Air circulation

Air circulation is also very important in the qualitative usage of the hot tub. This is another key factor, especially when it comes to wooden hot tubs. To be able to use the hot tub for a very long time it would be the best if you could rise the hot tub. In this case, air would circulate freely under the bottom and moisture would easily evaporate. Another thing is the place of the hot tub. For Polypropylene (PP) and Fiberglass tubs there’s no difference but for wooden tubs, this is something to consider. The shade helps algae to grow, that’s why it is highly recommended to set up the base for a wooden hot tub in a sunnier spot.
