Compact Spa

Compact spas

Designed to be enjoyed by between one and three people at a time, compact spas are ideal for anyone short on space. The range of triangular, rectangular and square designs is able to be squeezed into a variety of tight spaces. Compact spas are also perfect for customers looking to enjoy a more intimate or solitary spa pool experience, for renters and for anyone working within a tighter budget.

Despite their size, Hot Spring’s compact spas are still jam packed with features. In fact you’ll often get all the functionality of a top end spa, but at a fraction of the price! This cost-effectiveness extends to running costs, with compact spas drawing less power (unlike larger units, a standard 10 amp/240V outlet will do) and requiring less maintenance.

All you need to do is fill, plug in and play!

What to consider when buying a compact spa

When you’re short on space: With footprints starting at just 2.2 square metres, and water capacities starting at 450litres, compact spas can be installed where others can’t – courtyards, small patios, rooftops and balconies.

When you’re sharing with one or two others: Perhaps you want to relieve aches and pains. Perhaps you’re looking for intimate nights with your partner. There are many reasons why a compact spa could be more than enough.

When you are renting: No custom-built foundation, no fancy wiring, no excessive water or drainage needs; these ‘plug in and play’ machines require minimal manpower to install (and uninstall). Compact spas are perfect for renters.

When you are looking for a cost-effective option: Compact spas offer all the relaxation, hydrotherapy, fun and functionality of a larger spa, but at a lower price! 

How much do compact spas cost?

In choosing a Hot Spring compact spa you not only secure a feature-packed unit at a lower price, but you also enjoy lower ongoing costs in terms of both electricity and maintenance.

The full foam insulation we use across all Hot Spring spas means that our compact spas can run on a standard 10 amp/240V power outlet. Maintenance is quick and easy and you’ll use less product in caring for your water.

Compact spa pricing starts at around $6000, and can go up to $15,000 depending on the spa model and features chosen. Click here for a quote or contact your local dealer to arrange a test swim!

Best compact spa placement

When you choose a compact Hot Spring spa you maximise your placement options. A 2 person outdoor hot tub, for example, can be placed in tight spaces like a courtyard, the unused corner of a deck, or even on an apartment balcony. A 2, 3 or 4 person indoor hot tub can be set up in an enclosed (but well ventilated) space like a sunroom. With a little bit of backyard excavation and landscaping, all compact models can also be turned into inground hot tubs.

Wherever you choose to place your spa, you'll just need to ensure that it can be easily filled and drained, and that it has access to the power it needs to run. Many of our compact machines are Plug-N-Play, and can be powered by a standard outlet.
