Is the cover easy to remove?
Yes! All spas have an easy to remove cover. Please do not let people sit on the covers or place items on top of them. They are made of Styrofoam and can be damaged easily. A replacement will cost you around $200.
How much will the spa add to my electric bill?
Based on normal usage with a 110 volt electrical connection, it will cost you about $1 a day. Cheap, huh?
Does it get wet around the spa?
Yes. It’s not from the jets, but from people splashing or getting in and out in the spa.
What type of power connection do I need?
The spas use a 110 volt standard electrical (3 prong) outlet. The outlet must be properly grounded and be within 10-18 feet of the spa location. This outlet should not have any other appliances or other items plugged in it.
Keep in mind…..Water is an excellent conductor of electricity.
Electrical shock or electrocution can occur in a spa if live electrical current (including current from a telephone) comes into contact with the water. If your spa is outdoors, stay out of it during lightening or rainstorms because of the possibility of electrocution from lightening hitting the water.
How much room does the spa need?
The spas need a minimum of 36 inches wide through any gate or other opening. You will need an area about 7′x7′ to place the spa. A patio works best.
Are spas really safe?
Yes, if used correctly! However, persons taking medications and those with physical ailments, including heart or blood pressure problems, diabetes, serious illness, and pregnant women should see the advice of their doctor before using a spa. Soaking for extended periods of time at too high a temperature can elevate the body temperature and the temperature of the internal organs past safety limits. Never use a spa after using narcotics or other drugs that may cause sleepiness, drowsiness, or raise or lower blood pressure.
With any drug or medication, consult your doctor about the potential harmful effects from combined drug use and hot water soaking.
Can children get in a spa?
Children should be supervised by an adult at all times while using the spa. EXTREME CAUTON must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by unsupervised children. Never allow children to use the spa unsupervised. If children will be using the spa, explain to them that they cannot, under any circumstances, dive or jump into the spa. While a spa may seem large and deep to a child, it is not designed for jumping or diving. Discretion is advised in allowing children to use spas at all, since their young bodies may not adjust well to the high temperatures.
Is it ok to drink alcohol while in a spa?
Alcoholic beverages or drugs should not be consumed while using the spa. BE AWARE that the use of alcoholic beverages or drugs before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning, heart attack, or injury due to passing out or falling. When is the best time to use a spa?
spas are designed to be used year round. Each season has its own benefits.
During the summer months, you can keep the temperatures in the 90′s and use the spa to cool off.
In the winter there is nothing like sitting in a spa when it’s snowing outside! We have used our personal spa when it has been zero outside. You are not cold once in the water, but your hair tends to get a bit crunchy and stiff–ok a bit frozen!
My personal favorite is when the night temps are 50-60 degrees. It’s also nice to gaze up at the stars at night while soaking. Can you find the Big Dipper?
What does it cost to rent a spa?
Our spas are currently rented by the week. Wednesday to Wednesday.
The dreammaker X-400 rents for $300 per week.
Longer times can also be arranged. Just ask us.
I’ve got a skin or body infection. Can I use a spa?
Do you want to keep your friends? Sorry, but until your infection is cleared up, no spa. Your friends do not want your infection.
How hot can I have the water in a spa?
Water temperature should not exceed 102-104 degrees F. Most people like to have the water temperature between 100-102 degrees. The cooler the water, the longer you can stay in. Higher temperatures may place a strain on the cardio-vascular system. Soaking too long can make people light headed or faint. Never soak for more than 15-20 minutes per spa visit or if you feel very hot. Leave the spa; cool your body temperature down then slowly return for another usage. Our spas are designed to shut off if the temperature reaches 104 degrees. All you need to do is add some water to cool it down.
Can I put bubble bath or oils in the spa?
Sorry. We do not allow either of these. They will clog the filter and it will not clean correctly.
Does the spa have a strong “chlorine” smell?
Nope, not at all! We do not use chlorine. We use bromine to disinfect the water. It’s like chlorine but does not have such a strong smell, plus it does not fade swimsuits like chlorine.
I live in an apartment building, am I able to rent a spa?
I’m sorry but we cannot deliver a spa to an apartment.
