If you're dreaming of a beautiful bathroom, why not plan your next California home project and replace that old bathtub with a hot tub. In addition to being relaxing and healthy, installing a hot tub is a good investment if you have plans to sell in the future.
Health benefits
Sitting in a hot tub is great, but hydrotherapy has many health benefits associated with it too:
- Pain relief for sore muscles.
- Relief from pain from arthritis and other joint problems.
- Increased blood flow.
- Relief from anxiety and stress.
- Reduces insomnia.
Types of hot tubs
Before buying your spa, you need to decide which type is best for your bathroom. Consider these options when making your choice:
- Water Jets - If you are looking for a therapeutic bath, you need a spa with water jets. The jets push the water out in circular motions and give you a deep, relaxing massage.
- Air jets: The air jets spray gently massage bubbles quieter than a water jet bathtub for a more relaxing bath.
- Combination bathtub: You can't decide whether you want water or air jets? When you buy a hot tub combo you get the best of both worlds and you can decide what type of bathroom environment you prefer.
- Self-heating - Although more expensive, a self-heating tub can be plugged into your home's electrical system to keep the water warm.
- Spa Styles: With so many styles available, choose the style that will suit your bathroom, such as: B. a modern freestanding bathtub. If you're limited on space in a small bathroom, a corner hot tub is a great option.

Tips on Buying a Spa
Use these buying tips when shopping for your hot tub:

- Make sure the tub isn't too deep or too shallow.
- Pay attention to special features such as chromotherapy bathtubs. These bathtubs have built-in lights for light therapy.
- How long does it take to fill up with water?
- Does it come with a guarantee?
- Visit more than one showroom and get prices from at least three retailers.
installation
In addition to the initial price of your hot tub, you also need to consider installation costs. The cost of hiring a professional to do the job can range from $ 170 to $ 430. An experienced contractor will have the equipment and skills to safely install your tub.
Maintenance of the hot tub
To keep your spa looking new and free of soap residue, you need to clean it regularly. Clean the surface of the bathtub and the nozzles with a mild bathroom cleaner.
To prevent the build-up of bacteria, dirt, fungus, and mildew, you must clean the jets and spa system at least once a month. You can buy a safe cleaning and disinfecting liquid from the manufacturer. Other cleaning options include using a mixture of baking soda and vinegar or a mild bleach solution.
