Hot Tubs and Spas - Such Enjoyment!
By William Dittman

Isn't it nice when after a hard days work at the office you go straight to a spa and have a dip into a nice relaxing hot tub?

The body's first reaction to being immersed in hot water is to try to get back to its normal temperature by pumping the heart faster causing a temporary increase in blood pressure. The warm water helps ease aches and pains, while loosening joints and making them easier to move and keep mobile. Heated water provided a soothing oasis for the ancients.

Joints and bones are pounded with the water heat to relieve tension and stress throughout the body and increase circulation to all parts. Setting aside technological differences, some of the earliest spa enthusiasts appreciated the health benefits of using hot water to relax the body, open the pores of the skin, and generally promote better health.

However, it's true that no matter where people live, the promise of soothing jets on tired and achy muscles is usually a selling point (how not. Sore muscles can finally relax as the water jets massage aches and pains away. If you want to avoid having to scrunch down to have the jets reach your back, you will want to look for a tub with plenty of jets and a more powerful motor.

But, before deciding on buying a hot tub, you will need to choose one of the many varieties of spa that are available. Better than a pool because in most areas the spa season is 9 months long. Unlike a pool, a spa usually holds 300-500 gallons of water.

Spas and hot tubs have completely self-contained plumbing, so there is no messy setup involving outside water pipes. A major advantage of portable hot tubs is that they do not need to be connected to any external water source. The hot water and jets works on my body and relaxes me.
