Backyard swim spas you must see

If you’re planning a custom deck or patio, make sure to factor in drainage, sun exposure, and privacy. Also, consider how you’ll get the spa into your yard. When you purchase a swim spa from a reputable swim spa dealer, they will likely help you arrange delivery and installation. However, keep in mind you may need to hire an electrician to prepare the space for installation and have them return to finalize the hookup once your swim spa has been placed.

Depending on where you live, there may be specific zone requirements to abide by. Do your research prior to purchasing your swim spa so you are fully prepared and aren’t caught off guard if there are extra steps you need to take to prepare for the arrival, placement, and installation of your swim spa.

What to look for when shopping for a backyard swim spa

Shopping for a swim spa can feel overwhelming with so many options on the market. Here’s what to consider when making your decision:

Swim current quality

The heart of any swim spa is its current. Look for a model with adjustable resistance and a smooth, wide current that doesn’t create too much turbulence.

Hydrotherapy features

If muscle recovery or relaxation is important to you, evaluate the number, placement, and power of hydrotherapy jets. Some models offer full-body massage options or targeted jets for your back, neck, and legs.

Temperature control

Dual-zone models allow you to maintain different temperatures for the swim and hot tub areas. For example, you can set the swim area to a cooler workout temperature and the hot tub zone to a soothing heat for blissful hydrotherapy that melts your worries away.

Insulation and energy efficiency

Since your swim spa will likely be used year-round, make sure it includes high-quality insulation and an energy-efficient cover to keep heat in and operating costs down.

Smart technology

Many modern swim spas come with WiFi connectivity and remote controls through apps. These innovative features let you adjust temperature, set filtration cycles, and troubleshoot issues—all from your phone.

Build quality and warranty

Choose a swim spa from a reputable manufacturer with a solid warranty and customer support. Look for durable materials, superior engineering, and stunning designs.

The real proof in the pudding is to experience the Jacuzzi® swim spa difference for yourself. Those that purchase a Jacuzzi® swim spa are amazed at how much better the swim and hydrotherapy experiences are in versus a lesser quality brand. But you should see for yourself—a wet test gives you the opportunity to do just that. You can arrange to perform a wet test at your local swim spa dealer on the Jacuzzi® model that you have your eye on.
