Confessions of a ThermoSpas Employee

As the weather starts getting a little cooler I can’t think of a better reason to use your hot tub. Take advantage of one of the best seasons of the year, combine the crisp air with the bubbling warm waters, for a Fall Hot Tub Party!! 

The weekends almost here so why not start planning a romantic evening under the stars or maybe invite a bunch of friends over for a soothing dip before or after the big game on Sunday.  Here are a few things to consider for your party:

1. Save the cocktails for after, unfortunately alcohol effects you much more quickly in a hot tub and the effects can be felt for much longer.  Why not try a mocktail, a fake cocktail that tastes delish, my favorite is equal parts soda water to pomegranate juice garnished with a cherry or a lime.
2. Avoid glass around the hot tub opt for plastic cups and serving platters.
3. Finger food!  Serve finger food that is easily accessible and won’t make a mess or become soggy such as:
            – Cut up vegetables with dip
            – Cheese and crackers
            - Fruit platter
            - Anything on a stick — chicken, veggies, fruit, or a combination of all of these.
4. Have extra swimsuits and towels available for your guests and suggest that they rinse off before entering the tub to avoid excess oils and chemicals getting into the tub.
5. Check water balance before the party to make sure the water is clean and clear.
6. Create a playlist for your MP3 player that fits the mood for your party – whether it be romantic songs, dance favorites, or some high energy hits to get pumped up for the football game the right music will create the right mood.
7. Most of all relax, enjoy the weekend and have fun with your guests!
