What Spa Options Do I Have for My Pool?
Spa (Hot Tub) Options
Enhance relaxation and hydrotherapy with a spa.
While various hot tub brands and models exist, the primary structural types are
Plug-in Spas (Portable Spas)
Self-contained units with all equipment integrated into the spa shell. They are typically placed on a level surface and plugged into an electrical outlet.
In-Ground Spas: Permanent
structures, usually constructed of concrete, with the filtration, pump, and heating equipment located remotely, similar to a pool system.
Apricity Pools offers in-ground spas that can be attached to the pool, detached, raised above the pool level, or integrated at the same level. Most customers opt for a heater to control the spa’s water temperature. We can implement a plug-in spa if this is what is desired.
Spas can be designed for sitting, standing, or even swimming (a swim spa), which uses powerful jets to create a current for stationary swimming.
Do I need a heater for my spa?
Technically, no. However, most people desire spa water temperatures around 100°F. While Arizona’s summer sun might warm a shallow body of water, it’s unlikely to consistently reach and maintain this temperature, especially as the sun sets or during cooler months.
Therefore, a heater is highly recommended for achieving and maintaining your desired spa temperature when in use.
Note: The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends that spa temperatures not exceed 104°F for health and safety reasons.
