The gentleman in the little video is my late grandfather-in-law at age 95. He said, "I never thought life could be THIS good", after his first experience in our hot tub.

If you’ve never experienced soaking in a spa hot tub you don’t know what "living" is like.

My husband built an enclosure (much like a gazebo) for our 8-person hot tub a number of years ago, off from our deck. We would regularly soak in the hot tub before bed, no matter what the weather.

You can soak in a hot tub in freezing cold or falling snow and stay perfectly cozy and comfortable. The heat goes into your bones and you can feel the warmth for at least 30 minutes after leaving the hot tub. It really sets the scene for a good night’s sleep.

In the heat of summer, turn the spa heat off or down to enjoy refreshing cool water!

The benefits of owning a hot tub in your backyard are many:

• Reduces blood pressure by eliminating stress
• Soaking 30 minutes has been known to lower blood sugar
• Reduces muscle and joint stiffness, ache and pain
• Provides romantic emotions
• Allows for pleasant social gatherings
