Experience ultimate relaxation

At Wave, our vision is to be the most trusted name in portable hot tubs. That's why we are proud to be the UK's highest-rated hot tub brand on Trustpilot.

The Wave Lush Garda is our square rigid foam spa — a 160 x 160cm interior wrapped in a 15cm PE foam wall and a hard-wearing Teslin outer, with moulded seating arranged face to face.

The integrated heater sits inside the wall itself, bringing the water to 40°C and driving an alternating Y-shaped and I-vertical air chamber for a fuller, more even bubble. A WiFi-enabled wired controller on a 7m cable handles the rest.

Available in Charcoal Black, Flint Grey, Breton Stripe, Burgundy and Navy.

At Wave, we are committed to ensuring our customers love their products. We’ve designed our returns policy to be clear, fair, and fully compliant with consumer law. Here’s everything you need to know if you wish to make a return.

What is included with my spa?

Your spa package comes complete with a cover, filter and the other essential accessories you need to get set up. Full details are in the instruction manual supplied with your spa.

How long is the warranty on my spa?

The Lush Garda offers a 2-year warranty for the pump and heater and a 12-month warranty on the liner

What extras do I need?

We advise purchasing our Starter Kit containing all the chemicals you need to keep your hot tub water clean and safe. For added protection and insulation, we recommend using a Thermal Cover

Can I use my tub all year round?

Yes! Our tubs can sit comfortably outdoors in most weather conditions. We also have built in Anti Freeze Protection when the temperature drops below 5°C (41°F), ensuring your hot tub’s plumbing stays safe and protected from freezing, even during the coldest winter nights.

Does it plug into a normal socket?

Plug it into a weatherproof outdoor socket with RCD protection, and never use an extension lead. Power supply: [TBC: confirm 13 A plug]. Cable length: [TBC].

What base do I need, and how heavy is it when full?

Set it on a flat, level, solid surface such as patio slabs, concrete or decking rated for the weight. Avoid soft lawn. Filled weight: [TBC] for each size, before anyone gets in.

Do I need planning permission?

A portable hot tub on a patio or lawn doesn't usually need planning permission. Raised decking over 30 cm, a listed building or a conservation area can change that, so check with your local council if any apply.

How noisy is it?

The bubble blower is the loudest part. Measured noise: [TBC] dB on low and [TBC] dB on high.

How much looking after does it need?

A few minutes a few times a week: test and balance the water, rinse the filter, and keep the lid on between soaks. Replace filters every [TBC] and change the water every [TBC].
