A hot tub is a large tub or small pool full of heated water and used for soaking, relaxation, massage, or hydrotherapy. In most cases, they have jets for massage purposes. Newer models have lights and music accessories.
These wooden hot tubs lacked effervescence and bubbles. By 1965, free sprits, "hippies" began flooding the coast of California with little money, and lots of free time on their hands and they started the proliferation of wooden hot tubs. Most of these tubs were homemade with smoke-belching wood fired heaters. Water circulation, filtration, and sanitation were a little hit and miss.
The original hot tubs were made of wood, taken from the oak barrel and wine tanks, which eventually evolved into the red wood hot tubs. The wood hot tubs were hard to keep clean and were continually leaking.
Most spas or hot tubs are now vacuum formed with a self contained spa pack. The majority of spas have all electric controls and heat source with a variety of pump sizes and numbers available. More jets, music and aerators have moved the spa into the realm of an entertainment center.
In 1994, a small manufacturer of hot tubs in Edmonton, Alberta, went into receivership. It was purchased by a local entrepreneur and reincorporated as Blue Falls Manufacturing, but continued to lose money. In 1997, the company was sold to the present owners, all of whom had been involved as dealers selling the product. "The owners decided to change the brand name to one that would set the brand apart...Bringing their own twist to the hot tub market, they came up with the name 'Arctic Spas' which highlighted the ability of Blue Falls' hot tubs to withstand extremely cold temperatures. They also designed a new logo featuring a polar bear.... In an industry dominated by images of palm trees and sunshine, the new name and logo 'definitely stood out'.
Artic Spas were a popular brand of self-contained hot tub which bill itself as a hot tub made for Canadian winters by a Canadian company. There were some problems with their Ozone equipment and some complaints about service. They have left the Barrie area and have been replaced by Jacuzzi.
