When to buy
Are you wondering what is the best time to buy a spa? Many potential customers have already decided to purchase a Sundance® Spas Jacuzzi to enrich their lives and relieve their stress, but they are not sure when is the best time to do so. Of course, you want to start immediately to improve your health and enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle. The good news is that any time is a great time to buy.
Enjoying a wonderful extended hydromassage
You may be surprised to learn that winter is the season when many people begin to think about purchasing an outdoor spa. Imagine enjoying a wonderful hydro massage as steam rises in the crisp winter air. That's a scene many homeowners imagine when the temperature drops. As tempting as it may be to bring a spa into your home in winter, the installation may depend on the weather outside. If the ground is frozen, you may have to wait until the ground thaws to install a spa outside. For more information, contact your local Sundance® Spas dealer today.
Winter or spring?
The benefits of hydrotherapy in your spa are especially noticeable during the winter months. Many people are less active when it's cold outside and spend more time in their cozy homes. With a Sundance® Spas outdoor spa, you can get outside, stretch, relax and warm up your muscles in the comfort of your spa's soothing water. And if you have one of our energy-efficient spas, you can save on running costs in the winter, too.
Early spring is also a popular time to think about buying an outdoor spa, so you can get the installation done in time to get your spa up and running before summer.
In the summer, you can use the spa at a lower temperature so you don't have to heat a large body of water. In addition, summertime is also a great experience to use your spa at night for extra ambiance. And in autumn, the color-changing leaves can be admired or you can gaze at the stars while relaxing, lying down. Local authorized dealers are also experts in servicing spas in any season and can inform you of special financing and other offers. Now is the time to visit your local Sundance® Spas dealer in the Benelux countries.
Choosing the best spa for you
Sundance® Spas brand spas come in many sizes and seating configurations, so you can always find a spa that best fits your lifestyle. There are some aspects to consider when choosing the right spa for you.With a long history of loyal customers who rely on our brand to deliver the best portable spas on the market, Sundance ® Spas has been making award-winning products since 1979. We have received more accolades and awards than any other company in this industry, and our dealers are absolutely the best and most knowledgeable.
Spa dimensions
Our large spas are ideal for large families or those often hosting guests. Medium spas are ideal for growing families or groups of four, five or six adults. Our small spas are ideal for young couples, parents whose children are out the door and people who do not often host guests. They offer an intimate spa environment without sacrificing quality.
Lounge or no lounge?
How you want to use your spa plays into your decision to choose the best spa. While all of our spas offer plenty of room to relax, combat insomnia and relieve muscle pain, there are a few things to consider. Spas with lounges offer optimal relief from neck to feet for relaxation or therapy. Spas with open seating provide ample space for friends and family to gather. A useful test is to consider when you relax on your sofa, whether you prefer to lean back or sit up.
Try-out
If you're ready to dip your toes - or your whole body - into the water, schedule a test-sit session at your local Sundance® Spas dealer. Stepping into a fully functioning spa is the best way to experience and appreciate all that Sundance® Spas has to offer. Even a dry test-sit test shows you where the waterline is, checks the immersion depth and allows you to check out a variety of seating options. If you are considering purchasing, Sundance® spas are available for try-outs year-round at many authorized dealers.

Preparations for installation
Once you've chosen the ideal spa for your home, it's time to think about where to place it. Installing a spa is a breeze with Sundance® Spas, but there are a few things to consider when preparing for your investment.
Placement
Whatever installation you choose, you will need to choose an area of your yard that is easily accessible and also within reach of a water connection and electrical hookup for your spa. Find a dealer who will conduct on-site inspections to suggest the best spot for your spa, and the installation team will do the work of delivering, filling and connecting your spa.
Basic options
When it comes to your spa's foundation, it is recommended that you consult a professional installer to discuss the best options. Depending on the unique characteristics of your yard, an installer can help you choose the best foundation for your spa.
Work with what you have
Make sure your patio is completely level and that the spa has the proper foundation. If your yard has a slope, create a terraced garden with the spa as the centerpiece. People with small gardens can create a sense of seclusion by mounting a gazebo, placing tall plants or putting up a room divider.
Don't forget the basics
Smaller spas still come in different shapes; look at the different corners of your yard and figure out where a spa would fit best and what shape would look nice. Also, always make sure there is enough room to elevator the cover and reach the internal parts of your spa.
Consider your space
This tip may seem like the most obvious one, but consider it carefully if you want to place the spa indoors. Can a spa go through the front door? Do you need to build a new room for your spa or can you place it in an existing area of the house?
Use the right foundation
Most importantly, the floor must be able to support the weight of your spa. Place your spa on a non-porous surface and make sure there is a drain to catch splashes and drips. Do not place your spa directly on a hardwood floor or on carpet.
