Swimming pool or whirlpool

Deciding whether to choose SPA Deluxe Vortex spas or a swimming pool is often not easy, as both have a wide range of models to suit every imagination, need and desire.

The swimming pool can be made in any size. It is ideal for sports lovers and those who attach great importance to swimming regularly in private surroundings. It is also an ideal way for children to learn how to swim in peace and quiet, without distraction from strangers, or to spend time and energy by swimming.

However, the disadvantages of a swimming pool are also very clear. Although the pool is long lasting, it can only be used in the summer months. Apart from the dependence on the weather, it must be remembered that the summer season is no guarantee of long lasting, good weather. There is also no trial option, as it can be tested for the first time as soon as it has been created after digging the garden. The cost factor is also comparatively greater.

SPA Deluxe's Vortex spas offer extensive wellness. The massage is the centre of attention and is made possible by the numerous jets integrated into the tub, which massage the body with variously large and intensive water jets, as well as air jets. The wellness programme is individually tailored and requires little time, which allows it to be integrated into the day. It is an option for the whole family to relax, have fun and enjoy themselves at the same time.

Requirements and equipment

In order to be able to install a whirlpool, a flat surface must be available, which is minimally sealed and shaken off. The ideal location is the garden or terrace, whereby it is irrelevant whether the ground consists of a gravel surface, stone tiles or a concrete slab. Four square metres of space are required. If there is a desire to create the look of a swimming pool, the whirlpool can be embedded in the ground. The outer cladding is therefore not visible or only minimally visible. Because water is only filled in once, which then remains in the tub for several months, no water connection is necessary in the vicinity. The cover, hygiene technology and water care products make cleaning and maintenance very easy.

The equipment varies according to the model, with a waterfall usually included in the basic equipment. Depending on the model that is chosen, the equipment details are either simple or sophisticated. Underwater spotlights cause the bubbling water to shine in warm and optionally coloured light. This creates an impressive atmosphere in the evening, which will remain an unforgettable experience for guests at a garden party, for example. There are additional equipment elements, such as an integrated stereo system or control via an app.

There are plenty of options

Inflatable pools are a popular option due to their price, but they are very shallow and therefore best suited as a play area for children. The water in an inflatable pool needs to be changed frequently. Otherwise, slippery, greenish sediment will begin to form on the bottom after just a few days.

Expansion pools are a better option if the relaxation area is also to be used by adults. They're constructed with an inflatable collar, the pool itself tapers towards the top and the bottom is spread by the water. The pool is easy to install.

Rack type pools are large and quite deep, therefore they are accessed using a special ladder. A rack pool is much easier to cover than its expanding counterpart. In addition, there's no risk of the inflatable collar being punctured.

Garden hot tubs are also an increasingly popular option. These are inflatable pools that are equipped with a pump to heat the water and a whirlpool system.

Conclusion

While the swimming pool can only be used during the summer season when the weather is good, SPA Deluxe's Vortex whirlpools are independent of the season and the weather and can therefore be enjoyed all year round, with the water temperature being adjustable up to forty degrees. Among the wide range of different models there are beginner-friendly ones with easy operation or high-tech, spacious or compact ones with traditional or purist design. In order to clarify any doubts or uncertainties or to reinforce the decision, a test sitting is possible.
