The SmartLink WiFi module and SpaLink app

31 August, 2021

Control your spa remotely from anywhere in the world

The SmartLink WiFi module and SpaLink app allow you to connect to and take control of your spa remotely from any location at any time. The SmartLink module connects to any model SV controller and then uses your home WiFi network to facilitate communication between the app server and the spa. The SpaLink app becomes a mobile, wireless remote for your spa enabling complete control of all settings and accessories including pumps, blowers and LED lights.

 

 

 

Your spa’s mobile remote control

Wouldn’t it be nice to control your spa from your couch, or as you head home from a stressful day at work, or as
you walk out of the gym, knowing your spa water is refreshed, at temperature and ready for you to just sink in. The
SmartLink module gives you that convenient, fingertip control to command your spa when you want and how you
want to suit your lifestyle.

 

 

There are no shortened menus or minimal access to limited settings. The SpaLink app allows complete adjustment of all spa control settings as if you were standing in front of the spa. As well as the above settings the app also provides you with access to adjust the following features.

 

 

Push Notifications

Keep informed about the health of your spa with status updates direct to your phone even if the SpaLink app is not open. Push notifications will alert you of any change to the health status of your spa, and the app will clearly describe what the issue is and provide simple steps and solutions to resolve.

 

 

 

 

Service Technician Tools

Not only is the SmartLink module the perfect accessory for the spa owner, it is a powerful and helpful tool to assist a technician to service a spa. Once accessed, the technician menu provides a fast and convenient method to perform a master software reset to restore factory default settings, or email a Snapshot text file of all SV controller data for offsite analysis. In addition, the Service Information feature interrogates the SV spa control and presents real time and historical diagnostic information in a clear, simple and scrollable menu. So, whether the spa is being serviced onsite, or remotely, the SmartLink module and SpaLink app are an invaluable and must have tool.

 

 

 

Our Customers Install Compact Spas Right Outside Their Back Door For Everyday Use

If you have a small backyard, you should bear in mind that you are always able to update it however you want, as long as you are happy to change around a few basic things and use your creativity. It is possible to buy a spa that will fit into almost any sized backyard or outdoor living space. In fact we find that our customers who install a smaller spa pool right outside their back door, close to their everyday living, tend to keep it ready to use and jump in almost everyday. Spas are made to be economical enough to keep warm 24/7 these days, unlike spas of the past where you needed to pre-heat your hot tub a day or so before you planned to use it. So change the way you think about spas, they don't necessarily need to be stuck down in the back corner of your yard. So if you think your home might be too small, think again. Chances are, you can make it work.

 

Hot Tub In An Apartment?

Next up, you might be wondering whether it is possible to have a hot tub or spa if you live in an apartment. Whether you are a student or you just live in an urban area, and you find yourself in an apartment, is it possible to have a hot tub that you can use privately and just for you?

The answer is a resounding yes: very often, those who live in apartments can still get all of the fun and joy of a portable spa by simply having one installed on their balcony. This is a fantastic solution to this common problem, and another way in which compact tubs are really taking off in city areas.

However, do bear in mind that, if you are seeking to do this, you should contact an engineer to make sure that your balcony can withstand the weight of the portable spa, the water and the people enjoying it with you. Sapphire Spas detail the dry weight of each spa and also the approximate weight once it's filled with water, for you to use as a guide. Don't forget that you will also need to allow for the weight of the people bathing. That is an essential check to carry out for safety reasons, as you can understand. However, as long as the engineer gives you the green light, you are good to go - and you could have a hot tub on your balcony in no time.

 

What About Communal Courtyards?

You don’t even necessarily need to have space of your own in order to have a hot tub installed locally for shared use. If you are happy to share and you have neighbours who are likely to go along with it, you could always make use of a courtyard in your communal living area in order to have a hot tub installed.

With communal courtyards, you have the opportunity to have a hot tub in your local area without needing the space yourself at home or in your own yard. You will of course need to make sure you can get permission to have it installed, and you should consult your neighbours to make sure that this is really the case. Body corporate may also need to be involved.

But as long as everyone is happy with it, this is a fantastic solution, and a great way to make sure you have a hot tub that you can at least use, even if it is not a private one just for you.

 

Do I Need A Large Backyard For A Spa?

You don’t need to have a huge backyard in order to have a spa, despite this being a really common concern that a lot of people have. In fact, thanks to the use of portable spas, you can have a spa or hot tub in a backyard of any size whatsoever. You can always check beforehand if you are feeling uncertain, but the truth is that it is almost always possible to do this.

Often, the hot tub or spa in question can be put into place using a crane, helping to get it into position safely. At other times, we can deliver one of our compact spas via helicopter, ensuring that it is simply placed where it needs to go - so you don’t need to worry about access through doors and so on.

Plus, don’t think that compact spas are limited in massage power. myPartner is one of Sapphire's smallest spas, but it still packs a punch with 52 hydrotherapy jets run by 2 powerful pumps to massage from your neck and shoulders to the soles of your feet. We've selected some of our best back massage jets and positioned them in 3 different configurations in each of the seats, for you to choose which one targets your aching back the best. The longer lounge seat also has water jets positioned all the way down your legs and calf muscles, ending with a powerful foot massage to end your busy day.

The best compact spas still offer a place to rest your drink and somewhere to hang a robe and towel, so you are going to still feel as though you are having a truly luxurious time in your backyard.

As you can see, you can have a hot tub or spa no matter who you are, where you live, or how much space you have available to you. If you have any queries about this or whether you can get a spa installed in the space you have available, feel free to get in touch to find out more.

Here at Sapphire Spas, we are always more than happy to help with any such queries, and we will do all we can to give you the best advice around; get in touch today
