When You first got your Hot Tub you could not wait to get back home and
get into it. You would plan parties around it. You bragged to all your
friends about the wonderful benefit you were getting from soaking every
night in warm therapeutic water. You needed less sleep. When you did go
to sleep you slept soundly with no stiff joints or aching muscles. You
woke up refreshed and invigorated.
But now when you look out in the backyard, the Hot Tub is just where you
stack stuff to get it out of the way when you mow the lawn. Now when you
entertain you still use the Hot Tub, only now you just use it as a back up
picnic table. You put the food on it so as not to clutter the table.
You probably do not even remember the last time you were in it. What
happened?
It happens so slowly that most people do not even realize it is
happening. When you first get the Hot Tub you use it religiously. It was a
central focal point of your regular routine. After while though it
becomes a little bit more work to get into your hot tub.
Remember the frog
and boiling water analogy. If you toss a frog into hot water it jumps
right out. However if you put the frog in cool water he will stay. Even
when you begin to heat the water the frog will stay in the water even
up to the point he dies because of the heat. Why, because the change
happens slowly and the frog never notices the change until it is too
late.
Well this is the same thing. You are the frog. Only now instead of
staying in the water while it heats up, you are staying out of hot
water even though you love the way it makes you feel. The reason is
that your Hot Tub Cover got heavy. Not all at once, but slowly over time and you did not
even notice. It just got to be more of a struggle to get into the hot tub. The
more effort you had to put into getting in the Hot Tub, the less desirable
it got. You switched from using it every night to just on weekends. You
justified it by saying something like, “The new has worn off.” Right.
My muscles only ache on the weekends too. Rush hour traffic must be
better where you are.
No, the truth is the heavy Hot Tub Cover just made it less inviting. You
might even have said, “I am too tired.” Too Tired to get a total body
massage? Or just too tired to get the heavy spa cover off? Eventually
you skip a weekend and wait even longer to get into the one thing that
made you feel so good. When you finally did get back to it, the darn
cover probably took two of you to get it off. Then you decided that you
really only used the one side, so no sense taking the heavy spa cover
all the way off.
We just flip it back half way. I cannot tell you how many people I
hear this from. You pay to heat the whole spa. You used to brag about
all the different jets and how great it was to move from one to the
other until your whole body just was totally ministered to. Quit
justifying a few inches of saturated foam and letting it keep you from
the therapy that used to make your whole outlook on life brighter. Get
a better spa cover. Not another piece of foam that will end up heavy
again, or broken, or sag into an oversized bird bath, or blow away in
the wind. Shop around for a different kind of hot tub cover that will never
get heavy, or break. Replacement Hot Tub Covers that will insulate right from the water surface without rigid foam to break or saturate.
