Rob’s Story

Hello Keith,

I just thought I would drop you a quick note to tell you a little ‘winter’ story about my hot tub. As I awoke one morning last winter to get ready for work I went to start out my normal routine, arise about 6am and put on my beachcomber robe, hit the bathroom and get the sleep out of my eyes then head out to my hot tub (currently a 2008 750E) for a soak. As I passed through the kitchen I heard on the radio that we keep on in there the following: “And now for the weather…expected high to day of -31 and with the wind chill it feels like -47. Current conditions in the Saskatoon area are at a bonechilling minus 36 with wind chill dipping to a balmy -52, the following buses are not running today (list of about 15) and the following schools are closed (list of about 10) Then I went and turned on the TV in our bedroom and watched some of the morning news where a reporter did an experiment with a cup of water, she brought the cup out of her vehicle filled it with water then threw it up into the air….. it began to freeze before it even hit the ground!! I must say I contemplated my usual routine at that point!

Now with not only my Beachcomber robe on but also a toque, I ventured out to see if I had a huge block of ice for a hot tub. After my sprint out the door, down the two flights of steps and across my deck I was ecstatic to find that when I peeled back the ice sealed cover my display read 104 just like it had the day before!

It didn’t take me long to jump in and find the deepest corner seat and get neck deep in the hot soothing water which at -52 felt like I was boiling!! After my half hour soak I braved the wind and cold one more time to stand up and put on my robe, I felt a bit warmer at that point but not too much, my tub on the other hand had only dropped 2 degrees despite the -52 degree deep freeze environment it was housed in!!

For all those doubters of full foam insulation being important, please share this story with them!!

Hybrid is the best!!

Sincerely,

Rob Keep
