Do you wish your pool was a soothing hot tub instead? You’ve come to the right place. Research shows that the wellness industry, which includes spa treatments, was valued at $4.2 trillion in 2017!
After having invested in a large swimming pool, you may think a spa would’ve been more your speed. But who said the two designs couldn’t be merged into one? Here’s how you can remodel your existing swimming pool into a spa for all your recreational needs.
High Temperatures
If you want to create a tranquil bliss within the confines of your outdoor living space, you may want to crank up the temperature in your pool from 85 to 99–104 degrees. Check if your swimming pool has a spa mode function. Why? With high temperatures, your pool’s pH balance will be altered repeatedly. You’d be surprised to know that swimmers lose more than 1 liter of body water in a spa, so make sure the water level is up to par. Installing on-scale resisters can prevent warm water from creating mineral deposits in your pool.
Jets
You cannot change your pool to a hot tub without jets. How else will your backyard become a paradise without soothing massage bubbles? The type of jet you choose depends entirely on your needs. They range from mild relaxing jets to high-pressure ones. Different sized jets can also suit varying age groups in your family.
For example, smaller ones may be suitable for your children while your parents’ aching muscles may be comfortable with large, relaxing jets. If you’re looking for therapeutic massages every other day after work, soft tissue jets will work best for you. Just make sure you get them in stainless steel, clean them annually, and occasionally check the filter for replacement.
Chemical Alteration
If you thought your spa would require less upkeep, think again. You must adjust the chemical levels regularly in your spa with the help of test strips. Keep the jets on while adding elements in so they mix with the water. If you’re turning your pool into a salt-water Jacuzzi, you should keep the added cost of a salt chlorinator in mind, and since high temperatures make salt turn caustic, internal parts need to be changed often as well.
