“The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize.” —- Clairee Belcher, Steel Magnolias
Check. You have your hot tub — or, at least, you know which one you want. You’ve decided where it’s going in your yard: close to the backdoor, deck, or patio. Check. Check.
So….let the party, and hydrotherapy, begin…right?
It turns out whether that’s yes or no is a very personal decision. After all, a well operating hot tub, like a Bullfrog Spa, is pretty sufficient on its own.
We suspect, however, that just the hot tub won’t satisfy everyone. For with almost all new things: we humans have a strong need to personalize them…to make them our own.
In this part one of a two-part blog, we’re focusing on that part of us that is very, very practical. You know, those urges that make us want a sturdy, expandable gym bag, colorful rubber boots for gardening… and, for some, the desire to maintain checkbook records as neat as computer spreadsheets.
Hot Tub Covers
All our packages at Long Island Hot Tub come with a durable cover, which are very helpful for energy efficiency as well as safety. If you don’t have one for some reason, we can assist you find one to match the shell of your hot tub, in such colors as: Cordovan, Tan, Portobello, Esperesso, White, Gray, Black, etc. — after all, we’re talking about “accessorizing.”
Hot Tub Covers:
When debris or unsanitized liquids from Mother Nature get into a spa, it throws off the chemical balance. Having a cover at the ready — to clamp down before any rainy, windy, or snowy action, is a great help in keeping clean, healthy water.
Hot Tub Cover Lifters
For convenience and functionality — Bullfrog Spas’ cover lifter helps you do what the name implies: lift the cover, and in a matter of seconds. It also will hold the cover up for extra privacy, and it makes storing your cover the simplest of tasks.
Hot Tub Steps:
When it comes to practical and durable steps, if you don’t want custom made, we recommend DuraSteps by Leisure Concepts. They can be used for both round and square hot tubs, and they come in a variety of colors. The steps are designed to keep their good looks for a long time and offer desirable safety traction for wet feet.
Chemicals and Other Accessories:
Everyone wants clean hot tub water. Consider such products as the Spa Frog Mineral Sanitizer; there’s also floating chlorinators, Sparkle Spa and Spa Bromine/Chlorine Dispensers, and combo sets that make keeping water clean easy to do.
Did you know that you can even come to our showroom for a private tutorial on using hot tub chemicals. Just phone our showroom and schedule an appointment.
Other practical accessories include spa vacuums, test kits, thermometers, and additives that help soak up oils and suntan lotion. There’s also an attachable handrail that changes direction for support when getting both in and out of your spa.
Next week, we’ll look at more gadget-savvy and upscale ways to accessorize our spas.
