Wellington BBQs and Fire has been one of New Zealand's leading suppliers of spas for several years; we believe our experience has garnered the knowledge and understanding of what goes into making a great spa.
We ensure every Spa SensatioNZ, meets our own tough standards. By working closely with Spa SensatioNZ, we can guarantee that they're designed to warrant great relaxation and hydrotherapy benefits.
Come out of your shell
The interior surface of your spa pool is referred to as the shell, and is made of tough acrylic. Shells are available in many different colours and types. We offer various colours and textures designed for different situations that reflect your indoor and outdoor décor perfectly. Our spa shells are formed by heating a flat sheet of coloured acrylic in an oven and then drawing it into a spa mould. After forming, the acrylic sheet becomes very thin. The acrylic is then strengthened using fibreglass.
The Inside Story/Insulation
Whilst spas are great, big power bills are not. Insulation is crucially important as this determines how much your spa will cost to run. Therefore insulation is one of the most significant things to contemplate when buying a spa.
There are many ways to insulate a spa. The most common method is to spray a foam layer onto the spa shell. This method is cheap and easy to begin with, however your wallet will suffer in the long run; as more power will be used to heat and maintain optimum water temperature.
All Spa SensatioNZ spas have been fully insulated which means the shell and the cabinet of the spa are also insulated, ensuring that excess heat is kept within the spa structure thus reducing heating costs. This method also has the additional benefit of noise reduction; as noise from the pumps are less likely to escape which results in a quieter night's sleep.
Plumbing
All Spa SensatioNZ spas are plumbed not only to last but are plumbed efficiently to minimise the running costs. Using PVC pressure pipe and fittings has well recognised advantages such as protection from corrosion and chemicals, as well as being tougher and more flexible. This means they are perfectly designed to deal with the hot chemically filled water.
All Spa SensatioNZ spas have pumps that offer performance and durability. All pumps are designed to suit the spas specification. Therefore we don't put the top of the range pump on all spas as they don't all need it. As having a higher horsepower pump in a smaller spa is inefficient and a waste of valuable cash. Making sure each pump has the capacity to efficiently optimise performance whilst being durable and saving on running costs for your spa is critical.
