What do you need to know about a 4 person spa?
Spa for 4 people in Belgium and Luxembourg
The spa is a true source of well-being. It can be installed inside or outside your home. Do you live in Belgium or Luxembourg and want to relax in a hot tub? Here's what you need to know about a 4-person spa.
What is a spa?
Designed primarily to generate mind and body, the spa, also known as a bubble bath, whirlpool or jacuzzi, is a basin containing hot water diffusing pressurised air and water. The adjustable water jets give you a massage throughout the session. The spa is sometimes equipped with spa jets or hydromassage nozzles, which obviously have a massaging effect on your body.
Its power, variety and configuration make the spa a very effective device for relaxation or massage. As for the bubbling, this action provides a feeling of relaxation and well-being. It should be noted, however, that the spa is only useful for relaxation, not for washing.
It is usually operated by a heating system, a filtration system and a hydro massage system. A spa for 4 or more people is always recommended if you want to have this kind of device in your home.
What are the benefits and advantages of spas?
More and more people are now starting to make a bubble bath their home. Indeed, they may be right not to do without one, given the number of benefits it brings to their daily lives. The spa becomes a real balneotherapy place once you install it in your home. Whether it's a 2 person or 4 person spa, this equipment is primarily designed to effectively keep your mind as well as your body in good shape.
The effects of the massage nozzles and the heat are therapeutic and relaxing. Immersing yourself in water with a temperature of between 32 and 38 degrees improves the circulation. At the same time, your whole body can benefit from the weightlessness that the water creates.
The existence of jets positioned on the seat of a spa is of great help in massaging areas of your body. The bubbling water relaxes your muscles, relieves some of your pain and relieves your stress.
How to choose the right 4-seater spa?
If the 4 person hot tub is the right one for you for particular reasons, it is important to choose it well. Of course, this spa is designed to support up to 4 people. It can be installed both inside your home and outside. However, here are a few things to consider before purchasing a hot tub of this size.
What type of material to choose?
There are many choices available on the market. All you have to do is focus on the quality of your 4-person spa, as this guarantees a longer life and requires little maintenance. With softub, you will certainly get a must in hydrotherapy. One of these is the inflatable spa, sometimes made of laminated PVC. It is very practical, light and easy to handle. It doesn't take too long to assemble and can be transported anywhere.
It is indeed a model that is suitable for small budgets. The 4-seater acrylic spa is rigid and square in shape. The seats are seated and sometimes reclined and are moulded into the shell. The tub is made of acrylic and is perfectly smooth. This type of spa is of good quality, non-slip and UV resistant. For a warm, natural feel, a wooden spa is ideal.
It is a Nordic bath that requires special care. And if you can afford it, opt for the high-end mosaic 4-person spa. It has a concrete base with a mosaic covering. With this spa, you will enjoy a Roman bath atmosphere.
All colour and design combinations are possible. The concrete 4 person built-in spa is also a high quality spa. It is like a small pool in the middle of your garden or terrace. However, it requires a lot of work to install.
Size, volume and dimensions of a 4 person spa
In principle, a 4 person spa has similar characteristics to a 6 person spa. With smaller dimensions, the volume of water in the spa will be smaller. However, the composition of the spa is always more or less the same. In order to obtain the weight of the filled 4-seater hot tub, the weight of the water in the tub must be added to the empty weight.
For example, 500 litres of water is suitable for 500 kg of water. Knowing this simple size calculation allows you to estimate where you want to place your 4 person spa. Also make sure that the floor on which it will be placed is strong enough to support a full spa.
If this becomes necessary, professional advice is important, especially if you are considering an upstairs location. 4-person hot tubs are available in square or round shapes. You will rarely find original shapes.
External or internal use
There are three main factors to consider before installing a 4 person spa: privacy, convenience and space. The indoor location is ideal for making the most of relaxing moments with family and friends. With this choice of location, you don't have to worry about the weather and you will be perfectly out of sight.
It can be installed in a bathroom, a veranda or simply in a room where you have dedicated time for. An indoor spa also requires a special ventilation system or an air dehumidifier. In case you are more attracted by the idea of an outdoor spa (terrace or garden), opt for a quiet environment, conducive to a relaxation session.
If your garden is close to a busy road, this is not an ideal choice. Also, the spa of this model must be installed close to a power source because of the large number of connections. With a softub hot tub, the electricity consumption is lower.
Types of 4 person spa installation
If you are considering an above ground installation for your new spa, check that the ground is strong enough and can fully support a weight in excess of one tonne. A hot tub is not installed directly on gravel or on your garden lawn. A concrete slab (about 15 m thick) must be created first.
The location area should be flat and stable for maximum comfort. For an in-wall spa, placement is usually done in three days if done by a professional
