WaveSpa Eco Foam Hot Tub - Garda 4/6 Person

The 4-person Garda measures 160 x 70cm with a 70-jet AquaJet system and holds 825 litres, priced at £995. The 6-person version steps up to 180 x 70cm, 90 jets and 1100 litres at £1,095. The £100 difference is quite small for the additional capacity, making the 6-person a strong choice for anyone who occasionally hosts more than three people.

The foam side walls clip together to form the structure, and the outer liner wraps around them. Because the liner is a separate component, it can be swapped out independently, so if you want to refresh the look of your spa or replace a damaged panel, you do not need to replace the entire unit. Replacement liners are available in all four colour options.

For most people, yes. The eight foam panels click together without fixings and the heater unit connects to the inner liner via a standard port. Filling takes longer than assembly. The only preparation needed beforehand is having a suitable flat outdoor surface and an accessible power socket within reach of the 7m cable.

The heater unit on the Garda runs considerably quieter than the pump systems found on larger hard-wired spas. During heating cycles, you will hear a low background hum, but at normal garden distances it is not intrusive. During the AquaJet massage cycle the bubble output produces the main ambient noise, similar in volume to a standard inflatable hot tub.

Yes, the foam insulation and included thermally efficient cover are both designed to maintain water temperature in cold ambient conditions. The 1800W heater is capable of reaching and holding 40°C even in low temperatures, though recovery time after a session will be slightly longer on very cold nights. Keeping the cover on between uses is the most effective way to manage energy use in winter.

The spa itself carries a 2-year warranty. The heater and pump unit is covered for 1 year. The inner liner carries a 6-month warranty. If you experience a fault within 30 days of receiving the spa, you are eligible for a full refund. Outside 30 days, faults are covered by replacement under the relevant warranty period.
