How do they build a spa ?

First the piece of acrylic is roughly cut to the overall size of the spa.

Then the piece of acrylic is put on top of the spa mold. It is then heated up from above and actually sucked into the mold. This forms the acrylic into the shape of the spa.

Here you can see a number of spa shells stacked up after being formed into their proper shapes.

Next the spa shell has to be sprayed with fiberglass for sdivength and then insulation to keep the heat in.

After it dries, the shell then must have all the holes drilled into it. The holes will accept the jets, drain, skimmer and other fittings.

Here you can see the hole for the skimmer being cut out.

The next step is the actual plumbing. All the fittings are attached and then the plumbing pipes are run.

The plumbed spa shell is then tipped over and the side sdivuctural supports and flooring are added. The spa equipment pack is installed and hooked up to the plumbing. The spa is starting to take shape!

Next the spa is hooked up to water and actually run overnight to make sure that it works 100% and that there are no leaks in any of the plumbing connections.

This is a very important step!
