Labor Day weekend is a popular holiday for people to cather with their friends and family to celebrate and close out the summer season. If you are lucky enough to have a hot tub in your backyard, then you already know how enjoyable it can be to incorporate it into your social events. Our experts from Valley Hot Spring Spas are here to share some tips and tricks that can help take your hot tub experience to the next level this weekend.

Preparing Your Hot Tub for Guests

Before inviting others over to enjoy your hot tub, it is important to make sure everything is clean and in working order. This includes checking the chemical levels of the water and adjusting them if necessary. It’s also a good idea to skim any debris off the surface of the water and clean out the filters to ensure a clear and inviting hot tub experience for your guests.

Setting the Mood

To truly make your hot tub experience special, consider setting the mood with some ambient lighting. You can string fairy lights around your backyard or place outdoor candles strategically around the hot tub area. This will create a cozy and inviting atmosphere for you and your guests to relax in. Additionally, playing some relaxing music can add another layer of ambiance to the experience.

Fun Extras

If you want to take your hot tub party to the next level, consider adding some accessories like waterproof playing cards or floating drink holders. These small touches can make all the difference in creating a fun and enjoyable atmosphere for everyone. You could also set up a small snack station nearby with light and refreshing treats to enjoy while soaking in the hot tub.

Staying Safe

As with any water activity, it is important to prioritize safety when using your hot tub. Make sure everyone knows the rules and guidelines for using the hot tub, such as not staying in too long or avoiding alcohol consumption while in the water. Additionally, always have someone designated as a “hot tub monitor” who can ensure that everyone is following safety protocols and intervene if needed.
