Hot Tubs Bring Well-Being to Backyard

Native Americans, South Americans, Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Turks and Japanese cultures all embraced geothermal springs long before modern technology found a way to recreate what nature gave to man:  The gift of warm water.

For centuries, people have been drawn to immerse their bodies and partake in the benefits of a restorative soak.  These days, you don’t have to venture to a public bath or remote hot spring in the hills.  The solution can be found in your own backyard.

Self-contained hot tubs have come a long way since the 1970s when the Jacuzzi family first introduced them to the world.  Today’s models are built for healthy living, convenience, comfort, performance and fun.

Healthy Living
For those with tired muscles or joint aches, hot tubs bring relief.  Soaking in hot water with invigorating jets for 20 to 30 minutes per day can trigger the release of endorphins which are known to help strengthen the immune system, block pain and minimize inflammation.  Soaking can also reduce stress, improve sleep and make joints more flexible increasing range of motion. 

Convenience
Modern hot tubs come equipped with time-saving technologies such as ozonators and comprehensive 24-hour filtration systems that dramatically cut down on maintenance.  “We often see hot tub shoppers in our showroom with the misconception that it will be complicated or labor intensive to care for the product.  But, current owners consistently report that their hot tubs require minimal time to maintain,” says Drew of Vintage Hot Tubs' Sundance Spa Sore in Victoria BC.  “At the end of the day, there is nothing more inviting than a warm, crystal clear hot tub that is ready to be used whenever you want it.”

Comfort
The best factory-built hot tubs are made from highly-durable acrylic shells backed by two additional layers of heavy-duty resins designed to provide strength and rigidity.  The result is a smooth, contoured tub capable of supporting a variety of seating types that are sculpted to the human form for ergonomic comfort. 

Performance
Hydrotherapy jets tell the rest of the story.  The difference between a mere soak and a refreshing hydromassage to escape from the day’s stress can be found in strategically-placed jets.  Hot tubs equipped with jets that deliver a 50/50 mix of air and water (like the patented Jacuzzi Power Pro Jet) will provide a high flow / low pressure massage, commonly recognized as the most comfortable experience.  It's like a relaxing "wall of water", comments Dean Christy at Vintage Hot Tubs Jacuzzi Store in Langford (on the West Shore of Greater Victoria)

Fun
Hot tubs bring fun to young and old alike because they provide the perfect place to sit, socialize and connect with others.  Families (and especially parents with their teens), relatives, friends and neighbors love to casually gather around and relax in an atmosphere where conversation flows.  "Hot tubs are prefect for entertaining year round,” adds Drew.
