We’ve been building spas here in Pakenham Victoria for 20 years now and our state-of-the-art manufacturing plant and also our product just keeps going from strength to strength. We are constantly looking to improve our product. We look for improvements that we can make, whether it’s in pump performance, seat configuration, jet massage or product longevity; it’s all about providing our customers with the best long term value.
It’s very important to Sapphire Spas to work with our local supply chain. We like to know that, wherever possible, we’re spending our money in Australia. Beyond that, we also like to know that everything that comes into our factory has been quality controlled by either our own staff or staff members that we know really well from our supply chain. A Sapphire Spa is not the cheapest spa you can buy, but we truly believe they are the best.
Thank you from the team here at Sapphire Spas
We know we're not the only spa company with the Aussie Made logo but we are the only spa manufacturer that can claim ALL OUR SPAS to be Aussie Made
In our State-of-the-Art manufacturing plant we have established trusted processes to ensure quality control from shell to completion. As an ALL AUSTRALIAN CERTIFIED spa construction company, we are not just an ‘assembly plant’; we have full control of every component of each spa build
Much like a surfboard shaper transfers the love and knowledge of how he wants the final product to perform, we hand make the moulds which create the strong foundation from which all our spa pools and swim spas are built.
The base moulds for each of our spa models are constructed with form ply, MDF, shaping filler and fiberglass for structural support. The shaping for the seats, steps and jet recesses are included after the mould has been made so everything fits and conforms to the shape and interior of the spa. The vinyl ester resin our technicians use can withstand the extreme heat of the vacuum forming oven and retain the shape, form and integrity of each spa pool and swim spa.
After many weeks, the complete mould is braced with steel and the structure is supported with form ply stop eliminate movement and imperfections in the final spa pool surface we delivery to you.
The M5 is a special design because theres no other model that has inserts that can be lifted in and out to make the inside of the pool three or four different types of pool, not one like ours anyway.
All the moulds are made out of form ply, MDF, body filler and a bit of fiberglass here and there, whichever way is the best at the time.
The M5 is a special design because theres no other model that has inserts that can be lifted in and out to make the inside of the pool three or four different types of pool. Not one like ours anyway.
Here at Sapphire Spas, all of our spa and swim spa interior surfaces are created onsite at our Victorian plant so we can control the quality of the finish on the interior surface of your spa. We begin with our acrylic sheet, which has been sourced from Aristech Surfaces. This American company has been producing world-class surface and design materials for over 50 years, to provide quality high-end aesthetic solutions for spa designers and fabricators for over 50 years.
With care to protect the integrity of the interior surface you will take home with you, we form all of our spa shapes in our purpose built vacuum forming machinery. The forming of each individual spa and swim spa shell is watched over by our highly qualified team who have been running this department for the last 20 years in Australia.
The flat acrylic sheet is secured to our spa forming mould with clamps around the perimeter of the sheet to allow us to evenly support across the expanse of the acrylic and form the spa with a consistent thickness and colour cast on the end-product interior coating. The acrylic sheet is then smoothly rolled in to sit under our purpose built heater elements which ensure an even temperature across the acrylic for our smaller spas and also across the 6.0 metre expanse of our larger pools.
After an initial heat up period, we raise the temperature of the sheet to around 200 degrees celcius, supported by a gas torch to reach the final temperature evenly across the expanse of the acrylic. Once the sheet reaches top temperature, it’s very pliable so it’s ready top be lifted over the top of the vacuum forming mould, where we engage the air suction of the forming equipment to shape the sheet into the seating arrangement of the spa or swim spa we're creating.
The reverse moulding technique is unique to Sapphire Spas; we use a specifically made ram to help press the sheet evenly into the undercut mouldings within the footwell of spas like myPartner.
Taking care to create the perfect interior surface for your spa enjoyment, each spa shell we form will remain under suction while the sheet is allowed to cool down to about 80 degrees. We take care to allow the spa shell to cool to about 60-65 degrees before continuing this interior surface preparation process, so the sheet is warm enough to pull out of the mould without cracking but cool enough so that it shouldn’t bend to much.
This creation process allows us to deliver the smoothest and most comfortable interior spa surface on the market today; you have peace of mind that the interior surface of your spa has been inspected and cared for individually by our qualified technician.
At Sapphire Spas we only use the best available materials. A great example is our fiberglass resins, supplied to us by Scott Bader, one of the worlds largest resin manufacturers. We use a vinyl-ester base coat to ensure unbeatable bond strength with the vacuum formed acrylic sheet. This is then reinforced with a high-strength general purpose fibreglass to provide the structural integrity that is required to give a lifetime of support to the spa shell.
In the manufacturing process we do not cut any corners or use any additives that not only cut cost but reduce the quality of the overall product. Many spa & pool manufacturers use filling or bulking compounds mixed into their resins to reduce the cost and make the expensive resins go further. This exercise is detrimental to product quality as the powders used hide air bubbles and errors in the fiberglassing process, leading to long term issues such as bubbling or delamination between the acrylic sheet and the fiberglass structure.
It is our ‘no compromise’ approach across all facets of our manufacturing that allows us to confidently stand behind our industry leading warranty.
Superior quality fiberglass resins, supplied to us by Scott Bader, one of the worlds largest resin manufacturers
Added strength is achieved through the mix of premium quality fiberglass roving thread with resin during application.
We use a vinyl-ester base coat to ensure unbeatable bond strength with the vacuum formed acrylic sheet. Care is taken to begin with a clean surface to ensure the best adhesion and protection against delamination.
Our fiberglass application team apply multiple coats to the footwell and base of the seats to ensure structural integrity.
We overlap each pass of fiberglass by at least half the width of the last spray pass to ensure all areas of the acrylic shell are fully coated and protected.
Where the spa shell moulds around neck jets, head rests and into the lip of the spa, we pay extra attention and even roll to press in for added adherance.
Detailed sections are 'wet down' with an additional spray of resin only to force the fiberglass deeper into these areas for added protection.
An even coating of fiberglass is sprayed onto the acrylic shell
With purpose designed tools, materials and equipment, we keep pace with industry manufacturing processes
Achieving precision shell structure with our purpose built equipment.
Hand rolled fiberglass resin ensures no air pockets for structural stability. With this many people on the team, we won't miss any imperfections.
Our heatlock+ system is the best way to reduce heat loss and keep running costs to a minimum. This system allows Sapphire to create the most energy efficient spa in the World today. Our heatlock+ layered insulation comprises of an insulated custom made cabinet, 2 layers of insulation on interior of cabinet walls and base, high density insulation on shell and a premium Australian made cover.
Sapphire Spas, across all price points, are manufactured with the same level of quality. We do not compromise on the areas that make a difference to you. Every spa in our range is built to the same standard of heatlock+ insulation system.
Sapphire spas cabinets are custom made to each spa so there are no gaps for warm air to escape and no unsightly strip covers. Our cabinets are made extra long so they sit right up high under acrylic shell so there is no heat loss from inside cabinet.
Even the best pump can only perform at its optimum when coupled with precision plumbing. There’s no point finishing off a spa with ‘fancy’ jets and high performance pumps if the artform of free-flowing water has not been honoured. Pipework configuration needs to be precision engineered to allow free-flow water circulation.
Exclusive to Sapphire Spas is our patented SQR jet system which delivers greater jet pressure. The pride our team take in plumbing your spa, ensure better seals and significantly reduced potential for leaks. These free flowing jets, with the seal locking mechanism, provide a 20% increase in water flow pressure at the jet face.
Once all the jets have been installed, the pumps are positioned within the cabinet and securely connected to the plumbing flow. The spa is then moved on to our water testing station where it is checked thoroughly so there's no leaks or problems.
Our 'blast of bubbles' system infuses billions of oxygen-rich bubbles into your spa water, caressing your body in a rejuvenating cloud of oxygen

First they get all the raw materials and cut them to length. Then lay them down until they make the sides of the cabinets. The corners are made using a corner jig. Once finished they use a boomerang, glue it on then nail it all together. They then stain the cabinets using a water based stain and hang them up to dry for an hour to hour and a half. We then glue and screw them to together in the basing area. After that we grab the sides and corner panels, lock them all in and then screw them. Add the base for extra structure support and then add insulation. The cabinets are then fitted onto the shells.
We believe our tried & tested steel & timber framing structure provides a more stable & strong foundation for our spas
In the water test department we fill the spas up with recycled water and check every part to make sure theres no leaks underneath, the jets are airating, touch pads and lights are all working. If its all good then it gets based and pushed through to where it gets detailed.
We clean them, give them a detail and make sure they look really good. We then wrap them and send them to the customer to enjoy.

We want you to spend your time in your spa and enjoying it, not worrying about how much it costs to run. So, you can sit back and relax knowing SpaNET controls have intelligent PowerSmart software and algorithms that are always hard at work monitoring your spa and how you use it to ensure it delivers the lowest possible daily operating cost. The SV Series PowerSmart technology also provides the flexibility to govern the power draw of the spa to a certain amperage in situations where the available power supply is limited.
Spanet technical information
Energy efficient features such as Dynamic Thermal Tuning and Smart Filtration ensures your spa costs less to run
Programmable power save timers to govern heating and/or filtration to occur during solar generation hours or off-peak tariffs
All SV Series spa controls are ready for immediate connection to either single, two or three phase power supplies
A single button press to activate a 20 minute sanitisation cycle to refresh water quality when exiting the spa
Utilising the latest in smart technology every SV Series spa control features a true variable heater which automatically adjusts it output power level (kW) to utilise any residual power when accessory jet pumps are running. This eliminates the traditional need to loadshed and turn heater off when pumps engage, ensuring maximum heat input whilst spa is in use.
What is the Smart Variable Heater?
SpaNET is the first spa control manufacturer to offer a dedicated interface for seamless integration of a heat pump to a spa pool. The SV Series interface provides automatic heat pump detection and disabling of electric element and offers plug-n-play direct cable connection with no need for additional power circuits.
SV Series spa controls feature a dynamic thermostat point which adapts and tunes heat cycles to match the thermal properties of your spa. This eliminates unnecessary on/off cycling of the filtration pump and heater which results in significant power savings whilst still maintaining your desired water temperature
Current Limit and Load Limit functions will govern the power the spa consumes to keep within certain limits if the available power at the property the spa is being installed is restricted. The current limit setting governs the capacity of the variable heater, whilst the load limit setting limits the number of loads (jet pumps and blower) that can run at the one time.

'How hard is it to keep spa water clean?' This is one of the most common questions asked by our customers so we place high importance on providing easy water maintenance for crystal clear spa water.
Spa pools, due to their small body of water and hard cover protection, are much easier to maintain than a swimming pool. They don’t require many chemical additives and there's no need to spend hours brushing and vacuuming. Nevertheless, the small body of water, combined with the fact it is kept warm, means making sure the water is adequately treated is critical. It is therefore essential that every spa be fitted with an effective sanitising system to help ensure any bugs that enter the water are quickly neutralised.
Many Sapphire swim spas and larger spa pools are built with Clearzone 'OZONE+UV-C' ultimate water sanitisation system installed, to ensure crystal clear water with 'no chemical smell'. Most of our spa pool range have Purewater 'CD OZONE' automatic water sanitiser system already fitted, to take care of your spa water. Both of the Sapphire Clearzone and Purewater sanitisation systems can also be added to any of our spas or swim spas as an upgrade.
Clearzone 'OZONE+UV-C -v- Purewater 'CD OZONE' water care systems : what's the difference?
Our Purewater 'CD OZONE' water care system is the most efficient ozone system available. This 'CD' corona discharge system will neutralise contaminants in your spa water so that they can be removed by the filter system.
Clearzone uses the efficiency of ozone in combination with the strength of UV-C light. The combination of these two technologies creates an oxidising agent many, many times more powerful than ozone on its own. This results in much more effective destruction of nasties in the water and also greatly reduces the chlorine by-products that cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation.
Read through the information about these two systems below to compare our Purewater 'CD OZONE' system to our Clearzone 'OZONE+UV-C system so you can decide which will best suit your lifestyle.
Clearzone uses OZONE in combination with germicidal UV-C light to produce the ultimate cleanser for crystal clear spa water.
The combination of these two technologies creates an oxidising agent many, many times more powerful than ozone on its own. This results in much more effective destruction of nasties in the water. It also greatly reduces the chlorine by-products that cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation. It makes the water smell fresh with very little, if any, chemical smell. The other benefit of clearzone is that this process also polishes the water to crystal clear clarity, providing the filter is kept clean and general water balance is maintained.
CLEARZONE IS THE ULTIMATE IN SPA SANITISATION AND DEFINITELY THE WAY TO GO IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR GREAT WATER QUALITY TO ENJOY AND LOOK AFTER YOUR FAMILY!
Clearzone features AOP (Advance Oxidation Process) technology to help deliver incredibly crystal clear spa water with minimal chemical odours or associated eye, skin and respiratory irritation.
Clearzone helps clarify your spa water by generating a powerful oxidiser that burns up dissolved solids in the water so the filter can catch them, it then quickly converts back to oxygen leaving no chemical residual or off gassing odours. This is further enhanced by Ozone AND UV-C sterilisation to kill 99.95% of all bacteria and virus material that pass through the clearzone Unit. Clearzone also breaks down and removes chloramines which are the by product of chlorine which causes the skin, eye and respiratory irritation typically associated with chlorine. This process makes the task of managing the quality of your spa water much easier. It leaves you with much clearer water, significantly reduced need for chemical sanitisers, and greatly reduced chemical odours. Clearzone also significantly increases the length of time between the need to change the spa water.
We recommend our 'Clearzone' water care system in our larger spas and also swim spas for easy maintenance of the larger body of water.
Read more information about 'How to clean your spa with minimal chemicals'
What's the difference between Clearzone & Ozone sanitisation?
Our unique double dose CD ozone and UVc barrier inactivates 99.9% of bacteria, parasites and other micro organisms and effectively oxidises body fats and oils
Clearzone spa sanitation reduces chemical usage by up to 75% on conventional sanitation methods. It maintains a more stable water balance, less prone to pH fluctuations
Experience the purest spa water possible with NO chemical smell, NO skin or eye irritation & NO corrosive effect
You can upgrade to clearzone as it’s easy to retro-fit to existing spas and enjoy the benefits of this new technology
If you have been researching spas, you will probably have come across the term Ozone. Sapphire Spas 'Purewater CD Ozone' system has been developed to combine the most efficient ozone sanitisation methods available today to remove contaminants from your spa water and reduce chemical usage for healthy, clean and clear spa water.
Ozone is the preferred spa sanitisation method and better than chlorine alone, however not all ozone systems are created equal. Ozone automatic sanitiser systems have been around in spas for many years but read below tomake sure you're buying the best.
CD (corona discharge) Ozone systems are the most effective way to use ozone to cleanse your spa water; beware of cheap ozone cleaners with poor injection systems, they may cost less but may have little impact on helping keep the spa water fresh, clean and healthy.
It is essential that your spa ozone system has adequate output and is set up to thoroughly mix and dissolve the ozone into the water. The secret is to ensure there is enough ozone being produced, and then maximise its contact time with the water as much as possible before it reverts to plain old oxygen. It is also equally important to ensure the ozone has predominantly reverted to oxygen by the time it escapes to the surface of the spa water.
A high-performance Corona Discharge (CD) Ozone Unit, combined with an efficient Venturi Injector, are keys to this process so this is how the Sapphire Spas 'Purewater CD Ozone' system is built. The plumbing method used to incorporate this into the spa is also critical so the pipework on all our spas is optimised to support water flow for the best results.

An ozone generator converts Oxygen (O2) from the atmosphere, into Ozone (O3) in your spa. (O3) means that there are now 3 Oxygen molecules. Oxygen is an Oxidiser and when (O3) comes into contact with microscopic particles in the spa water, it dissolves those particles

Clearzone uses ozone in combination with germicidal UV-C light. The combination of these two technologies creates an oxidising agent many, many times more powerful than ozone on its own. This results in much more effective destruction of nasties in the water. It also greatly reduces the chlorine by-products that cause skin, eye and respiratory irritation.
Ozone is an oxidiser; it makes various contaminants in your spa’s water ‘inert’ so that they can be removed by the filter system. In doing so, they make the water not only cleaner, but also safer as they kill nasty bugs and reduce the need for chemical cleansers
Combining smart technology with easy water care, we've created the most energy efficient way to maintain perfect water quality. Simply set your cleansing and filtration system in response to how you use your spa and it will take care of everything for you.
The SV Series Smart Filtration delivers the lowest possible daily filtration cost by recognising the spa is filtering whilst heating and automatically adjusting filtration cycles to account for runtime spent during heating. Other spa controls run fixed amounts of filtration not considering pump runtime during heating resulting in higher energy consumption for no benefit
The One Touch Sanitise button activates a 20-minute water clean cycle that immediately engages the ozone/UV sanitiser module and filtration pump and also sequentially operates all jet pumps and the blower to purge plumbing lines and refresh water quality after spa use. Upon exiting the spa, a simple button press activates the cycle, refreshing the water when it is needed the most.
Spas come in many shapes and sizes and usage time and frequency varies between spa owners. In addition, different spa chemical treatments demand varying lengths of filtration runtime. The SV Series Smart software allows easy adjustment of the daily filtration runtime from 1 -24 hours via a user-friendly menu in the spa-side keypad.
A ten-minute automatic daily sanitising cycle that engages all pumps and blowers in sequence to purge plumbing lines while filtering and running the ozone/UV sanitiser. This feature guarantees no stagnant water becomes trapped in accessory pump or blower lines during days when the spa is not being used, ensuring all spa water remains fresh and ready for your next spa use.
