Must Have Accessories for Your Hot Tub

Now that you have your new hot tub, just a few more accessories and your home spa equipment will be complete. Here is a list of hot tub accessories you might want to buy next time you pass by your home spa store:

  • A jet pump

A hot tub can become an inexpensive and relaxing home spa with a simple installation of a jet pump. A jet pump can suction the water and release it back to produce a softer therapeutic effect that improves relaxation. Although a heater will usually suffice for hot tubs, why miss out on the bubbly, tingly feeling only a jet pump can provide?

  • An ozonator

Other than the filtration system, the ozonator can help keep your water clear and clean for a long time, even with regular use. This hot tub accessory will minimize the need to replace your water too often.

  • Test kit

The test kit usually contains test strips used to determine the water’s pH level. A test kit will ensure that you maintain your water’s usability. You can check its pH level to see if the water is still fine for soaking. Maintaining a good acid-alkaline balance will also help preserve your heater coil and prevent it from getting corroded.

  • Floating thermometer

A thermometer will let you maintain the proper water temperature so you relax in your warm bath without worrying that water temperature might rise without your knowing it. High water temperature can cause hyperthermia which can lead to unconsciousness. With a water thermometer, you will be alerted about any unnecessary increase in temperature and ensure your safety.

  • Lighting

Add to the relaxing ambience by installing waterproof underwater lights to your hot tub. These lights can add to the peaceful, calming mood or enhance a lively hot tub party.

  • Thermometer

Since most hot tubs will have a built-in thermostat that will regulate water temperature, you might not think an accessory like a thermometer is necessary. However, you might want to use one just in case your thermostat breaks down. A floating thermometer can give you a good, accurate reading of the water temperature to ensure you are within safe, comfortable levels.

  • Entertainment

If you love sharing your hot tub with family and friends, why not splurge on entertainment gadgets especially designed for hot tubs? Try a mounted TV, DVD player, waterproof game cards or a floating spa radio to provide you with a more enjoyable hot tub experience. If you’re entertaining, add useful hot tub accessories such as a floating bar and side trays so you can serve fruit and juices.

‘Supersuits’ To Be Phased Out Of Swimming?

‘Supersuits’ To Be Phased Out Of Swimming?

Today Michael Phelps announced that he is interested in eradicating swimming suits out of the sport all together.

Michael Phelps recently lost his first major race for over four years when he lost a 200 meter free style race in Germany earlier this month. It is arguable to say that the swim suit Phelps wears (Speedo LZR) is not as technologicall advanced as the Arena X-Glide that his rival wears in the water.

At the same time the problem is quite specific to the sport but that is not as far into detail as we can go. For example, Phelps could of easily commented about the swimming pool chemicals not being a the correct level or the fact that the arena does not offer enough eco friendly swimming pool solutions as other places. Funnily enough these are all excuses that other swimmers have come up with in the past to cover up there loss, now is this what Phelps is doing? The competitor is so use to succeeding maybe it is time that he loses one once in a while to bring him back down to earth. After his rampant winning streak at the recent Olympics it is a novelty to see Phelps not win anything at all.

So instead of blaming the pool filters we have what I would consider a sore loser to be complaining about swim suits. Can a swimsuit make that much of a difference amoungst all of this? It is arguable to say that they can’t but we will have to see?

Phelps has commented that he is looking forward to swimming getting back to swimming. the eight time gold medal winner later added that he is looking forward to facing up against Biedermann in the summer.
There is no doubt that the Beijing Olympics have been an absolute success for Phelps but can he continue his good fortune at the London 2012?
