Lit spa spilling over a stone wall into the pool at dusk
Spas

The part of the pool used in January.

The big choice is how the spa sits relative to the pool, and that choice is set when the shell is designed. Here are the two ways we build them.

Two ways to build it

Raised or set inside

Both share the pool water and usually the pool equipment. The difference is how they look and how they sound.

Raised spa with a spillover

The spa sits above the pool and spills over a stone or tile edge. It gives the pool a focal point and the sound of moving water, and in stone it reads natural.

Good for: Natural yards, sound, a visual anchor
Square spa set inside a rectangular pool with a tanning ledge

Spa set inside the pool

The spa sits inside the pool footprint with its edge close to the water, so the lines stay clean and the view across the yard stays open. It suits a geometric, modern pool.

Good for: Modern yards, clean lines, open views
Things to settle

Four decisions before the shell

Heat

Plan the heater with the spa. An attached spa usually shares it through valves.

Jets

Spa jets need more flow than circulation, so they often get their own pump.

Placement

Close to the back door for winter, with a view of the yard from the seat.

Seating

How many people, bench depth and where the steps go. All of it is set in the shell.

Common questions
Does a spa need its own heater?

Usually not. An attached spa normally shares the pool heater, with valves that send the heated water to the spa alone. Heat is what makes a spa worth having in a North Texas winter.

Can I use the spa when it is too cold to swim?

Yes. Valves isolate the spa, so you heat only its water, which is far less than the pool and heats much faster.

Angi puts an in ground spa at $8,000 to $25,000 nationally. More on the pool cost page.
