Planning for a pool may sound like a great idea now that spring and summer are on their way, but that might not be the only thing you should be drawing up with pool builders.
You should also consider designing a spa. With its hot water jets and smaller basin, a spa might sound counterintuitive to summer activities. Yet there are a few good reasons a spa would be a worthwhile add-on to your pool.
Warm days, cool nights
Spring and summer will give you enough warm days to content your Southern Californian heart; nowadays, even in Orange County, they’re also likely to come with more cool nights. A spa should come in handy once you want to take a late-hour dip.
Besides, after a day of laps, water polo with friends, or chasing kids around a pool, doesn’t a quiet night soaking in your private spa sound appealing?
Two projects in one job
Constructing a spa with your pool also figures to be cost-effective. After all, builders already have to excavate, install the plumbing, and source chemicals and materials as they work on your pool.
Of course it would cost extra, and maintaining a spa’s hot water system won’t come cheap long-term. However, it could still cost less than having to heat an entire pool.
In-ground vs. portable
But why should you have a spa built with your pool? Wouldn’t a portable hot tub be more practical?
True, portable tubs are easier and faster to install. However, they come in fixed shapes and sizes, limiting your room for customization and integrated design. In-ground spas can be built to your specifications – and, along with your pool, make your yard and garden more stunning than before.
