Portable Hot Tub Spas And Their Accessories

While standard hot tubs have been around for many years, they have several disadvantages when it comes to size, weight and moving options. That is why many people are looking into portable hot tub spas lately and of course because it will be easier for them to get that hour of hydrotherapy anywhere. However, before going out and buying one, there are several things you should know about them to be sure you are making the right choice. As their name suggests, portable hot tub spas have the advantage of being able to carry them around and to easily take them off and install them in another location and they come with a variety of accessories that come in handy and are easy to carry around. You can easily move them from one place to another and if you are constantly on the move, a portable hot tub spa may be the right choice for you. When you are selling your house, you can very well pack it up and take it with you wherever you will move next, especially if you have invested a significant amount of money in it and you do not want to sell it together with the house.

However, things are no that simple when it comes to portable hot tub spas. Just like with any portable thing, chances are that it will not be as robust and strong as a fixed, solid hot tub. Indeed, when you are buying a fixed tub you need to carefully consider the place where it will be located, the amount of space it will take up and the effort of taking it apart afterwards. When buying a portable hot tub spa things are easier in this regard, as you can move it from one corner to another of your property. If the weather gets worse, you can simply take it apart and store it in a secure place until the meteorological conditions are favorable to set it up again. In this way you can avoid many of the problems related to cleaning it after an unexpected storm or after you have been away for a longer period of time. Dirt and residue (such as leaves, dust and other external factors) are the worst enemies of any hot tub, as they can easily enter the pump and damage it. Properly maintaining your hot tub is vital if you want it to function properly for many years. In addition, portable hot tub spas have a significant advantage when it comes to protecting it against bad weather, as you can simply put it away whenever you consider it necessary.

Therefore, when it comes to maintaining and moving around, a portable hot tub spa may sound like a very good idea. However, there are also downsides to owning one. Firstly, a portable hot tub spa will never be as sturdy and solid as a fixed one, no matter which manufacturer you choose. Solid hot tubs are usually made of plastic or fiber and they are very resistant when it comes to hits and other impacts. You have to be very careful with your portable hot tub spa if you want it to last for many years. Yes, you can move it around, but you must be extra careful when installing it and when putting it away to keep it away from any direct hits. Their weight can also be a problem, but this is the case of very large portable hot tub spas. Most portable ones weigh less than 300 lbs, making it easy for you to carry it around and to install it as often as you want.
