Why does my Hot Tub make me feel Better?

Posted in Health Benefits, Spas by hotspringd on the March 8th, 2010

  

A recent study shows that 70 percent of employed Americans suffer stress-related conditions including anxiety and insomnia.  Soaking in a hot tub can:  

  • Reduce stress and relax: Swirling warm water helps your brain to relax while washing away anxiety.
  • Sleep Better: By immersing yourself in hot water for 15 minutes before bedtime, your body temperature rises and enhances your ability to fall asleep faster.

  

 

Hydrotherapy is one the oldest and safest methods for treating many common ailments. Plus, exercising in water is easier on joints than exercising on land! By soaking in a hot tub, you can:  

  • Get relief for arthritis, aches and stiffness.-Warm, pulsating water increases blood supply to aching joints, which helps to remove inflammatory particles from the area and relieves pain. 

    -The buoyancy of the water relaxes muscles, and warm water decreases muscle tension that allows for greater flexibility. 

    -Specialized jets that move up and down the spine soothe inflamed tissue and relieve pain. 

  

Breathing Problems

 

 -Steam rising off hot water can help open up nasal and bronchial passages and improves circulation to aid in maintaining upper respiratory health. 

 -Many people find that soaking in a hot tub relieves headache pain, especially pain from tension headaches. 

 

Many professional sports organizations, trainers and therapists recommend warm-water therapy to help patients resume their daily activities faster. By owning a hot tub, you can:  

  • Improve Cardio Health: A recent study at the Mayo Clinic found that soaking in a hot tub gives many of the health benefits of exercise with less strain on the heart. Soaking in a hot tub increases the heart rate while it lowers blood pressure rather than raising it as does other forms of exercise.
  • Relieve Back and Knee Pain: Four out of five Americans suffer from chronic back pain, according to the U.S. National Institutes of Health. Many studies show that hydrotherapy alleviates lower back pain and knee ailments by reducing stress and stiffness.

The above are just a few of the benefits of soaking in a hot tub.  Making your soak a regular event, you may find that your mind, your joints and your muscles truley become relaxed like never before.

What are the benefits of ACE and how does it work?

Posted in Energy Efficiency, Health Benefits, Spas by hotspringd on the January 30th, 2010

Benefits

The ACE system is an advanced salt water chlorine generating system designed specifically for the Hot Spring Spa.  The benefits of a salt water chlorine generating system over and above the obvious (less work to maintain your water chemistry)  is that the ACE system does NOT depend on expensive , harsh chemicals like chlorine, bromine or other man-made santiziers but rather salt, a much cheaper commodity.  With the ACE system, the soakers do not have to worry about green hair, itchy eyes or skin problems, or storing large quantities of harmful chemicals.  While pH levels still need to be tested, there is less work involved in maintaining an ACE spa versus a spa treated with traditional chemicls.

How does it work?

Natural non-iodized salt (sodium chloride) is added to the hot tub water.  The salt is comprised of two elements – Chloride and sodium.  The ACE system has a cell that is installed within the hot tubs 24 hour filtration system that houses and special electrolytic cell.  As the water is pulled acrossed the cell, it electrifies the salt water, producing a simple, natural form of chlorine.  This system is also checking the salt water levels of the hot tub to insure that the levels are not too high or too low.  If either case occurs, a warning icon will displayed to alert the owner tha some minor adjustments need to be made.

Chlorine Cycle

This freshly chlorinated water is circulated into the hot tub so its sanitizing properties can kill bacteria and viruses.  The cell also produces an effective oxidizer cleaning the water and giving it a pristine apperience.  Eventually the natuarl form of chlorine is used up and reverts back to salt’s original two elements.  The ACE system is a closed loop system therefore once the chlorine is reverted back to salt, it is available once again to generate more chlorine.

Additional Chemicals and Maintenance

The ACE system is effective with virtually any water supply.  After the initial fill, the owner simply adjusts the waters calcium levels, pH levels adds salt, tells the system the level at which the hot tub will be used and its size and the ACE is off and running.  An occassional test of the pH levels and a monthly confirmation of the hot tubs usage is all that is needed.

The cell may need an occasional cleaning which is easily done with vinegar on the side of the hot tub.
