What  do you need to know before you buy a jacuzzi?

Buying a jacuzzi is very rewarding investement but it is also a very important decsion to make. spagarage offers some of main tips that you have to take into consideration before  you purchase a spa.

What is the brand of the spa?

Many importers of chinese spa invent a brand name. Therefore, do not hesistate to ask for the website of the fabricant and check it out.

It is very important to know where your future spa is made: in which factory is it made? is it certified? is it Européen, chinese or Americain?

There are many jacuzzi sellers out there who would sell you a chinese spa and when you ask about the brand; they would tell you that it is jacuzzi balboa.

First of all, there exists no jacuzzi brand that is called balboa anywhere in the world. Balboa is just a brand name of an Americain  control system used in spa's even in the chinese one.
The fact that the jacuzzi has a balboa control systeem does not mean that it is an Americain jacuzzi as you are still buying a chinese spa.
You might say that "ok! it is a chinese made jacuzzi but it has an American controller.Thus it is a good quality spa."

That is totally wrong, there are many other factors that define a high quality spas and a chinese spa has defintely none of them.

What is the consumption of the spa?

There are many important elements that affect the consumption of spa such as the quality of th shell of the spa, the type of insulation  used and the components.

OLI-MAX™ REINFORCEMENT
Our spa’s shell is a technological triumph, we have developed an entirely eco-neutral Acrylic/Abs/polymer laminate system that results in a stronger, lighter, more stable, eco friendly and ultimately bio degradable product.
It even self insulates for both heat and sound, significantly lowering running costs as well as making our spas probably the quietest as well as safest for your family you can buy.

Some benefits of POLI-MAX™ reinforced spa body
- Highly effective sound insulation, probably the quietest Spas available – Take a spa whenever it pleases you and it won’t annoy the neighbours!
- Highly effective heat insulation – which means a longer time between heating intervals - reduced electricity costs!
- Ecologically sound product, easily degradable, (unlike fibreglass it does not give off any hazardous styrol gas). Thus it is not classes as hazardous and meets all relevant EU standards

POLYFOAM INSULATION
Effective insulation is extremely important for hot tubs in order to reduce running costs to a minimum.
The triple “Reflective Thermal Barrier” (RTB ) insulation of WELLIS spas utilizes thermal gains from the spa’s equipment, collecting any waste heat energy and refl ecting it back into the plumbing and shell, whilst keeping out the colder outer air.

We’ve even built our RTB system into our Thermal Spa covers which also have a special reflective foil coating beneath them to bounce rising heat back into the spa water.
This integrated energy management system means WELLIS Spas are exceptionally economical to own.

Many spa manufacturers still use discredited spray foam insulation whilst, a few still mount the spa equipment, actually outside the spa cabinet, beneath the steps.
These old legacy systems are both outdated as well as expensive to run and damaging to our environment.

ADVANTAGES:
- Very long lasting- constant Lambda value.
- Safe- non-toxic, non allergen,
- No condensation, no bacteria,
- Clean, odourless material, no smell,
- No fogging.
- Flexible and light weight material.
- Saves resources, very good insulation properties.
- CFC free!
SCANDINAVIAN INSULATION
For extreme climates we offer the option of our “Scandinavian” insulation. This has a much higher insulation rating with triple layer Polyfoam panels and additional under spa rim and floor pan insulation. Only recommended for extreme sub zero temperatures and not for more temperate climates.

1. Poliurethane spa rim insulation.
2. 3,5 cm thick polyfoam insulation between spa cabinet and floor pan
3. 3,5 cm thick polyfoam spa cabinet insulation
REINFORCED MOLDED ABS FLOOR PAN
The insulated one piece molded floor pan forms the foundation upon which we build our spas. The pan sides extend upwards and form a, moisture and insect proof barrier to protect the spas structure from the detrimental effects of damp ground.
Our reflective barrier insulation system extends across the floor pan to prevent valuable waste heat being drawn through the base by the “cold sink effect” that is created by damp ground.
WPS CABINET FRAME
Immortality for the spa cabinet`s frame!
The special polymer ensures exceptional stability and life for the Spa’s structural frame – protecting and extending the life of your investment even further
