New Year, Better Water, Better Soaks

As we step into a brand-new year, we’re surrounded by talk of resolutions—eat better, move more, stress less.

This year, we’d like to suggest a different kind of resolution…Make your hot tub healthier.

When your spa’s water is clean, balanced, and properly cared for, everything else falls into place. Your soaks feel better, your equipment lasts longer, and your hot tub becomes the relaxing retreat it was meant to be.

Water Care Workshops

To support your New Year’s resolution for a healthier hot tub, we’re excited to kick off our monthly Water Care Workshops.

These in-store workshops are designed to remove the guesswork from spa maintenance and help you feel confident caring for your hot tub’s water. You’ll learn how to properly test and balance your water, understand what your spa actually needs, and avoid common mistakes that can lead to cloudy water or unnecessary wear on your equipment.

Whether you’re a new spa owner or simply want a refresher, these workshops are a great way to start the year strong—and enjoy better soaks all year long.

Seeing Foam in Your Hot Tub? Here’s Why

If you’ve ever noticed foam forming on the surface of your hot tub water, don’t panic—but don’t ignore it either.

Foam is usually a sign that something extra has made its way into your spa water. Common culprits include:

Lotions, soaps, and body oils
Laundry detergent residue in swimsuits
Cosmetics and hair products
Imbalanced water chemistry

While foam doesn’t always mean something is wrong, it does mean your water needs a little attention.

What to Do:

Test and balance your water regularly to keep foam-causing buildup in check
Avoid soaking in everyday clothing like t-shirts, which can introduce detergents and fibers into the water
Rinse swimsuits thoroughly before soaking to remove laundry residue
Soak in your birthday suit—if possible 😉 (it’s actually one of the best ways to keep unwanted residue out of your water)
Use spa-safe solutions specifically designed to break down foam without harming your water chemistry

Why Winter Soaking Feels Better

There’s something undeniably special about soaking in a hot tub during the winter months—and it’s not just about staying warm.

When cold air meets warm water, your body responds almost immediately. Muscles relax faster, circulation increases, and tension begins to melt away. The contrast between the cool outdoor air and heated water creates a deeply soothing experience that’s difficult to replicate any other time of year.

1. Faster Muscle Relaxation & Recovery

Cold weather often brings stiffness and sore muscles. Warm water helps increase blood flow, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tired muscles while easing aches and tension. The result? You feel looser, lighter, and more relaxed after a winter soak.

2. Better Sleep on Cold Nights

Winter soaking can help prepare your body for rest. Soaking before bed raises your core temperature, and as your body cools afterward, it signals that it’s time to sleep. Many hot tub owners find they fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply after an evening soak.

3. Stress Relief When You Need It Most

The winter season can feel busy, heavy, and overstimulating. A hot tub offers a built-in pause—a quiet place to breathe, reset, and let the day go. Steam rises, phones stay inside, and the outside world fades for a while.

4. The Power of Contrast Therapy

Stepping out of a hot tub into cool winter air can feel invigorating. This natural contrast can leave you feeling refreshed, energized, and mentally clear. It’s one of the reasons winter soaking feels so memorable.

5. A Deeper Sense of Comfort & Ritual

In winter, soaking becomes less about convenience and more about intention. It’s a ritual—something you look forward to at the end of the day. Add soft lighting, a favorite scent, or a quiet playlist, and your hot tub becomes your personal winter retreat.

6. More Use, More Value

Many spa owners are surprised to discover they actually use their hot tubs more in winter than summer. Cooler evenings make soaking more comfortable, and the experience feels more rewarding when the contrast is greater.

In the colder months, a hot tub isn’t just a luxury—it’s a source of warmth, wellness, and connection. Winter soaking reminds us that sometimes the best moments happen when we slow down and lean into the season instead of rushing through it.

The Power of a Traditional Sauna

Traditional saunas—often called Finnish-style saunas—have been used for generations for one simple reason: deep, restorative heat.

Unlike other wellness experiences, a traditional sauna uses a heated rock system where water is poured over the stones, creating bursts of steam and intense, dry heat. This type of heat doesn’t just feel good—it triggers powerful responses in the body that many people can’t get anywhere else.

Here’s what makes traditional sauna use so unique:

Deep, Cleansing Sweat: Traditional sauna heat encourages profuse sweating, which many people value as a way to flush out impurities that build up through everyday life. This isn’t a light perspiration—it’s a full-body sweat that leaves you feeling lighter, clearer, and refreshed afterward.

Heat Conditioning for the Body: Regular sauna use helps your body adapt to heat over time. This process—often referred to as heat conditioning—can improve tolerance to temperature changes and help your body respond more efficiently to stress.

Circulation & Cardiovascular Support: As your body warms, blood vessels expand and circulation increases. This response helps deliver oxygen throughout the body and supports overall cardiovascular function in a way that feels natural and restorative.

Mental Clarity & Stress Release: The intensity of sauna heat naturally encourages stillness. There’s nothing to multitask—just breathe, relax, and be present. Many sauna users describe a mental “reset” that comes from stepping away from screens, noise, and distractions.

The Steam + Cool Down Ritual: One of the hallmarks of traditional sauna culture is the contrast between heat and cooling off. Pouring water over the rocks creates steam that intensifies the experience, followed by a cool-down that leaves you feeling energized and renewed.

This ritual—heat, steam, rest—has stood the test of time because it works.

Traditional saunas aren’t about rushing or pushing limits. They’re about slowing down, listening to your body, and letting heat do what it’s always done best—restore balance.

If you’ve been considering a traditional sauna for your home, now is the perfect time.

We currently have Traditional and Infrared Saunas in stock at Coastal Spa & Patio—designed to deliver authentic sauna heat with modern craftsmanship and ease of use.
