Hot tubs for guesthouses and hotels
A hot tub sells rooms. But a "home" one won't work in a guesthouse.
Wellness is the strongest argument in the accommodation offer today — a room with a jacuzzi sells for more and occupancy is maintained even in the off-season. The catch is what most operators only find out about hygiene: A guest hot tub is not a home hot tub. It is a "bathing pool" by law — with all the obligations that come with it. We manufacture commercial hot tubs that are built for this mode — and because we are a manufacturer, we will tailor the technology to your operation.
What the law says (and why it matters when choosing a hot tub)
Once you provide bathing as a service to guests, you are operator of an artificial swimming pool (Act No. 258/2000 Coll.) and a jacuzzi with water above 28 °C is swimming pool according to Decree No. 238/2011 Coll. This results, among other things:
- operating rules approved by the regional hygiene station and regular laboratory tests of water by an accredited laboratory (results are submitted to KHS, archived for 5 years),
- continuous measurement disinfection, pH and recirculation, monitoring of legionella (tightened for hot tubs — nozzles create aerosol),
- Diluting water min. 45 liters per visitor per day (measured by water meter),
- and the key rule: a pool up to 2 m³ must be drained, cleaned and disinfected daily; volume 2–10 m³ at least once every 2 weeks.
A typical private hot tub has a volume of around 1–1.5 m³ — so in commercial mode you would they released every day. This is precisely why hot tubs are built differently for guesthouses: larger water volume, powerful filtration and automatic water treatment that maintains hygienic limits without manual dosing.
Always confirm the specific mode of your operation with the local KHS — it is assessed individually. We will prepare technical documentation for the hot tub for you for the operating rules.
Commercial version of IDOL SPAS
We manufacture in Jílové near Prague, so we assemble the commercial assembly according to your operation — not from the importer's catalog:
- Sand filtration in an insulated box instead of a cartridge one — power for all-day operation (in the configurator, step "Components for commercial operation").
- Separate circulation pump — continuous recirculation independent of the massage circuits, as required by the regulation.
- Automatic water treatment: automatic dosing and pH regulation (Aseko), continuous pH/redox measurement with overview in the application (Gecko) — hygiene limits are set by technology, not receptionists.
- UV-C / ozone to reduce chemical load and odor.
- Robust base as with all our bathtubs: cast Lucite/Senoplast acrylic, reinforced construction, Gecko/Balboa technology, up to 15 years warranty on acrylic.
- Optional mobile terrace (own production, 224+ realizations): when not in use, the hot tub is covered with a walkable surface — safety, water purity, energy saving.
Economics for operators
- A room or wellness area with a hot tub can carry a higher price per night and extend the season — the investment is calculated for years, not decades.
- Service by our own team throughout the Czech Republic and parts permanently in stock — every day of wellness downtime costs money, so we service quickly. We prepare annual service packages for regular care.
- You can calculate operating costs in traffic calculator; for commercial operation, we will help with the sizing of heating (the heat pump returns the fastest in year-round operation).
How the collaboration works
- Consultation — describe the operation (number of guests, location, indoor/outdoor) → we will recommend volume, filtration and water treatment.
- Offer with prices — as with everything here: specific numbers, no "on request".
- Made to order in Jílové near Prague — we will confirm the date in the offer according to current production — and installation including personnel training.
- Documents for the operating rules and technical documentation for negotiations with KHS.
- Service and care throughout the entire life cycle — we are the manufacturer, we will not get lost in your eyes.
Where our hot tubs are already serving guests
You can find our hot tubs in a hotel wellness center open to the public near our production facility, in a Prague wellness hotel with year-round outdoor operation, and in rental and wedding facilities where the hot tub is a paid service for the stay. We will be happy to arrange specific references and tours of our projects during a consultation.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need hygiene approval for a hot tub in a guesthouse?
If you provide swimming to guests, you are the operator of an artificial swimming pool: you need operating rules approved by the KHS, laboratory water tests and technology that continuously maintains the limits. Confirm the specific regime with the local KHS — we will provide you with technical documentation for the hot tub.
Can I use a regular home hot tub for guests?
We do not recommend it. A swimming pool up to 2 m³ in commercial operation must be drained and disinfected daily — it does not make operational sense. The commercial version with a larger volume, sand filtration and automatic water treatment is built exactly for this mode.
What does "automatic water treatment" mean?
The technology itself measures pH and disinfection, dispenses products and stores the values - the staff just checks the overview (also in the mobile application). Without this, you cannot maintain hygiene limits in daily operation.
How quickly will you resolve the problem?
We provide service with our own team throughout the Czech Republic and keep spare parts (Gecko/Balboa, pumps, heaters) in stock.
Do you also produce larger bathtubs for wellness facilities?
Yes — we manufacture to order including swim spa and atypical dimensions. The design is always based on your operation and space.
