3. It moves with you
Even the longest-term renters wouldn’t install a permanent spa pool in their home.
While you might be desperately seeking a backyard soak, installing such a spa is a risk not worth taking, as you’ll be waving it goodbye as soon as your lease ends.
You’ll also be putting your hard-earned money directly in the landlord’s pocket.
Even homeowners can be hesitant to install a permanent spa, as they’re unable to take it with them if they choose to sell.
On the other hand, by choosing a Hot Spring portable spa, you can take it with you.
No matter whether you’re a renter or a homeowner, when the time comes to move you can drain and unplug your spa, pop it in a van and take it to your new property!
4. Sturdy and built to last
"Why wouldn’t I just get a cheap inflatable spa?" you might be asking yourself.
It’s true that these ‘bargain’ options also offer simple installation and maintenance, and can be taken wherever you need.
However, there are a few key areas in which they fall down.
First and foremost: inflatable spa pools simply don’t last.
The soft plastic that makes inflatable spas so light and portable also forms their greatest weakness.
A puncture is all but inevitable and can happen at any time: perhaps a stick was kicked into the side of the spa, or you placed the unit on top of a stray screw.
These spas aren’t weather-resistant either – left exposed to the elements, the plastic will degrade and eventually leak, while keeping an inflatable spa out of the weather means draining and refilling it constantly.
Portable spas, meanwhile, are incredibly strong, sturdy and built to last.
When cared for correctly, a Hot Spring spa pool can last decades, all while standing up to whatever Mother Nature might throw at it.
And if certain parts do begin to degrade, maintenance tends to be far simpler than with a more permanent spa.
