Hot Tub Hunters

We all love the idea of elevating a warm soak with lavender or eucalyptus. Smells like a luxury retreat, right? But behind that soothing scent lies a hidden threat to your hot tub filters and water chemistry.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐮𝐛 𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐬 𝐯𝐬. 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐯𝐬. 𝐥𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐬𝐩𝐚 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐫! 👇

1. 𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒍 𝑬𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝑶𝒊𝒍𝒔 𝑨𝒓𝒆𝒏'𝒕 𝑺𝒐 𝑮𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝑭𝒐𝒓 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑺𝒑𝒂 ⚠️
Pure essential oils and regular bath oils are hydrophobic—they don’t mix with water. Instead, they float on the surface, stick to the shell, and coat your filter cartridge.

𝘍𝘪𝘭𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘊𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨: Oil seals off filter fibers, choking water circulation and straining your pump.

𝘚𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘻𝘦𝘳 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯: Your chlorine or bromine gets used up breaking down organic oil instead of killing bacteria, causing cloudy water and scum lines.

𝘍𝘰𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 & 𝘊𝘭𝘰𝘶𝘥𝘺 𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳: Residual oils can create excessive foam, throw your water chemistry off and leave you with cloudy water.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐅𝐢𝐱 𝐢𝐭:
If you’ve already added oils, don't panic! Use an enzyme spa clarifyer (or scum sponge) to digest the oil, pull out and deep clean your filter with a filter cleaner, and shock the water to restore sanitizer balance.

𝟐. 𝐀𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐚 𝐒𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐬 𝐯𝐬. 𝐋𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐬: 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫? 🧴 VS 🧂
It Depends, do you have a chlorine based hot tub or a salt based hot tub?

✅ DO use Spa-Safe Aromatherapy Crystals or Liquids:
Spa-formulated scents are specifically made from water-soluble, non-foaming compounds that evaporate cleanly within 30 to 60 minutes without affecting your pH or filter efficiency.

3. What About Saltwater Hot Tubs? 🌊

𝑰𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒂 𝒔𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒉𝒐𝒕 𝒕𝒖𝒃, 𝒑𝒂𝒚 𝒆𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒂 𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏:
Skip the Aromatherapy Salts/Crystals: Even spa-safe crystals contain dissolved salts that increase the salinity of your water. This can fool your salt cell into thinking salt levels are too high, causing the system to shut down generation!

Use Water-Soluble Spa Liquids instead; Liquid spa aromatherapy (like InSPAration oil free aromatherapy liquid) gives you the same sensory benefits without adding mineral mass or messing with your salt system’s electrical conductivity.

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑽𝒆𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒕: 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝑨𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒚 𝑨𝒅𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝑰𝒕?

Yes—if you use spa-formulated liquids or crystals! They promote deep relaxation, and leave your skin soft without leaving a trace in your plumbing.

🔌 𝐏𝐥𝐮𝐠 & 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐯𝐬. 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐬: 𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐇𝐨𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐛! 💦

As a spa professional, I walk families through this choice every single day. Both options deliver amazing relaxation, but they serve completely different needs. Let’s break down the differences, the pros and cons, and how to choose the perfect fit for your lifestyle! 👇

🔌 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟏: 𝐏𝐥𝐮𝐠-𝐚𝐧𝐝-𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐇𝐨𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐛𝐬 (𝟏𝟏𝟎𝐕/𝟏𝟐𝟎𝐕)
Just like the name implies, these spas plug directly into a standard, dedicated outdoor household outlet. No specialized electrical work required!

✅ The Pros:
𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯: Place it, fill it, plug it in, and you’re ready to go.
𝘓𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘜𝘱𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘉𝘶𝘥𝘨𝘦𝘵: You save 100% on initial electrical installation costs, which can otherwise run from several hundred to over a thousand dollars depending on your home.

𝘜𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘗𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺: Renting your home or planning to move in a few years? You can easily drain this tub, unplug it, and take it with you.
❌ The Cons:
𝘓𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦: Because they draw less power, plug-and-play models typically cannot run the heater and the high-speed jet pumps at the same time. When you turn the jets on high, the heater temporarily pauses.

𝘚𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘴: Initial heating from tap water can take 18–24 hours compared to just a few hours on a hardwired system.
Pioneer Family Pools

𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘛𝘦𝘮𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘋𝘳𝘰𝘱: In colder climates, if you’re soaking for a long time with the jets on high, the water temperature will gradually drop since the heater is taking a backseat.

⚡ 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝟐: 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐨𝐭 𝐓𝐮𝐛𝐬 (𝟐𝟐𝟎𝐕/𝟐𝟒𝟎𝐕)
These are your traditional spas, they require a licensed professional electrician to install a dedicated 50-60 amp circuit and a GFCI breaker panel outside.

✅ The Pros:
𝘔𝘢𝘹𝘪𝘮𝘶𝘮 𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 & 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦: The heater and multiple high-horsepower jet pumps can all run simultaneously. You get deep-tissue hydrotherapy and maximum jet pressure without losing a single degree of heat!

𝘙𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘥 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 & 𝘉𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘌𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺: They heat up 3 to 4 times faster than 110V models. Because they heat so efficiently, they cycle less often and can actually save you money on your monthly operating costs long-term.

𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘈𝘭𝘭 𝘚𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘴: No matter how freezing it gets outside, hardwired spa will maintain its temperature effortlessly during long winter soaking sessions.

❌ The Cons:
𝘏𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘜𝘱𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘊𝘰𝘴𝘵𝘴: You will need to budget for professional electrical installation and site prep.

𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘚𝘦𝘵𝘶𝘱: These are designed as permanent backyard fixtures. While they can be moved, it requires professional relocation and new electrical work at the next property.

𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐚 𝐏𝐥𝐮𝐠-𝐚𝐧𝐝-𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐟:
-You are a first time buyer looking for a lower price point tub.
-You rent your home or plan on moving soon.
-Your backyard routine focuses on quiet, casual warm water soak rather than intense deep-tissue hydrotherapy.

𝐂𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐚 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐰𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 (𝟐𝟐𝟎/𝟐𝟑𝟎𝐕) 𝐢𝐟:
-You have a family of 4 or more, or love to host weekend guests and need a larger shell with more seating options.
-Deep-tissue massage, powerful hydrotherapy, and custom jet features are your top priorities for physical recovery or stress relief.
-You live in a colder northern climate and want to enjoy long, steamy winter soaks without the water chilling down.
-You view your spa as a permanent, long-term investment in your home and wellness routine.

💡 Pro Tip: Many high-quality plug-and-play models are actually "convertible"! You can start by plugging it into a standard outlet today, and if you decide down the road that you want faster heating and full jet power, an electrician can easily convert it to a 220V system.

𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐮𝐩 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞? 🌡️❄️
If you’ve been wondering whether to heat it up or freeze it out, here is the quick breakdown of how Heat and Cold therapy can help you feel your best.

❄️ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐝 (𝐈𝐜𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐬, 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬)
Think of cold therapy as your body’s reset button. It constricts blood vessels, which drops inflammation and numbs sharp pain.
Best for: Post-workout soreness, acute injuries (like a sprained ankle), and a massive morning dopamine boost.

🌡️ 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐭 (𝐒𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐚𝐬, 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐚𝐝𝐬)
Heat is all about relaxation and repair. It dilates blood vessels, opening up the floodgates for nutrient-rich blood to heal tight muscles.

Best for: Chronic muscle stiffness, joint pain, stress relief, and warming up muscles before flexibility work.

Pro-Tip: A hot bath or heating pad for 15–20 minutes can melt away stress and significantly improve your sleep quality.

🔄 The Ultimate Combo: Contrast Therapy
Can't decide? Do both! Alternating between hot and cold creates a "pumping" effect in your blood vessels, flushing out metabolic waste and supercharging your recovery.
