What is the Best Brand of Hot Tub for Summit County, Colorado?

There are numerous hot tub brands on the market. If you are searching for a new hot tub for either your full-time residence or a vacation property in Summit County where the high alpine conditions create a harsh winter environment, you will likely want to know what is the best brand of hot tub for your home in Frisco, Silverthorne, or Breckenridge. Consider first the three key aspects of a hot tub: Plumbing, structure, and water purification, and see why we prefer Artesian Spas. 

Plumbing: With almost 250 days out of the year in which temps dip below freezing in Summit County, Colorado, the quality of plumbing in your hot tub or spa is crucial. Only the highest quality plastic tubing is used in Artesian Spas to prevent kinks that can disrupt water flow and cause freezing. These tubes are both glued and clasped onto their fasteners to prevent movement during transit. Water flow is kept as straight as possible to ensure the best pressure to the jets. This high-flow system keeps water pressure at its highest. Artesian Spa jets rotate on bearings rather than plastic for ease of adjustment. Certainly don’t discount plumbing while shopping for the best hot tub for your Summit County home. 

Structure: Artesian spas are built from the ground up to the highest standards using only pressure-treated lumber on top of a full ABS base. The solid foundation is covered with durable yet beautiful cabinetry. Here is what makes Artesian Spa frames special: The space between the cabinet and the structure is filled with insulating foam. This high-quality foam has the highest efficiency rating available for heat retention. In a climate like Summit County, heat retention is of utmost importance! This high heat retention dramatically increases the lifespan of your spa and also makes the tub quieter, stronger, and more durable in addition to extra protection for the plumbing. Summit County hot tubs absolutely need the very best plumbing protection for our continuous freeze cycles. Additionally, Artesian Spas proudly offers cast acrylic shells with an extra level of protection against mold and mildew by using Microban® and Bio-Lok™ technology that inhibits the growth of bacteria causing odors or stains between cleaning

Water Purification: While Artesian Spas can be used with the traditional chlorine methods, there is also the option for mineral water SmartChlor® technology. A mineral cleaning system results in cleaner, clearer, and softer water that is easier to maintain. This system uses up to 75% less chlorine requiring shocks just once a month. The mineral system self regulates for continuously clear water, is easier on hot tub surfaces, and has far less odor because it kills bacteria in two ways. For those with sensitive skin or who dislike the overly-scrubbed feeling that chlorine leaves behind, a mineral system is the way to go! A tub with a choice in the type water purification tops the list for the best brand of hot tub for your mountain home.
