In-ground Pool Spa
In-ground pool spas are additional features added to in ground pools. For in ground pool spas to be installed there needs to be an additional area added to the pool which is made into a spa. Using the pool overflow water, the spa is designed for additional relaxation options. These Spas have limited temperature features as they share the same filtration systems as the pool, however they still have the powerful water circulation jets, which provide a massaging effect to the body.
In-ground pool spas can be installed in fibreglass pools, however they must be selected whilst designing the shape of pool, these spas can not be added mid-way or after the construction of the pool.

However, if you are installing a concrete pool the spas are much more straight forward to design and install. Again, they need to be selected during the design phase. There are more options for the spa when it comes to shape, seating, size, and access to the spa when constructed as a concrete pool.
In-ground pool spas are not installed as a singular installation. If a small in-ground spa sounds appealing than a plunge pool may be a better suited option. Plunge pools will be able to provide 50% of the features that a spa provides.
Features that can be added to in-ground pool spas include
- Separate heating and cooling
- Additional Jets for neck, shoulder, and feet massagers
- Colour changing lights
- Seating
In-ground pool spas are much cheaper than the overall cost of install a swimming pool, however, still a surprisingly affordable feature that can be added. The estimated starting price for a basic in-ground pool spa is $10,000, pricing will then vary based on additional features added to the spa.
Please note that local council approvals may apply in your area prior to installing a spa and confirm the rules around fencing. Talk to your local spa specialist for all know in your area.
