Many hot tub manufacturers have incorporated design features into their shells that contribute to safety and comfort, while making the spa that much more appealing. Here is a list of some of the features available and the benefits they bring to your spa:

• Grab Bars. Grab bars can be strategically positioned to provide added safety when maneuvering in and out of your spa.
• Lighted Grab Bars. This feature provides the same benefits as above, while also adding safety and ambiance when using your spa in the evening. Some manufacturers offer lighted grab bars that come in three settings: dim, medium, and bright.
• Lighting. Underwater lighting should be considered a necessity on all hot tub purchases. It aids in the safe entry and exit of your spa when using it in the dark, as well as creating “moods” for special occasions. Spa lighting is usually available in a variety of colors.
• Pillows. Built in pillows that are form fitted into the spa’s shell provide a measure of comfort when relaxing in your spa. Look for pillows that are not easily detachable, as they can become annoying when and if they detach during spa use.
• Aquassage Pillows. This moving massage feature provides a truly penetrating neck massage, similar to the massage pillows found in many mail order catalogs. This non-electric pillow is activated by water pressure and fully adjustable.
• Ice Buckets. An ice bucket is the perfect place to keep your refreshments cold and within reach while soaking in your hot tub.
• Snack Areas. Snack areas not only provide a convenient area for drinks and snacks while soaking in your spa, but it is also a great place for towels, books, and eyeglasses.
• Independent Seating Controls. These controls are located within reach at each seat and provide the luxury and added comfort of being able to control the type of massage you choose without having to move.
