After a long hard day at the office what would you prefer doing? Having a quick shower or spend time in a hot tub that stays heated. Even better still, the whole family can join and all have some quality time and unwind; this is now possible with your hot tub heater. For singles – this is an opportunity to spice your love life up.

What could possibly be better than lying with your partner in a hot tub outside watching an awesome African sunset with a glass of superb red wine? Or just having a hot tub bath with a log fire burning in the background – you will be able to spend as much time as you like in your heated hot tub. Now let’s look at how you make these memorable evenings possible.

Solar applications are very good for heating up your tub; and they are relatively inexpensive as hot tubs use simple unglazed plastic collectors. The hot tub is the thermal storage for this type of heating, as your pump that is used for filtering your water circulates water through the solar collectors.

When looking at a hot tub heater you will first need to look at what hot tub you are going to install – either an above ground or the in ground hot tub. The choice you make will depend entirely on the space you have available. The above ground hot tub takes up far less space than does the in ground hot tub.

If you choose an off ground hot tub then your heater, filter, blower and pump will be comfortable installed under the hot tub, as the heater is tiny. Take note; that the pump and other accessories are not as powerful as the in ground appliances. The advantages are that you can move the above ground hot tub and accessories easily.

The above ground hot tubs come with wooden enclosures and the mould is made from fibreglass, giving you seating options of two to ten. There are more lavish options available. The jets are built into the seats and the unit comes with steps as well as a built in light. Go online and search for the best buys.

An in ground hot tub is sunken into the ground and is a permanent feature which cannot be moved once it has been installed. You hot tub could become a landscaped feature where you can add plants; statues and even a little water fall. These are usually made from concrete or fibreglass. The seating is designed in the fashion of steps and have approximately sixteen jets

A solar hot tub heater in your ground spa will retain the heat. Your energy and costs will be minimal as well as your hot tub being environmentally friendly. To ensure the tub stays warm a good cover is required, this will be determined as to where you live and what type of climate you have.
