What Is The Standard Base?

Our standard base takes our frame and wraps it in a sheet of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). This provides an excellent moisture barrier, which is far superior to the painted wooden base used by many of our competitors

What Is The Base Upgrade?

Our base upgrade is a hollow, blow molded resin part that is much thicker than our standard base. The hollow space created during the blow molding process is filled with closed-cell foam insulation. This helps reduce heat loss through the floor, meaning you will use less electricity to heat your spa.

• The upgraded base is more durable and better protects the spa from damage.
• The upgraded base contains extra insulation that helps trap heat, thus saving you money in electricity.
• The upgraded base also provides a better foundation for your hot tub.

Ozonator

The first accessory you will want in your hot tub is an ozonator. The ozonator has made hot tub cleaning and maintenance much easier than before. Nearly everyone with an ozonator absolutely loves theirs and the benefits it brings. An ozonator can even save you money in the long run. An ozonator contains an ultraviolet light, and when it comes in contact with water, it converts the oxygen in the water into ozone. For those of you into chemistry, it converts O² into O³. The created ozone enters the spa through the jets and breaks down harmful bacteria, oils, suntan lotions, sweat, and other unwanted things in your spa.

People can use bromine or chlorine to clean their spa, it’s really personal preference. The prices of these chemicals can be hefty and vary depending on supply and demand. With an ozonator, you can use less of these chemicals, and an ozonator add-on is usually only a one time payment of $100 to $200 extra to have it added. Using fewer chemicals in your spa not only saves you money, but can also reduce eye, nose, or skin irritation. 

Spa Steps

When choosing hot tub accessories for your home, spa steps should be considered. People come in different shapes and sizes, and a hot tub can be short or tall depending on the person. Some people have no issue stepping over the side of a hot tub to enter it, other people struggle to get in. Some spas have started building steps into the acrylic shell of the hot tub, but that only helps on the interior of the spa. Stepping over the exterior of the spa can still be a challenge. A good set of sturdy steps that match your spa can be a blessing. It makes getting in and out of a spa much easier. Some spas have even started adding built-in stairs or stairs that fold into the spa. Steps can even make your spa look much more luxurious and elegant. If you have small children, steps can also help them get in and out of the spa. It’s important to find stairs that can support your weight and have some kind of anti-slip quality. When you’re wet and coming out of the hot tub, you don’t want to slip and fall.

Cover Lifter

One of the most popular and best accessories for a hot tub is a cover lifter. Lifting a hot tub cover by itself is not the most strenuous activity, but a cover lifter makes it much easier. It also keeps the cover off the ground and safe from damage. A cover lift attaches to your spa and supports the cover, allowing it to be opened easier. Some require drilling into the side of the spa to attach, but there are different types and brands that don’t require drilling. 

An average hot tub cover can cost between $100 and $500. Over time, a hot tub cover can break down or tear. Sometimes the vapor barrier breaks and the cover becomes heavy and moldy. The middle of the cover then starts to dip down. All of these are signs of needing a new spa cover. A cover lifter can reduce the rate at which your cover deteriorates. Most hot tub covers last 5 to 7 years, but a cover lifter can lengthen that timeframe. 

An odd thought you may not have thought of, when it comes to hot tub accessories for Winter, a cover lift is incredible. If snow falls and lands on your cover, it can damage the cover, and you need to brush it off. A cover lift gives you the ability to just lift it and the snow falls off.

The Natural Cleaner

To make caring for a spa easier, the ozonator was created. Ozone (O³) is a purifier created in nature by lightning storms and the sun’s ultraviolet rays. An ozonator is designed to replicate this process by using an ultraviolet light bulb that converts oxygen (O²) in the hot tub water into ozone. The created ozone is then pushed into the spa through the jets. When the ozone comes into contact with the water, it starts to kill those harmful bacteria, fungi, oils, suntan lotion, sweat and more.

Many people like an ozonator because it acts as a natural cleaner. An ozonator is not designed to act as your sole means of cleaning your spa. You should still use a chemical sanitizer to help clean your spa, but you can now use less. Using less chemicals can save you money and reduce any skin, eye, or nose irritation from the chemicals used. When spa shopping, you might hear people talk about “UV” or “ozone”; they’re talking about an ozonator.

The Cost

Many hot tubs are built with an ozonator or offer it as an add on to be added. It’s usually $150 to $450 to install an ozonator onto a hot tub. It’s much easier to add an ozonator to the hot tub when it’s being built versus when it’s already built. MyHotTub offers an ozonator add on for all our spas. As of the writing of this article, to add an ozonator to our resin spas is $79.99, and because more work is involved, $149.99 for our acrylic spas.

Using the same roto-molding techniques, we create drink trays and ice buckets out of resin. When you order either the drink tray or ice bucket, we produce it in the same color choice you chose for your spa. So, if you ordered a grey granite spa with an ice bucket, your ice bucket will be grey granite as well to match your spa.

There’s no drilling involved in attaching either the drink tray or ice bucket. Both use a simple male/female connection and fit into place. It’s not a clip or snap used. Each item is connected to the spa loose enough to easily remove it as you want. Don’t worry though, it’s a tight enough connection that it won’t fall off. We offer spas in different shapes and sizes. Our Luna 16 model is a hexagon shape, the Terra 20 is a rectangle, and the Corona 26 is a circle. These three shapes create different edges on the spas. Because of this, we need to make the ice bucket and drink tray in different shapes to fit these spas. The hexagon and rectangle shaped spas offer a flat edge. Alternatively, the Corona 26 being a circle, has a circular edge. We have a different mold for our drink trays and ice buckets to accommodate the circular edge. The below images showcase this better.

Why Should I Buy These Items?

Many people like to enjoy a drink while relaxing in your hot tub. Some hot tubs have built in cup holders, but not all spas do. The drink tray add-on allows you to connect the tray to the spa and now have a level surface to place a drink. Alternatively, you can drink along a snack or place a towel on the tray to dry off when you’re done. This helps create a space for entertaining family and friends. You can even buy additional drink trays to create more room for drinks.

The ice bucket add-on lets you drink ice with you to your hot tub. Because it can be easily attached and removed, you can remove it, fill it with ice, and bring it back to your hot tub and attach it. Now you can enjoy an ice-cold drink in your spa. You can also place a bottled drink in the ice tray to keep it cold, or some people use it to store a towel for later.

A hot tub can increase your inner body temperature and eventually lead to dehydration. Bringing a drink along with you for your hot tub soaks can prevent hydration. Having ice keeps your drink cold, helps to prevent dehydration, and lowers your body temperature. Most hot tub soaks should be limited to 10 to 30 minutes. Having a cold drink with you can increase the time you can spend in a hot tub. You should still monitor your health and keep hydrated though. Both the drink tray and the ice bucket let you enjoy your hot tub soak more and longer.

Like we said, people’s height differs, and this makes stepping into a hot tub more or less difficult depending on your height. For those that struggle to step into a hot tub, we offer a handistep add-on. Essentially, it’s just a pair of steps to help you get in and out of the hot tub easier. 

Do You Need The Steps?

The height of a hot tub can differ a bit depending on the model. Models like our Mesa 26 are 32 inches high, whereas the Corona 26 is 34.5 inches high. All of our acrylic spa models are 36 inches in height and are our tallest hot tubs available. Alternatively, our resin models are smaller in stature, with our Luna 16 and Terra 20 both standing at 29.5 inches tall.

All of the dimensions are listed on each product’s page under the “Highlights” section. As stated above, the heights of our spas range from 29.5 inches tall to 36 inches tall. For some people, this is an easy height to step into. For others, this is a little tall. Many children also struggle to get into a hot tub on their own accord. This is a pro and a con at the same time. On the brightside, your kids can’t get in the spa on their own. Children should always be supervised in a hot tub. On the downside, you have to help them into the spa each time. 

Not everyone will need or want the handisteps, but for some people, it’s a blessing to have. You can find hot tub steps in different colors, sizes, and materials. We offer a black set of steps to compliment every color of spa. It features a non-slip surface to prevent falls or slips.
