Relax, unwind and soothe your tired muscles in a warm, bubbly hot tub. Sit back and breathe deeply in the privacy of your home sauna or stream bath. The spa of your dreams is more attainable than ever with a broad variety of pre-fab and easy-installation home units. But how can you choose equipment that will work best for you?

Home spa specialist Alan E. Sanderfoot demystyifies the vast array of choices in hot tubs, saunas, and steam baths. He explains the basic features of various models and discusses the sometimes bewildering array of add-ons, from built-in sound systems and computer screens to pulsing lights and concealed waterfalls.

Once you have chosen the model or models that are right for you, Sanderfoot explains the installation, environmental, and safety requirements that will make your hot tub, sauna, or steam bath a successful investment for many years to come.
