Hot Tub Manufacturing| How Luxurious Hot Tubs are Made - JOYEE

When you're looking for a hot tub, you want to buy something that offers good value for money. Hot tubs are an investment in your home and knowing how they are made and packaged makes a big difference when you decide to take a chance on a hot tub.

Everyone likes to slip away from reality every now and then. After a long day or week, a retreat in the backyard is the best way to go. Creating an environment that you enjoy coming home to is invaluable. Having a good time in the comfort of a bubble on the deck is one of the most enjoyable experiences.

Basic components

Once you have decided to buy a hot tub, it is wise to start looking around, do some research and familiarise yourself with the different components, basic features and details of the main parts. This will help you to better understand the salesperson in the shop, or the item descriptions you read when shopping online.

Acrylic hot tub shells

The shell of a hot tub is made of acrylic. To shape the acrylic, it is heated and placed on a mould which forms part of the hot tub where you will sit. The shell of the hot tub goes through several heating and cooling processes. Resin and fibreglass are also added to ensure that the hot tub is strong, durable and long lasting.

Cabinets

Your hot tub will spend a lot of time outside in the weather elements. Cabinets need to be made from cedar or redwood to withstand the harsh weather and hold up well for the life of your hot tub. Hot tub cabinets made from man-made materials that look like wood but are made from resin are also becoming increasingly popular. These types of material will last a long time without needing to be retained as much as wood.

Pumps

The pump in a hot tub powers the jets and circulates the water. The pump helps to keep the water in the hot tub looking clear and inviting. You want to make sure that the pump system in your hot tub is of high quality.

Hot tub jets

The jets in your hot tub create a wonderful, relaxing massage that you'll look forward to every time you get in. The jets cause the water to pulsate and move it back and forth. Hot tub jets used to be made of plastic, but manufacturers now use materials such as vinyl and acrylic. Other materials are available and they are all designed to last a long time. If you find yourself in need of a new jet, they are universal and easy to replace.

Filters

If you have a hot tub, you will understand how important a filter is. A filter keeps all the nasty harmful substances out of the hot tub. They help to remove things like dust, bugs or any particles that are unwanted due to the weather.

Filters are made from a cotton-like material and there are several different types available for purchase. You can clean your filter weekly with water to help its efficiency and keep your hot tub clean for a long time.

Ozone generator

No one wants to put harsh chemicals in their hot tub. Chemicals can irritate your skin and have a very strong smell. An ozonator is a natural cleaner that requires you to use less harsh chemicals but still keeps the water clean and healthy.

Hot tub lighting

Hot tub lighting can set the mood for your hot tub experience. The lighting can be fun, romantic, cosy or showcase great detail in your hot tub. Lighting can move with the music and add some momentum to any party. Lighting is the icing on the hot tub cake.

The10 steps to hot tub making

From start to finish, the entire hot tub manufacturing process takes 10 steps. Each step is important and comes together to provide a high quality finished product.

• Vacuum forming or thermoforming of the shell - This process is used to shape the fantastic design of the hot tub.

• The shell is reinforced by heating the mould and adding resin and fibreglass to ensure the durability of the hot tub.

• Drilling and cutting are essential steps to ensure that all components are correctly placed and fitted together.

• Piping plays a complex role in the making of a hot tub. Without piping, water cannot circulate and cannot drain from the tub to the filter, jets and then back again.

• Framing is necessary to be able to fit the hot tub into the beautiful cabinet you have chosen for your hot tub.

• The equipment used for the hot tub needs to be of good quality and durable.

• It is important to test the hot tub to ensure there are no leaks and that the water has a healthy level of chlorine and alkalinity.

• Insulation (spray foam) will keep your hot tub safe from the weather elements, which will make it last for many enjoyable years.

• The cabinet and ABS bottom must withstand and hold up to the weather and wear in general for years to come.

• Cleaning and packaging is what the final product will look like before it is delivered to you or the shop where you bought it. This final packaging needs to be attractive and aesthetically pleasing.
