A spa (sometimes also referred to as a “hot tub”) can be added to any style of in-ground pool, adding yet another level of beauty and excitement to the backyard. On a fiberglass or vinyl-liner pool, a “spillover” spa is the most likely option. (The spa is placed at the edge of the pool, with essentially a “waterfall” that allows any excess water to “spillover” directly into the swimming pool.)

With concrete pools, on the other hand, you’re not limited to a “spillover” configuration. Your spot can be above the pool, below the pool, inside the pool, completely separate and outside of the pool, etc. It can be simple and basic, or built with a vanishing edge or perimeter overflow. With concrete, the options and styles for a spa are as limitless as the styles and options for the pool.
