There are many different opinions on the use of cranes for lifting hot tubs. Many people believe that using a crane is very difficult to organise and people may only choose to use a crane if there is no other option BUT in fact there are just as many risks in the alternative; hiring a delievery team to place your hot tub manually.

Manual labour is often a lot more risky not only to the workers but also to the product! And you obviously want to ensure that your new tub is not damaged before it's even ready to use and enjoy! Cranes undoubtedly avoid injuries and take away stresses and strains from the delivery team! 

Crane lifts are also much less time consuming, as a crane lift can take only about 20 minutes. Cranes are definatly an option that should not be dismissed without investigation.

All larger spas should have to be put in place by a crane! Hiring a crane to lift in your new hot tub or spa is not as hard as you may initially have imagined! When we think of a crane the idea that springs to mind is an image of a huge great industrial crane seen on most major constrution sites. This thought scares a lot of people but of course these are not the cranes which a hot tub requires. A hot tub would generally need a lorry crane, which can be a easy, simple, cost effective and safer for both the team and the product.

1 in 4 hot tub deliveries require a crane and the demand is and should increase. Don't let your new spa or hot tub sit alone, uncared for and unused in your front garden or drive get on the phone now and hire a crane to lift the tub for you!

Cranes really are a lot easier than you think and better than manual labour.

Eighteen-month-old Maralise Van Wyk, from Nottinghamshire, was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder (PCH2) which causes her muscles to be constantly tense and can only be eased by warm water and the relaxation a hot tub can provide this.

PCH2 is a recessive condition and studies suggest children with this condition are not expected to live past infancy. Maralise is just one of five children in the UK with this disorder.

The couple stated that they are trying to raise their own money to provide their daughter with a full hydrotherapy room, to help her life become more comfortable. So far they have raised approximately £2500, by the sale of their car because they believe that "Having access to daily hydrotherapy and a hot tub will have an amazing impact on her life and ease her discomfort”.

From the care of the local people and businesses a hot tub has been provided, to allow the young girl’s muscles to relax and to help the family cope with the struggle the disorder causes.

This shows just how much hot tubs can change lives and benefit health! But this is not only true for people with muscle disorders, a hot tub from Splash Spas could aid your body too!

Maralise' mother states, “The difference a hot tub makes to her and her muscles is just incredible. She is very uncomfortable a lot of the time and she will cry all day. The only thing that stops her crying is being in the warm water“.

I hope this proves that hot tubs can have medical benefits as well as being relaxing, enjoyable and fun things to have!

It is a common belief that hot tubs are purely for summer, but in reality your hot tub can be a much needed relaxation tool to revitalize and sooth your whole body during those miserable winter months, while bringing friends and family together during the holiday season.

Sometimes in winter the stresses of work, kids or even Christmas can leave us feeling a little rundown and in need of some repair. This is just what the hot tub that you may neglect during winter can provide.

The heated water in your hot tub can encourage blood to circulate the body, promoting the movement of oxygen throughout, with this process being especially effective in during colder times. This leaves tense muscles feeling revived and encourages your body to repair damaged or sore tissue. The whole experience of using your hot tub in the winter will promote a healthier and more radiant complexion and help relax and sooth a stressed mind.

Using a hot tub all year round will enable you to get the most use out of it! Also saving you the painstaking task of draining and wrapping the it up over the winter. Additionally, you wont need to reverse this process in the spring, meaning your spa is ready for use whenever you need it and yearly round useage will help eliminate the risk of redidual water freezing or damaging the pipe work .

Splash Spas strongly advises you to continue to use, enjoy and benefit from your spa or hot tub during the otherwise dull winter time.
