If you’ve got an old hot tub in the backyard (like many Colorado homeowners), maybe it’s time to appreciate the history of the hot tub. We’re not talking about where your hot tub came from originally, but where hot tubs originated from. As with all the cool things we have in our society, once again we can point to the ancient Greeks as one of the first civilized cultures to discover therapeutic benefits of sinking into a hot bath chock full of mineral waters. Once they discovered that bathing in the ocean was good for what ailed them, it was only a matter of time before they brought the ocean indoors, so to speak.Actually it was the original doctor, Hippocrates who developed the idea of bathing in warm water to help cure the body. When he wasn’t busy writing oaths for future doctors, Hippocrates was working on this theory that all diseases could be caused by an imbalance of the bodily fluids. To get back that balance, the doc prescribed a change of habits including more walking, massages and time in the tub. This was all going down around 470 B.C.
This idea of Greek hydrotherapy continued over at the Ancient Spa of Therma in Ikaria. Turns out that the island of Ikaria is bursting with hot springs (much like Colorado). These are still around today and considered to be among the best in the world. Those hot springs have been attributed with curing all kinds of ailments like rheumatism, arthritis and even infertility. Flash ahead to modern times and you’ll find this concept of soaking in a hot tub is still a popular way to relax. Especially in Colorado where people live extremely active lifestyles; after a day of skiing or hiking in the mountains the best way to have the muscles relax is to soak in a hot tub.
But what happens when your hot tub is out of date, busted or leaking? It might be time to get rid of that old model and bring in a new fully charged version. This can make a huge difference in your relaxation factor. If you’re looking to make the swap to a new model, then you should also be looking at a Colorado Springs hot tub disposal crew like Junk King.
Taking down a hot tub is not a one man job. It’s going to take a crew of strong workers to disassemble the unit and break down all its parts. Even if you do your own demolition, then what? There are some pieces of that hot tub that simply won’t fit in the family SUV. That’s when you’ll need to rent a truck or van to cart it all away. Is that something you really want to be dealing with? You don’t have to if you turn over the disposal job to an experienced crew who has the muscle and the means to get rid of the tub.
Once that old hot tub is taken away you’ll have the option of having it replace with an above ground or built in spa. Suppose you moved into a home with a busted hot tub you couldn’t ever use? Does that mean you shouldn’t get a new tub? Absolutely not! You only have to spend an hour in a warm hot tub to know that’s the best place to be after a hard day at work!
