Title: Cool down seats
Post by: wmccall on March 09, 2005, 10:57:52 am
Does your tub have one? Do you wish it did or didn't? Mine doesn't although my daughter kind of uses the lounger that way.  2 years as an owner, I might consider this were I didn't before.

When I was in retail, I would mention that in every presentation. It's critical I believe and spas with loungers can often be used at the end for a cool down area.

Not many users enjoy jumping out completely and sitting on the edge of the spa so a good cool down seat or seating for younger children is a real advantage in any spa.

I love the cool down seat!  It was a consideration when I was looking!

It is great, especially when I have been in about 30 minutes (which is my limit at 101) but want to stay in a bit longer (work out some extra kinks)!  I cool off enough, that when I get back into one of the jetted seats, it feels so nice and cozy!  I can usually stay an extra 10 to 15 minutes, without feeling like I'm going to pass out!!!

My Prodigy has a cooldown seat and I use it almost every time I'm in the spa.

We have the HS Grandee and one of the reasons I went with that model was because of the cool down seat.  I don't regret it for a min.  Sometimes I get too hot and I'll just sit on the cool down seat for a few min.  Not only that, it's easier to get in and out of the tub.  Initially we were going to go with the Envoy, but I had a hard time getting in and out of that tub, and the lounger wasn't comfortable as I thought it would be, so we decided to go with the Grandee.  The best decision we made and again, love the cool down seat!

My wife uses the cool down seat in our tub.

I don't tend to use it.  I am tall enough, I can sit up straight and use all but the deepest seats, as cool down points.

The cooldown seat on my LSX doubles as the entry step into the tub which is essential to me.  I use it occasionally as a seat....since I run the tub around 99 overheating is not a problem.

My cooldown seat is my swimming pool.   It is so invigorating to jump in and then back to the spa, and then back to the pool, and then back to the spa,  and then...whack!   Sorry my record's got a scratch.

A old gym I use to belong to when I was young and even more stupid, had a ice bath. It was like a round inground tub you might find at a hotel, but only big enough for one person.  If the swimming pool was too cold a quick dip there would make it feel great. Everytime I get inflammation in my shoulders I wish that was still around.

My tub has 2 cool down seats, both with great jet therapy. Without a doubt they are the most used seats in the tub. I wouldn't consider buying a tub without one.

My wifes ony request was a cool down seat. The one in the HS Vanguard allows her to lay back and lounge out. Very nice! Even I will use it.

Like most people here..love the cool down seat. Was a BIG selling point for me as I tend to get hot faster than wife. My TR Siberian has many different level seating positions so i usually sit in the one that sfeeps me a little out of water and then move to cool down seat if needed. Love it and wouldn't buy a tub without it for sure if at all possible!

I didn't give it much thought while I was shopping. I've never been in a "portable" hot tub and only been in a couple of commercial tubs.

I guess shopping for a tub might be one of those purchases where experience helps. Or as you live with the tub, you realize what you want or don't want in your next model.

It is a wise idea to buy a spa with a cool down seat. Believe it or not when you body gets too hot from high temp water, it is a good feeling to sit on a cool down seat , regardless of the sub degree temps outside. Also it is a nice spot for a small person , or even a child to sit. Hope this can help anyone in question of a "cool down" seat.

You forgot to mention that it's the only seat you don't feel like you are drowning!

Congrats on making the 1000 club! I think it's time for you to graduate to spa sales!! ;)

Hmmm....could prove interesting!!!

OK, now I understand why you cleared your number and started over!

BTW, I hear the same thing about why I drive a Hummer! (hope it's working!) ;)
