Sauna and Hot Tub Accessories: Enhance Your Experience

If you’re upgrading your backyard, adding a sauna or hot tub can transform it into a personal retreat—a place to unwind and enjoy your home to the fullest. Here are our top accessory recommendations to elevate your sauna or hot tub experience.

Our Must-Have Hot Tub Accessories For Your Backyard

Hot tubs provide various ways to relax and enjoy, whether indoors or outdoors, enhancing any setting. Most hot tubs include jets for massage and hydrotherapy purposes. These designs offer ways to control the experience through temperature, jet intensity, and even nighttime lights. The materials, size, and features will vary depending on the brand. However, they’re considered an excellent getaway and great for group gatherings regardless of season. 

For hot tubs, accessories can vary, as each brand comes with its specifications for use. However, below, you’ll find some much-needed accessories from some of the top brands in Canada that you won’t want to miss out on: 

Transition Easy With Add-on Hot Tub Steps 

Hot tub steps might seem minor, but sturdy, non-slip steps, like the DuraStep II, are essential for safety and convenience. Besides preventing accidents, they add a sleek, stylish touch to your setup.

Protect Your Deck with Clean Spa Patio Pads 

Outdoor hot tubs can lead to water damage on wooden decks. Adding deck or patio pads is a simple way to protect your deck. These pads, like the SmartDeck patio system, offer a flat surface for any outdoor space. These spa pads are made to support the weight and integrity of your hot tub and can be custom-shaped into any configuration for your hot tub needs. 

Keep Your Water Clean With Chlorinating Tablets 

Chlorinating tablets are a great addition to your accessory kit for those who use chlorine to keep their hot tub water free of bacteria. Chlorine tablets help keep water clean by gradually releasing chlorine, which reduces bacteria buildup. These chlorine pucks are great dispensers when you don’t have the time to do a manual clean, and through trusted brands like Spa Life, you can take advantage of this tool and use your hot tub’s benefits more.  

Protect Your Hot Tub Using Filter Cartridges

The heater system is the heart of its mechanism when designing hot tubs. For those who need their filter cleaned and changed, the best way is to have filter cartridges that can handle the demand. One way to get through the confusion of purchasing filters is to search for a universal filter cartridge, such as the Pleatco Rainbow 50. These filters are compatible with most hot tub designs and offer the benefit of using the entire cartridge for better flow rates so you can enjoy your hot tub without a care in the world. 

Recommended Sauna Accessories To Sweat In Style  

Unlike hot tubs, saunas offer a completely different experience. Saunas— whether infrared, electric, or steam— work to create either a humid or dry enclosed environment while inside, which can offer many health benefits. Saunas can be used to improve blood circulation, promote better skin health, and, most of all, help you relax. No matter the type of sauna you have, having these accessories on hand will make your sweat session even more luxurious and enjoyable: 

Add A Wifi Connection To Your Outdoor Sauna 

Outdoor saunas offer a perfect private escape, but with a WiFi panel, you can prepare your sauna in advance.  You can do just that through a Wi-Fi panel. Some Wi-Fi panels, such as the HUUM UKU Glass Wi-Fi, allow you to heat your sauna instantly through mobile apps. With a WiFi connection, you can turn on the heat and enjoy your sauna with peace of mind. 

Prevent Accidents With Safety Railings 

Some sauna builds may not include safety railings as an option. Safety railings add an extra layer of protection when interacting with the sauna heater. Hazards can occur in heated environments, and safety railings, such as those used for the HUUM Hive Mini Sauna Heater, can offer the extra protection you need. 

Ensure Proper Ventilation with Chimney Pipe Adapters

Some saunas use wood stoves to generate heat; sometimes, even proper ventilation systems can’t keep up with the smoke. Adding a chimney pipe adapter can help keep the smoke away. It’s an excellent tool for controlling how smoke exits your sauna. Most of all, it’s about providing a safe, breathable sauna experience. 

Bring Tradition To Life With Sauna Stones

In traditional saunas, the quality of your stones matters. It’s important to be selective with your choice of stones. Therefore, stones like the Homecraft H-Series can handle the heat and improve it. These stones are locally sourced from Whistler, Canada, and can evenly distribute heat without breaking down over time. They’re durable, porous, and, most of all, integral to a good sauna experience.
