AWARD LEISURE NEWS

A hot tub is always the perfect excuse to unwind with your loved one. When the jets turn on, stress turns off, and romance arises when we take a break from distractions and relax together. With valentine’s day around the corner, why not plan a date night in your hot tub? We’ve put together some ideas to create the perfect setting for a steamy date night in your spa!

The invitation

It doesn’t matter whether you’re newlywed or married for 20 years, the important thing is that you both reserve some time together to enjoy your date night with zero distractions. Be romantic, silly or playful and write a card to invite your loved one.

Romantic lighting

Make the most of your hot tub lighting settings. British Hot Tubs come standard with Zen Zone Lighting which has individual, colour changing and flashing options - we recommend setting the colour to red or pink. These colours are relaxing and known to create the romantic mood. Consider adding twinkling candles, lanterns and/or fairy lights to make the environment even more beautiful.

Refreshments

Champagne and cocktails are great hot-tubbing drinks. And make sure to stock up on bottles of water to prevent dehydration. Cold snacks are very refreshing as well, especially exotic fruits. Chocolate-covered strawberries are a common valentine’s day treat, and they’re two of the world’s most famous aphrodisiacs.

Games

We recommend purchasing some Waterproof Playing Cards for your date night. Playing games makes your hot tub experience more fun!

Accessories

A popular upgrade feature on most of our British Hot Tubs is the Lit Waterfall Table. This must-have accessory keeps your drinks, snacks and games close while you enjoy your hot tub. This beautiful table connects with a twist into the footwell of most British Hot Tubs. Please note, you must have the connection in the footwell of your spa to attach this table. If you do not have the connection, we recommend setting up a bar table nearby so you can keep your refreshments within easy reaching distance.

Music

Music is the perfect way to enhance the mood, why not create a romantic playlist for the occasion? Pick music that your partner enjoys, aim to please in this case. If you chose the Vibro Zone Plus™ 4-speaker system as an upgrade feature on your British Hot Tub, you’re all set. If you do not have a music feature on your hot tub, we recommend purchasing a waterproof speaker that you can setup nearby.

Aromatherapy

Kick things up a notch on your hot tub date night with our flirty Aromatherapy Fragrances to tantalize the senses - we recommend Jasmin & Frangipani, Strawberries & Champagne, and Kiwi & Passion Fruit. Simply add the Aromatherapy to your Aromatherapy Injector (or directly into the water) then sit back, and relax.

Massage

Sit back, relax, and let the hot tub do the hard work for you. There’s no need to splash out on a spa day or hire a trained masseuse when you have a hot tub sitting outside! The warm water and hydrotherapy massage work together to relieve stress and anxiety and relax tense muscles.

Add some privacy

Enclosures allow you to enjoy your hot tub all year round, no matter the weather, while keeping out of sight of nosy neighbours! Our Slick Sail Gazebos create the perfect hot tub enclosure. You can choose from different sizes, materials, and colour combinations to match your garden design.

Splash out on new robes

After you get out of the hot tub feeling refreshed, what better feeling than to slip into a new, fluffy robe to keep you warm whilst you walk back into the house and continue the fun evening!

Our British Hot Tubs range is especially adapted for the variable British climate and offers excellent energy efficiency, performance, innovation, and beautiful designs - ultimately enabling you to enjoy your hot tub experience without worrying about high electrical costs and tedious water management.

Although it’s tempting to go for a Black Friday ‘bargain’, the real expense of a hot tub is the ongoing running costs. If a hot tub deal seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Most hot tubs last for years, if not decades, when properly maintained. This means that electricity and maintenance bills add up over the lifetime of a hot tub.

Award Leisure have over 35 years’ experience in the industry and acquire expert knowledge. Our British Hot Tubs are designed for the UK climate and fully insulated to be energy-efficient, resulting in low running costs.

A high quality and well-insulated spa, like the hot tubs we sell at Award Leisure, cost less than £1 per day to run if you maintain it properly. Whereas if you go for a cheap hot tub, with poor insulation, the long-term running costs could set you back £100 per month! That’s £12,000 in 10 years, compared to £3,360 for a well-insulated hot tub… Is the initial cheap sticker price really worth it?

Just look at this customer who bought a poorly manufactured hot tub

Is Eco Zone™ the Best Hot Tub Insulation? 

Our British Hot Tubs™ possess Eco Zone Insulation. Our award-winning concept involves 3 processes: we spray ½” Polyurethane Foam onto the back of the spa shell for insulation. Then, 3cm Polyurethane Foam Panels are fitted inside the frame of the cabinet. These 2 processes alone trap 90% of heat which travels through the shell. Finally, we have a Polyisocyanurate Reflective Silver Foil Wrap fitted to the inside of the cabinet and another 1” Polyurethane Foam Panel on the inside of the Silver Foil.

Eco Zone Insulation has an R-value of 18.45 and assures that your hot tub is fully insulated to be energy-efficient, resulting in low running costs. Our Eco Zone Insulation also complies with the Californian Energy Commission’s recommended and controlled quality assured guidelines.

A good tip - if you are shopping around for your perfect hot tub, always ask to see inside the hot tub cabinet, ask someone to remove the cabinet so you can see exactly what type of insulation, if any, is used.

Thermal Sealed Ultra Locking Cover

Our heat-saving covers are made from Marine Grade Vinyl and treated with Mildew and UV Inhibitors. The cover comes with 28 points of internal reinforcement and Plastic Drain Grommets, which aid release of any moisture trapped under the heavy-duty Vinyl. Not only will your cover look beautiful all year round, but we have added the Primer Skirt to help keep heat in and dirt out. Your cover is fully lockable, has child proof catches, and a personal key. Our Thermal Sealed Ultra Locking Cover is a critical addition for complete energy efficiency.

Quality Manufacturing and Maintenance is Vital

Quality manufacturing is vital – lower quality hot tubs are usually manufactured with cheap parts in factories with little to no regulations and therefore, do not come with any warranties or guarantees. And this can make it impossible to repair or maintain your hot tub.

Our British Hot Tubs™ are manufactured with branded North American parts, such as Balboa, and are ISO quality checked; this means they must comply with a 284-point quality control checklist before leaving the factory. Plus, we are so confident with the quality of your hot tub, it is backed with a 10-year guarantee.

Award Leisure offer outstanding after-care – our Peace of Mind Plan is a monthly payment service plan where, for the duration of your agreement, our engineers will attend site to fix your hot tub and you incur no labour or callout charge. If there are no more than 2 callouts through each year, you receive a free annual full service, which is normally £399!

It can be very tempting to go for that online ‘Black Friday bargain’ but if something goes wrong with your hot tub – do they have a service team? Do they provide ongoing support? Do they sell chemicals, filters, and all the things you need to keep your hot tub in tip-top condition? Award Leisure have 7 stores nationwide and a service team of over 20 engineers PLUS with our Peace of Mind Plan, customers are assured of superb post-purchase service and get regular discounts on chemicals, parts, and accessories.

Award Leisure are BISHTA approved. BISHTA, the British and Irish Spa and Hot Tub Association, were established in 2001 to ensure that companies engaged in the display and sale of Hot Tubs are adequately trained in water hygiene management and understand the importance of maintaining these standards. BISHTA exists to promote high standards of health and safety, by registering suppliers of Spas, Hot Tubs, Accessories, and Water Purification Products.

It is advisable to purchase your Hot Tub from a credible company, such as Award Leisure. There are very few procedures in place to protect consumers from retailers operating without the integrity of accreditations.

The usual controls offered by finance and credit card providers obviously apply, but outside of this, you are on your own. This is worrying for the consumer. Buying from a BISHTA approved company will give you peace of mind and significant protection with a guarantee of competent and professional aftercare.

So, how do companies qualify?

• By successfully completing a recognised course in Water Hygiene Management. The knowledge gained through this training is then passed on to consumers so that they understand the importance of maintaining these standards throughout the product’s life. 
• By demonstrating skill, expertise, and business integrity.
• By signing up to abide by the BISHTA Standards and Code of Ethics.
