IIn clinical studies, individuals using hot tubs experienced an average weight loss of 3.5 pounds without implementing new diet or exercise programs. The weight reduction was attributed to the hot water massage mimicking the effects of physical activity on the muscles.
Stress leads to muscle tension, headaches, fatigue, and soreness. Regular hot tub use, combining buoyancy, heat, and massage, alleviates tension and stress. Buoyancy reduces pressure in joints and muscles, while heat boosts blood flow to muscles and speeds up healing. Additionally, hot tub jets provide therapeutic massages, stimulating the release of endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkiller.
A current study by a Journal of Medicine discovered that bathing in a spa mimics the positive impacts of exercise. This leads to type 2 diabetes patients reducing their blood sugar levels by 13% after soaking for 30 minutes a day, 6 days a week for 3 weeks.
For individuals with arthritis, the Arthritis Research Campaign advises using a hot tub as a great method to apply heat to arthritic joints. Benefits of soaking in a hot tub may encompass muscle relaxation, reduced pain and joint stiffness, and improved ease in exercise and daily tasks.
No more counting sheep! According to the National Sleep Foundation, 30 million Brits suffer from mild to chronic insomnia and other sleep disorders.
Research published in the journal ‘Sleep’ indicates that immersing oneself in a hot tub before bedtime can aid in falling asleep and result in a more restful sleep as the body temperature decreases.
A recent study from the Mayo Clinic found that relaxation in a hot tub may benefit heart disease patients. The study indicated that hot tub relaxation is less taxing on the heart and more advantageous than exercising on a bike. Moreover, soaking in a hot tub for just 15 minutes can reduce blood pressure.
Elevate your daily routine with spa sessions to relieve stress, muscle tension, and enjoy mental benefits. Disconnect and rejuvenate in warm water.
Spend time together, submerged in warm water. The spa is a secluded and secure area where individuals can unwind, lower their defenses, and engage in significant discussions and memorable experiences with loved ones.
Pause and admire stunning sunsets, starry nights, snowfall, autumn foliage, and more. A spa offers a secluded sanctuary just outside your door. Embrace the beauty of nature often overlooked.
Energy-Saving Pools - The focus is on top-notch insulation and efficient circulation pumps. Premium hot tubs from specialized retailers prove to be more economical in long-term use than inexpensive pools. A key highlight of our premium pools is the reduced energy expenses achieved through technological advancements.Despite climbing electricity costs, the monthly energy expenses stand at around €70 to €80. Our manufacturer, with over 40 years of leadership, engineers top-notch energy-efficient pools while maintaining powerful massage functionality.
Indoor spas, as the name suggests, are designed for bathroom installation, connected directly to the water supply and drainage systems. Each time the spa is used, it is filled with water and drained afterward. The massage options in indoor spas are usually limited by the spa shell's spray capabilities and ergonomics.
In contrast, outdoor spas, also known as American spas or hottubs, function similarly to year-round pools, where water remains in the tub and is always ready for use. Outdoor spas can also be installed indoors, such as in a wellness room or living area, provided there is enough space for installation.
Indoor and outdoor spas serve different purposes, offering unique functions, effects, and requirements. One thing is clear: once you start using an outdoor spa, your indoor bathroom hot tub may soon be relegated to a decorative display piece.
Operating a spa involves various costs, including daily energy and electricity expenses, periodic costs for water when refilling, monthly expenses for water treatment, and maintenance costs such as replacing filter cartridges every two years and cushions or the cover every 3 to 6 years. While these expenses can be managed, and some costs do not occur regularly, it is essential to consider them in the overall budget.
A common question is: How much electricity does a spa actually consume? For years, the industry has simplified the answer to "€1/day," even as electricity prices have risen. Though straightforward, this answer doesn't account for all variables affecting energy consumption, which include:
- Location: Is the hot tub indoors, in the garden, or on the terrace?
- Size and Water Volume: How large is the tub and how much water does it hold?
- Exposure to Wind: How exposed is the tub to wind?
- Usage Frequency: How often and by how many people is the hot tub used?
- Climatic Conditions: What is the typical weather like in the location?
- Protection: How well is the hot tub covered and protected when not in use?
These considerations play a significant role in determining a spa's actual energy consumption and can significantly impact the overall operational costs.
Heating Performance Topic: A 1000W heater might theoretically consume less electricity due to its lower power, but it takes longer to heat the water. More powerful heaters use the same amount of electricity overall but heat the water faster and help maintain the desired temperature during your bath, preventing any drop in warmth.
Air Jets Topic: Air jets cool the water during operation, provide minimal massage benefits, and lead to increased heating costs due to the cooling effect.
Cover Topic: Since heat rises, a strong cover is essential for reducing energy consumption. The seam is a critical weak point, so continuous tabs along the seam are crucial. While a seamless design may require more careful placement of the cover around curves, it ensures a snug fit and optimal insulation, minimizing heat loss.
Insulation Topic: On one hand, special foils along the inside of the cladding reflect heat inwards and cold outwards. On the other hand, many pools are foamed – but the question is, how much? Premium pools have full foam insulation, which achieves optimal insulation and also ensures quiet operation and secures hose lines.
Circulation Topic: Which pump handles the continuous circulation of water: a two-stage pump consuming 400 to 700 kW/h or a dedicated circulation pump with less than 100W? Additionally, it is important to consider whether the circulation pump is programmable or if it operates continuously for 24 hours, as this can significantly impact energy efficiency.
Pump Performance Topic: A 3 HP massage pump consumes slightly more electricity than a 1.5 HP pump. However, considering the time factor, this difference in consumption is negligible. The possibility of a powerful massage from a strong massage pump is therefore more significant.

A sheltered spot near the house, especially one protected from the wind, is ideal for your spa. Without a roof over the pool, you can enjoy an unobstructed view of the stars, even at -20°C, while relaxing in your private spa. In the height of summer, an evening whirl in 36°C water offers unparalleled relaxation.
Our spas are designed for year-round use, featuring full foam insulation to minimize electricity costs during colder months. Equipped with a powerful 3 kW heater, they ensure that water stays warm during extended winter soaks and can even increase in temperature if needed.
The number of seats in a spa depends on its size, the chosen model, and local conditions. More massage spots do not necessarily translate to more guest space. Typically, you start by comparing the spa size to a standard bathroom bathtub. From there, you might consider a slightly larger three-seater, often with a lounger, offering more space than a regular bathtub for you and a partner.
The true spa experience comes when you can stretch out comfortably in the corner spots, letting the jets massage your shoulders. The buoyancy of the water enhances your ability to stretch and enjoy a comprehensive body experience, making the spa both fun and relaxing.
Contrary to popular belief, a smaller spa is not always cheaper. The price largely reflects the features, jetting and motorization, insulation quality, and craftsmanship.
