Portable Hot Tub, Swimming Spas In UK

When you enter your spa you will enter a world of soothing relaxation that will help relieve the stress and tension of the fast paced world we all live in. Step into a world of soothing comfort where quality family time can take place in a distraction free environment. Experience the health benefits as your body rejuvenates and heals itself while immersed in a soothing swirling mass of hot water.

Thousands of Britons every year are joining the growing number of home spa owners as more and more people realise that the climate of Great Brittan is perfect for spa usage. After all If we lived in a tropical paradise who the heck would want to be up to their neck in hot water? Talk to anyone who owns a spa and they will tell you that once you own a spa you will never go without one again. Unlike many products today there are few purchases that will have as profound a change on your life as your spa will. Whether you require therapy massage, pain relief, stress relief, or just great family and social time a spa will allow you to create your own private Oasis right in your garden.

There are a number of things to consider when purchasing your spa. The first and most important is what do you want out of your spa? Many people simply want to soak away their stress and relax in the hot water. Or perhaps you want a focal point for social events or romantic evenings. For these people many of your entry level units are perfect. Typically these have few jets 10-20 and a small pump of around 2-4 Hp.

If however you are looking for therapy quality massage you need something with 30-50 jets and multiple pumps. Look for horsepower ratings of at least 6-12 on these systems. Lots of jets may look great but unless the Horsepower is there to move the water they will not be very effective. To cloud the issue sometimes dealers will quote the pumps in Kw or Watts. On line conversion web sites can quickly clear this issue up by converting Kw to horsepower.

Another system that is offered is air blowers or air pumps. Some manufacturers recommend them and some swear you don't want them. The real reason for this debate actually has less to do with its value as a feature and more to do with the fact that unless the manufacturer has years of experience doing air systems they can be very problematic and cause service issues which ultimately cost the manufacturer money. These systems are typically used for soft tissue massage or skin therapy and they work very well. A good system will inject millions of heated bubbles into the spa and this will help exfoliate your skin, also the heated air and agitation of the skin causes the blood vessels to dilate helping to flush toxins from the epidural layer. Some manufacturers also put aromatherapy injectors on the air blower to allow the customer to add aromatherapy essential oils and scents to the air without contaminating the water. Some Manufacturers even have super chargers that allow you to divert the heated air into the water jets to change the feel of the jets and increase the massage pressure. If you do choose to go with this option make sure of at least two things. First that the blower has an actual heater element in it to heat the air prior to injecting it into the spa this will prevent the water from being cooled down quickly. Also ensure the blower has an automatic purge system to blow the lines clear when the spa is not in use.

Deciding to purchase a spa can be a very daunting task. It is difficult to sort the issues from the gimmicks. The following are a couple of things that will make a real difference in your spa.

Shell construction

When discussing shell constructions there are three materials that matter. There is a lot of talk about bonding resins and barrier layers but in truth the main elements are the Surface the core and the structure. The industry standard is to use an acrylic material and vacuum form it into a shell then a layer of fibreglass is added to add structure.

The next type of shells are made from plastics ranging from ABS and other types of plastics using various trade names. The surface warranty on these shells is usually higher between 5-7 years but they can sometimes yellow and the structure may not be as good. Check for flexing while standing on lounger and chairs. While these shells are touted as superior they are about the same cost and realistically the same quality, they have simply improved one area of the shell at the sacrifice of another.

There are a few companies that use a combination of all of the above shells. Typically these are using an acrylic surface, plastic or vinyl core, and a fibreglass backing. While expensive they typically carry warranties of up to 25 years.

 

Shell Surfaces

There are many surface materials and styles available for your spa. Almost all spas use acrylic as it is an excellent surface material that lasts for years. Some companies use only a plastic surface to save on the cost of the extra acrylic layer but discoloration and difficulty in cleaning have led to almost all manufacturers using acrylic, its proven performance guarantees a durable, reliable product.

Look for a deep spa with multiple level seating. Depth is paramount to ensure you are seated comfortably while still fully submerged a good depth is above 90 cm.

Almost ever spa has ozone purification systems. Claims abound about chemical free systems and better and worse methods of producing ozone. In short all the systems work fairly well and the costs are similar with Ultra violet being the bottom of the pile and Plasma cell being the top for ozone technology. Some spas simply inject the ozone into the spa while slightly more expensive and efficient systems use mazi injection into absorption tanks or absorption lines to get longer contact time. The bottom line is if it has ozone it will reduce chemical usage and according to all professional governing bodies for spas and hot tubs no one should offer these systems as replacement for halogen type oxidisers (chlorine/Bromine) Despite what a sales man might tell you with even the most expensive well designed ozone system, health and safety and every other industry governing body recommends small amounts of chlorine to assist the ozone system.

Antoher important thing to look for is insulation. Generally speaking the more insulation the better heat retention. While the motors do produce heat of about 40-50C they only run for about 8 hours a day and transfer of heat from the motors to the water is marginal at best. Some spas will have partial foam or very little foam under the shell. The claim is that the heat from the motors will help heat the shell. Some spas fill the entire cavity with foam to retain heat more efficiently. Both systems have pros and cons and while a full foam spa costs more to manufacture they are only slightly more efficient. The one exception and more expensive system will have fully foamed in spas with heat extractors that collect the heat from the pumps and inject it directly into the water. This is the best of both systems but expensive.

Other than that? Look for accreditation like ISO 9001 2000 to ensure quality compliance, and membership in the world's largest governing body for spas which is the association of pool and spa professionals.

Finally and most importantly look for a manufacturer with a proven track record, established presence of 10 years or more, and a manufacturer warehouse and office in the country. The majority of spa companies in the UK and Europe are importers. If the importer or distributor changes lines, or goes out of business you may be stuck dealing with North America for parts, and having no warrantee. If you buy from a dealer that is selling a spa line that has a manufacturers warehouse and head office in the country and you have any issues with the local dealer you have the safety of falling back on the manufacturer for parts, and warrantee.

OZONE $209 Oxygen-Ozone therapy is a complementary approach less known than homeopathy and acupuncture because it has come of age only three decades ago. This book clarifies that, in the often nebulous field of natural medicine, the biological bases of ozone therapy are totally in line with classical biochemistry, physiological and pharmacological knowledge. Ozone is an oxidizing molecule, a sort of super active oxygen, which, by reacting with blood components generates a number of chemical messengers responsible for activating crucial biological functions such as oxygen delivery, immune activation, release of hormones and induction of antioxidant enzymes, which is an exceptional property for correcting the chronic oxidative stress present in atherosclerosis, diabetes and cancer. Moreover, by inducing nitric oxide synthase, ozone therapy may mobilize endogenous stem cells, which will promote regeneration of ischemic tissues. The description of these phenomena offers the first comprehensive picture for understanding how ozone works and why. When properly used as a real drug within therapeutic range, ozone therapy does not only does not procure adverse effects but yields a feeling of wellness. Half the book describes the value of ozone treatment in several diseases, particularly cutanious infection and vascular diseases where ozone really behaves as a 'wonder drug'. The book has been written for clinical researchers, physicians and ozone therapists, but also for the layman or the patient interested in this therapy.
