Hot Tub & Jacuzzi Safety
How does one ensure that the Hot Tub Jacuzzi that they purchase is a good buy, safe to use in all respects, guaranteed, and provides the massage and benefits that they expect and deserve.
A spa should not present any risk whatsoever, but this assumes some basic and simple requirements:-
Design – A Hot Tub needs to be properly designed so that it is energy efficient and provides a good enjoyable adjustable and flexible massage experience for the end user.
Manufactured – A Hot Tub needs to be properly constructed so that it will prove to be reliable.
Set Up – A Hot Tub needs to be properly set up and installed.
Maintenance – The water in a Hot Tub has to be maintained and checked regularly and of course the filters need to be cleaned and changed when appropriate.
If a hot tub is not complying with the above to the necessary standards then they can be dangerous perhaps even fatal.
There has been and there continues to be an influx of cheap, unbranded Hot Tubs usually from the east. Sometimes these are marketed under German or British brand names but this is, of course, a falsehood.
Naturally reputable dealers do not want to be responsible for repairing products that might put their clients at risk. These cheap spas have no parts common to other brands, and have in-house, factory-made control systems that are dangerous or impossible to repair due to lack of spares.
Sadly, unbranded badly-made spas have little or no re-sale value.
Internationally recognized manufacturers of hot tubs brands use efficient and well thought out systems that ensure that the water is circulated and filtered to a high standard. At the same time they simply provide their dealers with the required know how in order to be able to show their clients about safe water quality.
Responsible Hot Tub dealers and installers will include a chemical starter pack and will show you how to safely use it.
You hear of na?ve dealers who say that they supply “Chemical Free Hot Tubs”, believing that the ozone generated by the Hot Tub was all that was required to kill all bacteria so that no chemicals were required. Well we heard from one of the clients that he soon found out,from his skin rash, that chemicals were required.
A proper Ozone system is one that injects real ozone into a Hot Tub does a lot to reduce the need for chemicals but the bottom line is that there is no such thing as a chemical free hot tub.
As always, it is the best advice that. one should only buy a product that comes from an American or Western, internationally recognized, manufacturer of Hot Tubs. One that has been established for many decades.
Then there is every chance that the product will last and last and provide very many years of faultless service.
The reasoning is very simple the internationally recognized manufacturer will back his products with a real guarantee, so if there is a fault it does fall back on the manufacturer and not on the consumer.
The reason why they can provide these guarantees is that they have had many decades of experience and therefore they build their products with the proper quality parts and components so ensuring that is will not fail in the first place.
It is for that obvious reason and that reason alone that they are then prepared to provide a meaningful long life guarantee.
