Probably the biggest single push in modern household hygiene efforts has been directed at the kitchen as this is where the bulk of germs and bacteria can be found within the modern home. This has been a major problem because the handling of food is where germs are found and transmitted. Door handles have become a major focus of transmission as germs are moved by hand from one place to another but they are not the only source, there are many surface and working areas where the food is prepared that are extremely vulnerable. The result is a rapid and continual cleaning discipline that removes many of the problems. One of the other areas, which are being examined, is in the manufacture of kitchen equipment that is resistant or helpful in removing germs and bacteria.

The kitchen sink is one area where that problem is quite significant. It is the one area where all the germs and bacteria are sure to pass through, food is washed in the sink and all the cooking utensils are washed in the sink as well as all the serving dishes and plates. The result is a complete medley of bacteria, which require to be cleaned as soon as possible. The good manufacturers have tackled this by building their sinks of materials, which can be easily cleaned and the cleaning products have been developed to deal with this problem. The problem comes when the cleaning is not quite good enough or fast enough, there is always a gap between washing and overall cleaning.

One company has decided to do something about this by developing a sanitized system within the material that the sink is made from. Any bacteria which has been left unattended is estimated to multiply every 20 minutes but a Fragonite sink which has had a sanitising product included will reduce the bacteria growth by a claimed 99%. This does not stop the need for cleaning but it does put a substantial break onto the multiplication of germs at probably the most significant hub of the kitchen germ and bacteria production. The system works by using silver ions to deactivate the bacteria and because the system is built into the sink surface it works for 24 hours a day, the result is that instead of the bacteria building up in peaks as the bugs multiply with time until the next cleaning cycle the level remains at a low steady level. This greatly reduces the availability of bacteria to spread and hygiene is vastly improved.

The start of a fire triggers a whole set of decisions which can determine the future for both company and employees. A serious fire can destroy the company in minutes as the insurance is never enough to take the full damage. The costs relating to loss of business and the confidence of the market place is often too great to bear. The damage to lives if people are caught up in the fire is immense. Fire prevention has become a major science and the work carried out has improved the problems by a considerable margin. It is claimed that the fire brigades have far more work with road crashes and that the call out for fire related incidents has dropped enormously over the years. The major problem is that in any room, house, factory or hotel there are still a number of items that can assist a file.

The hotel trade is a serious contender as the hotel has little or no control on what the customer brings into the hotel. The rooms are full of clothes and bedding as well as newspapers, non-conforming electrical equipment can be brought in and used with the management having no idea of its usage. The result is that this is an area where fires can and do start on a regular basis. Whilst these are restricted by tough fire procedures there is a strong case for ensuring that the fire is restricted as much as possible. If the fire can be limited in the way that it spreads there is a considerable advantage to both safety and damage. One of the major problems with fire is being able to get a great many people quickly and safely from the building, when the problem occurs in the middle of the night and some of those people are very young and some who are very old the size of the problem magnifies.

Fire can be controlled by keeping it as long as possible in the room concerned. The use of Fischer intumescent pillows, collars and pads do help considerably and can provide an extra 2 hours before a fire breaks through to another room. Each room has a self-closing door and if all the gaps in the wall below the floor and above the ceiling are totally sealed the chances of the fire spreading is much reduced. Intumescent pads can be moulded around the plugs and light switches to stop fires spreading along the electrical cables, intumescent collars can be placed on the pipework to stop fires going through the gaps and fire pillows can be placed in larger gaps. An intumescent filler can be used on brickwork gaps. It sounds a lot but so many hotel fires run along the ceilings and this is often avoidable.

Well you may have decided that you want to go out and buy a nice new hot tub, and to an extent even the very large ten-seater models are portable.

However most of them will need some form of mechanical aid, be it a pallet truck, forklift truck or even a crane for a large hot spa, to move them around.

Indeed if you put a tub in somewhere then you a can move it out again. But the cost of using a crane to put a hot tub in place can be over a thousand pounds, and so if you want to move it out again if you move house, then expect to pay around the same again.

In addition you may find that logistically you cannot even use a crane to put a hot tub in to place, due to logistics such as power cables or trees being in the way.

Or you may rent a house and move around often, and thus such a cost of moving a hot tub on a regular basis would be prohibitive.

Well fortunately for you, there is an alternative to the traditional Acrylic or cedar wood tubs, and that is portable hot tubs.

These tubs offer the majority of things a normal one offers (But not all, such as underwater lighting), but come with the benefit that they are portable, and can be assembled anywhere, even indoors.

They come in two common forms – inflatable tubs, and panel kit ones.

With the inflatable tubs, you simply unpack them, pump them up until the sidewall is rigid, attach the water heater/pump, and the air pump for the jets, and then fill it with water.

The panel kits come in a box. Simply unpack the panels and the upright supports, and then slide the panels in to the interlocking uprights. You then place a liner inside the assembled tub, attach the water heater/pump, and the air pump, and fill up with water.

These panel kits are known as spa in a box kits, and can look very much like a normal tub once installed. Having rigid sides they are more durable than an inflatable tub. Accordingly if you want to use one all year round but cannot afford a “Normal” acrylic tub, which may cost several thousand, then this type of portable hot tub is probably the one that you should go for. It may cost slightly more than an inflatable one, however it will be more durable and look better in your garden, or on your patio.

In either case once filled with water, they heat up fairly fast, and if you build one in the morning, you could be using it by the evening.

Either of these types of portable hot tubs can be located just about anywhere you want outside or inside.
They also have one other major advantage and that is the cost! They are far cheaper to buy varying from around £800 to around £1,500 for a spa in a box hot tub. So consider a portable hot tub today.
