How much does a small swim spa cost?

How many people can a small swim spa accommodate?

In general, a small swim spa can accommodate between one and four bathers or more, depending on the configuration of the model. For example, with the Jacuzzi® J-13™ Swim Spa, you can choose either a comfortable bench or relaxing hydromassage seat from one of nine seating options.

How much does a small swim spa cost?

Small swim spas can range in cost, based on numerous factors. Overall, swim spas can cost between $17,000 and $48,000, or more. This is dependent on factors such as brand and model, features, optional upgrades, and more. Delivery and installation costs can range between $5,000 and $10,000.

There may be additional expenses beyond this, such as costs associated with preparing the area where you plan to have your swim spa placed. Some of these preparations can include laying a stable foundation, such as a concrete slab, and having a professional electrician hardware the area with the installation of a GFCI disconnect from the main electrical panel. This will be required to fully, and safely, operate your swim spa.

When you purchase your swim spa, your swim spa dealer will review in detail any other preparations you will need to make before your swim spa is delivered and installed.

What is the difference between a single-zone and a dual-zone swim spa?

You may have heard about single zones and dual zones in reference to swim spas. A single-zone hot tub typically has one set of equipment. On the other hand, a dual-zone hot tub can be considered two spa types in one because you can choose different water temperatures in the swim area and the hot tub area.

Typically dual-zone swim spa will be larger, upwards of 20 feet, with greater length for swimming and more options for hydrotherapy seating. Large, dual-zone swim spas truly offer the best of both worlds with completely separate swimming and spa zones. With a large, dual-zone swim spa, you will also have more privacy, with a barrier separating the swim zone from the hot tub zone.

Does size determine the price of a swim spa?

The size of your swim spa does not necessarily directly correlate to its cost. Rather, most swim spa prices are more dependent on factors stated above, including luxury models from premium brands. For example, Jacuzzi® Swim Spas are made with the highest quality materials, functions, and jets. They are also equipped with a vast list of standard features (as well as optional upgrades) to create a comprehensive experience for fitness, play, and relaxation.

As previously mentioned, the zones of a hot tub as it relates to the equipment for filtration, circulation, heating, and treatment may affect the cost of a small swim spa. In this case, single-zone hot tubs can be less expensive than dual-zone swim spas.

The Jacuzzi® PowerPlay® Swim Spa Collection is the most popular.

If you have been considering a small swim spa based on your budget, you will be pleased to know that you could buy a larger swim spa for a similar cost, depending on the brand and model you select. Another key factor to keep in mind when shopping for your dream swim spa is financing options.

Through your trusted swim spa dealer, you can obtain a financing arrangement for the swim spa of your dreams, regardless of size. When you opt to finance your swim spa, you can make monthly payments, which may vary based on the specifics of your terms, that will make affording any size swim spa easier.

If you are trying to decide between a mini pool (sometimes called a cocktail pool or a plunge pool) or a hot tub, you don’t have to sacrifice one over the other. A small swim spa is ideal for more intimate spaces, while still offering ample space to exercise, entertain, and unwind.

Small swim spas are ideal for singles, couples, small families, and intimate groups of friends. They offer the incredible combination of a robust fitness trainer for swimming turn-free laps, a central place to play and unwind, and a separate area for unparalleled hydromassage.
