Integrating a Spa Into an Existing Pool Layout

Many homeowners with pools have wondered about adding a spa for increased relaxation opportunities. The good news is that adding a spa to an existing pool is completely feasible. Various spas are available to customize their appearance and ambiance even further.

Let's discuss different types of spas and their features.

Attached spas

These spas are on the same level as the pool. They are arguably the most popular design option and can transform an outdoor area. These attached spas are ideal for those with optimal space to expand their pool areas.

Raised overflow spas

With these spas, the water level is higher than the structure's edge. The water cascades over the spa's walls and into the pool, creating a floating illusion. Raised overflow spas are eye-catching and will become a focal point of any pool area.

Detached spas

Detached spas are popular for those with limited expansion space in their pool area. The design typically matches the pool's design, making for a more cohesive look.

Integrated spas

This spa type is built inside pools, offering a unique touch to any pool area. Integrated spas can be attached at any point of the pool if the shape and existing utilities allow.

Benefits of adding a spa to a pool

There are quite a few health and wellness benefits to adding an at-home spa to a pool area. The jets and flow of warm water can help improve blood flow and relieve chronic pain. Improved circulation promotes healing, reduces swelling, and can help the heart function better.

Stress relief is another benefit of having an at-home spa. The main reason people invest in spas is for relaxation. Sitting in a warm spa after a stressful day can help loosen tense muscles and restore a positive mindset.

Believe it or not, soaking in a spa can positively impact sleep habits. Massaging jets can relieve tense muscles, while the warm water helps ease the body. Relaxation is vital to the body as it keeps blood pressure healthy. If blood pressure is elevated, sleep can be difficult. Soaking in a spa and relieving tension and stress can lower blood sugar levels, promoting better sleep.
