Your hot tub is a place in which you can relax, enjoy health-related benefits such as improved quality of sleep, and spend quality with your family and friends. While even a simple spa can provide temporary relief from pain, reduce stress, and please owners, useful outdoor hot tub accessories can enhance your overall spa experience.
Here’s a guide to the most common functional, entertainment, and cooling accessories that allow you to experience your spa in new ways.
FUNCTIONAL HOT TUB ACCESSORIES
Sometimes, simple things count in big ways. While numerous accessories are available to help you make the most of your hot tub, functional accessories work specifically to make it easier to use your spa. For instance, cover lifters make it easier to remove and replace your cover, while remote monitoring allows you to control your hot tub from afar.
Cover Lifters. Hot tub covers are heavy, bulky, and can get damaged if left to sit on the ground each time you use your hot tub. Cover lifters ease these concerns, allowing hot tub owners to remove and replace their covers very easily, and keep covers off the ground. While it might be tempting to choose a generic cover lifter, remember that you’ll use this important accessory each time you use your hot tub. A well-built, durable cover lifter designed specifically for your spa is the smarter choice.
Steps. Hot tubs can stand 3’ tall or higher, which might pose a problem for people with limited mobility. Hot tub steps can make entering and exiting your spa easier. Quality steps are water-resistant, slip-resistant, and constructed to survive exposure to the elements over the years. A variety of steps are available, including those that match your spa cabinet or look like natural stone.
Handrail. A handrail (or two) can assist those who have trouble getting into and out of a hot tub, including children. The handrail base plate slips under the spa cabinet for stability, and the rail swings for even easier spa entry and exit.
Pillows. Specially designed spa pillows attach to headrests in your spa’s shell to comfortably cradle your head and neck. Waterproof and perfectly sized, a spa pillow will only add to your hot tub bliss.
ENTERTAINMENT ACCESSORIES
While many spas come with a standard entertainment system, that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement. Entertainment accessories help you get the absolute most from your spa audio and visual experiences. Here’s a look at the popular options:
Bluetooth Connectivity. When you order a music-ready spa, you can enhance it with Bluetooth technology, which allows you to wirelessly connect your home devices to your spa. You can stream music, podcasts, and audiobooks, and control the volume and track choice from your spa’s control panel. For a more customized experience, you can also pair your own speakers to the system.
