What type of base do I need to place my spa on?
Your spa must be placed on a sturdy, flat surface that won’t move or waiver under the total weight of your spa once it’s filled. Do not place your spa on grass.
Does the spa come with a cover for the top of the spa?
Yes, all our spas and swim spas come with fully insulated, lockable covers. Our spa covers are specifically designed to trap the heat, even in the depths of winter!
What type of power supply do I need?
Your required power supply will depend on the spa pool you choose. Spa pools can range from 10amp to 32amp and sometimes even 45amp.
The majority of our spa pools are 15amp and include a cable with a plug that can be plugged into a suitable 15amp socket. Any spa pools that require higher than 15amp and generally hardwired directly to the switchboard on their own dedicated feed.
Typically an electrician will install a 15amp outdoor socket, isolation switch and RCD for you to plug your spa pool into.
Spas with a higher draw than 15amp would require an electrician to wire directly into the spa pool controller, set up an isolation switch and feedback to the switchboard protected by an RCD.
We understand that understanding power supply requirements can be daunting. Call us to talk with an expert 1800993388. We’re here 7 days a week!
How good is hydrotherapy functionality in the Elite range?
The hydrotherapy functionality in this range is truly unparalleled.
Featuring an increased number of jets and pumps to power those jets, the water pressure on offer is second to none. You will find jets to target specific areas such as your feet, calves, and even your thighs, which is rare. On top of that, some of the elite range feature larger jets, such as the HydroWave™ or VolcanoJet to really target those traditionally painful areas of your back and feet for an impressive deep tissue massage.
What’s the benefit of a variable heater?
It means you will be able to continue heating the spa even when you are using the jet pumps. The heater is smart enough to identify how much power is being used to keep your jets cranking, and then use whatever power is leftover to continue heating the spa.
How does the Heat Pump add-on work?
This tool works to make the spa pool more efficient in heating or cooling water, while also keeping your power bill as low as possible. Particularly beneficial in Summer when some groups may want to cool it down during the day and then quickly heat it back up for nighttime.
What are the benefits of an Alpine Sauna?
Besides their stunning wooden design, Saunas are a fantastic way of detoxifying the whole body through the perspiration process, helping to remove waste from the body and skin. This can improve overall health by enhancing blood circulation which can reduce joint stiffness and may relieve other conditions caused by poor circulation. Saunas are know for relieving stress and tension, as well as, rejuvenating skin cells leaving you feeling relaxed and looking youthful and refreshed.
Infrared vs traditional saunas – what’s the difference?
Traditional saunas use a stove to heat the air. As the temperature of the air increases around you, the temperature of your body increases as well due to absorption by heat convection. This causes your body to start the cooling process by transporting blood closer to the surface of the skin and opening pores through sweating.
Infrared saunas also heat the surrounding air but to a lesser degree. Instead, infrared saunas use infrared heaters to emit a specific wavelength of infrared light. Your skin absorbs this wavelength, causing your body’s temperature to rise. This elicits the same effects as a traditional sauna with less overall heat needed.
Sauna running costs
Another difference between a traditional sauna and an infrared sauna is the amount of power required to operate each unit.
Traditional saunas require more overall power to run. This means that a traditional sauna is more expensive to run than an infrared sauna. This can make a difference, depending on how often you use the unit.
How hot will my sauna get?
One of the main differences between a traditional sauna and an infrared sauna is the heat involved while inside the unit.
Traditional dry saunas average temperature is 60 to 80 degrees Celsius, with some models reaching as high as 90 degrees Celsius.
Infrared saunas use a much milder temperature environment of between 45 to 65 degrees Celsius. However, because the heat of infrared saunas travels much deeper into the body, they can cause a more vigorous sweat at lower temperature.
