Hot Tub Hydrotherapy

Author: Synapse India

With the increasing pace of the medical science, awareness about the benefits of hot tub hydrotherapy is already known to everyone. It is proven scientifically that many medical conditions, injuries and any other health problem can just improve with regular hydrotherapy treatments.



For instance, people suffering from serious diseases such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis, paralysis and other conditions can be benefited by the regular use of hot tub. The warm water helps ease aches and pains, while loosening joints and making them easier to move and keep mobile.

Other health problems such as joint problems, chronic back pain and other painful conditions derived from any kind of physical injuries can be improved with regular hot tub hydrotherapy. In case, a person is feeling stress or seeking general relaxation and need some quiet and personal opportunities for conversation, hot tubs can be the prime place to enjoy the best moments of your day.

Modern Spa and Hot Tub Hydrotherapy

 

With the availability of modern technology, equipments and production processes have smoothened the way to design & construct home spas and hot tubs that come with highly specialized hydrotherapy features. Hydrotherapy features are basically providing an additional blend of a combination of exact seating position, jet position and jet function.

Hydrotherapy Makes Your Fit & Healthy

 

Using the latest technology in hydrotherapy, a person can design the most usable hot tub. Nowadays, hot tubs come with jetted tubs for fitness purposes. The new hot tubs are elongated in shape and allow the bather to choose traditional spas functions or switch over to functions that allow for a vigorous workout. They are commonly referred to as swim spas.

Besides, a swim spa, hot tubs come with adjustable current jets that help in adjusting the workout intensity depending on the user's fitness level, and increase intensity over time as the level of fitness improves.

    You can go on CalSpa’s website and get the manual for your unit to see if they’ve got a detailed schematic in there. Unfortunately, they don’t give a lot of detail on what’s going on inside of the electronics box.

    I’ve got an older (1990′s) CalSpas unit with a bad relay in it. I can’t find a good schematic of mine anywhere.

    The timing for this is a safety feature dictated by UL (I think its UL 875. Spending more than 30 minutes in a hot tub has been shown to be a leading cause of death. See my post at Saunascape about the background for this.) Typically, anything that is dictated by UL has to be hard to defeat, meaning if you try to open the electronics box, the board could destroy itself.

    Since it’s a UL spec, you’re not going to be able to get another US-made residential spa controller that will let you keep this on for more than 30 minutes. You might be able to find a commercial one that has a set of contacts for an external timer that you could replace with a switch.

    hot tub turns off automatically – rewire/workaround?
    I’ve got a computer controlled hot tub, cal-spa model 2100.

    Its jets have three settings, high, low, and off.

    On low there’s little jetting, mostly its there for circulation.

    On high, its the full hot tub massage relaxing bubbling experience.

    So ever since I got this thing, when I turn it on high, after about 1/2hr it turns itself down to low. I have to get up and turn it back to high. Its computer controlled by a relay box marked ‘whisper power unit’. I want to modify things so it will stay on high until I turn it off. Any suggestions on rewiring the circuit board or reprogramming the computer?

    Also, to the people who are about to say ‘its designed to do that, don’t modify it!’, ‘it’ll burn out the motor, don’t do it!’, and other silly comments, please keep it to yourself, you’re wrong.

    If you want to get fancy. you could invest in a landscape design program. Better Homes and Garden makes one but it’s pricey – around $70 is the cost. There are others that are not as expensive. Just Google landscape design software.

    Or – If you take a bunch of digital photos or your garden, you could put them into a graphics program if you already have one like Photoshop or GIMP. This would let you cut and paste. You could then go online and find images of things you would like for your garden landscape and paste them into the picture to see how it would look.

    You can also have some contractors over to get estimates and some expert advice – this would also let you get a feel for who you want to hire if you decide to go ahead with the landscaping project. It might also help point out potential problems you wouldn’t think of, for example, you may want to place a pool or spa in an area that won’t have enough room for equipment, or you may want to put plants or trees in a spot where the soil just isn’t going to work with them.

    Pool Design and Technology?
    We are trying to design a pool that has a lap lane element to it for the back yard. The family wants a cool shape, but I want length enough to swim a quality lap, and we want an attached hot tub too.. Where can I find good designs for this to get some good ideas.
    Secondly, we are also trying to find out about saltwater or saline type pool technology. We do not want a chlorine pool but can’t seem to find much info about the other type. We swam in one in Italy and it was amazing. You could open your eyes underwater like in fresh water and you felt great when you got out, not dried out like with chlorine. Anyone have expeirience with pools like these?

  7. roxy says:

    I don’t know anything about saltwater or saline type pools. I have a plain old chlorine pool. And its just a rectangle shape. But go on Rate my Space on HGTV.com. Click on swimming pools. People send in pics of their pools and maybe you can get an idea of what your looking for shape-wise. Good luck

    Mediterranean Style refers, roughly, to the design style of the south of France, Spain, and Italy. This region is known for its turquoise waters (hence, the cote d’azur), sparkling sunlit days, and vibrant produce and flowers. These elements are mirrored in Mediterranean Design. Unlike formal Parisian drawing room style or dark Florentine or Madrileno design, Mediterranean design is carefree and casual, emphasizing the colors and textures found in the surrounding landscape. Nature is apparent in the architectural elements and furnishings in Mediterranean style. Terra cotta tiles, rough-cut stone, and pine wood are all used liberally.

    Mediterranean colors are vibrant and earthy. Yellows, oranges, and deep reds mirror the spectacular seaside sunsets. Lavender, deep purple (aubergine), and cornflower yellow evoke the fields of flowers that cover the foothills, just up from the coast. Greens, from lush forest green to light mint green, reflect the lush countryside.

    The textures of the Mediterranean are rough and earthy, just like the colors. Walls are customarily made of textured white plaster or stucco. Floors are covered with roughly finished tile or plain pine planking. Large, dark wooden ceiling beams are commonly used, in stark contrast to the white-washed stucco walls.

    Water is another common Mediterranean design element, and many European homes include a courtyard fountain or other water feature. North American homeowners can capture this feel with a ceramic wall fountain or lavebo.
