Spa And Hot Tub Buyers Guide
 
For many consumers buying a spa is a life changing event. It is an event often accompanied by stress, when the intention is to alleviate it. There are so many producers of spas, so many sizes and models, prices and quality levels. Making it more complicated is that many spas look and feel virtually identical, even though they are not. Adding further to the confusion some manufacturers use different names to describe similar features in an attempt to make their products appear distinctive. When confronted with so many choices, consumers often become overwhelmed. This guide will help you make a more informed decision about purchasing a spa by providing you with some basic facts. After reading this guide you will be well on your way to selecting the spa in Mumbai that is right for you, both practically and aesthetically.
In addition to greater energy efficiency full foam insulation locks the spa plumbing in place to support the joints when stressed as the jet pumps are turned on and off over time. Some manufacturers eliminate full foam insulation in an attempt to provide product at a lower cost.
 

How expensive is it to operate a spa?
The main cost of operating a spa is heating the water. If you have a full foam insulated spa with an insulated locking cover, the average daily cost is less than the price of a small bottle of water. In addition to the energy cost consumers should look carefully at the total cost of ownership. An advanced filtration system in conjunction with ozone will significantly reduce chemical expenses. Bearing-less jets will not wear and need replacing. Also look for time saving features to reduce time spent on maintenance, thus increasing the enjoyment of your spa.
What do I need to know about horsepower?
Efficient plumbing, better jets, and flow control are more important than horsepower. A lower horsepower pump in an efficient spa will produce just as much jet power as a higher horsepower pump in an inefficient spa deals. Many manufacturers use oversized, high horsepower pumps to compensate for poor design. Other companies employ a more cost and energy efficient system to achieve the same ends.

How is the water temperature controlled?
Most quality spas have sophisticated digital thermostatic controls. These highly reliable modern systems are capable of keeping the spa water within 1 degree of any temperature you select. While this is important for comfort, it is also important for safety. You should pay particular attention to the control system if you have children who will be using the spa. Better control systems have safety locks and digital readouts combined with automatic cut off should there be any obstruction to water flow. A good indicator of the control system’s quality is to read and compare manufacturers warranties.
Is the spa installed indoors or outdoors?
A spa can be installed indoors or outdoors, although over 90% are installed outdoors. The two main considerations for installing a spa indoors are: will it fit through the door, and is the structural strength of the flooring adequate? Most importantly an indoor spa must have adequate and substantial ventilation. A typical 3-person spa weighs approximately 1,150 Kg when filled. The recommended foundations are: concrete pad of 75 mm or thicker; or wood decking with a concrete foundation.
What should I consider for the control panel?
Not every spa control panel has the same ease of command, so test a control panel to verify it gives you the type of precision control you desire to fully enjoy your spa experience.

Will I have to install plumbing for my new spa?
No. All above-ground portable spas are filled with water using a garden hose. Check the spa can be conveniently and easily emptied.
Do I choose a synthetic or wood cabinet?

Synthetic wood cabinets are durable and UV-resistant, providing your spa with exquisite beauty for years to come.
What about the warranty?
This is one of the most crucial areas in the spa  industry. Here are a few simple rules to keep in mind: A product warranty is a performance and reliability agreement between you and the manufacturer. Avoid spa manufacturers who add prorated and deductible provisions. Make sure you read the manufacturers warranty before buying, and compare coverage with other spas you are considering. Most quality spas will have at least 2-5 year warranties on parts, plumbing and labour without any service call charges.
What do I need to consider before purchasing a spa?
Consider “wet testing” a spa before purchasing. This means getting into a spa with water in it. All reputable best spa dealers maintain filled demonstration models just for this purpose. Look for and verify that the seats provide lumbar support. When sitting in any seat, the water should reach at least shoulder level. If it does not, you will not get full hydro therapeutic value. Lean your head back against the pillows. Make sure you do not have to hyper extend your neck to rest your head. If the spa has a lounge seat, make sure it is deep enough to keep you in the seat. Take notice of the alignment of jets with your muscles. Make sure they are massaging muscle tissue and not your spine. How convenient are the controls to use when you are seated in the spa? Stay in the spa with the jets on for at least 15 minutes. At the end of that time you will know whether the seating and jet arrangements are truly comfortable.
How much should I spend on a spa?
