Ten Accessories Needed for Your Summit County Hot Tub
Kristi Stanford • February 15, 2020
Like all of the other “grownup toys” in your life, your hot tub comes as a base model with a variety of accessories, gadgets, and add-ons to upgrade your spa experience from good to amazing. Your Summit County hot tub is unique, however, with the climate it lives in and likely the fact that its occupants will often include vacationing renters. So what are the best accessories for Summit County hot tub? We’ve included them here in order of importance and left off the ones you can live without.
- Cover lifter: The hot tub cover is one of the most important parts of your hot tub, especially in our high alpine environment. A cover lifter is essential for the care of your hot tub cover. Removing the cover can be difficult and our vacationers are not only short on oxygen, they’re usually short on patience as well. A cover lifter will prevent unnecessary wear and tear from tugging, pulling, and plopping the cover on the ground.
- Steps: Hot tub steps are lightweight and can be pulled away from the tub when not in use to prevent small children or pets from climbing on them.
- Wind strap: The topography in Breckenridge is one of the reasons we get great snow, but it also means we have tremendous winds at times. Don’t let your hot tub cover get damaged by a gust of wind, or get blown off altogether leaving your hot tub exposed to the elements.
- Lock: We know you don’t want to find strangers lounging in your hot tub. A lock can prevent poachers vacationing at a nearby home.
- Push broom: So that your guests won’t be tempted to take a shovel to the hot tub cover, provide a push broom or even a hand-held broom so that snow can easily be removed in the winter time, easing the removal of the cover and preventing the snow from being dumped into the tub.
- List of rules and instructions: Many guests have never used private hot tubs! They won’t think twice about leaving the cover off or carrying on with their noise late at night if you don’t make them aware.
- Towels: Take care of your bath towels and stock large beach towels for hot tub use.
- Towel rack: Give your guests a handy spot to hang their wet towels so they won’t leave them on the floor or furnishings.
- Door mat: Think of wet feet coming back into your home from the tub area and place door mats where necessary to protect your flooring.
- Tub pillows: A cushion for relaxing will enhance your spa time. However, keep in mind that chemicals and sun exposure will wear down cushion materials requiring replacement on a regular basis. Particles from deteriorating pillows can clog filters and cause motor failure.
