4 people in a hot tub SET UP THE PERFECT HOT TUBBING EXPERIENCE
4 people in a hot tub Here are 5 ways to create the perfect hot tub environment! The right temperature, mood, company, refreshments and moderation will increase your enjoyment. 1. Temperature- The optimum temperature for getting the most out of your backyard vacation is between 100 and 104 degrees Fahrenheit.  You can experiment within this range of temperatures to find the perfect setting for the most enjoyable hot tub experience. My husband and I find that our hot tub temperature varies with the outside temperature. The colder it is, the hotter we like it. In the summer we turn it down.  An old teacher of mine said that "consciousness loves contrast".  And that is certainly true of our hot tub temperature. 2. Mood- The hot tub is best enjoyed coming home after a hard day at work or right before bed. We turn off the lights and simply gaze up at the stars-trying to decide which is a star and which is a planet. We light some candles, too, and place them around the hot tub to provide a romantic ambiance for our rooftop escape. Adding some aromatherapy products to the soak further enhances relaxation. Just make sure though that the product is specifically made for use in hot tubs. Go to our E-store for the absolute best aromatherapy products "Being" which are especially formulated for hot tubs. Being isn't greasy, won't screw up your water chemistry AND the scents are heavenly.  Being scents include: Enlighten with Lemon, Cypress, and Basil;  Reflect with Lavender and Geranium; Uplift with Green Tea, Ginger and Lime; Awaken with Tangerine and Grapefruit; and, Release with Chamomile and Clary Sage.  Order today from our E-Store. 3. Company- What would be the essence of a hot tub experience if there is no one to share it with? The soothing warmth of the water is best enjoyed in the company of a special someone and makes the setting an ideal opportunity for quiet conversation.  My husband and I never run out of things to talk about in the hot tub and it's so relaxing that any potential disagreements get melted away before they bloom into an argument. 4. Refreshments- It is important to stay hydrated during the soak, but please no alcohol. It can create some adverse health risks. Many people do use alcohol when they first get a new tub. But the next day they feel so awful if they over imbibe, that they're cured from every drinking in the tub again. The Hot Tub plunge for relaxation and detoxification, so try just plain water.  We like icy cold San Pellegrino. 5. Moderation- Medical Studies have shown that over-exposure to excess heat is dangerous to one's body, so don't risk it. A moderate soak in a hot tub is advised, but limit immersion time to twenty minutes or so. One can always come back for more anyway. The benefits of improved circulation, cardiac output and purifying your body toxins make it so worthwhile.  I had a nasty fall last Monday which was quite painful. I stayed in bed all day Tuesday except for 3 trips to the hot tub for 20 minutes each time.  The result: pain greatly diminished and I could walk without wincing! Talk about a miracle cure! With that said, forget that pending resort and spa membership or that long desired expensive trip to Paris this year and enjoy a vacation instead right in the backyard everyday! Create your own backyard sanctuary now by installing a hot tub which will give you years of enjoyment with family and friends. RES EST SEVERA VOLUPTAS. Pleasure is a serious business!

default HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO OPERATE A HOT TUB? FAR LESS THAN YOU THOUGHT!
December 13th, 2008 - Many, many hot tubs are energy hogs...but NOT Hot Spring Spas. They're designed to stay hot at your desired temperature- 24/7 for the lowest energy cost of any spa on the market. Hot Spring Spas have proven that they are the most energy-efficient spas made and document this fact with test results by Exponent, Inc, the nation’s leading independent, scientific engineering firm. Exponent, Inc. calculated the actual energy consumption of Hot Spring Spas through rigorous third-party testing. Go to the Hot Spring Energy Efficient Hot Tub page to see the estimated costs for most areas in Puget Sound based on this testing (select St. Louis, MO for a comparable climate). As of November 1, 2008, the highest cost to operate one of our most popular 4-person models, the Hot Spring Sovereign, was $17.01 in most parts of Puget Sound that were served by Puget Sound Energy and Seattle City Light.  Other utilities including Snohomish PUD and Tacoma Power had an even lower cost. Hot Spring's superior full foam insulation as well as the 4" insulating cover-on which snow won't melt-keep the heat in like a thermos bottle keeps coffee hot. The spa stays at temperature, ready for your relaxing pleasure 24/7 with just little increments of added heat.  It costs much less to keep the spa hot all of the time rather than let it cool and raise it to temperature.  Plus, you're far more likely to use it on a regular basis if it's hot and ready when you are.  If you take 3 or or more baths a week, for example, owing and using a hot tub will be far more economical.  And, not just for electricity usage. The water savings are significant as well. There are many other energy saving features built-into Hot Spring Spas. The peace of mind that comes from knowing you’ll be able to use your Hot Spring Spa every day without fear of high utility bills…priceless. Purchasing a Hot Spring Olympic Hot Tub is a powerfully efficient decision.   RES EST SEVERA VOLUPTAS. Pleasure is a serious business!

Here's one from Marty Cole of Seattle, a Hot Spring Sovereign owner.  He made the switch and is so happy with the results.  SilkBalance is a must have for every hot tub!

default ADVICE FOR PRESIDENT ELECT OBAMA: PROVIDE FUNDING FOR A HOT TUB IN EVERY HOME
  I'm grateful to fellow blogger Tara Dharma of Santa Cruz, California for this great idea: "I think President Obama, in his first official act, should provide funding for every single family in the USA to have a hot tub if they want it. It would go a long way to promote health, well-being, and a significant reduction in crime. You heard it here first." Thank you, Tara Dharma, you said it first. Think of the health benefits. National spending for health care would drop. Families would talk to each other again. People would feel better. The list goes on. The possibilities are endless.  Everyone of our Olympic Hot Tub Company customers agree that it makes them feel better and more optimistic which helps the economy! Send this post to friends. Let's see how far it goes! RES EST SEVERA VOLUPTAS. Pleasure is a serious business!

default NEW HOT TUB PHOTOS-A FIRE PIT COMPLETES THE PERFECT BACKYARD

Just had to share two photos of a new hot tub installation at the home of Olympic Hot Tub customers: The Thorntons. Our fall has been so beautiful and mild, the trees so colorful that even the days have been perfect hot tubbing weather. The fire pit is a great addition for ambiance. Imagine sitting in this hot tub at night watching the fire-modern version of sitting on the couch in front of a fireplace. Note the lifter that holds the cover up off the ground. Having a lifter is the no sweat way to get the cover off so there's not time wasted when you want to jump in. Flip it back and it stores itself. Sweet. Thanks to the Thorntons for sending these photos. What a lovely Hot Spring Spa installation!

Anyone else have photos to share? We'd love to see them.

default SILK BALANCE-FOR NATURAL, EASY HOT TUB WATER CARE WITHOUT DRY SKIN!

This letter from a happy SilkBalance and Olympic Hot Tub Customer user says it all:

Dear SilkBalance ,
I have a HotSpring Jetsetter spa and use your product, I love what it does for my skin.
My husband who suffered from very dry skin problems is now able to join me again in the spa as his skin isn’t effected any longer by the chemicals and doesn’t dry out.
Thank you.

Frankie Adams
Olympia WA.

Thanks for your letter, Frankie. The awful secret about getting older is that dry skin is a perennial problem. Customers have told me that they couldn't use the tub because of their dry skin problem especially in the winter.
Get that spa hot!
Get ready to get back to the relaxation and stress relief you've been aching for.
Silk Balance works exactly as promised: it eliminates the dry skin problem without adding all sorts of yucky oils and perfumes!

But that's not all it does. At first we were skeptial of a product that promised so much. But Hot Spring owners are raving about how it's transformed their hot tubbing experinece. You  have to feel the water with Silk Balance to believe what a difference it makes. We keep one spa in each of our showrooms without Silk Balance. The rest have it as the water care of choice. We don't have to say anything but: "Put your hand in this spa without Silk Balance. Now put your hand in the other spa with Silk Balance." No one has actually swooned yet, but we've heard: "I can't believe it!" "Wow, what a difference!" "I'll take it!"

Silk Balance does make your hot tub water feel like silk and leaves your skin feeling smooth as a baby’s. Direct from Europe where it has made hot tub care easier than ever, it’s a proprietary blend of balancing products combined in one easy-to-use bottle. Now, this is the best part: No more alkalinity increaser, calcium hardness, pH increaser or de-creaser, and stain & scale control products. Really! Throw them all away.

●Add SilkBalance once a week to keep your spa readings in perfect harmony, without testing or mixing.
●It's enhanced with silver so it’s EverFresh and ozone system compatible
●Added sea salts leave your skin feeling young and soft.

●BDT© Technology keeps spa components running better.
●Allows for minimization of sanitizers; environmentally friendly.

Transitioning to Silk Balance requires the one-time use of Spa Purge to rid your spa plumbing of old residual water care products and set you up for a crystal clear experience. After that, spa care is a breeze.

Discover how great soaking can be again..without the plague of dry skin and mixing of all those chemicals! Return to nature!!

default MRS. TODD-THE HOT TUB SALESWOMAN

Earlier this week, Chuck Todd, political analyst for MSNBC revealed on the morning show that his mother owned a small business selling hot tubs. He lamented that: "They haven't sold one. They can't sell any." She's located in a swing state and business is bad. He continued with: "This is one of those middle of the road luxury items."

I couldn't let this go without a message to Chuck:

Chuck: You are wrong that a hot tub is a middle of the road luxury item that nobody wants. You and your mom have to check out the health benefits and that fact that a hot tub is a NEED not a want for millions of Americans. And, they are selling! Why don't you get the facts and spread the word about stress relief, arthritis & fibromyalgia relief, weight loss and diabetes lessening.? Not to mention relieving stiff muscles and having a family place to go now that families don't eat dinner together anymore. I've been in the hot tub business 32 years. I'd be glad to share my marketing tips with your mom. Tell her to call me. Hot tub evangelists live all over America. You should hear what my customers say after they purchase: "It's the best thing I've ever done for myself and my family. I wouldn't be without it."

Our biggest service day ever was 9/11. We came in thinking that no one would call. But people realized that when times are tough, they need the solace of their hot tubs for stress relief! We sold 5 yesterday because people are choosing to spend on their health, their families, their quality of life. I'm waiting to hear from your mom.
Best wishes,

default CONGRATULATIONS! YOU’VE PURCHASED A HOME WITH A HOT TUB. Here’s what to do now for happy, healthy and safe soaking.

November 28th, 2008 - Congratulations! Your new home has a hot tub! You’re almost ready to enjoy all the benefits including good health, relaxation, and backyard fun. I say almost because if you’re new to hot tub ownership, there are some things to do before you take that first dip. Based on our 33 years in business, here's what Olympic Hot Tub recommends: Get all possible data about your tub to determine correct filters, spa cover, and water care products. Ask the previous owners before your house closes. No data? Measure width and height of the spa to calculate water volume. Verify maintenance supplies are correct (bring in the box the owner's have left to any of our 5 stores-we'll help you sort out what's needed or not) and spa cover and cover lifter are in good shape. Drain & refill before jumping in. First- buy new filters. Bad filters cause cloudy water. Don’t know your hot tub brand or model? Measure a filter. Proper filters can be found at local spa retailers or on the web. Visit Olympic Hot Tub's estore for all Hot Spring, Tiger River,  Solana, Hot Spot and Limelight filters. Check cover and lifter Is the cover too heavy to lift, broken, cracked, peeling, musty? Replace it.Water saturated covers drain energy and might hurt your back. Don't through energy dollars down the drain; a well fitting cover is your first defense in saving money. We recommend Sunstar TM covers for their patented water seal and long life. Lifter should sit square on the tub with straight arms and top bar, or your cover will be harder to lift and may not form a heat retention seal. For a great lifter, check out our selection of lifters. We carry all covers, too. “The Right” water care products. Take old product to a reputable hot tub dealer for recycling. Bring any of your water care bottles to one of Olympic's 5 stores and receive $1. off each new item. A reputable dealer can determine what you need to get started. One big don’t: Don’t use swimming pool chlorine. It’s unstable in hot water, clouds water, has the wrong pH, and dissipates quickly. If your tub uses chlorine make sure it’s for hot tubs, with “sodium dichloride” not “calcium hypochlorite” as the major ingredient.Consider changing from chlorine to newer, less harsh sanitizers. SeaKlear TM Spa brand has water care products especially formulated for hot tubs. Order at our estore. The easiest water care and the softest skin you can imagine:SilkBalance is for you! No mixing, testing or hassle. Order from our estore and start your hot tub experience off right! Replace testing reagents every year, or try test strips. They’re more effective and allow one “dip of the strip” testing. Start fresh with new strips. Keep strips dry for accurate water testing results. We give water care lessons and any reputable dealer should, too. So, ask your retailer for a water care lesson and handouts detailing how to maintain water cleanliness and sanitation procedures. OR, call our service center: 206 431-2876. Still puzzled? Local service firms specializing in your brand can teach maintenance shortcuts and proper care or consider hiring a valet service to maintain your hot tub for you. Doing it yourself? It’s time to drain and clean! Follow the manufacturer's instructions. Always unplug tub or turn breakers off first. Unsure which cleaning products? Try Simple Green, baking soda, or any non-abrasive cleaner. Got grit on the tub floor?Use a turkey baster or wet-dry vacuum after draining tub. Hot tub vacuums are another option. Run hose a few minutes outside tub then refill tub with clean water. Add new filters and water care products, i.e. sanitizers, pH modifiers, water hardness, and alkalinity raisers. Plug it in or reset the breakers. Set temperature. Your first dip is only hours away! Want Us to Do it For You? Call for our Valet Service! We'll drain & clean and get you set up correctly.
