Valentine’s Day Hot Tub: Hot Tubbing Together Keeps Intimacy Alive

Here’s a timely message for Valentine’s Day. Hot tubbing keeps intimacy alive. It can be nearly impossible to carve out alone time with your spouse or significant other.  Ever had the experience of trying to set up a date with your spouse with both of your calendars open? That may be hard in many two-career busy lives, but almost everyone can make time for a relaxing soak together even if it’s only 15-20 minutes.

“Touch in that barrier-free water absolutely increases desire, sexuality and communication,” Mantell says, adding that he often prescribes a hot-tub soak for couples in marriage counseling. “Nobody has an argument in a hot tub. People relax, they laugh, and the playfulness comes out.”

The soothing effects of the hot tub and the hum of the jets allow you to communicate better and enjoy each other. “There’s no other place that has the physiological [effect] of breaking down the social barriers that exist between people,” Mantell says. “It literally relaxes you psychologically.”

I’ve heard from many of our Olympic Hot Tub customers that  having a hot tub saved their marriage. Take a tip from hot tub owners and Dr. Mantell:  soak in your hot tub tonight to celebrate Valentine’s Day!

Thanks to Pool & Spa News for the interview with Dr. Mantell.

How to Buy A Spa or Hot Tub: Best Advice: Don’t Buy a Hot Tub Online

We’ve been hearing from more and more customers about their woes and troubles with hot tubs they purchased on line.  In fact, our spa delivery service has picked up 36 Costco tubs in the past year because the purchasers’ were not happy! Number of hot tubs returned by Olympic Hot Tub Company customers last year: zero. Here’s an email from one of our customers who bought an online hot tub, regretted it, then came to Olympic:

“Don at Olympic Hot Tub Company was our salesman–he was great. We were in the showroom for several hours and he answered all our questions. He even took the panel off the tub so we could look inside. This tub is replacing a new Costco tub that was returned due to malfunction and we really wanted to get the best “fit”. Don was excellent, knowledgeable and very warm/polite. Thank you!”
–Chris & Nichole Sargent, 2009 Hot Spot LaPalma

In the long run, it’s not about getting the cheapest price, but the best value for your money.  Here’s another online story from one of our sales staff:

“A customer was going to buy a spa online from Costco, but a friend recommended that he visit our store before he ordered it. After shopping at Olympic and understanding the difference between what he was considering and the quality of Hot Spring, he ordered a Vanguard Hot Spring Spa with an ACE Salt Water Care System-a Hot Spring exclusive for salt water care. Yes, Costco customers are also looking for the best product, it just so happens in this case they don’t have it.”

Why take a chance online?

1. Go to a local showroom where you can see what you’re buying.

2. Take a test soak to determine the best fit for you.

3. Talk to an expert and have a lifetime of hot tub bliss!

4. Get a real warranty backed by a manufacturer with a great track record AND  with service done by the local dealer-not a 3rd party.

5. And, have your hot tub delivered by professionals who will set it in place for you and show you how to use it.

Take it from people who’ve bought a hot tub on line: the savings are NOT there. The hassles are!

“I Feel Better, Look Better, Lost Weight, Have More Energy” Thanks to my Infrared Sauna. One Owner’s Story

Here’s a great email from Mark , Sales Associate in our Olympic Issaquah store. He shares his journey from skeptic to infrared sauna owner and lists all of the benefits he’s accrued by owning one. His story is so typical of our Olympic sauna buyers. They’ve searched for better health and avoidance of the bodily decline that starts to occur in one’s 40′s and, like Mark, found the answer to be an infrared sauna.   Read on. It’s inspirational!

Hello Alice:

I’ve always been athletic and conscious of my body and have lived a healthy lifestyle since I was a teenager.  Exercise and eating healthy were and still are important to me.  I noticed a change in my body when I turned 40 years old and I began to realize that exercising and diet were not enough. I started noticing my body took longer to recuperate from even just light exercise and some of the daily strains we all put on ourselves.  And of course I noticed feeling differently when I used certain medications if I wasn’t feeling good, salty food, an extra glass of wine with a big meal, and much more. I felt like I had less energy and more drained during the day, lethargic, and just more toxic than ever before. I wondered why this was happening to me since I had always been so health conscious, but I just kind of chalked it up to getting older.

Then one day I was having a discussion with a gentleman and he told me about his experience with his own “infrared sauna”.  He went on to tell me about all the benefits he obtained from just taking a 30 minute session a day – significantly reduced his lower back pain he had had from a car accident; loosened him up prior to exercising, loss of weight and 500 calories he burned per session, better sleep, and really the fact that he felt 10 years younger every time he took one.

Now you would think at this point I would have done something about it since his situation was very close to mine, and I could really relate.  Over the next year I talked to others, and there were many, that had purchased their own infrared sauna and told me about all the benefits they obtained from using one.  I did a lot of research and asked a lot of questions, and I have never found anything bad or negative about infrared saunas, people love them.

So finally about 2 years ago I purchased one and put it in my own home and I’ve been absolutely sold on all the amazing benefits that I’ve received since.  I look better.  I feel better. I have much more energy.  I’ve lost weight. My aches and pains have diminished. My skin looks fantastic. I could go on and on. Plus it’s fun to take an infrared sauna session, it’s relaxing and peaceful, and I even have a big screen TV right outside my infrared sauna.  I watch a movie while I’m in my sauna, it’s like exercising without doing anything at all.

I personally believe everyone should have an infrared sauna in America.  They are truly amazing wellness machines.  Please do yourself a favor and go try one or buy one, then you will see for yourself what the benefits are.

Warm regards
Mark

What’s Hot in Hot Tubs? Salt Water! Top 7 Reasons Why a Salt Water Hot Tub is the Way to Go!

Have you heard about salt water hot tubs?  They’re the hottest thing in the hot tub world. And, the ACE Salt Water  System for Hot Spring Spas and Limelight Hot Tubs is salt water perfection! Our Oympic Hot Tub Company customers have been snapping up these systems because they understand the value of having hot tub water care that is simple!  66% of all Hot Spring Spas are being sold with the ACE system!!

The sad thing is that there are people who are not buying hot tubs because they still think that adding chlorine every day, using a test kit, trying to balance the water with pH up and down and all sorts of other products is the way it has to be. WRONG! The NEW ACE Salt Water Sanitizing System has taken hot tub water care a quantum leap into the future.  Hands down ACE makes hot tub water care easy, safe, cost-effective, environmentally responsible, natural, and, just plain, enjoyable. In other words, everything you want for your hot tub care!!

The ACE SALT Water Sanitizing System uses a diamond electrode to automatically generate natural cleaning power using salt and water.  This system is only available on Hot Spring Spas and Limelight Hot Tubs.  Here are the top 7 reasons why salt water with the ACE system is the way to go:

1. Water is softer, cleaner. Looks, feels and smells fresh. No more cloudy water or dank odors.

2. Water is sparkling clean which means sanitary and safe for you and your family.

3. You’ll have fewer bottled products to buy, measure, pour and worry about.

4. You’ll save time because it’s more hands free.

5. You’ll own a water care system that’s the ONLY easy system on the market today.  It’s automated and more hands-free. One glance tells you it’s working!

6. You’ll eliminate dry skin, irritated eyes and chlorine odors. A huge bonus for children and those with sensitive skin (just about everyone these days!).

7. It’s environmentally safe and natural. You’ll have greater peace of mind knowing you’re not bathing in a vat of chemicals. The ACE system generates the precise amount of cleaners your Hot Spring Spa or Limelight Hot Tub requires based on its size and your use level. Since there are no excess chemicals, which often occur with manual dosing, your spa water should last longer between changes. That conserves water and saves you money. When you do drain your spa, the water has less impact on the environment because only salt has been added to the balanced water.

If you don’t have an ACE Salt Water Sanitizing System, you’re working too hard on hot tub care  and NOT getting the clean water and soft skin you should demand. Come into any Olympic Hot Tub Company location for a free demonstration.

RES EST SERVAS VOLUPTAS. Pleasure is serious business.
