For decades, warm- water- loving homeowners were forced to choose between a portable hot tub and a permanent custom spa as their source of hydrotherapy. Each one has their own set of benefits: Portable hot tubs allow for a greater variety of jet types and configurations, but are pre-manufactured self-contained units, meaning the size is dictated by the available models. Permanent concrete spas (or gunite spas, often attached to a pool) can be custom-designed to any size you wish, but do not have the molded-seats and vast jet arrangement choices of a portable hot tub.
Bullfrog Spas has bridged the gap between these two worlds by offering JetPaks for concrete spas. Bullfrog has always featured interchangeable JetPaks—seatbacks with different jet configurations—on its portable hot tubs. Now the company has created jetted seatbacks that can be installed on concrete spas (new construction only). This allows for a customized back massage while you relax in the spa. What’s more, you can remove the jetpaks from their base, interchanging them whenever you want a different type of massage. This way, you can try as many configurations as you’d like and really get the full extent of hydrotherapy!
Check out these installations to get ideas for your own custom spa with JetPaks.
This first setting features a cozy sitting area for two, stone coping and decking, a pool with waterfalls, and a raised concrete spa featuring JetPaks by Bullfrog Spas. Wide ledges around the spa make it perfect for entertaining as guests can easily set down their drinks and towels.
A close-up of the spa shows the jetpaks in action. This spa features five JetPaks and is surrounded by stacked stone.
The third inground spa is accented by red tile for a brick effect. A JetPak was installed to allow for a custom hydro-massage.
