Family Spa

Why a hot spa is perfect for the family

Device-free, conflict-free, negativity-free. The tranquillity and relaxation of a Hot Spring hot spa means that you can enjoy family time of the highest quality, free from devices and other distractions. A spa pool brings your family together, getting everyone sharing, laughing and connecting in a way that happens less often in our disruption-rich and time-poor world.

This unencumbered family bonding benefits everyone: family members will enjoy a greater sense of stability, increased self-esteem and the ability to model a healthy lifestyle. Instead of you being connecting to the internet, your spa pool will have you connecting with each other.

How much do family spas cost?

Bringing a wealth of health and financial benefits, a Hot Spring spa pool is an investment, both in your family and in your home. A high-quality hot tub that is seamlessly integrated into the look and landscape of your property can add real value to it, while also saving you money by enhancing your family’s physical and mental health.

The level of investment that you’ll make will depend on the size of the spa pool you choose, and the features that you and your family would like to enjoy. The Hot Spring range starts at as little as a few thousand dollars and has the added benefit of offering market-leading efficiency, seriously reducing ongoing costs.

Can children go in hot tubs?

Hot Spring spa pools have been designed with safety as the highest priority and are fine to use for anyone tall enough to stand on the bottom while their head is completely out of the water. This means that most models are safe for children as young as five years old.

For children who can’t stand on the bottom with their head out of the water, supervision is advised. It is up to the spa pool owner to be mindful of the risks. At Hot Spring we also advise that young children should avoid spending periods of longer than five minutes in a heated tub, particularly those set to the maximum temperature.

Do hot tubs relieve stress?

At Hot Spring we design spa pools that offer tangible mental health benefits. The ambience of a hot tub has been proven to help your mental state by easing stress and promoting relaxation. We further enhance the de-stressing qualities of spa pools through our market-leading hydrotherapy features, and the ability to pump relaxing sound out of in-spa Bluetooth speakers.

Combine this with the relaxation that comes from quality family time, and a Hot Spring spa pool can have an incredibly positive effect on your mental state. Your family can convene after a hard day of work and study, and soak all their stresses away!

How many years does an outdoor hot spa last?

The longevity of your spa pool will be determined by its quality, the conditions to which it is subjected and your care and maintenance efforts. While a cheaper spa might be tempting, you may need to replace it multiple times to match the extended life of a higher quality model. By buying a Hot Spring spa pool, you can be confident that you’ve invested in a spa that will last.

As a ballpark figure, a hot tub can be expected to last anywhere from five years to 20 or more. A high-quality, sheltered and well-maintained tub will last decades, while a cheap, exposed and neglected tub might struggle to even reach the five year mark.

Best family spa placement

Our portable and self contained hot tubs are designed to give you flexibility in terms of where you place your machine. Family outdoor hot tubs can be positioned on pavers and concrete, on decks and in driveways, almost anywhere with a stable, level surface and access to water, power and drainage. You can also choose to install a family indoor hot tub, like in a well-ventilated sun room, or a family inground hot tub, which can serve to lower the lip of the spa and make entry and exit a little easier for the kids.

Our experts have installed inground, above-ground, indoor and outdoor family hot tubs, so if you have an ideal configuration in mind, and you have the necessary utilities and space, you can be confident that we'll find a way to make it happen.
