While a swimming pool can be lots of fun and a great way to keep the family together and to exercise in, it never is able to produce the relaxing luxury of a heated spa. The temperature is set just about body temperature so that you have a warm feeling & the moving water massages you in a way that only water can. The water gives you buoyancy that takes the tension off most parts of the body.

A spa pool should always be operating with supply of fresh filtered water when in use and for some period after to remove the body fats and other solids which are introduced because of the high water temperature and activity in the spa.

The most important thing to remember while considering a spa is that it is NOT just a small swimming pool. The bather loads are about 20 times more than a typical pool and the increased temperature, in the range of 34°C to 38°C, coupled with the air jets make it an altogether different cup of tea.
