  • Inflatable Spas: Try it, You’ll Love It

    square-inflatable-spa-3_3

    Home spas are all the rage. They create the ambiance for the perfect personal retreat. There are just two things that can keep people from purchasing a spa: the ability to install one where they live, and cost considerations.

    This is where an inflatable spa provides affordable luxury.

    If you rent your home and therefore cannot “install” a structure like a spa, inflatable ones provide all the therapeutic relaxation you need, in the privacy of your own yard. You can set one up and quickly take it down to move with you.

    If you don’t have room in your yard, inflatable spas are ideal to use in your sun room or basement, wherever you wish to create a retreat experience. These are very easy to set up and simple to use. They are lightweight, and come in all shapes and sizes to accommodate up to four people and a couple hundred gallons of water.

    Inflatable spas are not to be confused with a child’s swimming pool – they are not a simple blow-up tub. You’ll enjoy all of the relaxation and health benefits you would derive from a traditional spa including:

    • Air bubble jets
    • Built-in Control Boxes with Touch Button Controls
    • Built-in heaters
    • Premium layered and laminated PVC for durability
    • Plug into a standard electrical outlet
    • Rated to be used outdoors or indoors

    If you’re on a budget and/or are unsure whether a spa itself is the right choice for you and your family, an inflatable one is a cost-effective solution that will give you the opportunity to try it out before committing to a more permanent relaxation solution.

    Actually, if you purchase an inflatable spa from a reputable company, you will get a good deal of use out of it for a long time, at a fraction of the cost of a deluxe spa.

     

     

  • Moving Your Hot Tub

    Maybe you're moving into a new home and you want to relocate your hot tub with the rest of your belongings. Maybe you need to move the hot tub so you can build a deck, or move it to a better spot. Maybe you want to remove it from your property completely. Whatever the reason, you might find yourself wanting/needing to move your hot tub, but how the heck do you do it? Moving your hot tub can be a daunting task!

    Short Answer: Don't.

    In a nutshell: hire a professional.

    Seriously. A hot tub is big, heavy, and expensive. It's possible to move it on your own, but the best idea really is to have a professional do the moving for you. They will have the equipment and the experience to relocate the tub quickly and safely. To find a professional, contact a professional moving company and make sure they have experience specifically with hot tubs. Or, contact a local hot tub retailer. Chances are they will either offer tub moving services or will be able to recommend a mover to you.

    But I Really Want to Do it Myself

    All right, you have your heart set on doing the move yourself. The first thing you are going to need is a bunch of friends, and they should be big, strong friends. You will also need several furniture dollies or splurge and rent a hot tub dolly. You'll also need a trailer or truck for transporting the tub. Once you have all the necessary equipment (including the friends!), you are ready to begin:

    1. Drain the tub completely and clean it out.
    2. Pack all the hot tub accessories securely and separately from the hot tub. Accessories include all the various cords and tubes, the heater, pumps, etc.
    3. Disconnect any sources of water, electricity or gas.
    4. With your helpers, very carefully stand the hot tub on its side.
    5. Slide 2x4s under one half of hot tub so you can slide the furniture dollies under each corner. The flat side of the dollies should be under the tub, not the wheel side.
    6. Firmly strap the tub to the dollies.
    7. Move the tub. If you are loading it into a truck and transporting it, be sure to firmly tie down the tub to the truck. Also make sure your helpers don't disappear--you'll need them to unload the tub!
