constructed using Envirotech materials, these tables will not crack, fade, or deteriorate, which makes them a perfect addition to your outdoor entertaining area. Stools made with Envirotech materials are also available to match each table mentioned.

     

    Spa-Mount Tables

    There's nothing better than enjoying a nice cold beverage while you're relaxing in your spa. Whether you want to stay hydrated with cold water, sip a cold beer, or entertain friends with margaritas, spa-mount tables are available to help everyone enjoy a drink with ease. As the name suggests, these tables can be mounted to the side of your spa to create storage space where you and your guests can set drinks without worrying about holding them, or spilling them, in the spa.

     

    Spa Steps

    How do you plan to get in and out of your spa? There are a myriad of spa steps available to make it easier for you and your guests to get in and out of your spa. Rather than using cheap ladders or boxes from around the house as a makeshift step, you can purchase attractive, sturdy spa steps to make getting in and out a breeze.

    Select from a single step constructed out of Envirotech materials, a two-step model made of Redwood for a classic look, or even a half-moon design two-tier step for a unique look. There are plenty of options. Your creativity is the only limit when it comes to adding to your spa with unique steps.

     

    With these four accessories, your spa can be more than just a hot tub in your backyard. These accessories add to the value of your hot tub and help create an enjoyable environment that is perfect for entertaining.

  • 5 Health Benefits of Using a Home Spa

    Spas

     
    You may think that installing a spa in your home is all about self-indulgence; a long soak in a steaming hot spa is one of the great pleasures in life. Even so, there is much more to a home spa than just soaking in the fun and indulging in the bubbles. Having a spa in your home and using it regularly can actually be good for your health!

    You may not be able to convince your doctor to write you a prescription for a home spa (let us know if you do!), but if you have been on the fence about getting one, these potential health benefits may give you the excuse you need.

     

    1. A Home Spa Can Provide Natural Pain Relief

    If you suffer from neck and back pain, you could take pain medications to get the relief you need. The problem with that approach is that even over-the-counter medications can have serious side effects, and regular use can make them less effective.

    When you invest in a home spa, you can enjoy natural pain relief any time you want. Just sink down into the relaxing warm water and let the jets do their magic. You will feel better, and your pain will soon be forgotten.

     

    2. A Home Spa Will Make Working Out More Comfortable

    A regular workout routine is a great way to get in shape and lose weight, but the pain that comes from sore muscles can be enough to deter even the most ardent gym rat. Those sore muscles can force you to skip the gym or even abandon your fitness plan altogether.

    A post-workout spa soak is the perfect way to soothe those aching muscles and prevent the cramping that can make exercise uncomfortable. The heat of a spa is perfect for relaxing and stretching your muscles, and that can make subsequent workouts more comfortable.

     

    3. A Home Spa Can Be Good for Your Heart

    Heart disease and stroke are serious problems in the modern world, and it is important to take care of your heart. Lowering your blood pressure is one of the most effective ways to prevent heart disease and stroke, and relaxing in a spa is the perfect way to reduce your blood pressure without prescription medications.

    There is nothing like relaxing in your home spa after a long and stressful day at work. Soon you will feel the cares of the day melting away in the warm water, and your heart will thank you for it.

     

    4. A Home Spa is a Great Way to Relax

    Regular relaxation is good for every aspect of your life. Staying relaxed will make it easier to get to sleep at night and wake refreshed, so why not enjoy a late-night soak in your home spa?

    Soaking in your spa is also good for your mood, reducing stress and helping you deal with a difficult day. Whether you enjoy your spa in the morning after your shower or after work, you will feel great and entirely relaxed.

     

    5. A Home Spa is Good for Your Skin

    If you need another reason so invest in a home spa, just take a look in the mirror. Regular spa use can make your skin look better and more toned, and the relaxation is good for your complexion as well.

    Instead of spending thousands of dollars on makeup and skin care products, just enjoy a relaxing soak in your home spa. Your skin will feel better - and so will you!
