Inground Spa

Inground spa options and questions

Some of the questions surrounding the selection of spas are answered below including the questions surrounding the inground spa.

What is the difference between an inground spa and a semi-inground spa?

The inground spa is normally selected for the elegance it provides. It is totally sunken into the ground whereas the semi-inground is half way into the surface. The portable spa is one that is placed on top of a surface and can be taken along when you move house.

Is there a difference between a jetted hot tub and a spa?

Normally the spa is used for socializing and relaxation. The jetted spa tub is suitable for bathing and hydrotherapy.

Where can I place an inground spa?

You can have it sunken into the ground, place it in a deck or cement. You should note that some electrical work will be done for this type of spa. It is more costly than the self contained or portable spa, but adds a lot of value to a property.

Considerations to keep in mind when shopping for spas include that of:

• Features you would like in a spa.
• Do you want the water to remain warm when the unit is not in use?
• Will you require a unit that is self cleaning and includes water filtration?
• Do you want silent filler – thus no noise?
• Find out about the electrical specifications for the unit.
• Enquire about the various heating options available for the unit.
• Decide on the type of massaging effects that you want.
• Decide on the seating requirements.
• Enquire about customization options for massages.
• Inspect the controls for user-friendliness.
• Is there a manufacturing warranty and for what period?
