Do you let out Holiday Homes and Parks?

If you have your own holiday park or cottage, having a hot tub can be a major selling feature, and with their popularity only increasing, they’re a sound investment into your holiday home or park.


Did you know that you can only use hot tubs that have passed commercial regulations?


While this may narrow your choice, there really is no need to look elsewhere! The Coast Spas Regency Baroness 30 is a favourite for our clients with holiday homes, parks and hotels. This is partly because of its compact design and beautiful aesthetics, but the main selling feature with not just this model, but all the Coast Spas range we offer, is that they adhere to certain public health codes and regulations for Hot Tubs in a commercial application, called the HSG282 compliance rules. 

 

The Coast Spas Regency Baroness 30 is perfect for holiday letting

 

It is important that if you are installing a hot tub in your property, lodge or hotel for public use, you understand the importance of clean water and the maintenance aspects with a hot tub. You wouldn’t be happy to bathe in a stranger’s bathwater, so why would your tenants?


One of the best features of a Coast Spas Hot Tub is the filtration. Conventional filtration usually has the filter sitting in the water with the bather – meaning you’re sitting with all the hair, body fats, oils, dead skin cells and other unpleasant things get stuck! Ew!


While it may initially be the cheaper option, you will end up paying more in the long run with more chemical consumption, water changes and ultimately dirty water that does not look appealing or hygienic.

 

Commercial grade hot tub

 

With Coast Spas, the filter sits completely outside of the bathing area which means when it is removed for cleaning, it does not contaminate the spa water and consumes less chemicals. This means less maintenance, so you can concentrate on the things that matter instead of looking after your Hot Tub constantly!


For more information on Coast Spas’ hydro-cyclonic filtration, watch their exclusive video below!


This filtration system features on the Baroness meaning with the help of your chemicals you can rest assured your water is safe and clean for people to use all year round. For more information or advice on Hot Tubs in a holiday let, and the HSG282 compliance rules feel free to give you a call and we would be happy to discuss. 


The baroness comes with 30 hydrotherapy jets that are designed to give you the most effective massage. The Baroness also features hand moulded handrails for easy in and out access plus a waterfall handrail that not only looks fantastic but is practical, plus the sound of relaxing trickling water adds to the whole Spa experience that our customers find very therapeutic.

 

Hot Tubs that are suitable for commercial use

 

The Baroness seats up to 4 adults, with each seat offering a unique massage. The Baroness comes complete with a plush headrest, beverage holders and can run off a 13-amp conventional household supply, just like a kettle! (nice Moroccan pics attached.)


We’ve included a handy little video with everything you need to know about the Baroness.
