Frequently asked questions

What customers ask

Real questions about selection, operation and installation — not theory, but the essentials.

How much does it cost to operate a hot tub per month?

It depends on the size, insulation, thermal cover and set temperature. The quality of the insulation and the level of coverage will have the greatest impact on the costs. You can find a specific breakdown in the article on operating costs.

What about electricity consumption and insulation?

A well-insulated hot tub with a thermal cover maintains the temperature and heats only when needed. Insulation of the shell and a high-quality cover are the main factors of savings. We also provide suitable electrical preparation.

Where to place the hot tub — in the garden, on the terrace, or in-ground?

The hot tub can be placed on a terrace, in the garden or even embedded in the paving. For a recessed hot tub, a mobile terrace is a very clean solution that hides the water and creates a walking area.

What does technical preparation (substrate, electrical) involve?

All you need is a flat base, electricity supply according to the model, and access for transportation and subsequent service. We plan everything in advance to ensure a smooth installation.

Does the hot tub work in winter?

Yes. A quality hot tub is built for year-round operation — with a thermal cover, it maintains the temperature even in freezing temperatures, and winter swimming is one of the biggest benefits.

Can water be covered with a mobile patio?

Yes. The mobile deck slides out at the touch of a button to reveal the hot tub or swim spa — when you're not swimming, it forms a solid walking surface above the water. More on the Mobile Decks page.
