Given the unpredictability of the British weather, you may be surprised to hear that the popularity of Hot Tubs has soared in recent years.
More people than ever before are choosing to have a hot tub spa installed in their garden as the benefits of year round use have become clear.
Here at Bubble Box, we are proud to provide Hot Tubs For Sale In Scotland to customers with industry leading bespoke Aquavia hot tub spas, and we have noticed a steady increase in demand over the past few years.
There are a number of key factors which have led to this increase in popularity:
Year Round Usage
In the past, some people have been put off buying a hot tub as they believed that it could only be used for a small amount of the year.
This is far from the case, however, and hot tubs are an ideal way to make the most of your outdoor space all year long.
In the winter months, when your outdoor space previously went almost unused for several months a hot tub is a great way to get some fresh air and enjoy the fabulous contrast between the warm water on your body and the cold air on your face.
By installing a gazebo or parasol by your tub you can listen to the sound of raindrops falling around you whilst relaxing under cover in a wonderfully heated tub.
Health benefits
One of the biggest contributors to an increase in hot tub popularity is heightened awareness about the health benefits of taking a soak.
Some of the health benefits offered by a hot tub include:
- Improved Motion – The warm water of a hot tub creates hydrostatic pressure that helps to relieve joint inflammation, improve mobility, and offers temporary relief from symptoms of arthritis.
- Muscle Relief – The massaging jets of a hot tub help to relax your muscles and ease aching after a workout or a long day at work.
- Promoting good sleep – Sleep is an often underrated and essential part of a healthy lifestyle and a quick dip in a hot tub will help you to destress and relax before bed, preparing your body for a great night’s sleep.
Now that hot tubs are no longer seen as a luxury only item but have tangible proven health and muscle recovery benefits, more people than ever are seeing the value in having one installed in their home.
Quieter
Another concern that may have previously deterred people from purchasing a hot tub, especially those living in high population areas, is that the noise that the pumps and jets would make may disturb neighbours.
Most modern hot tubs are completely silent, however, meaning that this is no longer an issue, meaning you can relax and enjoy a soak without worrying about bothering anyone nearby.
Less Maintenance
Keeping a hot tub clean and operational all year round has never been easier.
All our Aquavia spas come equipped with smart clean water technology and optional ultraviolet cleaning to reduce the need for chemicals such as chlorine and make manual water cleaning a thing of the past.
Social Hub
Gardens are no longer somewhere to simply let the dog out and plant a few pretty flowers, and many of us are now using these valuable outdoor spaces as places to entertain and relax with friends and family.
A garden is a luxury and should be an extension of your living space all year round, and a hot tub is a fabulous addition to help make this a reality.
When hosting a party, barbeque, or simply having a few friends round to your home, hot tubs become a social hub, and everyone you know will be keen to pop round for a dip.
Aquavia spas are particularly impressive in this regard with optional features including colour sense lighting and Bluetooth speakers.
When you choose a hot tub model with a Bluetooth surround system included you will be able to connect your mobile device to the system, comprised of two top quality speakers and a subwoofer, and select the perfect music for the occasion.
Energy Efficiency
Another reason people may once have decided against buying a hot tub is that traditional models could be quite high in energy consumption and expensive to run.
Modern tubs, however, are incredibly well insulated and retain heat much better than was once possible.
Some Aquavia Spas, for example, come equipped with an Energy Saving Cover that includes double insulation to prevent temperature loss and water evaporation.
At 130mm in thickness, combining this cover with the Ecospa option allows owners to save as much as 67% in power consumption in comparison to a standard spa.
These technological advancements have made hot tubs a much more affordable option for the home and the rise in sales is testimony to this fact.
