Bien choisir son spa

Choosing the right spa

We'll take you step-by-step through the process of choosing the spa that best suits your needs and preferences. Whether you're looking for ultimate relaxation or therapeutic benefits, it's essential to take a number of factors into account when making your selection.

Define your needs and objectives to choose the right spa

Before you begin your search, it's important to clarify your objectives and needs. Here are a few things to consider :

  • Therapeutic or relaxation use : determine whether you wish to use the spa primarily for therapeutic reasons or for relaxation.
  • Number and type of jets : if you're looking for therapeutic benefits, choose a spa with a number and type of jets suited to your massage needs.

What factors should I take into account when choosing a spa?

Spa location for optimum installation

Spa location plays a crucial role in your overall spa experience. Consider the following points :

  • Outdoor installation: make sure you have a flat, weather-protected surface close to a water supply and electrical outlet.
  • Indoor installation: make sure you have enough space to accommodate the spa. Take into account dimensional constraints related to doors and access.

Spa dimensions and capacity adapted to your needs

Choose a spa whose size and capacity meet your specific needs :

  • Number of people: determine how many people will use the spa simultaneously to choose an appropriate size. Popular spas can accommodate 4 to 6 people, but some models can accommodate up to 10.
  • Planned activities : if you plan to use the spa for specific activities such as swimming, be sure to take this into account when selecting the size and type of spa (inflatable, in-wall, swim spa or classic spa).

Insulation for energy efficiency

Insulation plays a crucial role in your spa's energy costs. Here's what you need to know :

  • Polyurethane foam insulation: Opt for a spa with polyurethane foam insulation on the shell, as it offers excellent energy efficiency.
  • Reduced electricity consumption: Good insulation helps maintain water temperature for longer, reducing heating costs.

Choosing your spa components

When considering the purchase of a spa, there are several elements to take into account to guarantee an optimal relaxation experience. These include the selection of the tub, pumps and massage nozzles for your future whirlpool bath :

  • The tub: It's essential to choose a tub that's pleasant to the touch, non-slip and UV-resistant (if your SPA is outdoors). New soft materials are now on offer, far more comfortable and robust than the traditional acrylic liners used until now.
  • Pumps : They are the heart of this incredible hydromassage machine. The more energy-efficient they are, the more power you'll get from them, while keeping consumption to a minimum. Choose an extremely robust design for long life.
  • Massage nozzles : Nozzles (or jets) must be adjustable and interchangeable to allow variation of jet power, shape and volume in an infinite number of configurations. A high flow rate guarantees a powerful, effective massage.

Budget and price: finding the right balance

Defining a realistic budget is essential when selecting a spa. Here are a few tips to help you strike the right balance :

  • Factors influencing price: Spa size, features, warranty and quality of design and materials are all factors that determine price.
  • Value for money: Look for spas offering good build quality and functionality at an affordable price.

Comfort and ergonomics for a pleasant experience

Make sure your spa offers optimum comfort for a pleasant relaxation experience :

  • Ergonomic design: Choose a spa that adapts to the human anatomy and offers good support for back, neck and legs.
  • Hydro-massage and complementary therapies: Consider hydro-massage, acupuncture and reflexology features to maximize the benefits of your spa.

What are the running costs of a spa: how can you optimize your expenses?

A spa doesn't cost much to run, but the costs depend on where you live and the cost of kilowatt/hour in your municipality.

On average, your spa will cost you between 30 and 40 euros a month. Certain factors, such as frequency of use, environment and climate, can vary this amount.

Our tips for reducing running costs

  • Proper insulation of your hot tub is essential to reduce energy consumption.
  • Invest in a protective insulating cover for your spa. This preserves the water's heat and reduces heat loss. The water will also be spared external elements (debris, contaminants).
  • Schedule your spa's heating and filtration cycles during off-peak hours.
  • Opt for regular maintenance of your spa's water, as this will keep it running smoothly and reduce long-term costs.
