The Almond's Serenity 5900 & BBQ Cabin
At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac one sunny day, we visited the Almonds to check out how they have incorporated their Serenity 5900 hot tub and BBQ cabin into their lovely garden.
We caught up with Mandy after to see how her hot tub has influenced her lifestyle.
Check out our interview below.
The interview below has been edited slightly for clarity.
What was your main reason for buying a hot tub?
I decided about 5 years ago, approximately, to invest in a hot tub for relaxation and health reasons.
When you were first looking for hot tubs, did you look at Hydropool? How did you go about finding us? And did you consider any hot tub alternatives or other brands?
One of my clients had bought a hot tub and was very impressed with the Hydropool brand. She was also using it regularly for relaxation but mainly for health purposes as she was into fitness and running and found it perfect to use after exercise.
I hadn’t considered any other alternatives to a hot tub as it suited my needs. I looked at other brands but Hydropool North West was perfect for me with design and the price range was very good.
How did you find the planning and installation process?
The planning and installation was stress free with no problems, as Hydropool North West came out to check our space in advance and kept us reassured it was all in good hands with them.
My main concern was getting it into the area and that it wouldn’t be too close to the neighbours border. But it was all planned to perfection and placed in an area of our garden that was perfect.
The area of our garden that it was placed in was normally quite unused and has added a luxurious feel to that space.
How often do you use your hot tub? Has it helped your health?
The hot tub is used on average four to five times a week. I use it for relaxation and after exercise but I also suffer from lower back pain and sciatica and it has been so beneficial to my recovery during flare ups relieving the pain and the jets can massage in the area needed in a high pressure or low to whatever feels best, it has really helped speed up recovery and also put me in a better mindset as pain affects you in many ways. I couldn’t now be without it.
I enhance the relaxation time by adding the aromatherapy mood crystals that give a lovely aroma and it really makes you feel like you’re in a spa.
How do you find caring for your hot tub?
The care of the hot tub is simple. I check my chemical levels once a week and put in the treatment chemicals needed and wash the filter once a week. Also I use surface cleaner to wipe round the water level once a week in case of scum. I change the water about every three months but that’s just a personal preference as it’s used a lot. The water still looks fresh even at three months.
Would you recommend people buy a hot tub for themselves?
I would highly recommend buying a hot tub to anyone for relaxation, fun, family but certainly for health and injury recovery. It’s so beneficial.
What do you think of the aftercare services of Hydropool North West?
The aftercare services of Hydropool North West have been 10/10. Excellent reliable, helpful service.
Having a BBQ Cabin and a Hot Tub— are they the perfect pair?
We don’t use the cabin a lot but when we do it’s fab and great if you have friends round for drinks. The kids in the family love it and probably someone with children may use it more.
It’s good if you’ve been in the tub and then just relax and listen to music in there. It does encourage you to use the hot tub again.
