Bachmann's Pools, Spas and Saunas

Does the cold weather have you feeling down in the dumps? When the temperatures drop and darkness comes earlier, it can be hard to stay happy and cheerful. Especially with Valentine’s Day right around the corner, some can be left feeling sad and lonely. This year, you can try to combat this with a hot tub and the health benefits it can bring right to your backyard! Treat yourself to an at-home oasis.

Even though the temperatures might be lower, a hot tub provides the perfect opportunity to spend time outside – even when it’s cold. With an outdoor spa, you can soak during daylight hours and increase your exposure to natural light. This can lead to an increased production of serotonin, thus, a happier attitude throughout the colder months. Having a hot tub may also encourage extra time with your family or friends! Our spas provide you the space to entertain and visit with the people you love, something that can always brighten a day.

By spending just 20 minutes in your hot tub in the morning or at night, you will leave feeling more refreshed and rejuvenated than you did before. With that extra boost, you will stay more focused throughout the day and the hustle and bustle of life! It also will relax your muscles which can tighten up immensely in the cold weather. Along with muscle relaxation comes better sleep, and the longer you sleep, the more energy you will have for day to follow!

This extra boost of energy and muscle relaxation may even lead to an increased desire to exercise. Physical activity has been proven to reduce anxiety and depression. It also leaves you with a higher level of self-esteem and body image! These are all things that can help combat the cold weather gloom. Plus, at the end of your workout, there will be a warm hot tub waiting to help you recover for the next day.

You can use this time in your new hot tub to slow down and clear your mind, focusing on what is most important to remember – your mental health! Don’t let the cold weather get you down. Call us today or stop by one of our stores and let our hot tub professionals at Bachmanns Pools, Spas and Saunas help you combat the chilly air blues!

Arthritis Benefits

If you are one of the 46 million Americans affected by arthritis, soaking in your Hot Spring spa can help ease your pain. Joint inflammation from arthritis causes swelling, pain and stiffness, often resulting in the loss of joint movement or function. Immersion in warm water produces hydrostatic pressure on the body that results in reduced joint inflammation and increased mobility*. Spas give you the soothing warm water and buoyancy needed to release tension and improve your quality of life.

For even more relief, use the Arthritis Foundation’s hot tub tips to gently exercise and practice flexibility as you soak.

The use of hot water or heat is recommended for many people with arthritis but not all. Always consult your physician.

For more information regarding arthritis and the health benefits of hot tubs, visit the Arthritis Foundation website.

There are three factors at work in a spa: heat, buoyancy and massage. Working together, they create a totally relaxing hydromassage experience. The heat in a hot tub raises your body temperature, increasing circulation. The buoyancy of the hot tub reduces your body weight by 90%*, relieving pressure on muscles and joints with a relaxing sensation of weightlessness. Through relaxing massage, our customers have reported that they experience the following benefits:

• Relief of tension in muscles and joints
• Temporary relief of aches and pains
• Decreased anxiety and stress
• Total, full-body relaxation

*Body weight reduced by 90% with neck-depth immersion.

Your spa cover is more than an attractive accessory. It’s also has the very important job of holding in heat when your spa is not in use, helping to reduce energy consumption and keep energy costs low. The cover also prevents excess evaporation, helping you conserve water, and it prevents debris and objects that could clog your filters from falling into the spa. Maintaining the cover in good condition is one of the easiest things you can do to keep your spa operating at its very best.

Signs your cover is ready for replacement

Spa covers are designed to last for a long time. But like any object exposed to sunlight and weather over time, your cover will eventually show signs of wear. Inspect your spa cover monthly for warning signs.

It’s time to replace your cover if:

You see breaks, cracks, tears, fading or sagging. Deteriorating condition and changes in shape could cause the cover to let heat and water vapor out, and dust and debris in. Look for dry or brittle texture in addition to holes and other visible signs of breakage.

Your cover is waterlogged. When the vapor barrier fails the inner foam absorbs water, creating a perfect environment for bacteria and mildew to grow. Not only is a waterlogged cover a health hazard, it could lead to accelerated deterioration of the other parts of your spa.

Maintenance tips to extend the life of your cover

Regular cleaning

To keep your spa cover looking great and doing its job, periodically clean it. To clean the cover, remove it from the spa and lightly spray the outside surface with a garden hose. Then use a very mild soap solution (1 teaspoon of liquid dish soap to 2 gallons of water) or baking soda and a large sponge to gently scrub the cover using a circular motion. Work in sections and rinse each area before the soap dries on the vinyl. Then condition the cover with a thin film of Hot Spring Cover Shield. On the inside surface, use water only and wipe it clean with a dry towel.

Let the spa breathe

When you treat or clean the spa itself or the water in it, leave the cover off for about half an hour immediately afterwards. Water purification agents need air to mix properly. Covering the spa immediately after adding chemicals can trap vapors inside that work against the longevity of the vinyl.

Your spa cover is not a table.

Don’t put objects or people on the cover. Anything with weight could cause the cover to stretch and sag, speeding premature deterioration. Remember to remove snow in the winter. If ice accumulates on your cover, loosen it with warm water before removing. Prying or chipping it off could tear the vinyl.

Lastly, be kind to your cover. Spa covers are heavy and large and can be difficult to remove and replace alone. Don’t drag it, even on grass. Get a friend to help, or install one of our cover lifters.
