Choosing A Wooden Hot Tub

If you are looking to buy a Wooden or a plastic Hot Tub perhaps for your roof terrace or your garden there is an outstanding choice.

The original Hot Tubs made hundreds of years ago were circular and made out of wood like very large beer barrels and today some modern acrylic Hot Tubs are produced in that shape also. These round Hot Tubs provide a great deep Tub with plenty of Jets and a great Hydro massage effect.

However one can also get this from a modern cedar Hot Tub one that is made from real natural Canadian Cedar. Circular Hot tubs either made of Acrylic or Cedar are great for friends and the family to get together and have a chat.

The combination of warm water with, massage Jets and buoyancy helps to provide a pleasant sensation that not only is able to bring some relief to muscles & joints but is also able to relax the mind, body and spirit.

Modern Hot Tubs have an increasing number of more powerful jets strategically placed for maximum benefit; these Jets offer supreme therapeutic support in a carefree setting. This helps to increase blood flow and aid circulation, reducing muscle strain and soreness, and helping to relieve pressure and tension throughout your body. Calculated buoyancy (and a corresponding feeling of weightlessness) blends perfectly with swirling water to deliver a relaxing warm soak with added healing properties. In fact, you will feel noticeably better in just 20 minutes.

Hydrotherapy & Hydro massage does help in many ways to improve ones health. Not only do the warm, bubbling waters help melt away tension and strain, but they also provide a gentle and effective massage - targeting your joints and muscles, promoting a better night's sleep and combating the pain of arthritis and other muscle-related injuries.

Safe, enjoyable and very effective for the whole family, hydrotherapy and the health benefits of a Hot Tub will help everyone enjoy a much more active lifestyle. Modern Hot Tubs originate back in time just over half a century ago (1954) when the Jacuzzi brothers invented a portable whirlpool pump (simply as I understand it because one of their relatives had arthritis) and from there on in the Hot Tub Industry has not looked back.

From about that time the trend has been for plastic Hot Tubs either made in glass fibre and more recently in Acrylic which is molded by thermo-forming into the shapes that we see today. Both these materials allow for a high degree of molding and shape and they are very good for ease of maintenance. They also do provide an outstanding hydro-therapy coupled with a pleasant hydro massage. However, these materials are not from nature as Timber is and of course being man made they lack any kind of scent or smell. The man made materials just do not produce any form of natural aroma.

For hundreds of centuries before the advent of modern technology and plastics, wood was the material used in making hot tubs. There really was not any other alternative choice of material available. However, certain types of wood, similar to wooden boat construction automatically lent themselves to the overall hot tub experience. The woods that spring to mind are Oak and Cedar. Both these woods expand when wet which forms a better waterproof seal for the tub.
