Q: Does everyone need to winterize their hot tub?

• <div><p>No. In fact, some owners prefer to &ldquo;summerize&rdquo; their hot tubs and use them primarily over winter to enjoy the contrast of cold and hot water. It&rsquo;s possible to keep the tub filled and running year-round, and some pros may even recommend this method compared to the work and risks of a full winterization every year.</p><p>However, keeping the hot tub running will require additional resources. You&rsquo;ll use more power and more chemicals to keep it in good shape. Weigh the pros and cons of your situation before making a decision.</p></div>

Q: What temperature do you keep a hot tub at when not in use?

• <div><p>You should keep your hot tub at a constant soaking temperature of around 100 degrees Fahrenheit when the hot tub is not in use. However, you can lower that by a couple of degrees during the summer, so you don&rsquo;t feel overheated.</p></div>

Q: What should you not put in a jetted tub?

• <div><p>Using bubble bath, bath oils, bath salts, or moisturizing products that contain butters or oils can damage your jetted tub. Because of the water pump and jet mechanism, you need to be more selective with products for a jetted tub than you would for a traditional bathtub in order to keep it functioning properly and avoid expensive repairs. These products also leave residue that can feed mildew and mold, so it&rsquo;s best to avoid them.</p></div>

Q: At what temperature will hot tub pipes freeze?

• <div><p>For a fully-foamed hot tub, freezing typically occurs when the temperature drops below 28 degrees Fahrenheit<b> </b>and remains at or below this level continuously for a minimum of 36 hours. If your hot tub and pumps are still operational, however, the water circulates, and this continuous movement helps prevent freezing, even in very cold conditions. This circulation, along with the insulation provided by the foam, helps maintain the water temperature and prevent it from freezing during extended cold periods. Still, if you&rsquo;re not planning to run it regularly, be sure to winterize the hot tub properly to prevent damage from freezing.</p></div>

Q: Are hot tubs expensive to maintain?

• <div><p>Most newer hot tubs are not expensive to maintain. Hot tub maintenance costs about <b>$500 to $1,000</b> per year. You can DIY, but a pro can clean and treat your hot tub with chemicals and save you time. The biggest hot tub expenses are heating and repairs, but you can preserve your investment with regular maintenance.</p></div>

Heavenly Heat Infrared Saunas are made for the chemically sensitive. That means that our infrared saunas create an ideal, safe, and effective detoxification environment for anyone seeking to eliminate toxic substances from their body.

"I purchased a Heavenly Heat Sauna a few weeks ago . What I liked is you don?t smell any glues . I also liked its easy ( two man ) assembly. What I don?t like , in order to avoid using glues, they use pins or very thin nails. Some pins were missing and some were not beneath the surface. For the rough edges you?re provided with a small piece of sandpaper . Bot at a cost of over 5k you don?t expect to do sanding. My biggest complaint is that it takes almost an hour to get the sauna to 150 degrees. Definitely not worth the price. "
