Small whirlpool for a terrace or balcony
What fits on a balcony
The smallest model has a footprint of 200 × 135 cm and weighs about 260 kg empty. Full of water with two people you reach roughly 700 kg.
For most balconies that is borderline. Before putting a whirlpool on a balcony, have the load capacity assessed by a structural engineer – the whirlpool concentrates that weight into a small area.
On a ground-floor terrace or in a garden there is no issue; a level, load-bearing base is enough.
Small models
Small does not mean stripped down
Even the smallest model has 36 jets, 3 kW heating, LED lighting and a control unit with a display. The difference from the large models is in the number of seats and pumps, not in component quality – the shells are Lucite acrylic, the pumps Waterway and the controls Gecko across the range.
The full list is in the IDOL SPAS whirlpools section.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need permission for a balcony?
In a rented flat you need the landlord’s consent; in an owned one, the owners’ association, because the balcony is usually common property. Assessing the load capacity is your responsibility, not ours.
How do I get a whirlpool onto an upper-floor terrace?
The smallest models pass through wider doors on their side. Otherwise a crane or a lift is used – we arrange that by agreement, priced by access.
