  • Social distancing will remain a priority and the Salesperson and customer must remain 1 metre apart from each other at all times. There will be markings on the floor to indicate this distancing across all our Hot Spring showrooms.
  • Sales professionals will disinfect all eftpos machines before and after every transaction as well as all furniture customers have come in contact with.

What you need to know about Chlorine and COVID-19?

Furthermore, we understand Hot Spring customers may be concerned using their spa pool or swim spa during this time.

At Hot Spring Spas, water hygiene and our customers' health and well being has always been most important to us. It is for this reason Hot Spring Spas are designed and manufactured with the highest and strictest quality standards in New Zealand and Australia with ISO 9001 certification.

We encourage Hot Spring Spa customers to continue regular and adequate spa pool sanitisation (with chlorine or bromine) to balance their pH levels in their spa pool or swim spa.
