Hot tubs and home spas have exploded in popularity over the past decade, because they are more affordable and more reliable than ever before. Of course, not all home spas are built the same, so it is important to learn all you can about what constitutes a quality tub and how to select the features and amenities that are right for you.
The filtration and water purification systems in your hot tub will have a direct bearing on the time and effort you will spend balancing and maintaining the spa water. Small capacity filtration systems and bare-bones purification systems may cost less up front when you buy a hot tub, but they will usually end up costing you more in chemicals, filter replacement, and time. It is far better to invest in systems that are more robust and save yourself the extra money and time over the long term.�Hmmm, I�m not sure how we are going to solve this problem, but I do know that we have to wait until we get home. A moving vehicle is not a good place for arguing.� Mom shot her stern look at the two scowling children.Listen to the other person�s point of viewFiltration and Water Purification�Thanks,� said Mom, �and yes, I�ll let you get two scoops of ice cream.��Here.� Sarah pointed.�But it�s not fair! He has nine other meets you can both watch. I only have the one dance!�The Shell�That�s it!� Sarah jumped into the conversation excitedly. �Each of you could go to one of the events and then halfway through switch places.��No�, he said, �not at the same time, but one and then the other�.Pumps, Heaters and ControlsDiscuss Feelings�You mean a compromise�, said Mom following his thoughts.� Fountains and jets
� CD/stereos
� Multi-colored and multi-functional lighting
� Aromatherapy
� Dual controls
� Padded headrests and armrests
� Drink and cup holders
� Remote control and remote checking of temperature, water condition and pump status
� Shell colors and/or textures
� Power-assisted cover lifters�Hey everybody, the coach passed out the swim meet schedule today�, Shane was out of breath as he ran toward the car, his hair still wet from practice.Each child wants both parents at his or her special event. This is an example of conflict over limited resources.�Oh, no! Mom! Shane has a swim meet on the day of my recital. At the same time!�Traditionally, hot tubs and home spas used pneumatic controls to run pumps, heaters and the like. Electronic controls have gained some in popularity, but they have a spotty record of reliability and until the last few years have not been a popular choice. Technology improvements have made them much better, though, so don�t automatically dismiss electronic controls when shopping for your home spa.�Sounds like a good idea to me�, Dad smiled at his children. �You get equal amounts of Mom and Dad without cutting us into two. There is something you need to consider first,� he said more seriously, �each of us will miss part of each event. I might or might not get to see Shane beat Victor. Mom might or might not get to see Sarah�s perfect pirouette.��Perfect, that leaves me with Mom for the traditional after-meet ice cream,� Shane declared. �I�ll not only be the fastest swimmer, I�ll also be the guy with the prettiest mother.��Sarah, Shane feels just as strongly about this meet as you do about your recital,� Dad said. �You don�t have to understand why he feels that way, you just have to accept the fact that he does.��That is a problem, isn�t it?�
In addition to these extra amenities, spa dealers also promote and sell various decorative elements like matching steps, planters, bars and stools, gazebos, tables and chairs, etc. The choice of whether or not to invest in these extras is based solely on your personal preferences as well as your budget.
