How to choose your hot tub

A hard day at work, an intense workout session or one of those days when back pain is worse after a long car trip. How many times do we get home wanting a massage? With a Spa, this is possible, every day of your life.

When we decide to buy a Spa , we must take into account several points. A good purchasing process will ensure that we find the product that best meets our needs.

So if you are thinking about buying a hot tub here are some points that will help you choose the hot tub you need.

Who is going to enjoy the Spa?

The first question you should ask yourself before buying a spa is: Who is going to use it? There are many different configuration options for positions and capacities in spas. From a two-seater spa to a six-seater spa. You should ask yourself if you are going to use the spa alone or with your partner, your children or your friends. Keep in mind that the larger the spa and the more different positions it has, the more variety of hydromassage you will find. Choose the spa's loungers and seats wisely: a lounger will give you a full body massage, a seat will allow you to receive intense massages in the lumbar area.

If you are looking for a family spa, the best option is an Amazon Swimspa ; an option in which you will not only have a spa, but also a mini-pool so you can play sports or swim all year round.

The location of the Spa?

Whether you want to install your Spa in an indoor area of the house, or if you want to install it in the garden or on the terrace, you must take into account several points during the Spa purchasing process:

1. Have enough space to place the Spa. It is advisable to leave access on at least two sides of the Spa to facilitate installation and maintenance of the Spa. 2. A level floor is essential to correctly install the Spa. 3. Prepare a drain for the Spa as well as a water inlet to fill it. 4. The electrical pre-installation of the Spa. Do not forget to prepare the electrical installation according to the specifications of the model you want. Each one has certain requirements that must be reviewed by a professional.

Can I customize my Spa?

Spas have many customization options for both the pool and the furniture. On the one hand, there is the possibility of choosing the color of the pool: white, marble grey, pearl, etc. There are several color options. Not only can you configure the color of the pool, you can also choose the color of the furniture that surrounds the Spa. There are plain colors such as Graphite and colors that simulate the texture of natural wood, such as Walnut and Thunder . For the most exclusive models, such as the Spa Cube , we can always choose a high-quality finish with white Solid Surface material. The color options can be combined with the different lighting features of the Spa: the interior and exterior of the Spa can be illuminated through its colored LEDs , creating an unrivaled atmosphere.

How to maintain the Spa?

The maintenance of a Spa is very similar to that required for a swimming pool, but with some important differences:

1. Water disinfection: a Spa is a sealed vessel of hot water. For this reason, we must ensure that we carry out a fair and necessary treatment to be able to keep the water clean and disinfected. To achieve this we can use the Aquavia Water Care cleaning kit that has two elements: a liquid that balances the pH level of the water, plus some Bromine tablets to be able to disinfect the water from bacteria. Each of the Spas has an automatic water disinfection system. In some models it is an ozone generator and in other high-end models, an Ultraviolet lamp.

2. Spa cleaning: Spa cleaning is simple, but it must be done periodically. The Spa filter must be cleaned every 15 days with a simple hose; to clean the bottom of the Spa easily, you can use the Bottom Cleaner accessory. If you want to clean your Spa thoroughly, you can change the water in the Spa (it is recommended to renew the water in the Spa every 6 months) and take the opportunity to clean the shell with neutral soap, never with any type of detergent.

How much will it cost me?

You will find many options for power and number of jets. Always look at the massage proposal for each position; remember where you want to receive your massages and choose the configuration that best suits your needs.

Maintaining a spa at an average temperature of 24 degrees usually costs €30 per month in energy consumption. This consumption may vary depending on the number of times you use the spa, but it will never become a high energy cost.

If you live in a less warm area, it is very important to choose the ECOSpa option, which will allow you to save on the Spa's consumption thanks to its double thermal insulation.

Once you have taken into account the above points, choosing a Spa will be an easy task. You only have to visit one of the Aquavia Spa Points of Sale where you will find a professional who will advise you, guide you and show you the product in one of their product displays.
