News & Updates
Guides, ownership advice and updates from the Redhill showroom — written for UK buyers deciding between hot tubs, swim spas, saunas and the kit that keeps them running.
What’s new at Canadian Spa Company UK and what’s worth knowing when you own one of our spas. Trade show appearances, product launches, the occasional myth that needs debunking, and updates from the workshop and the software side.
Less how-to than the other sections on this site, more “here’s what’s happening.” If you’ve recently bought a spa from us, this is where to check first when something changes — a new accessory range, an app update, a service announcement. If you’re still researching, the buying guide and maintenance sections will be more useful starting points.
