The Basics On Above-Ground Acrylic Hot Tubs
Most people dream of having a warm soothing hot tub to come home to after a long day at work. The typical above-ground acrylic hot tubs that most are seeking are growing in popularity and even increase the value of a home when they're kept up properly. Granted, they're billed as being portable, but unlike the inflatable spa, it takes special equipment to move and a great deal more effort.
When finding a spot for your above-ground acrylic hot tubs, make sure you have a permanent flat firm spot. A concrete pad is perfect to insure the correct installation. Check and see if your spa will require a 220 outlet instead of the traditional 110 used by most other products like inflatables or smaller portable tubs.
When considering your potential purchase, note that there are basically two different types of hot tubs to choose from. Of course, there's the above-ground acrylic hot tubs and there's also the OAS or olefin acrylontrile-styrene shell that is afixed to a foam or fiberglass undertub. Know that the acrylic spa is going to be more expensive, but it's also going to have a better look, a brighter appearance than those with the OAS shells.
One of the convenient features of above-ground acrylic hot tubs is that they have all incluseive spa componets built right into the spa, including the filtration and heater systems. They then put wood or a synthetic cabinet around the systems for protection and for added good looks. Depending on what you're looking for, these tubs can come in a small two-person cozy unit or a whopping 10 person model that will have many different seating options. The sky's the limit when it comes to the various accessories. You can impress the neighborhood with the colored lighting, audio and visual systems that are built into the tub and even swim up refrigerated bars. Now what is more important to the purist tub owner is the jets. They are varied in the number and the types. There's the massaging jets, jets in the inflated pillows or whirlpool jets. Jets are located in varying places and some can be adjusted to aim at sore spots that need the extra pressure. When going to buy your above-ground acrylic hot tubs, choose a reputable dealer who will allow you to do a wet test. This is truly the only way to test out a potential spa for your home. While doing your wet test, note the loudness of the motor, how easy it is to get in and out of and how easy it is to reach the controls from the inside of the tub. Check the dealer out with the Better Business Bureau before investing your money and ask friends for personal recommendations.
