After a long cold winter, Summer is finally on its way and it’s time to get ready to enjoy some warmer weather at last.
As the gloves and winter coats get stored away for a few months at least, it is now the perfect moment to get outside and start enjoying yourself.
The summer is when most of us most enjoy partaking in outdoor activities, and one of the most enjoyable of these is spending some time in your hot tub.
At first, this may seem quite a strange concept, using a hot tub in the one season where extra outdoor heat is not required, but with the right adaptations, your tub can become a fantastic asset to have 365 days of the year.
In this article, we are going to explore some of the best ways to enjoy your hot tub throughout the entire summer.
Even on the warmest of summer days, there will be a significant drop in temperature once the sun goes down and a late night soak can be a great way to relax and refresh.
Use your tub at night
As well as creating a more comfortable experience, there are many benefits to taking a dip in your hot tub in the evening.
Hot tubs help to reduce the stress of a hard day’s work releasing tension and preparing you for a peaceful night’s sleep.
Hot tubs Scotland are brilliant for treating sore and aching muscles and given that many of us are more active during the summer, taking on hobbies such as hiking, tennis, golf, and other physical activities, the recuperation benefits of a hot tub will never be more useful than at this time.
Use your tub as a ‘cool pool’
Despite their name, hot tubs do not necessarily have to be kept at a high temperature at all times.
Turning off the heating element of your hot tub or setting the thermometer below normal human body temperature (37.5°C) can transform your tub into a ‘cool pool’ letting you cool off from the heat of the outside air.
If you intend to use your tub for this purpose, make sure that you purchase a highly insulated cover as otherwise the sun’s rays will heat the water themselves, compromising the ability of your spa to maintain a pleasant temperature.
At Bubble Box you are industry leaders in this regard, offering highly energy efficient Energy Saving Covers for our tubs that are up to 130mm in thickness, and make regulation your tub’s temperature extremely simple.
Have a party
Having had several years of restrictions, this summer is the perfect time to get social again and host your friends and family for a BBQ or drinks party in your garden.
A hot tub is a fantastic hub for social events in the summer, allowing guests to have a soak whilst basking in the warm weather.
Many hot tubs come with features that can take your event to the next level such as Bluetooth speakers, flashing lights, and jacuzzi modes.
At Bubble Box, we are proud to offer a fantastic Bluetooth surround sound system that can be fitted to all our Aquavia spas, comprised of two high quality speakers and a subwoofer.
This system can be controlled by several mobile devices at once, making it the perfect way to entertain your guests during a summer celebration.
Allergy Relief
The summer is a welcome relief from the winter cold but one thing that is not so welcome is the return of summer hay fever and allergies.
You may be surprised to hear that a hot tub is actually an excellent way to tackle the symptoms of allergies, with the natural steam helping to soothe your sore throat and clear your nose.
This is brilliant for people who are normally unable to fully enjoy the joys of being outside in the summer, allowing them to relax with a lower risk of hay fever flare ups ruining their experience.
Let it Rain
Normally the start of a downpour would be the signal to move back indoors and stop enjoying your outdoor space.
With a hot tub in your garden, this doesn’t need to be the case, as sitting in a nice warm tub whilst rain falls can be a very pleasant and refreshing experience.
This means that not only can a hot tub still be used during the summer, but they actually help you to make more use of the warm temperatures, letting you enjoy your outdoor space whatever the weather.
