How Expensive is it to Own a Spa?

The dream of owning a spa is one that many Australians aspire to. There are few things better for making the most out of a warm summer day than taking a dip in a spa and letting the massage jets take away your stress. They’re great for relaxing in solo or catching up with friends and family.

One thing that scares many would-be spa owners is the idea of the potential costs involved. After all, we’ve all heard an envious friend or work colleague talking about how expensive their neighbour’s new spa must be to maintain. There are a few things to keep in mind when you hear anyone talk about the expense of a pool or spa. These are, that most people are thinking about the volume of water in a pool and spas are much smaller, requiring less time, attention and consumables. Second, technology has come a long way and spas and pools are much easier and cheaper to maintain than they once were. Finally, many people rationalise why they wouldn’t want their own spa or pool, simply because they are jealous of those who do. With all that said, let’s break down the actual costs of owning your own spa.
