Add Soothing Relaxation to Your Home
October 14, 2009
An inflatable hot tub is one way that you can enjoy the luxury of a hot tub or spa without having to worry about the cost and problems of installation of the unit. Because you can purchase an inflatable hot tub for a few hundred dollars for a starting model, you can also enjoy this luxury for a lot less than you would spend for a permanent spa. If you like the idea of relaxing in a hot tub but do not have the money or the inclination to install a hot tub on your property or in your home, you may want to consider an inflatable hot tub.
Fortunately, there’s something you can do about this. The same laser welding technology that makes for high durability inflatable mattresses can also make for an inflatable hot tub. You’re probably reading this and going “Whoa. No way…” Yes, it’s true. You can make a hot tub that inflates, and deflates, meaning that you can put it back in your basement in the winter time, or take it with you to your new apartment or rental home. Some are ruggedized to the point where you can take them camping! Imagine taking a traditional hot tub with you camping and you’ll see the appeal.
What are they like to use? Well, they’re not quite identical to a full on hot tub. The benches are a bit softer, and it’s the water that lends them some solidity, not the frame. You do have to be careful about doing things that might puncture them. When they deflate, they fold down into something about the size of a life raft, and they’re probably closest to a life raft in construction, if you’re not familiar with them.
Keeping an inflatable hot tub clean is mostly a matter of running the filter properly. The filter will purify the water and keep things flowing so bacterial cultures won’t rise up and make a mess.
Several sizes of inflatable hot tubes are available, ranging from small two person spas to larger ones capable of holding eight adults. Like anything you get for your home, there’s a range of styles, though that range can be constrained by the need to make everything inflatable. You can also buy accessories for your inflatable hot tub.
Getting your tub ready to go usually means inflating it. Trust us on this, an electric pump is worth the extra $30 it costs, since it’ll cut an hour or more of time needed to set the tub up in the first place. Many of the models on the market have an integrated electrical pump in them, especially those made by Whirlpool or Jacuzzi.
The inflatable hot tub can offer you all of the advantages of a permanent hot tub without the cost and inconvenience of installation. You can purchase an inflatable hot tub for a lot less than you would pay for a permanent hot tub and take it with you anywhere you like.
