hi there have you ever wondered what accessories that you need for your hot
tub to make it the absolute best experience
that you could possibly have and maybe even protect it a little bit
stay tuned and i'll give you all the deets on the stuff you need for your hot
tub
hey hot tubbers it's jackie the hot tub lady and i'm super excited you're here
because the goal on this channel is to make you a happy hot tub owner
today i'm going to talk about everything that you need for accessories
to make your hot tub the absolute best experience that it can be
and my number one before we get into that just a few details about this video
all these things can be purchased on amazon i am an affiliate so i do get
a little commission for that but i will number each one of these so that they're
easy for you to find down below in the description and i also
do a time stamp as well my number one thing is the storm
shell outdoor tv enclosure for us this was an absolute game changer i can
tell you that my husband frank will use the hot
tub 70 more than he was before and you guys
know me you know i love to use my hot tub i use it all the time
he uses it quite a bit but it's kind of a struggle to get him in there and he's
usually in and out 10 15 minutes and he's good
and then he moves on this storm shell tv spa enclosure
i will put a picture right over here so you can see it and i'm also going to put
a little video of frank using it is so simple to use it was a
little bit of a booger to get hung up on the wall but it's once we got
it hung up on the wall it's fantastic never have to worry about it i live in
south dakota it's cold it's freezing and you know we just got to fix that so
we hung this tv up and i did buy a really inexpensive tv
because i wanted to see how this actually worked i'll put a link but both
the storm storm shell and the tv that i purchased
out there we did hook up to cable because it's really important at our
house that you just press the button and everything works
we don't do the streaming and that type of thing which i do watch a lot of
youtube videos out there but frank prefers to hit okay and we're
and we're good to go we did talk to the cable company we
talked to the electrician we talked to a few people
and they said hey if you put yeah if the tv's in this box and it's not going to
get wet it'll be totally fine and it can handle
this i'll be interested to see how it does in the summer when it gets super
hot but so far in the winter it was
fantastic it did a super good job frank loves to watch his
sports so we watch his sports out there in the tv now that the our tv i did the
smaller one just because we're not too far away from it and i'll show a video
here of of us in the hot tub and then we got
the tv off in the background we're probably
15 feet from the hot tub and i'll tell you it's perfect
the sounds is great the everything is absolutely awesome on it we can hear
it we can hear it over the jets we watch movies we watch sports it's a
really really good thing and in my personal opinion
has improved the investment in my hot tub because we are now spending more
time in it so i do highly highly recommend
this in bringing up my ipad and i'm bringing up stuff
as we do the number two thing is the echo dot second generation
so i currently have the echo tap is what i have and for music for me
it is the absolute best thing i actually have speakers on my hot tub but i
actually prefer to take that echo tap outside i talk to it i say her name
she she then plays the music i don't have to get my wet hands on it
or do any of that stuff and it's the sound is incredible it sounds amazing
i actually set it on a little table beside the hot tub so it's not on the
edge so somebody can actually knock it in but what i what i found for
you guys because they no longer make the tap
is the echo dot second generation speaker dock
so there's a picture of it and i'll i'll put a picture over here as well
the cool thing about this is is you actually take your echo second
generation you stick it inside this speaker and
then you can carry it with you it doesn't have to be plugged in
and so it's a really good uh i do have one on order i just it was time to shoot
the video i will let you guys know how it sounds
but the echo tap sounds amazing and i love the
convenience of just it's a smart speaker and i can talk to
it so there's a description down below of that so you can definitely check that
out hey guys it's future editing jackie and
just realized that i forgot to talk about the outdoor camera
and the one i absolutely love for you guys i actually have it on my front
front door outside but it actually is a wireless camera that you don't have to
have a hub for the only thing that you need
is wi-fi and so once you have your wi-fi it connects to that
and the reason you need this for your hot tub is a
it's a little piece of mind that you know you get a notification if somebody
is actually using your hot tub but more importantly like on my hot tub
there's a ready light i'll show a picture of that right over
here some future day when we get to travel again
and it's december or january and i'm in on a nice toasty beach somewhere and
it's snowing and the blue light goes off on my hot tub
and i can just check my phone then i can just call back home and say
hey guys well i need somebody to go check on the hot tub
my service department would go take care of that in a heartbeat even if it's a
neighbor or something like that and you can put in your freeze guard
protection kit which i'll you'll see later in the video it's a
really really good idea to do it this camera is fantastic it literally
you hang it up and you mount it and you change the batteries every once in a
while and it's good to go highly highly highly recommend that make
sure that you do that and hey guys if you're getting any value
at all out of this video give me a thumbs up ring the bell hit
the subscribe button do all the things that help me help you
become a happy hot tub owner next thing i have is the unbreakable
wine glasses and you guys so this right here this is a plastic wine
glass i mean you can't can't do anything to this i've had this
i bet 10 years it was the absolute absolute
first thing i bought as an accessory for my hot tub but i've had these for a
really long time i do put them in the dishwasher
they go out to the hot tub with me i sometimes i'll actually just drink my
glass my wine out of this glass versus a regular glass i'm kind of a wine snob
and i do like the really thin rim and that's what i love about these
plastic glasses is they have a really thin rim this is actually a glass glass
and you can see that it's got a thicker rim you know
um and this is a real cheap one that i probably just bought at a local
big box store you know this is this will definitely break and you do not want
glass in your hot tub these will not i absolutely love these
again i'll show the picture of them in the description down below
but if you're looking for a way to have a nice glass of wine out there
i don't know i just i for me i can't do the tumblers and i can't i when i want
wine i want it and it is stemware so but the cool thing about this company
is they actually they make them all if you need a beer
glass or a highball glass or a bourbon glass or whatever you're
looking for this company has them all in in plastic and they're really well made
so i highly recommend these these are a really good thing i have for
you guys is privacy privacy
shades and i actually so back in my house in sioux falls i actually had
these the cool thing about these is cold here
it snows the wind blows the wind blows like crazy i have
all my friends or i've had a lot of buy uh a pergola you know one of those tent
pergolas that you can put up the wind blows and it's wrecked and you do that
twice and you're like i'm out it's i'm not doing
this anymore we'll just figure it out well these shades you can actually
so they stand upright versus a vertical shade that's a roller shade that comes
down these shades go horizontal and so you
mount them into the ground and then you have mount another little
spot for it to just sit in so you open it while you're using the
hot tub gives you all the privacy gives you the windbreak
but then when you're done you roll it back up it can snow it can storm it can
do whatever but nothing's going to happen to it and
they're so inexpensive you guys like a corner unit and it's 200 and some
odd dollars paired to what it would cost you to do a
latticework or fence or something like that
i had them they worked fantastic i really wish i would have took a picture
when they were up at my house in in sioux falls highly recommend them you
guys these these are absolutely amazing if you're looking for some privacy this
is a good way to do the next thing is the submersible pump
i have talked to you guys about this a lot i
absolutely hate draining the hot tub from the drain it takes all day
and i hate getting down there and trying to scraping my knuckles getting the hose
hooked up all that stuff but this guy here i'm gonna grab it for
you here real quick this guy here is awesome
i don't know if you can see all that the the trick to this is this big two-inch
hose this guy right there you just roll it
out into the yard i do during my hot tubs right out into the yard
and you throw this in the in the tub while the water's running
and or while it was full of water turn the breakers off
i timed it last time it took me 32 minutes to drain my 500 gallon hot tub
with just this pump i didn't do anything else so it was awesome and only the only
reason it took that long was because the hose popped
off that is an absolute must-have if you don't
buy actually there's one more on here that you absolutely must buy
so this is the number two item that you you should get
but it is the professional easy travel collection submersible
pump with a 25 inch water hose the trick is that hose if you don't
if you just hook up a garden hose to it which you can do gonna
go as fast so make sure you get the big two inch heavy duty
hose you don't want to get one of the really cheap plastic ones because those
do rip and tear and and you're rolling this up quite a bit
so highly highly highly highly recommend that
the next thing i have is the bucket heater now this is the number one thing
you need to buy and you need to buy it now because it's on sale it's actually
like 47 now at the time of shooting last year when i did the last video
about how to protect your hot tub in the winter it was like over a hundred
dollars so now is the time to buy that so buy that in the summer
but you take that submersible bucket heater you stick it inside
of a five gallon bucket if your hot tub freezes up your filters are dirty
and it trips the breaker and that type of thing you just plug that in and you
set that whole bucket inside of the hot tub
and it will save you it will save your hot tub it'll save you tens of thousands
of dollars if you do that so buy it now while it's on sale keep it
in the garage peace of mind and i would also add maybe a little
space heater but that's your winter winter survival kit but you definitely
want to buy that now and that'll help you that'll
definitely help you as well i'm thirsty here's my little bonus one this this
this water bottle this is my absolute favorite water
bottle because it mark tells me how much where i need to be
i've had a lot of water bottles this one is absolutely my favorite i'll link it
down below too it's not really part of the hot tub accessories but
it's pretty awesome it fits in my drink drink holder on my really long commute
which you guys all are aware that i have anyway the next item i have next item i
have is the no peeing in the hot tub sign
i found this one i'm gonna link it right over here it's great
it's a great sign i i almost i think i'm going to buy it i'll put a picture of
the one that my neighbors actually got me for christmas last year
but you don't think that you need to mention it but you need to mention it
and this is a really cute way of crossing that bridge and so when you
when you have you don't want them to pee in your hot tub
so it's it's fun it works it's cheap and it's cute so put it out by the hot tub
it it'll make a difference i promise you it'll definitely make a difference it's
a cute sign and it's just it's it'll save you a
lot of money in the long run because you're not going to go through as much
chemical towel warmer this guy this thing you
guys i just got this it looks like a little
towel or little hamper i actually set mine right
inside the door i was going to set it outside and i
think i might during the winter months but
we always step in before take just one step in the sliding glass door
and then that towel warmer is ready to go it is plugged in and i have it full
at all times i even got frank to do laundry look at
that and he's he's putting them putting it away
but you just hit the button when you head out to the hot tub by the time you
get done you got this nice warm towel and i didn't think i needed
it i need it it's it's totally awesome and
you have to have it so splurge take care of yourself and get
one of those that they're pretty they're pretty awesome to have and then
the other thing that i've mentioned many many many times
is the on-the-go water softener if you have
i don't know if you guys can see this thing here if you have a saltwater
system you absolutely have to get this thing it
uh it'll it'll change your life and it's
you only have to buy it once and it'll keep your water soft i have a
couple hacks that you can do that you can soften that water without
having to buy other items such as the vanishing
act or that type of thing so you have to buy it one time your salt
sales will last longer if your water's in the perfect
perfect condition so it is a money saver in the long run really important that
you have one of those i'll link that down below you can also get those at
your local dealer if you just want to buy one from amazon
i'll have that link right down below and then the last thing i got this is my
favorite this is the all-star are these i don't even get paid for
these i just think they're so cool uh this is the aluminum it's actually
aluminum solo it's not a solo cup but it reminds
me of that it's it's a disposable cup but this
thing you guys keeps your drinks so cold even if you
don't have a hot tub you need this this is absolutely amazing you put it in
you just put ice in it and it just oh my gosh it's like having a little mini yeti
that you don't care if you lose or not but they come in a box
of 30 they are amazing and they're inexpensive at the time of this they
were on sale for like 19 this this cup here my neighbor brought
over to me she's like oh you got to try these
i fell in love with them this is this is still the cup that she gave me it says
you're not supposed to put them in the dishwasher but i've put this through the
dishwasher probably seven or eight times i've had
this one for two months now you know if it
any other cup i would have thrown away but i just think it is so cool
and it's just it's plastic you can't get glass in the in the tub
keeps your drinks really cold i love it i think i think everybody needs it
