In the Tri-Cities, TN, we lead busy lives. Whether you’re commuting between Johnson City and Kingsport, heading out for a weekend at South Holston Lake, or managing a high-turnover vacation rental in the Appalachian mountains, the last thing you want to worry about is your hot tub.
At Isaacs Pools & Spas, we are seeing a massive shift in how our customers manage their backyard retreats. The reason? The Jacuzzi® SmartTub™ system. It’s no longer just a luxury; for many, it’s a necessary tool for peace of mind.
Remote Control for the Modern Owner
Gone are the days of walking out to the patio in the cold just to check the temperature or adjust the jets. With the SmartTub™ app, your hot tub is as connected as your thermostat or security system.
- Adjust Temperature on the Fly: Heading home from a long shift at the medical center? Open the app and bump the temperature up to 102°F so it’s ready the moment you walk through the door.
- Set the Mood: You can adjust lighting and activate jets remotely, ensuring your “staycation” begins the second you arrive home.
- The Cellular Advantage: Unlike many smart devices that rely on spotty backyard Wi-Fi, SmartTub™ uses a cellular connection. This makes it more stable and easier to set up, even if your router is on the other side of the house.
A Game-Changer for Vacation Rental Owners
If you own an Airbnb or VRBO in the Tri-Cities area, you know that a hot tub is a top-requested amenity—but it can also be a maintenance headache. SmartTub™ changes the math for rental owners:
- Monitor Usage: See when guests are using the tub and ensure they aren’t cranking the heat to unsafe levels.
- Lock the Controls: Prevent “button mashing” or accidental setting changes by locking the control panel from your phone.
- Real-Time Alerts: If there is a power outage or a temperature drop, the app sends an alert to your phone and can even notify us at Isaac’s Pools & Spas so we can address the issue before your next guest arrives.
Energy Efficiency & Maintenance Tracking
Living in East Tennessee means being mindful of utility costs. SmartTub™ provides an Energy Usage Estimator that shows you exactly how much power your tub is consuming. You can adjust your settings to take advantage of off-peak hours or lower the temp while you’re away on vacation to save on your monthly bill.
Furthermore, the app tracks your maintenance schedule. It will remind you when it’s time to:
- Clean or replace your filters.
- Change your ClearRay® UV bulb.
- Schedule your annual professional service.
