What’s New: Soft Portable Hot Tubs
Are there really such things as
soft portable hot tubs? Yes, and
they are growing quickly in popularity. A soft sided home spa or hot tub may
be made of vinyl with a foam core, an aluminum frame with padded side walls,
or even inflatable vinyl. Each of these variations is portable and easy to
set up, even in very small spaces, and they usually do not require any
special electrical wiring.
Soft sided hot tubs are an economical alternative to traditional hard shell
tubs, and they are good choices for buyers who are not quite sure if a hot
tub is right for them. Soft sided models are also popular with people who
rent their home rather than own it, and with recreational vehicle owners who
want a portable way to enjoy hydrotherapy wherever they go.
Even though the sides are soft, these
portable home spas or tubs are strong enough to hold the weight of an
average person as they swing their legs in or out of the tub. They generally
do not have built in seats; instead, the bottom is padded so bathers can sit
on it and lean back against the side wall. Soft sided tubs come complete
with a heater and motor to get the water hot quickly and generate the
swirling action that makes using one so relaxing and enjoyable.
A soft sided portable hot tub generally uses water chemicals that are
somewhat different from those used in a hard shell spa. Standard chemicals
will damage the vinyl liner, so special chemicals are recommended to prolong
the lifespan of the liner. These chemicals are fairly comparable in price to
standard chemicals, although they are not always as readily available.
Special custom covers are also available to help retain heat and keep the
water clear of dirt and debris.
