If you like having choices, you'll love shopping for a spa. From
oval to octagonal, from cosy to cavernous, the options are vast.
The best way to start narrowing down your selection is to visit a
local spa dealer. There, you'll have the opportunity to see and try
out a variety of spa shapes and sizes. Be sure to take along your
bathing suit; many spa dealers are happy to let you experience a spa
right in the store. As you shop, notice the many different spa
configurations. Some feature lounges that you let you recline and
stretch out. Others offer more conventional upright seating. The seats
and lounges are ergonomically designed for maximum comfort and enjoyment.
Also, ask the dealer to demonstrate the wide variety of jets available.
Try out the special neck jets, "intelligent" jets that spin
and move back and forth, and "cluster jets" around the small
of your back.
It can be almost like having a private masseur
Spa Benefits
Sure, a spa can help you relax and unwind. But it also delivers therapeutic
benefits.
The swirling, bubbling waters are known to ease muscle aches,
which makes a spa the perfect place to relax after a workout. Many doctors
prescribe spas for patients with arthritis and similar conditions. For more

Space Requirement
Today, there are so many different sizes and shapes of spas, there's one to fit
virtually any home.From cosy spaces for two, to roomy spas for the whole family,
your choices are practically unlimited. To determine which size is right for
you, first consider the maximum number of users you'd like the spa to hold.This
will help you select the right size when you visit our showroom. Secondly, choose
a location for the spa. Most people find a deck or patio to be an ideal spot.
Keep in mind that most of today's spas are considered "portable"; they
only require access to electricity, not to plumbing. This gives you a lot of
options for selecting a position for your spa. Because there are so many sizes of
spas available, it's impossible to say exactly how much space you'll need.But you
can use these figures as a starting point: An average-size four-person spa
(including cabinetry) is approximately 8' by 8' — or 64 square feet.
A typical two-person spa (including cabinetry) is about 6' by 6' — or 36 square feet.
Seasonality
Sometimes, people who live in areas with cold winters are reluctant to consider a spa.
They feel their use of the spa will be limited to warm weather. Nothing could be further
from the truth. Spas can be used all year long, even in cold climates. The fact is, a spa's
bubbling waters get your skin so warm, you won't even feel the cold when you get out. You can
simply slip on a robe and walk back inside the house — relaxed, cosy and completely comfortable.
You might be surprised to learn that spas are very popular in ski resort areas. And small
wonder. There's nothing like a soothing soak in a spa to help counteract a day of exertion on the
slopes.
And few things are as relaxing and romantic as unwinding in a spa while you look out
at a peaceful, snowy setting.
