Finnleo Sauna featured on HGTV

Last Saturday the DIY network featured one of our Finnleo Saunas on the show I hate my Bath! The homeowner was really tired of their 1960's era Pink bathroom, so it was transformed into a gorgeous new bathroom including a custom shower, custom vanity and a 2-person Finnleo Infrared Sauna!

A cedar sauna was chosen to compliment the Asian feel of the bathroom remodel, and the show demonstrated how simple & easy it is to set up a Finnleo Infrared sauna! Not only are they simple to set up, but the health benefits of an infrared sauna are incredible!

Sauanas are not just for remodels on TV show! You can fit one in your home, too! With sizes ranging from a 1 person to a complete custom sauna ROOM, there is an option for every home!

Hot Tub Use and High Blood Pressure

Did you know that a hot tub can actually help with high blood pressure? According to American Heart Association, the heat generated in a hot tub causes blood vessels to open (a process called vasodilation), lowering blood pressure.

If you have high blood pressure and aren't experiencing a hypertensive crisis, a hot tub might be the perfect addition to your home. Many doctors suggest limiting soaking time to 15 minutes or less at a water temperature no hotter than 104 degrees.

So if you have a hot tub, use it! And if you don't have a hot tub yet, what are you waiting for? Stop by one of our 3 hot tub showrooms or visit our Virtual Hot Tub Showroom online

Should I close my hot tub for the winter?

So you're not going to use your hot tub this winter, huh? That's too bad! We think the wintertime with its cold temperatures is a GREAT time to be hot-tubbing. But we understand that if you're going away or really not going to use it, you might want to save energy throughout the cold months. Jump to the bottom of this post for our suggestions & opinion on winterization or check out our post: To Winterize or NOT to Winterize

We were recently asked a great question about hot-tubbing in the wintertime:

My hot tub won't go below 80 degrees F, but I would like to save energy over the winter and run it cooler without shutting it off. Can it be reprogrammed? 

The difference in cost in running your hot tub at 80 degrees vs. 100 degrees throughout the winter is pennies, if that. As long as you have the cover on your hot tub, the heat has no where to go and it maintains a nice warm, toasty temperature. The energy will not burn off from the hot tub.

We don't suggest keeping your hot tub at a low temperature during the cold months for a few reasons:
  1. If the power goes out to your hot tub or home, your hot tub only has 50 degrees to get to freezing if it's set at 80. At 100, it would take a lot longer to freeze
  2. What if you decide you want to use your spa in the winter? It will take more energy & use of your heater to get the tub from 80 to 100 in a few hours than if you just kept it at 100 and ready to use at a moments notice! 
So what do you do if you want to save energy in the winter.?

You could have your hot tub winterized. During the winterization process we drain the hot tub completely & suck all the water from the plumbing in your spa. But, in our opinion, the cost of the hot tub winterization negates the energy savings over the cold months because our hot tubs are so energy efficient.

We only really recommend winterization if you're going to be away during the winter or are leaving your hot tub empty for more than just one season!

But then again, we're really biased because we just LOVE Hot-tubbing in the wintertime!

Hot Tub Health Benefits

Stress is all around us. A National Health Interview Survey showed that 75% of the general population experiences at least "some stress" every two weeks. It's a proven fact that stress also affects the immune system, which protects us from many serious diseases. Some estimates show that medical community agrees that 80% of all disease is stress-related. We are overworked & overrun, and we don't allow our bodies the chance to heal before we move on to the next thing.

When is the last time you let yourself relax? 

 Have you ever told yourself "I don't have time to relax?" or "If I relax now X,Y & Z won't get done." I do. All the time!

But what if you committed to just 15 minutes a day to allow yourself to be rejuvenated for the stressful tasks ahead? What if in that 15 minutes you could encourage circulation, release healing endorphins, give your joints stress & pain relief and even over time, reduce your blood sugar levels?

You know where I"m going with this-- you can do all that! In just 15 minutes a day when you soak in your hot tub, you'll allow your body to heal & relax so that you can have the energy for the next task.

Remember that your hot tub isn't just an appliance in your backyard-- it's a very powerful means to a healthier lifestyle! Go ahead- love your hot tub for 15 minutes today! And let us know when you feel better!
