Many people want a vinyl-lined custom spa, but fear it will be difficult to match such a spa with the liner of their pool. At Long Island Hot Tub, we assure you that is not the case. With today’s rapidly advancing technology, vinyl-lined spas, with liners matched to the pool are becoming just as commonplace as other amenities such as vinyl-lined tanning shelves, vanishing edges, swim outs, beach entries and swim up bar stools.

When you meet with a designer/builder they should be able to fill you in on the more technical questions you may have, including whether it’s best to build a spa and pool at the same time, if you want both. However, there are plenty of good reasons for choosing a vinyl-lined custom spa, even if there’s no pool involved.

The smooth feeling of vinyl is a huge selling point, for example. In addition, vinyl liners are made with an algaecide that deters the growth of fungi, bacteria and algae, which makes keeping spa water clean much easier — a huge plus. Also, custom vinyl-lined spas (and pools for that matter) can be ready for enjoying in as little as three to six weeks, depending on weather and town inspections.

Whether on its own, or part of a pool/spa combo, spa water that can run cool in summer and warm in winter is a treat even a pool can’t match.
