Do I need a cover for my spa or swim spa?
Yes, in New Zealand, spa pools must have a lockable cover to comply with the Building Act 2004. The spa cover must be locked when the spa is not in use to prevent unsupervised access by children under five years old. Alternatively, if your spa does not have a compliant cover, you will need to install an approved pool safety barrier.

Yes! We are partners with Q Mastercard and can accept their finance payments for sales. The latest offers, terms, and conditions can be found on the Q Mastercard website, along with information on how to apply.
How do I maintain the quality of my spa water?
Maintaining water quality involves regular cleaning, balancing pH levels, and using the appropriate chemicals. Our spas and swim spas are equipped with advanced filtration systems, including ozone purification and Microban filters, to ensure the cleanest water.
Upon purchasing your new spa, you can refer to its user manual for detailed maintenance instructions.
What warranties do you offer on your spas and swim spas?
Our warranty cover depends on which range you choose.
Silver Spas range:
- 10-Year Shell Structure Warranty, covers degradation of the spa shell.
- 2-Year Shell Surface Warranty, covers cracking, fading, blistering, peeling or delamination of the spa surface.
- 2-Year Cabinet Warranty, covers cabinet degradation and cracking.
- 2-Year Control System and Pump Warranty, covers defects in the control system and pumps.
- 5-Year Heater Warranty, covers defects in the spa pool heater.
- 1-Year Equipment Warranty, covers electrical and mechanical equipment.
Tasman range:
The Australian-made Tasman range carries its own manufacturer's warranty from Spa Industries, with a 15-year TuffBase and TuffFrame warranty, a 15-year shell structure warranty, and 5-year cover on the heater, pumps, plumbing and electronic components. For the full terms, see the Tasman warranty card or contact our team.
What should I do if my spa is faulty or defective?
If your spa is faulty or defective, contact our support team immediately. Our team will assess the issue and determine the appropriate resolution, which may include repair, replacement, or refund. This process aligns with our warranty terms and New Zealand consumer laws.
Do I need a concrete slab for my spa?
While not mandatory, we strongly recommend placing your spa on a stable, level surface, such as a concrete slab, to ensure its longevity and stability. If you plan to place your spa on a deck or other structure, consult an engineer to ensure it can support the spa's weight.
Do I need planning permission or building consent for my spa?
Generally, if your spa has a water surface area of 5m² or less, stands at least 760mm high, and has a compliant lockable cover, you do not need planning permission or building consent. However, if your spa does not meet these requirements or if additional structures like decks are involved, you may need to consult your local council for specific regulations.
 
We highly recommend seeking advice from your local council before installing your spa pool, as regulations may differ between councils.
How do I get my spa into my backyard?
The method of getting your spa into your backyard depends on your property's accessibility. For tight or difficult-to-reach areas, a crane or Hiab truck may be necessary. Our delivery team can help you with a pre-delivery consultation to determine the best approach for getting your spa into its new home.
Who should perform the electrical work for my spa installation?
All electrical work for spa and swim spa installations must be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and compliance with local regulations.

What is the Tasman range?
Tasman is a premium range of portable spas, crafted in Australia by Spa Industries and available in New Zealand exclusively through Silver Spas. Built to handle the harsh Australasian climate, every Tasman spa delivers powerful hydrotherapy, ozone and UV sanitised water, and energy-efficient, all-season performance, backed by the Silver Spas name and support.
Where are Tasman spas made?
The Tasman range is proudly Australian made, manufactured by Spa Industries. Silver Spas brings the range to New Zealand, so you get genuine Australian craftsmanship alongside local Kiwi support, delivery and aftercare.
How is the Tasman range different from the Silver Spas range?
Both ranges deliver premium hydrotherapy and the cleanest water. The main difference is where they're built and some of the technology inside. Tasman spas are Australian made and feature Ozone and UV sanitisation as standard, Arctic Insulation, an Eternawood cabinet and a Gecko control system. Our team can help you compare models and find the right fit for your space and budget.
What warranty comes with a Tasman spa?
The Tasman range carries its own manufacturer's warranty from Spa Industries, which differs from the Silver Spas warranty. Highlights include a 15-year TuffBase and TuffFrame warranty, a 15-year shell structure warranty, and 5-year cover on the heater, pumps and plumbing. For the full terms, see the Tasman warranty card or contact our team.
Which Tasman spa is right for me?
It depends on your space and how you like to relax. The Round 2.1 suits sociable, open seating for six. The Lounge 2.0 and 2.3 add a dedicated lounger for full-body relaxation, in five and six-seat sizes. The Dual 2.0 and 2.3 feature twin recliner lounges for side-by-side soaking. Our team can help you choose, or visit our Penrose showroom to see the range.
Do Tasman spas plug in, or do they need to be hardwired?
This varies by model. Most Tasman spas require a hardwired connection installed by a qualified electrician, while some smaller configurations can run from a standard supply. Check the specifications on each product page, and always have installation carried out by a qualified electrician as required.
