Hot tub popularity is continuing to grow with numbers suggesting that roughly 1 in 10 homes now have a hot tub. This is not just about the health benefits, and while popularity is growing, not every hot tub owner is really maximising their hot tub experience. After all, hot tubs are there to be enjoyed, and so is your garden!
Yes, your hot tub has flashy lights and nice water features, but don’t let that be the only cool thing about your garden.
The hot tub experience doesn’t just stop when you hop in, use your favourite water feature and play the perfect Spotify soundtrack. Your hot tub experience could be much bigger and more immersive than that!
When you realise that your garden holds the key to transforming your hot tub experience, a whole world of possibility begins to open up. With that in mind, read on to learn how to create the perfect outdoor hot tub vibe.Â
Get good insulation
One of the most important things that you can do when it comes to keeping your hot tub running costs low is to get good insulation. There are a few good kinds of insulation out there, however, there are a lot of bad kinds too.
Getting good insulation will keep your costs low by keeping the heat in when you fill your hot tub with water. This means you don’t need to spend money constantly heating your water because it’s already hot. Instead, your insulation will do some of the work for you.
Two of the best hot tub ranges that we recommend for their insulation is the R10 range from Sunbeach Spas and the R18 range from Oasis Spas. Both of these have some of the best insulation in the industry.
The R10 offers you up to 60% energy savings and the R18 is the best insulation available on the market, offering you 6 layers of wall to wall insulation.
Only use your hot tub when you need it
One of the easiest ways to overspend on your hot tub bills is by having your hot tub running at full capacity when you aren’t using it. While this may sound straightforward, it is surprising how many people do this without realising it.
Â
Yes, hot tubs are designed to be kept on, because it’s more economical to conserve hot water than to refill it. Having said that, your hot tub does not need to be running at maximum power 24/7 and this will only eat up your money.Â
Â
So if you know you aren’t going to be using your hot tub for a while you can follow your hot tubs instruction guide and switch it to a lower, more economical setting to save yourself money.Â
Switch your hot tub to holiday mode
From parasols to steps leading up to your hot tub there are quite a few ways to use accessories to make your hot tub look great.Â
One great way is the Covana Gazebos. These function as a hot tub cover as well as a gazebo, and can come with decorated side panels.
Many accessories don’t have to cost a lot. Consider things like:Â
- Your decking
- Steps going up to your hot tubÂ
- Attachable trays and drink holdersÂ
- LightingÂ
- Parasols
- Colour themes
Â
There are more accessories you can add to make your hot tub vibe better but using these accessories is a good place to start.
