According to Greg Curwood, the best thing about owning an Endless salt water spa is “not being one of the poor sods that doesn’t own one.”
“It is an investment in lifestyle and I can’t imagine life without it now,” he says.
Owning a spa has always been a dream for Greg, to increase relaxation and enhance his lifestyle – and his research told him that a salt chlorinated spa was the way to go.
“We have an Endless Relaxer spa with a monster jet and salt water - it is minimum maintenance and maximum relaxation. I don’t do anything to it. Between my wife and me we use the spa between two to three times a week on average and it completely maintains itself. I just test the water before I get in,” says Greg.
“When my wife brought girls from her yoga class home for a spa, one of them was reluctant to get in as she’d been a nurse who assisted patients with water therapy. As a result she hated the smell of chlorine. She hung around the spa for a few minutes whilst the other girls were in and after a short time she cupped her hand in the water and smelt it. ‘That’s not bad at all,’ she said and a few minutes later she was in and loving it!”
Greg says he mostly appreciates the spa when he’s been busy or undertaking physical activity.
“There are times when we might not have a spa for a week or two because we can get really busy and then I’ll get in it and say to myself ‘I forgot how nice this is’. Then I’ll get in for the next three nights straight. If I play tennis or have a physically hard day I’m straight in after dinner,” says Greg.
The Curwood’s spa is located in their backyard and is incorporated into decking under a pergola. Because of the impressive set up, Greg says the duo has ‘done it all’ in regards to entertaining.
“We’ve had the spa party till 3am, the neighbours’ kids playing who we couldn’t get out, and I’ve often hammered myself with the monster jet to loosen up a stiff back,” says Greg.
“Last summer my wife came home and laughed because I’d bought one of those $5 blow up tyre tubes and was floating in the spa drinking a stubby and watching the cricket on a TV I’d rigged up on a bracket off the pergola post.
“One of the things I also didn’t realise before owning a spa was how well I would sleep when I have one after dinner – like a log! My wife and friends who use it say the same.”
Greg’s advice to prospective spa owners? “I can’t be more fair dinkum than saying you’ll love it, and to make sure you get salt chlorination.” |
