If you’re living in a Houston home with a hot tub that means either you had it installed or you inherited the tub from the previous owner. If that hot tub was once in working order and you had a chance to dip into the warm waters then you know how soothing and relaxing that can be. Perhaps it’s time to swap out that old hot tub for new, improved model. As you go shopping for a hot tub you’re going to run across variations of a spa, hot tub, Jacuzzi or a whirlpool.What would be the best choice for you?
A spa is referred to a contain water tub that has several heated power jets that blast muscle relaxing streams of water. The typical spa is made out of either fiberglass or acrylic with the acrylic version offering up a longer life. Traditionally hot tubs are made of wood with a kind of liner inside to hold the water. You can still have the same kind of powerful jet action in a hot tub that you would get in a spa but without the contoured seating. As for the whirlpool this has less to do with the specific brand as it does with the specific action. Although you might refer to this as a Jacuzzi, that is actually the brand name of a company that makes whirlpool baths. You can get that same whirlpool action in any hot tub.
You also have a choice of placement for your new hot tub. Just like a swimming pool this can either be above ground or built into the ground. With built-in pools many homeowners opt to have a hot tub built right on as an extension of the pool. Obviously this would mean the hot tub is less about wood and more about concrete. There are some folks that even have a hot tub set up indoors. If you’re considering this option it makes more sense to have this in a basement or ground floor. Either way should always check with the constructional engineer first before installing.
A hot tub is made hot either through electric powered heaters or gas heaters. They also come equipped with underwater lights and seating arrangements several folks. The bigger the hot tub the bigger the hot tub party!
Before you lock down that new hot tub you’re going to have to get rid of the old version. This can be easily accomplished by hiring a junk hauling company like Junk King Houston that specializes in hot tub disposal. There are many moving parts in a hot especially a freestanding one. The junk hauling team will have to dismantle the outer frame, take apart the motor, and break down the tub itself. This is definitely not a one-man operation. It’s also going to require a rather large truck to cart off all the disassembled pieces. You could accomplish this on your own but it will mean loading up your own car or truck with the scraps of the hot tub and take it to the nearest landfill. Do you even know where landfill is around Houston? It’s best to leave it to the pros.
