How do I find the right Spa Pool for me?

A spa pool represents your private slice of paradise, with the main purpose of helping you relax and feel your best. With hundreds of different brands and models on the market, it’s essential users make some key considerations before making a selection. In this article, we will walk you through everything you need to know when looking for your realm of relaxation.

Who is the Spa for?

Maybe it’s some much-needed family time, a precious moment with your partner, or some hard-earned solitude you’re searching for. Whatever the case may be, understanding who will be using your spa is a great place to start. This will help you decide how many seats you need, and what kind of configuration will best meet your requirements. Knowing how many people plan to use the spa will significantly filter down the number of spa pools for you to consider.

What is the Spa’s Primary Purpose

Besides providing a snug place to soak, spa pools offer a range of health and social benefits, so it’s crucial to decide which are most important to you. You might be looking for an epic new social setting to become the ultimate party host, or you may be searching for a renewed state of tranquillity through the power of hydrotherapy. This decision will allow you to start considering what you may need in the technical aspects. Often it’s an abundance of space or an abundance of hydrotherapy jets. If hydrotherapy is essential, you will want to begin looking into various seating options available in spa models designed for hydrotherapy. Deep corner seats, recliners, loungers, and cool-off seats all offer individual benefits. Every spa pool is also equipped with diverters that change jet pressure and direction, creating a tailor-made feel for groups of all sizes. Swim Spa’s are a relatively new and unique product to hit the New Zealand market – offering much larger open spaces, users can complete full workouts while enjoying all the benefits of being immersed in water.

Where will the Spa live?

One element of purchasing a spa pool that can often be overlooked is deciding exactly where your spa is going to live. There are some considerations that need to be made:

✓ Is the area easily accessible for delivery people to carry or slide a spa into it?
✓ Do you have power running out to the area?
✓ Is the area free of grass, and solid enough to withstand the full weight of your spa pool when filled?

Having an understanding of these points will aid salespeople in matching you with the perfect spa pool. The amount of jets and level of hydrotherapy you’ve chosen will directly impact what level of amperage is required – this can occasionally result in people needing to hardwire new cable from the power mains in order to accommodate those jet requirements. This will generally have a cost associated that we would hate customers to get caught out by. Most spas are designed to withstand the elements of nature, but installing your spa on solid, flat ground will ensure it won’t move or waiver under the weight of your filled spa.
