Customer Reviews

Good for planning and design, but it's not a DIY guide

This could give you ideas or help you plan out a hot tub and/or sauna that you'll hire someone to build. There are better books for the do-it-yourselfer, but this one does have good pictures and a lot of different design ideas.

Great starter book.

If you're looking to buy something off the rack and take care of it, this is all you need.

A guide packed with charts, color photos, and more

Relax in a home spa - but choose one wisely: there are many models and possibilities on the market with a sometimes-bewildering array of features. Sanderfoot's Hot Tubs, Saunas & Steam Baths: A Guide To Planning And Designing Your Home Health Spa covers all these options, from colored waters which change hues according to mood desired to electric heater and cleaning problems, basic maintenance, to building an actual spa with wood and a steam generator. All the options are covered in a guide packed with charts, color photos, and more.
