hether used for a social setting or for their hydrotherapy benefits, hot tubs in their various guises have managed to become a mainstream must-have leisure product and have well and truly shaken off being viewed as a novelty or sometimes even tacky item. From suburban back gardens to holiday lodges and sports clubs to footballers, mansions – the popularity, reach and acceptance of hot tubs has never been greater. With demand from both domestic consumers and commercial clients in the year ahead expected once again to be strong, brands need to keep their offering fresh – and that means the introduction of new ranges, further enhancing existing models or implementing the latest technological innovations, all to keep one step ahead of the competition in what is already a highly competitive market. Hot tubs really is a sector where the saying ‘if you snooze, you lose’ applies! So what’s new for the season ahead? Well we round up just some of what’s on offer in this constantly evolving sector.

Rob Carlin, Managing Director of Superior Spas explained: “We are in a very fortunate position that we can now approach major manufacturers and they know who we are, or in some cases they have approached
us. The one thing that was missing from our portfolio was a well-respected and quality American manufacturer and therefore we reached out to Dynasty Spas to produce a new line of spas.” Rob continued: “So after many exchanges and meetings at the Dynasty factory and seeing first-hand the impressive facilities they have, both parties agreed it was the ideal opportunity to further enhance what we, Superior Spas, can offer as a company.”
