Did you know that hot tubs and spas are not the same? Both hot tubs and spas are very relaxing. Both make great additions to your home especially if you are looking into increasing the value of your home. Don’t let the label of a hot tub or spa determine your purchase. Choose your hot tub or spa based on the features. Learn about the differences between a spa and a hot tub below.
Most modern-day hot tubs are constructed from different types of wood. Hot tubs can be made from oak, teak, cedar, cypress, or redwood. Even though every hot tub is not made of wood, chances are that if it is made of wood, it is a hot tub. Another key difference between a hot tub and a spa is the way the water enters into the hot tub. Hot bubbling water enters the tub from under and around the seats. These tubs also are above-ground and designed with socialization and relaxation in mind.
Spas
Spas are made of materials other than wood. Also, Spas are made of molded plastic, acrylic, cement, or fiberglass. Built-in seats and water jets are characteristics of spas. Water enters into spas through the floor and seats, unlike hot tubs. However, the biggest difference is what it is used for. Many spas are designed for swimming and excerising, which is why they are made larger. In addition, spas are typically in facilities with other add-ons like a sauna.
Today, hot tubs and spas are being built very similar but the differences between them are shrinking. Pick your hot tub or spa according to the amenities that you want.

As algae begin to grow within your swimming pool, don’t just allow it to continue to spread, clean it up! Algae is one of the most common problems in swimming pools and isn’t healthy to have in your pool. Also, it can grow on the walls or floor of the swimming pool but algae can be removed or avoided by following a few steps.
Finally, if you have any other questions about removing algae from your swimming pool or are interested in purchasing a swimming pool, visit Sunny’s Pools & More at any of our locations.
