Hot Tub Fragrances Aromatherapy

Adding hot tub fragrance to a spa creates another dimension of enjoyment. Instant aromatherapy can be enjoyed by adding liquid spa fragrances such as InSpaRation directly to the spa water. These oil and foam free fragrances are specially formulated for use in hot tub spas.

New aromatherapy products also include spa crystals, which provide not only an aromatherapy experience, but also skin conditioning.

Soft, silky aromatic water is now possible in almost any spa.

Some air-blower assisted aromatherapy canisters require dry pouches of scent and can only be activated by turning on the air blower. Since blowers are often loud, it may negate the sanguine feeling of aroma in the water. 


Aroma fragrance added to hot, bubbling water invigorates the senses. There are so many different varieties and fragrances to choose from on the market. Try a few different scents and enhance your hot tub experience.

Find your aromatherapy hot tub fragrances at Hot Tub Outpost.  We carry most major types and brands of hot tub formulated aromatherapy fragrance.

TS 8485 ThersSauna


4 Person TheraSauna TS8485
The new TheraSauna TS 8485 is the perfect 3-4 person infrared cabin for most any home. Although it can fit up to 4 people, it is mainly used by 1 or 2 people and gives extra wide room for those with a location in the home that can accommodate the extra width.

This is a high quality infrared sauna cabin featuring the patented control system by TheraSauna that allows for continuous output of the most beneficial infrared. 

Clear out toxins and impurities by sweating in your own infrared sauna at relatively low ambient temperatures when compared to hot rock or steam saunas.

Since there is no steam, there is no need for ventilation fans or other complicated installation. No 230 volt power line needed, just plugs into a 120 volt/20 amp power outlet.

The patented StableHeat™ technology is at the core of why Therasauna is superior to most other infrared cabins on the market.

Years of development have resulted in this next-generation control system that is not thermostat based, but digital and outputs the most beneficial infrared wavelength for the human body.

TheraSauna® is the only company building infrared saunas in the USA who uses non-toxic aspen hardwood.  Unlike cedar and other woods used on the market, it is also non-allergenic.

This TS8485 infrared sauna utilizes high glass content solid ceramic TheraMitters™ that provide the best and most beneficial levels of infrared output. The Micron Power Select™ control allows you to vary the infrared output from each individual TheraMitter™ zone and gives complete control of the infrared micron range.

This product is unlike any other infrared sauna cabin on the market today.



TheraSauna® is safe and meets the electrical requirements for ETL and CE in the US, Canada, and Europe.

TheraSauna® emits very low levels of EMF, just hold a gauss meter inside some of the competition's saunas to see the difference.

The TheraSauna TS8485 four person sauna measures 84" W x 53" D x 78" H.

The 7 Day Programmable Touchview Control allows for advanced program so the sauna will automatically pre-heat if desired.

Hot Tub Accessories Complete the Spa Experience

Popular hot tub accessories include steps, cover lifters and even towel warmers.  A step with a hinged lid can provide additional storage space while a three tier step can even provide an integrated towel rack and beverage holder.

A snack tray can create more space within reach to stow beverages of your choice.

The cover lifter is a handy device that mounts to almost any hot tub style to allow one person to open and close the cover with one hand and little effort. 

Spa steps not only provide a safe entrance and exit opportunity from the spa, but also are slip resistant for safety. These steps are all but necessary on deeper tubs as climbing into a 36" spa without a step is not fun and downright unsafe. Some of the better designed spas also continue this safety feature by including walk-in steps inside the hot tub so that you have steps on both sides of the spa wall.


Sure there are also floating playing cards and yellow rubber duckies that float around in circles in the spa.

One necessary set of accessories is the hot tub chemical set. This can include pH up and down, test strips, bromine or chlorine (never mix the two), shock treatment, Sparkle clarifier and Protect stain remover. 

Bromicharge is used to top up bromine salt systems and hot tub fragrances can provide instant aromatherapy.

Of course the accessory that needs regular attention is the hot tub filter. These cartridges last about a year and should be cleaned every few weeks. 

One handier accessory is the movable spa pillow.  Unlike the mounted pillows, these weighted pillows can be draped over any edge of the spa near any seat for an instant pillow. They can also be used over existing acrylic pillows or hard plastic pillows. These soft, weighted large pillows are a welcome addition to almost any hot tub. They don't work so well for in ground spas since the weighted end should hang over an edge, but are ideal for most portable spas to give those seats without pillows a cushion.

Hot Tub Fragrances, Aromatherapy and Accessories

Liquid Hot Tub Fragrances
Hot tub aromatherapy invites the sense of smell to the hot tub spa experience.  Simply add a dash of liquid or crystals directly to the spa water and enjoy instant enlivening of mind, body and spirit - or just enjoy the nice smell!  Got friends coming over?  Mask that chlorine or bromine smell with the fragrance of your choice.  A bonus with many of these liquid and crystal fragrances is that they also have skin softeners included.

Inspiration is one of the leading hot tub fragrance manufacturers with over 40 years of experience and sold online by Hot Tub Outpost. 

Most of these fragrances also have a moisturizer component to help soften skin that can dry out from hot tub chemical use. Spa fragrances some in a wide variety of types including liquids, crystals and pouches.

The liquid fragrances are easy to use and add directly to the hot tub water as needed.  They come in bottles or trial size packets.  These liquids are foam-free and specially made for use in hot tubs and tested by Dupont, Aristech and other leading acrylic manufacturers for suitability in hot tubs.
Does your Jacuzzi spa need aromatherapy?  These liquid fragrances come in a wide variety of scents and fragrances.


Some of these hot tubs have canisters where you put a dry pouch of fragrance. The disadvantage to these types of Aromatherapy canisters is that these are built into the air line, so typically the spa blower needs to be activated in order to circulate the air through the aromatherapy canister and then through the air jets in the hot tub.  Sometimes we just want a quiet water massage in hot water and to enliven the senses with fragrance without activating the spa blower. Also the dry pouches are offered in more limited fragrances. Some hot tubs do not even have a blower or provision for an aromatherapy canister. So the liquid or crystals are the best and easiest to use option. 

The crystals are created with a variety of blends to sooth muscles, soften skin and provide a custom aroma experience.

Hot Tub FragrancesHot tub aromatherapy manufacturers are constantly coming up with new scents and series. Some are made just for kids while others like gingerbread are made just for the holidays.  A new collection called Happy Hour features spa scents like Apple Spatini, Blue Hawaiian, Merlot, Mojito, Spaberry Daiguiri and Moonshine.  I think I'll have a Mojito but use a more traditional scent like Eucalyptus.

Another benefit for aromatherapy in the hot tub is to mask the existing odor of chemicals while
enjoying the spa.  Normally the chemicals should not smell too bad, because if they do you may have a water imbalance issue, but any residual chemical scent can be trumped by a nice liquid or crystal aroma fragrance. These make great gifts too.

The liquid spa fragrances do not contain any alcohol and are completely water soluble.  The liquids come in 9 ounce bottles or 1/2 ounce single serve pillow packetes.

Your Hot Tubs Needs a Quality QCA Spa Filter!


If you are the proud owner of your very own hot tub, then you should be aware of the importance of equipping your tub with the finest quality filter to keep your water clean and sparkling. Filters really are the heart of the tub – after all, without clean water; there is little enjoyment to be found in your hot tub. It’s critical to maintain the cleanliness and sanitization of your spa’s water in order to maximize enjoyment and minimize side-effects that come along with infested waters.


As one of the oldest spa manufacturers in the USA, QCA Spas are one of the best brand names in the hot tub market. These tubs come equipped with optimal water filtration systems to keep your tub’s water as clean and clear as possible. These tubs feature systems for easy access to the cartridge when cleaning or replacement is necessary. Considering how often you should change your spa’s filter, having easy access like this is a great bonus.
Good quality QCA spa filters are constructed using durable fabrics that are multi-layered to ensure that they capture all particles and debris before they infest your water and develop bacteria. Anti-microbial protection is generally built into these filters in order to drastically cut back on bacteria build-up and algae growth. Along with maintaining proper chemical levels of the water, having a well-maintained filter is of paramount importance.
It is important to regularly clean your filter for optimal performance.  It is a good idea to keep a replacement filter on hand.  That way, you can pop the replacement in while you take the dirty filter out to hose off or even soak overnight in a filter cleaning solution.  You can leave that filter out to dry and switch them again in the next cleaning.  To maintain proper filtration, the spa filters should be changed at least every year.
Spa Filters Canada is an online supplier of QCA spa filters for your tub. When you’re in the market to buy a good quality filter at low prices, regardless of your brand of hot tub, you really don’t have to look any further than SpaFilters Canada.
