Bachmann's Pools, Spas and Saunas

 Spending time in a hot tub is a great way to relax and unwind, but in warmer seasons, the heat of the water might be too much. That’s why we offer the ​​Cool Zone, the hot tub cooling system that allows you to enjoy your spa both at warm and cool temperatures. 

Benefits of a Cool Hot Tub 

Hot tubs are a wonderful way to warm up on a cool evening, or in cold climates like Canada where “hot tub hair contests” are a fun activity. Though, in warmer areas, hot tubs often go unused during periods of the year. Cool Zone allows you to transform your hot tub into a cool, relaxing space to use on a hot summer day.  

While we also offer swim spas for your fitness needs, Cool Zone can be a wonderful tool for athletes, due to the benefits of cold water after exercise. Similar to professional athletes taking ice baths on a regular basis, using the cold water of Cool Zone can reduce muscle soreness and lower your perceived exertion during your workout, helping you to stay on top of your fitness goals and feel better overall after exercising. Cold water also has other health benefits such as improving your circulation and boosting your immune system.  

Summer Fun for Kids 

No kid wants to be cooped up inside on a beautiful day because of the heat, so for grandparents and families with small children, having an at-home option to beat the summer heat is wonderful. With the smaller area of the hot tub, as well as the privacy of a personal system, it’s easy for guardians to keep an eye on children playing, while also letting them burn off some energy and stay cool. Of course, the benefit of a cold hot tub doesn’t stop there. Adults can also enjoy the benefits of cooling off on a summer day right in their home, rather than walking or driving to a community pool.  

Beat the Heat 

Spending your days by a pool or on the beach is a great way to beat the summer heat, but isn’t always convenient. Having a cool hangout area in your backyard makes it simple and easy to spend your days outside without overheating! The Cool Zone technology is unique in its ability to transform your hot tub from a cozy, toasty area into cold, refreshing space, and vice versa. It’s perfect for whichever option fits your mood. Give us a call and cool off this summer with the Cool Zone Hot Tub Cooling System!

The hot, bubbling water of your spa is the most relaxing thing in the world, but if you’re part of the Sensitive Skin Club, it can cause skin dryness. Here are a few helpful tips to ensure your skin stays soft, supple, and irritation-free, even with frequent hot tub usage. 

Choose Your Liquids Wisely 

While it can be tempting to pour yourself a glass of wine to enjoy while relaxing in your spa, people with sensitive, dry skin should avoid doing this. The combination of alcohol and chemically-treated water can have a negative impact on your skin, resulting in dry patches. Additionally, alcohol acts as a diuretic and causes your kidneys to work harder, which results in more trips to the bathroom and thus, less time spent relaxing. Instead of reaching for a refreshing beer, drink a few glasses of ice water. While enjoying your hot tub, it’s important to drink adequate amounts of water to stay hydrated and protect your skin.

Invest in a Spa-Safe Moisturizer 

Utilizing a spa-safe moisturizer is an important step in helping your skin retain its moisture during a hot tub session. You should look for ones that are oil-free and don’t contain harmful chemicals that could clog your filter. A great option is available from inSPAration Spa and Bath. It’s a non-foaming, non-bubbling formulation that doesn’t impact the water’s PH. Its emollients guard your skin against the drying effects of chemicals and hard water deposits. Simply lather your skin in this lotion, or any similar spa-safe product, prior to hopping in and you’ll help to minimize skin dryness and irritation. 

A Lukewarm Shower Will Make All the Difference

The chemicals used to keep your hot tub protect you from harmful contaminants like bacteria, but they can also make your skin feel dry after repeated exposure. If you’re looking for a way to combat this, try taking a lukewarm shower after each soak and gently patting yourself mostly dry with a towel. When your skin is still a little damp, coat your skin with a moisturizer like Curel’s Hydra Therapy, Jergens Wet Skin Body Moisturizer with Shea Butter Oil, or Nivea Cocoa Butter In-Shower Body Lotion. This will help your skin retain hydration properties for a longer period of time.

It’s no secret that traveling during the holidays can be stressful. If you’re craving a break from the constant demands of everyday life, consider having a cozy staycation with your personal spa as the center piece! Here are a couple of tips to help you transform your spa into a 5-star hotel experience.

Comfort is Top Priority

What’s your favorite part about staying in a hotel? For many people, the answer is simple: The luxurious robes. There’s something so comforting about slipping into the warm embrace of a fluffy, white robe and kicking back with a mug of hot coffee. If you’re looking to replicate this feeling at home, go ahead and purchase your own robe, no reservation necessary: 15 Luxury Hotel–Quality Bathrobes You Can Buy Online.

At-Home Room Service

If you’ve ever ordered room service, you know how stress-free the process is. You place a quick call, hangout for a couple of minutes, and then all of a sudden, there’s a knock on your door along with a platter of delicious food. Unless you have an extremely accommodating family member who’s willing to cook for you and bring it straight to your bedroom, room service isn’t exactly an option during a staycation. The next best thing is to place an online order via DoorDash, UberEats, BiteSquad, or Postmates. Go ahead and select your favorite meal, drink, and dessert, and then count the minutes while soaking in your bubbling hot tub.

Bring the Theater Home

One of the most relaxing parts about being on vacation is the excuse to watch hours of television without feeling an ounce of guilt. If you’re taking a staycation, it can be tempting to go on your computer and do a few minutes, or even hours, of work, but we urge you to take this time to recharge your batteries. Simply turn on your laptop, TV, or outdoor projector and set it on a table near your hot tub. Next, grab a yummy drink and/oor snack, flip on your favorite flick, and settle in for an amazing night. If you’re looking for a classic Christmas movie to get in the spirit, check out this fun list: ​​The Best Classic Christmas Movies of All Time.

Indulge in a Massage 

Who else loves massages? Receiving a massage is an amazing experience, but if you’re looking to save money for your holiday shopping fund, we’ve got a better idea. Your personal spa is the ultimate personal masseuse that never gets tired or expects a tip. Just slip into the toasty water, turn on the jets, and sit back as your stress and stiffness melt away. Many of our hot tub models are equipped with directional hydromassage technology that allow for targeted pain relief. In no time, you’ll be feeling like a brand new person.

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

It’s been a long year, so you definitely deserve a break. Go ahead and take off a few days from work, and commit yourself to recharging your batteries just in time for the busy holiday season. If you don’t already own a hot tub, it’s time to treat yourself to the ultimate relaxation experience! Contact our team today and one of our representatives will be happy to help you find your ideal model. This really is the most wonderful time of the year!

The post Transform Your Spa Into the Perfect Winter Getaway appeared first on Bachmanns Pools & Spas.

Whether you’re suffering from a case of the winter blues or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a personal spa might be the ideal cure. Here’s how taking a soak in the bubbling water of your hot tub will help to boost your mood, even on the coldest days.

What is SAD?

 Every winter, countless individuals will experience a negative mood shift as the temperatures drop and the amount of daylight decreases. This phenomenon, which is often referred to as the “winter blues,” typically doesn’t impact a person’s ability to enjoy life. However, if someone finds that their symptoms are beginning to cause them severe distress,  they might actually be suffering from a depressive disorder called Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). It can involve feelings of depression and anxiety, a change in sleeping patterns, the loss of interest in one’s favorite hobbies, and in some cases, suicidal thoughts.

The Power of Endorphins

During the winter months, the decrease in sunlight can wreak havoc on our endorphin levels and cause us to feel depressed. Fortunately, your hot tub is here to save the day! Research shows that soaking in a warm pool of water will encourage your body to release endorphins, also known as the “feel-good” chemicals, and this can improve your mood and regulate your sleep patterns. According to Dr. Bobby Buka who is a dermatologist based in New York, “Your skin releases endorphins in response to the soothing warm water the same way that endorphins are released when you feel the sun on your skin.” If you ever feel your mood dropping, take a relaxing dip in your spa, and in no time, you’ll start to feel better.

A Cozy Way to Experience the Outdoors

Whether you’ve lived in Wisconsin for a month or 50 years, it’s impossible to deny that the winters here can be tough. Back in 1996, we had our coldest day on record and it clocked in at 55 degrees below zero, so we’re no strangers to extreme weather conditions. Because of this, it’s all too common for people to stay indoors for months at a time, covered in layers of blankets while next to the fire. While this is undeniably cozy, it can result in negative emotional changes caused by a lack of sunshine. Luckily, your hot tub is the perfect solution for spending quality time outdoors, while staying warm and comfortable. In addition to the increased sunlight, listening to the soothing sounds of the outdoors can help to reduce feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress.

On a cold, cloudy day in the middle of winter, the best feeling in the world is sinking into the hot, bubbling water of your personal spa. However, if you’re going to be traveling extensively during the holiday season, leaving your hot tub unattended for a long period of time isn’t ideal. Depending on your travel plans, it might be the best option to winterize your spa before departing. This will help you save on your monthly energy bill and protect your spa from potential damage.

Assess the Pros and Cons

Before jumping straight into winterizing your spa, it’s essential to take a look at your travel schedule to determine if it’s necessary. If you have a couple of trips planned but will be returning to your home for a few weeks in between each one, spending the time to winterize won’t be worth the benefits. While it will help to minimize your electric bill, the process can be time-consuming since it involves more steps than simply draining your hot tub and closing the cover. If this situation sounds like you, it will be best to keep your hot tub running, filled with hot, properly cleaned water, and covered while not in use.

Prep Your Spa

If you decide that winterizing is the right choice for your hot tub, start the process by sanitizing the water and removing any debris. Since you’ll be draining the water in a bit, this might seem like an unnecessary step, but by taking a moment to clean everything first, you’ll reduce the risk of bacteria making itself comfortable in dormant pipes while you’re away. Once you’re finished with this step, go ahead and gather a few tools that will make the rest of this process easier:

• A submersible sump pump or wet vacuum
• A spa-safe sanitizing solution
• Scrubbing tools

Start to Winterize

Every hot tub model is unique so the draining process can vary from type to type. Before proceeding, make sure to check your owner’s manual for guidance specific to your make and model. For a vast majority of hot tubs, you’ll need to power it down before starting to drain it. If your spa is equipped with drain plugs, you can remove these, and once most of the water is purged, you can grab your wet vacuum or sump pump to soak up any remaining liquid. For spas without drain plugs, you should utilize your vacuum or pump to remove all of the liquid.

Once finished, turn on the jets for a few seconds to eliminate any water stuck in the pipes. Next, grab your sanitizing supplies and clean the vents, filters, jet baskets, and basin. This will ensure that any leftover bacteria is eliminated. After that, shut and lock the cover and you’re all done! Once you’re back in town after your travels, you can refill your hot tub, turn up the temperature, balance the chemicals, and hop back in for a cozy soak.

Need Assistance?

If this is the first time you’ve ever winterized your hot tub, the process might seem a bit intimidating. For extra guidance, feel free to contact our team and we’d be happy to help!
