What Determines the Cost of a Swim Spa?

1. Size and Length

Swim spas range from 4 metres to 8+ metres. Every additional metre adds approximately $3,000–$6,000 to the base price.

2. Single Zone vs Dual Zone

Single Zone: One temperature throughout — best for fitness-focused users. Dual Zone: Separate swimming area (28-30°C) and spa section (38-40°C) with independent controls — perfect for families. Dual zone models typically cost $5,000–$10,000 more.

3. Swim Jet Technology

Quality and number of swim jets significantly affects price and performance. Spas Wholesale's AquaStream Dynamic™ system provides a powerful, centred current for all swimming levels.

4. Factory Direct vs Retail

Buying factory-direct from Spas Wholesale — backed by 40+ years of industry experience and 35+ years of manufacturing — eliminates retail markup, saving you 30-40% compared to traditional retailers.

5. Warranty Coverage

Spas Wholesale offers up to 20-year warranty — one of the longest in Australia — included in the factory-direct price at no extra cost.
