Spice Up Your Soak with Smelly Stuff

Heighten your hot tub soak with aromatherapy

We all know that soaking in a hot tub makes you feel good, but have you ever given much thought to making your soak smell good?

Olfaction is the official term we know as our sense of smell. You can certainly increase your olfactory pleasure while soaking in your tub by adding aromatherapy products. There are many types of aromatherapy products available in the marketplace today. Some are made with Essential oils or other organic compounds. It is believed that aromatherapy can alter your mood, improve cognitive function… even have positive impacts on your overall health.

We offer a number of terrific olfactory-stirring aromas for the hot tub with Spazazz Crystals. Containing a natural blend of minerals, herbs & botanicals, adding Spazazz to your soak can help hydrate your skin, soothe sore muscles, and help alleviate tension & stress. And besides that, it will just smell great!

A few of our favorites: Energize yourself with Pomegranate; Verbena Lime Coconut will awaken your senses; and Lavender Palmarosa will enhance relaxation. Try one tonight!

Celebrate Earth Day!

Celebrate Earth Day on April 22nd by…soaking in a hot tub!

Friday, April 22nd is the day set aside in 2011 to celebrate Earth Day, meant to heighten awareness of the gift of our planet’s natural environment. Founded in 1970 in the U.S., Earth Day has grown into a globally recognized date, now celebrated in more than 175 countries.

This year, Oregon Hot Tub hopes you’ll make soaking in a Hot Spring Spa part of your Earth Day celebration. Why? Consider these startling statistics:

  • According to the Water Systems Council, soaking in a bathtub averages 50 gallons for each use; taking a 10 minute shower can use even more—50-100 gallons for each shower!

Our most popular Hot Spring Spa, the Vanguard holds 400 gallons of water. With our advanced water care systems and outstanding filtration, you can usually leave the water in a Hot Spring Spa for at least six months before draining and refilling with a fresh supply!

Take a bath three times per week for six months and you’ll likely use 3,600 gallons of water! You could enjoy a soak in a Vanguard every night of the week and save 3,200 gallons of water…that’s quite simply good math.

Happy Earth Day!

Energy Efficiency in a Hot Spring Spa

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

The ultra energy efficient Hot Spring Spa

As we gear up for Earth Day this week, which is a day designated to highlight our world and ways we can conserve its gifts to us, I came across a stunning statistic on electrical consumption for hot tubs, according to Valley Electrical Association, Inc., based in Pahrump, Nevada.

According to their Online Usage Calculator, they feel you should dedicate 600 kWh of energy to electrical consumption of a hot tub!

Fortunately for Oregon Hot Tub, we chose to become a dealer for Hot Spring Spas. Since its beginnings in 1977, Hot Spring has focused on offering the best hot tub the industry has to offer with an emphasis on ease of use and energy efficiency.

Things that help make Hot Spring the most energy efficient hot tub available today? Multiple layers of high density foam, a dedicated pump to heat and clean the water quietly (using less power than a 75 watt light bulb), a heat induction system designed to infuse excess heat created by the jet pumps back into the water through the jets, and LED lighting that uses a fraction of the power typical hot tub lighting uses. All these things are just a hint at what go into making our hot tubs true energy-saving powerhouses.

The end result? A Hot Spring Spa will operate for a third of the cost Valley Electrical Association expects the average hot tub to use! Using Portland General Electric’s average kWh rate of about 7.1 cents, that means a mid-sized Hot Spring Spa will easily cost less than $17.00 per month—less than the cost of a week’s worth of lattes, and far less than the cost of a tank of gas!

Hot Spring is known as the Earth Smart & Energy Smart hot tub…it’s clear why!

Check back in later this week on Earth Day and read about the terrific water savings you’ll enjoy by owning a Hot Spring Spa from Oregon Hot Tub.
