Title: Warm towels?
Post by: tansu on November 05, 2004, 01:13:20 pm
Anyone figure a way to have warm towels ready on exit?
Microwave? Electric smoker? Space heater + box?

If you have a small portable cooler, you can warm them in the dryer and put them in the cooler.  That will keep them warm for a while.

And no, it doesnt have to be a COLEMAN cooler.   ;)

Try preheating them in the dryer and keeping them next to the spa in a cooler (or heater, as it were :)).  Maybe even throw one of those microwavable heating pads in there too.  And don't forget to drop a robe or two in as well.

If you have a TP spa cut grooves in the side of it near the motors, build a cabinet against the spa over the grooves and put towel hooks in it. Might work well if your selling tamales also.....

I am building mini-closet on deck, next to tub, for robes, towels and slippers. This cabinet will be ceder outside, insulated with foam board, (about 1 inch thick), with built in heater (kick-space, under cabinet heater) controled by twist-dial timer. The idea being, when you go out to tub, turn timer for approx. time you expect to be in water, and when you get out, everything will be warm. Also building steps with draws to place shoes/slippers to keep them dry.  What do you think???  Framing for deck just starting now, will provide pictures as we progress! ;D

That's a great idea! You just described a very efficient thermal pane design much like the one Coleman spas uses. I'm sure it will work well for you and I'll look forward to seeing your pictures.

Spahappy :D

Turn the water temperature to 104, stay in 30-40 minutes.

You won't need warm towels!

Coast Spas offers a "Towel Warmer" as an option! ;) This will keep your towels warm as you watch your LCD TV etc. I thought that these things were to help you relax and escape from our complicated world! I agree with Drewski by the way!

I built a cedar box with a light bulb below a thin metal divider, the towels go above the divider, theres a switch on the outside, and a hinged lid. Drop in towels, throw switch, soak, open lid, warm towel, throw switch.

I was going to suggest you could pay$11000 for a Thermospa with the towell option.
