Hot tubs are the generic name for Jacuzzis. These tubs are basically small pools which were traditionally made with redwood and cedar. Today, they are also available in materials like glass fibre, PVC, cement, vinyl, acrylic, or steel. These hot tubs are generally characterised by jets that help in the circulation of water in the tub and above all, help in hydrotherapy which helps in the relaxation of stressed muscles. These jets create movements in the water which is often called a whirlpool effect. For hot tub hire in Canterbury, you would first have to decide on the capacity of the hot tubs before going to purchase one.
Though these tubs are portable, some people prefer fitting them into the ground or their bathrooms. In that case, however, it costs a fortune than hiring them for a week or so. If you have your mind fixed on hiring one, here is a list of things you need to consider before you hot tub hire in Canterbury:
1. Make sure you have arrangements for filtering the tub. You obviously cannot hope to pour in pails of water into the huge tub.
2. Arrange for proper sanitation facilities like chlorination or salt water treatment of the water that would be in the tub.
3. Since the water in the tub would keep whirling, you cannot fill it up with soft water. Too soft water would lead to corrosion and foaming. An ideal mix of hard and soft water is advisable.
To hire hot tubs, you might want to keep a budget of 150 to 500 pounds, depending on the size and duration of the hire. Depending on the company you choose to hire from, there is a set of packages they already have for you to choose from. Some companies will provide you with an option to hire them for two, four, seven or thirty days, and some might allow for flexible durations of hire. However, these rates shoot up to 450-500 pounds during Christmas and New Year, in particular. You might also want to consider keeping an extra 6-10 pounds as VAT. Once you have hired one, make sure you do not heat the water above 40 degrees Celsius. A lot of deaths have often been reported due to overheating of the water and also due to electrocution. If you have a member who is in her first trimester, it is advised to not allow her into the tub as it could lead to fetal damage. 37 degrees is an ideal temperature to maintain. The tubs can take up to four hours to heat up the water. In that case, you might want to consider covering the tub for faster heating.
Though Canterbury is a beautiful place near the North Sea and has a lot of waterways for aesthetic value, even then, having your own water getaway at home for a while is a good bonus too. A hot tub hire in Canterbury can definitely do the trick.
