7#p    RBTX$\^bfhl PRESS RELEASE 21 June 2005 Cool Hot Tubs for Summer Heat Wave The recent June temperatures climbing to levels last witnessed in the hot summer of 1976 and the possibility of further hot weather has driven many of us to think of ways to find a cool and comfortable refuge. One way is to have a dip in your own private pool. However, there is an attainable alternative, which does not require a large garden and celebrity status, and that is a hot tub. Despite their name, a hot tub can provide the ideal cool and relaxing environment to escape a sweltering day, as their temperature can be set across a wide range to suit personal preferences, cool for summer or warm for a cold winters night. According to the trade association, the British and Irish Hot Tub Association (BISHTA), sales of hot tubs in the UK doubled during 2004. There are now more than 100,000 homes in the UK with a hot tub. One family, living in Farnborough, Hampshire, benefiting from hot tub cool are Caroleanne Baker or Caz a shopping centre manager and her husband, Ron Baker, a facilities manager, and their son, eight year old, Sam and daughter, five year old, Jasmin. They have a Platinum 40 eight seater hot tub, installed by Hindhead Hot Tubs, Hindhead, Surrey. Caz says: The hot tub is a superb way to relax and cool off on a hot summers day. You feel really refreshed and revived by the cool bubbling jets. Of course the children absolutely love it. To provide shade in summer we have a wind-up parasol. Following Met Office figures showing that rainfall across the country from November to May was the fourth lowest since 1914, and the news of water restrictions being issued in some southern areas of England, hot tubs have a major advantage over pools in requiring less water. It is also possible to recycle the water back, using it in the garden when changing the water. Another family enjoying their hot tub in the summer are Christine Vickery, 61, and Paul Vickery, 60, who are both retired and live in a three-bedroom detached bungalow. Their son, Jason, is abroad, but their daughter, Emma lives locally. They have been enjoying a Tango 42 Turbo hot tub, installed by Hindhead Hot Tubs, with 42 hydrotherapy jets since December last year, located on the patio outside the dining room. Paul says: I use the hot tub around six time a week, while our daughter and son in law are frequent visitors and are also fans of the hot tub. Its great to sit, relax and chat. Its wonderful to sit in the hot tub and avoid feeling sweaty and hot and bothered on a humid day. Even more fun we can sit and relax accompanied by our friends and family.
