In-ground Spas
Here at West Coast Spas we can arrange all of
our spas to be installed in the ground.
There are a few types of inground spas.
1. Inground spa fully in the ground (like a pool)
2. Inground spa half in the ground (lime stone wall around the
spa)
3. Portable spa half in the ground (as pictured to the right)
4. Portable spa fully in the ground
Yes portable spas can be put in-ground, the reasons people do
this is so that there is no external plumbing. You can see with
the picture below, with an inground spa an area is also needed
within 6m of the spa to put your pumps, heater, blower, control
system and plumbing. When using a portable spa everything is self
contained in the spa, so there is no need for another area.

How to make a portable spa into an in-ground spa
1. Dig a hole big enough to fit the spa plus approx 300mm spare
all around
2. build a retaining wall in the hole
3. Make sure there is drainage of some type
4. lay a cement slab or pavers
5. lower the portable spa into the hole
6. build a deck around the spa, make sure you still have access
to the cabinet doors of the portable spa (use screws not nails
in the deck and/or have trap doors or removable decking)
