Can a Hot Tub Relieve Stress?

Yes, a hot tub can relieve the stress you face on a day to day basis. Hot tubs and spas can help relieve stress that creates muscle tension and restricts blood flow. Stress can cause headaches, sleeplessness, fatigue, and soreness. How we feel physically can affect our thoughts, our moods, and our ability to enjoy life to the fullest. Regular use of a hot tub allows you to relax and relieve the tension.  The key to relaxation in a hot tub is finding your perfect fit.  To achieve the perfect fit you will need to make sure the seats aren’t too big or too small. Having the jets in the right location and in numerous locations give you a massage all over to help relive tension. Having adjustable jets is another way to customize your seat so you can have the best experience possible while in your hot tub. By adding in aromatherapy using either a liquid or crystal version, such as Spazazz, you can increase your relaxation and decrease your stress. With the stress melting away you will be able to enjoy life more fully. 

If you need help finding the perfect fitting hot tub, call Parrot Bay Pools & Spas.

Great Reasons to Have a Swimming Pool

1. Encourage Family Time

When you have Parrot Bay Pools build your swimming pool, you're creating a fun and relaxing space for your children and family to spend time together without ever leaving the backyard! You'll make lasting memories as you teach your kids to swim, play with them in the pool, and bar-b-que by the water.

2. Create an Outdoor Resort at Home

A well-designed swimming pool isn't just a bunch of water. It can turn your backyard into an elegant outdoor oasis. With waterfalls and other unique amenities, a pool can serve as a relaxing and inviting centerpiece right in your own backyard.

3. Throw a Party

A pool is a great way to entertain. Invite your friends and neighbors over for a poolside bar-b-que or a dip in the water.

4. Stay Healthy and Lose Weight

Instead of driving to the gym, you can spend time exercising in your own swimming pool. Research shows that swimming provides a better total body workout with a low risk of injury.

5. Unwind and Relax

Spending time in the water helps your body relax and get rid of stress. You'll also sleep better than you ever have before.

6. Keep an Eye on Your Kids

With a swimming pool in your backyard, you can give your kids and their friends a place to play that is both convenient and safe. You can also rest easy knowing that your children are close by.

7. Long Lasting Fun

Building a pool is a great investment that will reap rewards for a lifetime. A vacation, a movie, or a visit to a theme park will all come to an end, but a pool will be enjoyed by your friends and family for years to come.

Most Common Swimming Pool Building Mistakes

 Most Common Swimming Pool Building Mistakes

1.Shopping like you are buying a car

Swimming pools are custom construction projects, and are built by individuals and pool contractors with different standards. Unlike an automobile, which is manufactured in a factory under controlled conditions, all swimming pools are not built the same. Much of what you do not see will impact the cost and quality of your pool. The more you know and understand about swimming pool construction, the better buyer you will be.

2. Not asking questions about licensure and service after the sale

Is your pool builder a NC licensed contractor? Find out here www.nclbgc.org. What makes them qualified to build your custom swimming pool? Do your homework. Get 3 or 4 estimates from reputable swimming pool companies in the area. Does your pool company also service the pool after the sale? Do they have a dedicated service department for maintenance, repairs, and cleanings?Or do they only install the pool and then it's up to you to find service afterwards?

3.Shopping based on price

Usually, if a deal seems too good to be true, it is. If you shop for price alone, you are destined to be disappointed. Consider the saying, "If you think the cost of a professional is expensive, wait until you hire an amateur!"

4.Shopping over the phone for a swimming pool

It's impossible. Take the time to meet with a swimming pool contractor and have them provide you with an estimate. Go to the store and make sure it is inviting and welcoming. A pool purchase is not a one time buy. You will create a relationship with this company over years to come. Choose wisely.

5. Assuming swimming pools cost less to build in the wintertime

We have seen increases in prices, gas increases, and insurance premium hikes. Pools don't get cheaper as time goes on; building a swimming pool will never be less expensive than it is today.

6. Focusing on the aesthetics and not the mechanics of your swimming pool

Hydraulic design, flow rates, pipe size, pump and filter types, chemical management systems, and many other factors will make a big difference in the ability of your swimming pool to stay clean and sanitized. Do your homework about the way a pool is built, not just the way it looks. Parrot Bay Pools offers upgraded plumbing and energy efficiency.

7. Not thinking about safety

Swimming pools can be a great place to have fun, exercise, and just enjoy the outdoors. They can also be dangerous. Make sure you know what your city/county requires for barriers and fencing. More importantly, make sure you protect the ones you care for, and protect the ones that cannot protect themselves. Parrot Bay Pools offers black aluminum fencing if desired and is available to answer your barrier requirement questions.

As always, Parrot Bay Pools is here to answer your questions.

Thinking about Heating Your Pool?

Having a heated pool means having fun year round with your family and friends. Here are a few options for your consideration when investing in a heater for your pool.

1. Gas v. Electric Heater

An electric heat pump is a type of pool heater that will use the warm air from outside and run it through the compressor to heat the pool by converting the air to heated water. The upside of a heat pump is they are usually less expensive to run, the downfall is they can be very slow to heat up the water and do not work well once the outside temperature drops much below 55 degrees.

A gas pool heater is very efficient a quickly heats up the pool water. The downside to a gas heater is the cost of fuel fluctuates and the maintenance on the gas heater is much higher than electric. However, the gas heater works well no matter what the outside temperature is.

The next step for you is to decide which heater you would prefer and remember your friends at Parrot Bay Pools and Spas are here to help insure you have the proper equipment and training for your new heater.
