Hot Tub vs Swimming Pool: A portable hot tub can be a very special budget option to the more expensive swimming pool by providing that vital element of nature -- water. Long Island Hot Tub www.longislandhottub.com

We installed this portable Bullfrog Spas hot tub totally above-ground, in a custom "in-garden" setting. So the clients got the aesthetics of an in-ground look, as well as the delights of Bullfrog's JetPak massage hydrotherapy. www.longislandhottub.com

The property’s tall trees create a natural and attractive privacy screen while sitting in hot tub. Hot tubs also come with easy to lift covers that can double as suitable privacy screens as well. www.longislandhottub.com

Hydropool Swim Spas are the latest trend in the pool and spa industry. Hydropool has the smoothest and most powerful adjustable current stream of any swim spa on the market. You can say goodbye to the weekly maintenance that a regular pool requires, because Hyrdropool swim spas are self-cleaning. Whether you are a serious swimmer looking to train in the comfort of your backyard or the casual swimmer who wants to enjoy the relaxation of a pool, Hydropool is the ultimate swim spa, hot tub, and aquatic gym all-in-one.

Set in between two levels of a beautiful new Techo-Bloc patio, this portable Bullfrog Spa (A-8) is also conveniently located near their back door to allow for year-round use. It boasts the full 6 interchangeable JetPak massage jets/seats which are as comfortable as they are therapeutic and soothing. www.longislandhottub.com

This project included a natural looking waterfall feature with the pond, moss rock boulders and lush landscaping around the pond and spa. We used Aquascape Inc.‘s water systems, which included high efficiency pumps, skimmers, biological filters etc. The clients’ “in-tub views” are spectacular; they also enjoy wonderful hydrotherapy options due to Bullfrog Spa’s individual, inter-changeable massage JetPaks, which our clients say, always hit the spot. www.longislandhottub.com

A spa vault, says Bill, must be installed in such a way as to appear in-ground but also allow access for service technicians to get inside it for future maintenance. The vault was made of concrete blocks to coordinate with the pool. The base has 6” of crushed stone with concrete poured over it. Vaults can be individually designed, depending on taste and style. The homeowner’s plan called for two sets of wrap-around steps, fitted on two sides of the spa, one set facing the pool and the set facing the house. “This was a great idea. “It appears completely set in-ground from those two vantage points.” Bill adds that he drew some sketches to help the homeowners and their contractor understand how a hot tub and vault work together. “Today’s blog shows us the early stages of this project before the pool was ‘opened,’ etc. and the hot tub put in the vault with the steps. We’re looking forward to sharing photos of the finished job in the near future once we have them. We’re sure it’s going to look amazing.”

When a client wants a custom installation, Best Hot Tubs has extensive experience working with contractors. This Best Hot Tubs’ client, for example, wanted a hot tub fitted against a deck. Working closely with The Deck and Patio Company who did the deck, we worked with them to fit their new Bullfrog Spa on a matching base, or cradle, halfway into the new handsome Trex deck.

Lastly, the complete set-in-garden look includes river rock along with additional colorful plants. Note: In this close up shot of the installation, you can see Bullfrog Spas’ interchangeable massage seats/jets called JetPaks — well known for providing some of the best massages available in a portable spa.

Hot tubs are generally located outdoors, sometimes under a canopy or gazebo and can accommodate multiple users.(Photo: Bullfrog Spas) www.longislandhottub.com

Even a portable spa (shown) can be made to appear completely custom. We added fire bowl with water streaming into the hot tub and an additional waterfall flowing into the existing pool for a beautiful spa setting. www.longislandhottub.com

Hot tubs also improve muscle health. Soaking in a hot tub loosens stiff muscles and reduces soreness. Increased blood flow to the muscles also aids in healing injuries and recovery after intense workouts. www.longislandhottub.com

Even portable hot tubs can be made to appear custom. We set this Bullfrog Spa in the ground beside a tranquil backyard pond. If the peaceful vista isn’t enough to make the clients relax, the spa’s hydrotherapy definitely will. www.longislandhottub.com

We helped the clients choose the right cabinet to match their new deck. Plus, having interchangeable JetPaks means they will always have the massage they need or want.

You don’t have to limit yourself to just a hot tub; Long Island Hot Tub can create the perfect spa living area including ponds, streams and waterfalls. www.longislandhottub.com
