Introduction: Your Essential Guide to Spa Accessories

Portable spas are a fantastic addition to any Kiwi backyard, offering relaxation, comfort, and wellness whenever you need it. But to elevate your spa experience, you'll likely need to invest in a few accessories. Some are game-changers, while others might collect dust. In this guide, we'll help you navigate the world of portable spa accessories, outlining the must-haves for optimal performance, alongside lifestyle-enhancing extras—and debunking those you can skip. Whether you own an MSpa, Lay-Z Spa, or Bestway Spa, this article is tailored to meet your needs in New Zealand.

Practical Must-Have Spa Accessories

Certain accessories are non-negotiable when it comes to portable spa ownership. These help maintain water quality, improve energy efficiency, and ensure your spa lasts for years to come.

Thermal Covers

Thermal covers are essential for reducing energy costs and keeping your spa water clean. A quality cover can cut energy consumption by 50%, while preventing heat and chemical loss. Look for covers with UV-resistant and water-repellent materials, tailored to fit your specific spa model. Popular options include thermal covers for the Mono-Eco 6 and Oslo portable spa.

Test Strips for Water Quality

Keep your spa water safe and balanced with test strips, which measure essential metrics like chlorine, bromine, alkalinity, and pH levels. For comprehensive testing, consider the 6-in-1 AquaChek Spa Test Strips.

Water Care Products

Proper water care prevents costly equipment damage and keeps your spa in top condition. Stock up on products like pH Decrease and Spa Chlorine to ensure safe, sparkling water every time. Check out our Spa Starter Kits for a convenient all-in-one solution.

Lifestyle Accessories for Enhanced Relaxation

Elevate your spa experience with thoughtful additions that bring comfort and convenience.

Spa Surrounds

If you love entertaining or simply relaxing with style, spa surrounds improve accessibility and add aesthetic appeal. Options like the Wicker 3-Piece Round Set are popular for creating an elegant and functional perimeter around your spa. For square models, check out the Square 3-Piece Wicker Set.

Cup Holders and Headrests

For those long, luxurious soaks, cup holders and headrests make a big difference. Portable Spas NZ offers specialised accessories like the Mono Spa Cup Holder & Headrest. These are designed to fit perfectly, ensuring comfort during your spa session.

Spa Mats

Protect your spa from wear and tear while improving heat retention with spa mats. Options like the Heat Preservation Foam Mat reduce energy costs while keeping your spa base clean and secure.
