Heated Water and Jet Therapy Year-Round

Custom spa construction in Little Rock for homeowners who want a dedicated space for relaxation and outdoor comfort.

You want a place where you can sit in heated water after a long day or during cooler months when the pool is not in use. Custom spas are built to your specifications, whether you want a standalone structure in your backyard or a raised spa attached to an existing pool. In Little Rock, where fall and winter evenings can drop into the forties and fifties, a heated spa extends your outdoor season and provides a comfortable spot for soaking without heating an entire pool.

C.W. Platinum pools builds custom spas using gunite construction, which allows for flexible shapes, depths, and seating arrangements. You can include built-in benches, contoured seating, and jets positioned for back, neck, and leg therapy. The spa is equipped with a dedicated heater, circulation pump, and filtration system, so it operates independently or integrates with your pool equipment. Finishes include plaster, tile, or aggregate, and you can add LED lighting, spillover edges, and decorative tile work. The spa is designed to complement your existing landscaping and hardscapes, creating a cohesive outdoor space.

What You Will Notice Once the Spa Is Finished

Once the spa is completed and filled, you will feel the difference that contoured seating and strategically placed jets make. The benches are molded into the gunite shell at heights and angles designed for sitting, and the jets are positioned to target specific muscle groups. In Little Rock, where outdoor living spaces are popular, a well-designed spa becomes a focal point that draws people outside even when the weather cools.

The heater brings the water to your preferred temperature, typically between one hundred and one hundred four degrees, and the insulated plumbing helps maintain that heat with less energy loss. The filtration system keeps the water clean without frequent draining, and the circulation pump moves water through the jets at adjustable speeds. You will notice that the spa holds its temperature longer than portable models, and the permanent structure resists fading, warping, and wear better than acrylic or plastic shells.

Your spa will include a control panel for adjusting temperature, jet pressure, and lighting. If you add a spillover edge, water flows from the spa into the pool, creating a visual and auditory effect. Tile is often used for waterlines, coping, and interior accents, and it resists staining better than plaster alone. This service does not include decking, landscaping, or pergolas, but those elements can be planned alongside the spa build.

Most Homeowners Want to Know These Details First

Homeowners in Little Rock often ask about heating costs, jet placement, and whether a spa can be built separately from a pool. These answers cover the practical concerns that come up during planning.

How much does it cost to heat a custom spa?
Heating costs depend on the size of the spa, insulation, and how often you use it. Most homeowners in Little Rock spend between fifty and one hundred dollars per month during cooler months to maintain comfortable temperatures.
Can a spa be built without a pool?
Yes, standalone spas are common and operate with their own heater, pump, and filtration system. They can be placed anywhere in your yard with access to plumbing and electrical lines.
How are jets positioned for therapy and comfort?
Jets are placed based on seating layout and targeted muscle groups, such as lower back, shoulders, and calves. You can adjust the number and position of jets during the design phase.
What is the typical timeline for a custom spa build?
Most custom spas in Little Rock take four to six weeks to complete, including excavation, shell construction, plumbing, equipment installation, and finishing. Weather and complexity affect the timeline.
How often does a spa need maintenance?
You should test water chemistry weekly, clean filters monthly, and drain the spa every three to four months depending on usage. The surface may need resurfacing every ten to fifteen years.
