Our Hot Tub Buying Guide Can Help You Make the Right Decision When Buying a Hot Tub!

Bob Dapper, owner of Royal Spa and graduate of Purdue’s School of Engineering, has over 40 years of experience designing and manufacturing hot tubs and spas.

Here are Bob’s four key things to consider before you buy your hot tub…

1

Always Buy a Spa That Has a Non-Computer Control System

  • There is nothing on a spa that requires a computer to operate
  • The only one who benefits from spa computers is the repairman

2

Always Avoid Buying a Spa with a 2-Speed Pump

  • 2-Speed Pumps are noisy when you’re trying to relax in the spa and can be heard inside the house
  • They overheat the water during the summer
  • They are more expensive to operate

3

Always Buy a Spa That Circulates the Water All of the Time

  • Stagnant water is unhealthy
  • Stagnant water requries more maintenance (More chemicals & more time)
  • Turning a pump off and on reduces the pump life

4

Always Buy a Spa that Pushes the Water through the Filter

  • No correctly engineered water filtration systems sucks water through the filter (It’s called a pump not a sucker!)
  • Suction type filters require more cleaning maintenance and expense

5

Always Buy A SPa That is engineered to use Epsom Salt

  • Muscle relaxation: Soaking in a hot tub with Epsom salt helps ease muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain from sore muscles.

  • Stress reduction: The magnesium in Epsom salt promotes relaxation combined with the soothing warmth and hydrotherapy of a Royal Spa hot tub.

  • Improved sleep: The calming effects of Epsom salt and a Royal Spa hot tub help you unwind and prepare your body for a restful night’s sleep.

  • Detoxification: Epsom salt can help draw toxins from your body, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized.

  • Skin health: Epsom salt is known to soothe skin irritations and soften rough skin, leaving you feeling smooth and refreshed.
