Can a spa really help relieve the pain from arthritis?
Yes. In fact, the National Arthritis Foundation recommends a daily regimen of spa use to help improve flexibility, range of motion and to ease pain. A spa is also great to help untangle tense muscles and relieve everyday aches and pains.
Can I put the Spa-n-a-box together myself and how long does it take to put it together?
One person can put one of the Spas-n-a-box together in 30 minutes or less. This does not include filling it up with water.
Do I need special plumbing for my spa?
No! That's one of the great things about our portable spas. Because the spa has a built in heater and filtration system, you leave the water in for up to four months. Simply fill the spa with a garden hose and drain it with a hose bib connection or with an inexpensive submersible pump.
How difficult is it to install a Spa-n-a-box?
Because every Comfort Line Spa is completely self-contained, it is quick and easy to install. All that's required is a flat, level surface that can handle the weight of the spa with water, a 15 amp electrical hook-up (20 amp for the Antigua) and a garden hose to fill it up. In just a few hours, you can be enjoying the warm, swirling water of you own Comfort Line Spa.
How much will my spa cost to operate?
A lot of different factors affect the cost of operation of your Comfort Line Spa. Things like your specific region of the country, the cost of electricity in your community, how often you use your spa and where is your spa sitting. However, your Comfort Line Spa is one of the most energy efficient spas on the market.
How safe is a spa?
Safety is absolutely the top priority at Comfort Line Spas. Comfort Line Spas are built to Underwriter Laboratory (UL 1563 safety standards) stringent safety standards as well as CSA and CE. U.L. is the worldwide leader in safety testing. As with any other product that involves water, you should follow all electrical precautions outlined in our owner's manual. And even though our spas come with locking covers, you should never allow children to play around the spa without adult supervision.
Should I put my Comfort Line Spa inside or out?
It's up to you! All Comfort Line spas fit through a standard door, so getting them inside isn't a problem, but they are so well insulated that using them outside makes a lot of sense. When you use a spa inside, you sacrifice size and depth, but that might be worth it if you want to prevent the elements from getting to your spa. On the other hand, a lot of people enjoy relaxing under the stars and savor soaking in the warm, swirling waters of their spa during even the coldest days. Inside or out, the choice is up to you.
What are the walls of the Spa-n-a-box made of?
The panels that form the wall are made of a light weight, high density rigid insulation.
What's the difference between a spa and a hot tub?
The term "spa" and "hot tub" are now used interchangeably, but originally they meant two different things. In the early years of the spa business, a "spa" was made out of acrylic or some other thermoplastic. A "hot tub" on the other hand, was a wooden tank made out of redwood, cedar or similar wood. Both had therapy jets, a pump, and a heater and were designed for relaxation.
For a while in the late 70's and early 80's, wooden hot tubs were very popular, but as acrylic portable spas became more sophisticated in design and maintenance- features, hot tubs eventually lost their popularity, but the "hot tub" name became part of our language.
