4 Person Spas

In short, no. Modern spa pools are decidedly low maintenance, and 4 person models require even less effort than large machines:

• Water care: 20 minutes per month (or far less with our FreshWater™ Salt System). 
• Filter care: One hour per month (or far less with our dishwasher-safe Tri-X® filters).
• Draining and refilling: Every 2-3 months (or every 12 months with our FreshWater™ Salt System).

A 4 person spa pool is obviously designed to allow four people to soak at one time. Whether that’s too small for you will depend on how you plan to use your spa.

If you plan on hosting regular parties or large family gatherings, or if you have more than four people in your household, it might be worth upgrading to a 5, 6 or 7 person spa pool. A 3-4 person household might also be interested in a larger spa for the extra room it will offer.

But your preferences in terms of usage also need to be balanced by factors like your budget, ideal spot, available space, accessibility and proximity to your house, as these are just as important.

We’re always here to help, so get in touch with your local Hot Spring dealer for a free on-site consultation.

While your local climate and the way you use your spa will have an effect on how much power it uses, the most important consideration is the efficiency of the spa itself. When a spa pool is able to do more with less you can save serious cash over the life of the machine.

At Hot Spring we are proudly New Zealand’s most energy efficient spa brand, with running costs as low as $1 a day, as proven by independent laboratory testing. You can even check your potential power use with our handy spa pool energy calculator.

You may be able to place a 4 person spa pool on a deck or balcony – but only if the structure is more than capable of taking the weight of the spa when it’s full of water and people. The Limelight Beam, for example, has a dry (spa only) weight of 320kg, which increases to 1750kg when people are soaking in it (based on 4x 80kg adults).

While a strong deck or balcony may well be able to handle this weight, it’s important that you get a professional like a structural engineer to assess the structure to make sure it won’t fail.
