Buying a Spa can involve a great deal of research and consideration! Be sure to consider these tips before you start the purchasing process:
LOCATION | Before even shopping for a spa consider where you want to place your spa in the backyard. Is the spa going to be close to an electrical outlet? What surface is the ground? How is maximum size that will fit? Will you have enough room to walk around your spa after it is installed? |
JETS AND HYDROTHERAPY | Some spas have more jets then others on the market. Some have adjustable jets and some don’t. Ensure you understand the therapeutic purpose of the jets. Read our blog “The More Jets, The Better – True or False” for a better understanding. |
APPEARANCE | Spas have many different interior and exterior options. What will match your outdoor decor? Typically you can choose the shell colour, cabinet colour and hardcover colour. |
CAPACITY | Spas have different seating arrangements. Some spas seat 3 and some can sit up to 14 people |
EXTRAS | Consider your extras such as steps, gazebos and spa accessories |
TYPES OF SPAS | Permanent spas are called “in-ground” spas, where the spa shell and equipment require onsite installation. The Spa shell is inserted partially or entirely into the ground. Portable spas require a concrete slab and the spa shell and equipment is connect before being enclosed within a frame or cabinet. |
