of Hot Tubs
The Japanese practiced a family custom for centuries. When the Occupation forces returned home from Japan after World War II, they brought that custom back to America. Our first Hot-Tub-Spas was inspired by their knowledge and admiration of the Japanese custom of hot water bathing in freestanding wooden tubs called "ofuro".
These early prototypes, inspired by the "ofuro", were sometimes makeshift, often ingeniously made from used oak barrels and vats from the nearby wineries of the region.
Now, Hot-Tub-Spas or hot water bathing has been a part of our culture for many years.

When the industry began building tubs of molded fiberglass or with thermoplastic shells, they were given the tag "spa" to differentiate them from their wooden cousins.
A spa, usually made of fiberglass or concrete, requires a supporting structure, or must be installed into the ground--or you can choose a portable spa suited for indoor-outdoor use.
Exercise some caution when using your spa or hot tub. Don't set the temperature above 104 degrees F. Don't drink alcohol before or during your hot bath. And don't stay in too long.
