A hot tub is a large tub or small pool full of heated water and used for soaking, relaxation, massage, or hydrotherapy. In most cases, they have jets for massage purposes. Newer models have lights and music accessories.
Hot tubs are usually heated using an electric or natural gas heater, though there are also submersible wood-fired heaters, as well as solar hot water systems. Hot tubs are also found at natural hot springs; in this case, the water may be dangerously hot and must be combined with cool water for a safe soaking temperature.
It is thought that the Egyptians were the first to use baths for therapeutic purposes as early as 2000 B.C. Evidence of actual spa (hot tub) construction also exists from Phraortes, King of Media, in 600 B.C. The earliest forms of hot tubs were simply a caldera in which sizzling stones had been placed to heat the water.
Most spas or hot tubs are now vacuum formed with a self contained spa pack. The majority of spas have all electric controls and heat source with a variety of pump sizes and numbers available. More jets, music and aerators have moved the spa into the realm of an entertainment center.
The Jacuzzi assembly plant is located in Chino, California. This plant was the first ISO 9001 certified hot tub production facility in the world. It had the capability of producing up to 300 spas per day for their domestic and export business needs. Their product line has many unique features such as patented jets, rainbow waterfalls, synthetic sun-resistant siding, stereos, ergonomic seating, triple-layered shells, full foam insulation, and a solid A.B.S. pan bottom.
Artic Spas were located in Barrie ON but for some un-disclosed reason have left and their product line has been replaced with Jacuzzi Hot tubs which has even taken over the old Arctic Spa location. There was some problems with their Ozone package and some complaints about poor service but there is no indication why the sudden departure.
