Spas.

A stand alone spa or a spa built into your pool, sized to heat fast and hold its temperature through winter as well as summer

The spa range.

A spa holds far less water than a pool, so it heats quickly and costs little enough to run that winter use is realistic. It can stand on its own in a courtyard too small for a pool, or spill into a larger pool as a separate place to sit and warm up.

Why choose a spa?

Canberra's winters are as much a part of the climate as its summers, and a spa is the part of a backyard build that gets used all year round. Whether it stands alone or spills into a full pool, a spa heats faster and costs less to run than trying to keep an entire pool warm.

  • Heats far faster than a full sized pool, so it is ready when you are
  • Can be built as a stand alone feature or as a spillway into your pool
  • Fits into the smallest courtyards where a full pool simply will not go

Built to a standard, not a shortcut

Fast heat up time

Smaller water volume means a spa reaches temperature far quicker than heating an entire pool.

Spillway pool and spa combinations

Water cascades from spa to pool, giving you both features in one connected build.

Jet and lighting options

Hydrotherapy jets, recliner seats and lighting can all be built into your spa design.

Lower running cost

Heating a spa costs a fraction of heating a full pool, so it is realistic to run through winter.

Fits the smallest yards

A spa can be the right call for a courtyard or balcony sized outdoor space.

The same structural warranty

as every pool we install.

What is a swim spa?

A swim spa is a single vessel that combines the relaxation of a spa with a counter current jet system strong enough to swim against, so you get a workout and a soak in one footprint. It differs from a standard spa, which is designed purely for relaxation rather than exercise.

A stand alone spa is generally more affordable than a full pool build because of its smaller size, though cost still depends on dimensions, jets, heating and whether it is a stand alone feature or integrated with a pool. We give you a fixed price once we understand your brief.

Swim spas use a jet system to generate a continuous current of water, letting you swim in place rather than needing pool length to complete laps. Water temperature and jet strength are both adjustable to suit fitness or relaxation use.

Yes. Spas can be installed in ground, semi recessed or fully above ground, depending on your yard and budget. An in ground install gives the cleanest look and integrates most naturally with a connected pool.

A standard spa is built for relaxation and heat therapy, typically at a fixed temperature with seating and jets. A swim spa adds a counter current system so you can swim continuously against the flow, effectively combining a spa and a compact lap pool in one unit.
