Premier United Kingdom Hot Tub and Exercise Pool Resource Centre

The hot tub industry began in the 1960's in California. Hot tubs became popular because the industry, along with the movies, promoted two things: fun and romance.

The spa industry in the 1980's saw dramatic changes and soon realized that there were many other reasons to owning a hot tub. Personal relaxation and family bonding were the two biggest reasons for its growth. The quality of life spent together was an uplifting improvement from the traditional routine of watching TV.

The spa industry of the 1990's continues to grow by discovering the added benefits of health and wellness. Through advanced technology and improved products, today's hot tubs provide tremendous health benefits. The medical profession now credits hot tubs in helping patients with many ailments, including stress, sleep disorders, diabetes and arthritis, to name a few.
