Get Ready for Summer with Portable Spas New Zealand
As summer approaches, many Kiwi families are gearing up for relaxing holiday moments with their portable spas. At Portable Spas New Zealand, we want to ensure your spa remains in perfect condition while you're enjoying quality time with loved ones. With our Christmas closure coming up, planning ahead is key to uninterrupted relaxation during the holiday season.
Christmas Closure Dates
Portable Spas New Zealand will be closed from 24 December 2025 to 4 January 2026.
- Last working day: Tuesday, 23 December 2025
- Reopening: Monday, 5 January 2026
This closure affects sales, customer service, and our technical service centre. We strongly encourage early action to address any spa-related needs before the closure period begins.
Why Advance Planning is Essential
November and December are our busiest months of the year, as New Zealand families prepare for summer entertaining and backyard relaxation. This high season can lead to:
- Longer wait times for servicing appointments
- Shipping delays due to increased demand
- Limited availability of technical support
Avoid these challenges by planning ahead. Whether it’s servicing your spa control unit or stocking up on supplies, early preparation ensures peace of mind throughout the holidays.
Book Your Control Unit Servicing Early
If your spa control unit hasn’t been serviced in the past 12 months, now is the perfect time to schedule an annual service. This essential maintenance keeps your spa running smoothly during the busiest season.
Benefits of Annual Servicing
- Prevents breakdowns: Technicians identify and fix issues before they cause problems.
- Optimises performance: Maintains energy-efficient heating and reliable operation.
- Protects your warranty: Regular servicing supports warranty coverage.
- Provides peace of mind: Enjoy your spa worry-free, knowing it's been professionally checked.
Easy Booking Process
Book your annual service early to ensure availability before Christmas. The service costs $150 (additional costs only apply for major component replacements). Simply send your control unit using our prepaid return shipping label and we’ll handle the rest!
Stock Up on Essential Supplies
During our closure, you won’t be able to purchase maintenance essentials like chemicals or filter cartridges. To avoid running out, check your current stock and order what you’ll need.
Must-Have Supplies
- Filter Cartridges: Replace old filters and keep extras for peace of mind.
- Chemical Supplies: Stock up on chlorine or bromine, pH adjusters, alkalinity balancers, test strips, and shock treatments.
- Specialty Products: Foam reducers, clarifiers, and scale prevention treatments can enhance spa enjoyment during the holidays.
Summer Usage Tips
Expect increased spa use during summer holidays. Stock enough supplies to account for:
- Higher chemical consumption
- Frequent filtration and cleaning
- Extra maintenance for holiday guests
