The waterfall that flows into the spa can be regulated to keep the water cool in the summer and warm in the winter months. Larger than a regular spa, the spa aspect of this spool feature gives the homeowners a great place to soak and relax in plenty of room, without the work of maintaing a larger size pool. www.longislandhottub.com

This NESPA award-winning vinyl pool also features a gunite spa — the two are attached by a cascading waterfall. Curved natural bluestone coping and engineered pavers connect the multiple levels of this outdoor living space, which includes natural stone retaining walls, brightly colored patio furniture, a beautiful pergola and a bevy of perennials and annual plantings. (This makes for a beautiful backyard view from the screened-in porch on the back of our client's home!)

For a fun place to entertain, the clients wanted a pool or water feature and a patio. Because of space and other considerations, the decision was to create a “spool” or a pool/spa combination. The clients loved that the spool will stay cool during hot summer days and can be heated up on a cool evening. www.longislandhottub.com

A portable spa unit is self contained. This means everything needed to operate it is included within the spa itself, which is partially what makes them so cost-friendly. It also means that wherever it is positioned, water from the rain must be free to drain away from the hot tub. If it can’t escape, the plumbing could get damaged. So when positioning it in-ground, the hot tub plumbing equipment needs to be removed and protected above ground, where it is also accessible for any future repairs or adjustments. www.longislandhottub.com

This is a custom, free form gunite pool with an attached spa. The spa flows into the pool through a rock waterfall built with authentic stone. The pool is finished with French Gray Diamond Brite.
