Portable hot tubs spas are a good way of using your hot tub or Jacuzzi in the best conditions available at any time of the year.

Portable Hot Tubs Spas

Portable spa hot tubs are very useful pieces of equipment, because most hot tubs are fixed permanently or at least it would take a lot of work to shift one because they are often built into a timber or even concrete deck.

Basic portable hot tubs spas will normally accommodate up to four people at a time quite comfortably. They usually utilize between four to six water jets in order to create the bubbling, foaming, frothing water that is key to the therapeutic value of a spa and hot tub or Jacuzzi.

The tub section usually weighs around seventy pounds when empty, although there are also inflatable spas which weigh a lot less. The pump and heater unit is normally in the range of forty to fifty pounds.

A filled portable inflatable spa or Jacuzzi can weigh about two thousand pounds, so you have to bear this in mind, when you are selecting a site for portable hot tubs spas. People who live in a flat (apartment) will have to make sure that the balcony where the Jacuzzi is set up will hold that weight.

There are quite a few different kinds of portable hot tubs spas and Jacuzzis. There is a shell that will fit inside your ordinary tub or bath, but which redirects the water from the taps via high pressure pumps through nozzles on to your body for therapy and relaxation as the soothing jets envelop you.

There are cheaper versions which vary in complexity like a kind of lido or mat that you lay in your bath. The water is redirected through it and around the body; then there is a seat that you put in your bath and sit on. These are probably the least effective portable hot tubs spas and would be disappointing if it were not for their low cost. However, the advantages are that they are affordable, light and installation is simple.

Once you get away from your existing bath, there is a whole new world of portable hot tubs spas. There are inflatable spas which are very effective. You can inflate them anywhere, say the backyard, connect them up to the water supply and the power supply and hey presto! You have a portable bubble spa allowing you to relax in your outdoors in your garden.

These portable hot tubs spas can be one person or for up to six people and they are just as effective as the permanent hot tubs, although they are a little less beautiful perhaps.

There are quite a few accessories that you can use to enhance the soothing experience as you dream in your relaxing bubble spa. A typical feature is to be able to add a mineral cartridge that the water flows through in order to change the chemical and mineral properties of the water like adding mineral salts to normal bath water.
