Are you looking to enhance your inflatable hot tub experience? With the right accessories, you can transform your backyard into a luxurious and relaxing oasis. This guide covers essential and innovative inflatable spa accessories to elevate your hot tub experience, from must-have maintenance tools to ambiance-enhancing additions.
Essential Accessories
Hot Tub Covers
A hot tub cover is the foremost of all necessary hot tub accessories. It is a must-have for every hot tub. Hot tub covers are at the top of the list.
Cover Lifters
Remove your hot tub cover with ease with a cover lifter. They have only one moving part and a built-in stop mechanism, so installation is a breeze. Our guide discusses three levels of spa cover lifts: manual, hydraulic, and automatic.
Hot Tub Steps
Another must-have are hot tub steps! These ensure that entering and exiting your hot tub is a graceful endeavor. They can help to prevent falls, and some even come with a detachable spa rail. If you’re going to invest in steps for your hot tub, you could use that space for storage. For example, the Confer steps are outdoor-friendly step requires some assembly upon arrival and features a weather-proof, UV-resistant design.
Spa Pillows
Relaxing in your hot tub with spa pillows is much easier.
Enhancing Comfort and Convenience
Bath Mats
When you get out of the hot tub, you don’t want to slip. A quick-drying bath mat is recommended. It’s not made specifically for hot tubs, but it’ll do the trick. The diatomaceous earth bath mat is a soft, fast-absorbing rug that dries quickly, perfect for stepping out of showers, baths, or hot tubs.
Towel Warmers
If you really want to feel like you’re relaxing in a 5-star hotel hot tub, get yourself a towel warmer. It’ll change your life! This ultra-large insulated bucket can warm up to two oversized bath towels or robes, featuring four timer settings for 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes with automatic shut-off. A warm towel will significantly enhance your hot tubing experience.
Handrails
What is great about a particular handrail is you don’t have to drill into your hot tub to install it. A high-quality aluminum handrail, with its durable powder-coated finish, is rust and corrosion-resistant, ensuring longevity even in humid environments.
Booster Seats
If you’re on the shorter side or you have kids, this is the perfect booster seat for your hot tub. This 100% polyester cushion features an ergonomic U-shaped design for comfortable, long-duration seating.
Fast-Absorbing Bath Towels
Drying off fast after hot tubbing is crucial, especially when it’s cold out. Investing in a few fast-absorbing bath towels is recommended. Experience a luxurious upgrade to your hot tub routine.
Cantilever Umbrella
If your hot tub is always in direct sunlight, it can be hard to soak comfortably during the day. A Cantilever Umbrella is great and the base can be filled with water.
Entertainment and Ambiance
Bluetooth Speakers
Many people recommend FLOATING Bluetooth speakers as one of the best spa accessories. However, it may be better to invest in a Bluetooth speaker that can be used anywhere (including near your hot tub). My favorite speaker is the Bose Soundlink, which is waterproof and affordable. This portable Bluetooth speaker delivers immersive audio with advanced technology, automatically optimizing sound in any environment.
Weatherproof TV
This waterproof outdoor TV works in any weather and is bright enough to see clearly in direct sunlight.
Floating Games
Floating games are great for parties or family nights!
Underwater Disco Lighting
There’s soothing hot tub lighting, and then there’s underwater disco lighting.
Hot Tub Bar Refreshment Float
A hot tub bar refreshment float provides the opportunity to enjoy a bite to eat along with a hydrating beverage.
Inflatable Drink Holder Floats
Inflatable drink holder floats come in all kinds of whimsical styles, from flamingos to palm trees, to unicorns!
Illuminated Floating Speaker
An illuminated floating speaker provides floating music and ambiance. You just can’t beat that.
Maintenance and Care
Hot Tub Chemicals
Adding hot tub chemicals in plug and play hot tubs may seem a little daunting when you are new to this. Once you fill your tub with fresh water, you bring a water sample into the hot tub place, in which they will test the water, and give you a print out on what you need to add to your water. Always add one chemical at a time. Buf if things go wrong, it’s really not that big of a deal to drain the tub and start over again. You’ll lose about 24 hours of tub time for a water change.
Filter Cartridges and Cleaning Tools
Take the dirty work out of hot tub maintenance with a wide variety of accessories including filter cartridges, vacuums, cleaning tools, chemicals and more.
Hot Tub Filter Cleaner
Cleaning tools will allow for a hot tub filter cleaner.
Setting Up Your Inflatable Hot Tub
Location
Where you place plug and play hot tubs will be entirely dependent on your yard configuration, how easily you wish to access it, and what kind of view you want! A good idea is to position the tub half on and half off the sidewalk so the house could weather-protect the location, the tub is easier to access from the sidewalk and this positioning offered more privacy.
Deck
The tub is also currently sitting on a white 8′ x 10′ heavyweight tarp, which eventually will get changed out to some kind of hot tub pad for more efficient insulation, and so we can see more of the deck! However the deck on which it sits is a total gamechanger! It was an easy build. Solar lawn lights at the corners of the tub deck looks very pretty at night!
Hot Tub Chlorine Floater
In addition to adding chemicals, it is important to also use a hot tub chlorine floater.
Simple Shelf
One added feature that really helped was the simple shelf behind the tub that runs along the wall.
Foot Bath
One must-get accessory for any hot tub is a foot bath of some sort.
Temperature
The temperature of the water for inflatable hot tubs will be dependent on when you like to use it, how long you like to stay in it and what your own preferences are. When using the hot tub during a warm summer day, a really comfortable yet still refreshing temperature appears to be about 86 degrees. It feels like a comfortable heated pool.
Inflation
There will be times when you’ll want to increase or decrease the inflation of the tub.
Hot Tub Inflatable Bladder
A hot tub inflatable bladder appears to be a popular choice to elevate the cover from inside. You inflate the bladder, place it on the water, then zip the cover up. The bladders promise to help hold in the heat more efficiently too.
