I'm considering installing a Swim spa, I recently saw one at an agents in UK canadianspacompany and I wonder if anyone has any knowledge or experience of them? do they attract any special conditions for security or taxation such as swimming pools do?      Report

For above ground pools, swim spas and spas you do not need to consider additional taxes or security.   If you put steps up to a swim spa though, you would need to think about that.   Either make them removable or have some way of blocking access. We have been supplying spas and swim spas, hot tubs and saunas in France now for 4 years. Be aware though that if they go below ground you may need to complete a déclaration préable – depends on your local Mairie.    They will comply with safety rules though as they have an insulated lockable cover with them.

Thanks for that John, though I'm really looking for owners experiences, problems, running costs, foibles, etc, before going down that route, I have decided against a pool for reasons of cost, amount of use and maintenance.    Report
