Worth what, exactly?
As promised, this article encourages you to consider worth from another perspective beyond cost. Worth can be attributed to many things. Are they worth the cost? The maintenance? The monthly expenses? The hassle of a lesser quality hot tub?
Another way to look at the worth of a hot tub is to consider its value as well as the many ways that a high-quality hot tub can enhance your life. Perhaps ask yourself, “Are hot tubs worth the time spent with family, friends, and loved ones?” or “Are hot tubs worth my peace of mind, the boost to my mental health, and my overall wellness?” Perhaps the more important question to answer pose is, “Aren’t I worth it?”
As you ask yourself the many questions that are associated with a large investment such as a hot tub, it’s important to consider the many benefits of a hot tub. Just a few of these include:
- Comfort and relaxation
- Stress relief
- Recovery
- Bonding with family and loved ones
- Entertainment and socialization
A spa in your home or backyard can serve as a place where you can go to indulge in some much-deserved downtime after a long and stressful week. It can be your at-home getaway where you can forget about all the stresses of your life and simply sit back, relax, and let your mind unwind. It can also serve as an ideal part of your wellness routine and can boost your mental health.
There are countless reasons why a hot tub might be worth it to you. Those reasons are highly personal and individualized. When contemplating why you want a hot tub and deciding if the investment will be worth it to you, it’s a good idea to make a list of your priorities when it comes to your dream hot tub.
You may also want to ask yourself a few questions to help you narrow down your decision such as:
- How many people will be using my hot tub?
- Where will I have my hot tub placed? Will it be indoors or outside?
- What type of foundation do I have to support my hot tub?
- How much space do I have to accommodate a hot tub?
- Do I want my hot tub for solo hydrotherapy, for family connection, or for socializing with friends?
- What is my hot tub budget?
- What type of seating do I want? Do I want open seating or a lounger, or both?
Before you purchase a hot tub, an important part of your journey to hot tub ownership will be to visit your local authorized spa dealer. Actually seeing and touching various brands and models can give you a clearer picture of the hot tub you want to make your own. You can also speak directly to a knowledgeable dealer who can help you determine the brand and model that best fits your wish list.
Most spa showrooms also provide the opportunity for you to perform a wet test on models that you like best. This way you can see them when they are filled and operating. You can get in, see how you “fit” in the seats and the loungers and even get a demonstration of how the hot tub operates. This is vital because once you get your hot tub home, you’ll want to feel confident that you know how to properly operate it. Proper operation, use, care, and maintenance are essential for preserving the life of your hot tub and reaping the many benefits of hot tub ownership for many years to come.
