Get Your Yard Ready
With your Strong Spas hot tub selected, it’s time to prepare your yard for installation. Ensure there’s enough space, easy access for delivery, and a dedicated outlet for the hot tub. Make sure the placement won’t block access to any household utilities, ensuring a smooth setup for your new backyard centerpiece.
Not All
Spas are Alike
Hot tubs generally fall into two categories: portable and permanent. Portable hot tubs are self-contained units that sit above ground, while permanent hot tubs are typically built into the ground, often using materials like cement.
At Strong Spas, we specialize in portable hot tubs that offer convenience without the need for costly, permanent installation. Our portable models make maintenance and servicing much easier. Plus, with our exclusive DURA-BASE® foundation, you don’t need to worry about installing a concrete pad. Most Strong Spas can be placed on any stable, level surface, unlike many other brands that require additional pad purchases.
Hot Tub Capacity
When buying a hot tub, size matters. Choose a hot tub that fits both your family and your space. Consider how many people will be using it regularly, and make sure the model you choose has the capacity to accommodate everyone. Don’t forget to measure your available outdoor space to ensure a comfortable fit. Strong Spas offers a range of hot tub sizes to suit different needs, whether it’s for family relaxation or entertaining friends.
Hot Tub Location
Selecting the right location for your hot tub is key. Most homeowners prefer placing their hot tubs on a deck or patio, but it’s essential to ensure the area is close to a power source and sits on a level, sturdy surface. Proper placement not only enhances your experience but also ensures long-term stability and convenience for maintenance. Strong Spas’ durable designs make it easy to install in various backyard locations.
Hot Tub Appearance
Your hot tub’s appearance should complement your outdoor living space, as part of its environment. Strong Spas offers a variety of stunning interior and exterior options, allowing you to choose the perfect color and style for your backyard. Whether you’re looking for sleek modern lines or a more traditional design, Strong Spas has customizable finishes to match your décor and elevate your outdoor relaxation area.
Hot Tub Jetting
Hot tubs typically feature three types of jet technologies, each offering a unique relaxation experience. Water jets deliver a powerful, concentrated massage that can be adjusted for your ideal comfort level. Air jets, on the other hand, provide a gentler, soothing sensation, similar to the soft bubbling of champagne. At Strong Spas, we offer a third type of jet, known as the Venturi jet, which blends both water and air for the ultimate massage experience. With this combination, you can easily control the intensity and bubbling to suit your personal preferences.
Hot Tub Seating
Choosing the right seating is essential for maximizing comfort in your hot tub. At Strong Spas, we offer multi-level seating options to accommodate users of all heights. The ideal hot tub should have deep seats that fully submerge you up to your shoulders for a soothing soak, along with higher seats that allow you to cool down when needed. Our ergonomically designed seating ensures comfort for people of all shapes and sizes, including young users.
Ease of Maintenance
A low-maintenance hot tub is key to long-term enjoyment. Strong Spas makes it easy with our advanced Ozonator System, which keeps water clean and clear for extended periods. Our DURA-LAST maintenance-free cabinetry, featured on our Premium Series, ensures your hot tub will look as good as new for years to come. Plus, Strong Spas is proud to offer the industry’s first Lifetime Cabinet Warranty, giving you peace of mind that your investment is protected for the long haul.
Energy Efficiency
Energy efficiency is crucial for keeping operating costs low. A hot tub’s ability to retain heat plays a big role in its energy consumption. Strong Spas’ ENERGY-LOK insulation, featured on our Premium Series, system is designed to trap heat within the shell and plumbing, ensuring your spa stays warm while keeping cold air out. This advanced insulation technology helps reduce energy usage, making Strong Spas an energy-efficient choice for your home.
Hot Tub Safety
Before purchasing a hot tub, ensure it meets safety standards by checking for certification from a reputable independent testing agency like UL or ETL. This certification guarantees that the hot tub has been tested for safety and performance. Additionally, always hire a licensed electrician to handle the electrical connections for your spa, ensuring a safe and proper installation.
The Ultimate Relaxation Experience
Meticulously crafted with unwavering attention to detail and the utmost quality, Iconic Spas stand as a testament to distinction, setting themselves apart from the crowd of ordinary hot tubs and spas in the market.
