Start with the most important question – who will be using the spa? Are you an active family with young children, a couple looking for some peace and quiet, or a single person wanting to work on their fitness? This will determine the type of spa that suits you best.
Hot tub
If you’re looking for peaceful relaxation, rejuvenation, pain relief or support for the treatment of health issues, a hot tub with ingeniously designed massage systems is the ideal choice.
All-year-round swim spa
Active users will appreciate the all-year-round swim spa with a counter-current system, which offers space for swimming training, your little ones’ first attempts at swimming, as well as quality family time or a drink for two amidst the swirling bubbles on the swim spa steps fitted with hydromassage jets.
A combination of a hot tub and a swim spa
Do you want to work on your fitness whilst relaxing? Treat yourself to both with this unique combination of a hot tub and a year-round swim spa, which complement each other perfectly.
USSPA Tip
USSPA offers a unique combination of a year-round swim spa and a CombiiN or LoungeiN hot tub. Both units complement each other perfectly, yet they also function independently, so you can enjoy pleasantly warm water for swimming in the swim spa whilst simultaneously enjoying a higher, optimal temperature for an effective hydrotherapeutic massage and muscle relaxation in the hot tub.
The location of a spa is just as important as the spa itself. The most common options are a garden, a terrace or a spacious balcony. However, a spa can also be installed indoors. Each solution has its advantages – outdoors, you can enjoy the fresh air and views of the countryside, greenery or your own garden, whilst indoors you benefit from the comfort of privacy and stable conditions. When planning where to place your hot tub, pay attention to practical details such as easy access, proximity to a shower or changing room, and sufficient storage space for towels and accessories.
USSPA Tip
If space and technical conditions allow, install your hot tub outdoors – the experience of bathing under a starry sky or, perhaps, amidst snowdrifts will enhance the overall sense of relaxation. Also consider the spa’s orientation in relation to the house and garden, as the right location will ensure privacy, a pleasant view and maximum use of its relaxation potential. Whilst a hot tub deserves a quieter, more intimate spot, we recommend placing a swim spa where the action is – near the terrace, or anywhere else where family life takes place.
Freestanding hot tub
Hot tubs are ideal for above-ground installation and, when combined with wooden steps, offer the easiest and most comfortable access. They also provide the quickest route to relaxation without the need for any building work. All you need is a solid base, the required load-bearing capacity, an electricity connection and access to water. The spa is available in various wooden cabinet designs and can be fitted with steps or other practical accessories. Installation is flexible and quick – ideal for those who want to start enjoying the benefits of hydrotherapy straight away.
Recessed or semi-recessed installation
This solution will be appreciated not only by architects, but by anyone who desires a clean design free from visual distractions and the harmonious integration of the spa into its surroundings. Whilst it does require some preparatory building work, the result is an aesthetically perfect and functionally well-thought-out solution. For comfortable access, it is important to choose a model designed for integration, ideally with built-in steps.
USSPA Tip
If you’re having your spa built into the ground, we’ll deliver it ready for installation exactly where you want it. From our range, we recommend models designed specifically for this type of installation – such as the LoungeiN or CombiiN, which are structurally adapted for in-ground installation and feature steps for easy access.
Outdoor installations
Experience the magic of bathing under the open sky. An outdoor spa offers a unique experience in every season, whether under a starry sky or amidst snowdrifts. Consider shelter, privacy and easy access – you’ll particularly appreciate having a spa close to home in winter. We also recommend an outdoor shower for maximum comfort before and after your soak.
Indoor installation
It offers complete privacy and comfort for everyday use. The hot tub becomes the centrepiece of your home – with a view of your favourite painting, the fireplace or the countryside outside the window. An indoor spa can be perfectly complemented by other wellness features, such as a sauna, a home gym or a relaxation area.
USSPA Tip
USSPA offers several models of hot tubs that fit through a standard 80 cm wide door and can therefore be installed in an existing interior.
The best way to choose a spa is through personal experience – just as you’d arrange a test drive before buying a car, we recommend trying out a spa in advance. This is the only way to find out whether the massage features, ergonomics and size suit you, and whether you feel comfortable during hydrotherapy. Don’t limit your options right from the start – your spa will last for decades, and the difference in running costs between a smaller and a larger model is minimal. Remember that the quality of a spa does not lie in the number of jets, but in the number of massage positions and their layout – the more a spa model offers, the more hydrotherapeutic options and the more comprehensive the massage effect for you. Simply alternate between the different massage positions whilst you’re in the spa.
As well as the number of seats and massage options, it is important to consider how the spa will fit into your home. A hot tub or all-season swim spa should not only be functional but also blend harmoniously with the surroundings in which you will be using it. The design, colour scheme of the shell, cabinet or thermal cover, and accessories influence not only the appearance but also the overall sense of relaxation. And it is precisely these details – from an easy-to-use thermal cover through to lighting and aromatherapy – that should therefore play a key role in deciding which supplier to choose.
USSPA Tip
USSPA allows you to choose the design, colour combinations, features and accessories exactly as you wish, as every spa is made to order. Visit one of the USSPA showrooms and experience your dream spa for yourself. A test centre awaits you in the privacy of an open-air garden, where you can relax in a hot tub or take a dip in a swim spa to find out what suits you best. All you need to bring is your swimwear; we’ll take care of everything else.
