Hot Tubs Beaver Creek 937-848-3366 Portable Spas

Spring has sprung and summer is right around the corner. This is the time where many folks start thinking about home improvements and makeovers.  We’ve compiled a few ideas that will enhance your backyard and possibly your quality of life too!

Our favorite affordable home improvement is one that brings the entire family together for fun, relaxation, conversation, plus mental and physical therapy.  It can be set up in a matter of hours, and doesn’t require any hard manual labor on your part. That’s right, all you have to do is:

• Set it in place
• Fill it up with a garden hose, and
• Plug it into the closest outlet

What are we talking about here?  Portable hot tubs!!!  An above ground hot tub can drastically improve the usability of your backyard and instantly increase the hang out potential of your space. Plus hot tubbing is also really good for your health, so that’s an added bonus!

To artfully incorporate a portable hot tub into your existing backyard, simply surround it with a few potted plants and maybe a bamboo screen for privacy if you have nosy neighbors. By pulling up a few out door chairs, and maybe a portable fire pit for the evenings, you’ve now got an amazing retreat right in your own backyard. And if you have a nearby fence, you can install a few hooks for suits and towels.

But probably the greatest part about these portable hot tubs is their price.  Depending on what’s available from your local hot tub shop, you can get one starting at just $49* per month! Crazy, huh? If you want to check out specific pricing, click here.

Other fun ideas to quickly spruce up your backyard:

Serenity gardens have become a very popular home trend the past few years. Having a place to sit and relax and enjoy the great outdoors is a great solution to the fast paced high stress world we live in today.  It is important to have a place to break away, read a book, enjoy a beverage or just share your thoughts and dreams with loved ones.  Consider fragrant flowers or climbing vines and comfortable seating to make the area a pleasure to visit.  Combining elements such as a water feature, rocks, wood, flowers and greenery will add visual interest to the area.

Organic fruits and veggies are also a very popular and emerging trend.  Have you considered growing your own food?  It is very rewarding and satisfying to be able to pick from your own garden and prepare fresh, organic food for your family and friends.  While the idea sounds daunting to some, it is actually quite easy if your plan properly.  A quick online search will provide everything you need to get started, from constructing raised beds with organic soil to installing a water wise drip irrigation system.  If pests are a concern, there are many natural and inexpensive ways to ward off critters and enjoy the “fruits” of your labor (pun intended).  So get out there and give it a try.

If portable hot tubbing still sounds a lot easier, and more fun than some of your other options, give us a call or click below and we’ll send you a price to get you started on the portable hot tub of your dreams!

Thinking about getting a hot tub, but not sure where to put it?  There are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind when choosing the perfect place for your hot tub that will enhance your enjoyment.

If you live in an area that’s gets snow, or other bad weather, we highly suggest placing your hot tub RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR. If you put your hot tub on the other side of the yard where the view is great, but have to walk across 30 feet of ice and snow just to get there, you probably won’t end up using your hot tub as much as you could if it was placed right outside the back door, kitchen door, garage door, etc.

If you live in an area where weather is not a concern, then consider the following factors when placing your new spa:

Usage  – Will you be using your hot tub for socialization and mingling with friends or is it intended to be more of a solitary place to relax and enjoy the hydrotherapy benefits?

Socialization  – If entertaining is more your thing, look for an open area to place your spa. This will allow people in the spa to converse with those outside the hot tub and will allow the spa to be part of the party.

Relaxation –  If hydrotherapy or quiet relaxation is your goal, then consider finding a private or secluded part of the yard. If no such space exists, consider putting a few tall potted plants around your spa or erecting a privacy screen.

Access to Service Compartment –  Considering building your spa into a deck or placing it up against a wall? Remember to rotate the spa so the service compartment door faces out. This will save you time and hassle should you ever need to get into the service compartment.

Path of the Sun  – You may find that you really enjoying hot tubbing during the mornings or afternoons. In order to be comfortable during all times of the day, consider the path of the sun and the spa’s orientation. You may be able to rotate or move the spa a bit to make sure the sun isn’t in your eyes, or beating down on you.

Hop-in-ability  – This is an extremely technical hot tub term we use within the industry. Bare with me while I try to explain it in layman\’s terms.  Hop-in-ability refers to the level at which one is able to easily get into their hot tub.  Regardless of weather, backyard landscaping or the prying eyes of neighbors, hop-in-ability is super duper important when it comes to actually using your spa. If your spa is easy to get into, you will use and enjoy it more than if it becomes a chore to get to every time you want to use it. So consider placing it if not directly outside a door, then relatively close to the house with a clear pathway from your door to the spa.

And Don’t Forget…

Always put your spa on a structurally sound, level (within ½” per 10\’) surface. A filled spa can weigh a great deal. Make certain that the location you choose can support the weight of your filled spa.
Locate your equipment compartment, which houses all of the electrical components, in a place where water will drain away from it. Allowing water into the equipment compartment can damage the electronics, or may result in tripping your house’s circuit breaker.

Leave yourself easy access to the circuit breakers in the subpanel (230 volt converted models), or to the GFCI on the end of the power cord (110 volt models).
Never let water get into the subpanel (230 volt converted models), or into the GFCI (110 volt models), or into the electrical outlet that your spa is plugged into.

Leave access to the equipment compartment for periodic spa care and maintenance.
