Custom Spas — Designed With Your Pool, Not After It
A custom inground spa is not a hot tub dropped next to the pool. It's a structural extension of the pool itself — sharing the same engineering, the same finish materials, and the same design language. At Selah Pools, every spa is designed alongside the pool from the first concept, ensuring the proportions, elevations, and water flow work as one integrated system.
Across DFW, Selah has built spas in every configuration: spillover spas that cascade into the main pool, raised spas with glass tile and stone veneer, perimeter-overflow designs that create a mirror-like water surface, and infinity-edge combinations that visually extend the spa to the horizon. Each spa is finished in the same premium materials as the pool — pebble plaster, glass mosaic tile, natural stone coping.
Therapeutic features include adjustable massage jets, bench seating at multiple depths, LED lighting, and independent temperature control. Every spa is plumbed on its own circuit so it heats independently of the pool — critical for year-round use in the Texas climate.
Spa Design Options
Spillover Spas
Elevated spas that cascade into the main pool — the most popular configuration. Water flows over a weir creating both visual movement and soothing sound.
Raised Spas
Spas elevated above pool level with stone veneer, glass tile, and sheer descent walls. A dramatic focal point that anchors the pool design.
Infinity-Edge Combinations
Spa and pool share a vanishing edge — the water appears to extend to the horizon. Stunning on elevated or hillside properties.
Therapeutic Features
Adjustable massage jets, multi-depth bench seating, independent heating, and LED lighting — engineered for daily use, not just ambiance.

Custom Spa Questions
Can you integrate a custom spa directly into the pool design?
The spa cutout in the Feinstein pool creates seamless integration between spa and main pool areas. This approach eliminates the visual break of separate vessels while maintaining distinct zones.
The shared filtration system through the CV460 filter and 2.7HP Epump serves both areas efficiently, and the IQ-904-P automation controller manages temperature and cycles for the entire system.
This integration method works particularly well in University Park outdoor living spaces where every square foot matters. The result is one continuous water feature that feels larger and more refined than separate pool and custom spa installations would allow.
How large can you make a custom spa compared to standard?
Standard residential spas typically accommodate 6-7 people, but custom sizing allows for much larger gatherings. The Sharp family’s oversized custom spa measures nearly 14 feet by 5 feet with 571 gallons of capacity, comfortably hosting 14 adults for entertaining or relaxation.
This scale requires 6 massage jets for proper circulation and a dedicated 2 HP blower system. The tiered spillover extends nearly 7 feet across 6 layers, creating dramatic water movement proportional to the spa’s generous size.
How do you connect a spa to the main pool effectively?
The flat spillover creates both visual and hydraulic connection while maintaining the design integrity of each vessel. In the Hammer project, the spa spillover features the same Noble Deco copper lotus tile as the main pool waterline, ensuring the connection feels intentional rather than utilitarian. At six feet in length, the spillover becomes an architectural feature in itself, creating gentle water sound and movement that transforms separate pools into a unified water environment. The matching materials eliminate any visual break in the design.
Can massage jets really make a custom spa therapeutic?
Professional-grade massage jets transform a custom spa from a simple soak into genuine hydrotherapy. The Quillin spa includes targeted jets positioned to address key muscle groups, creating a therapeutic experience that elevates the outdoor living space into a wellness retreat. Combined with the round spa design that promotes natural circulation, bubblers that add gentle aeration, and LED spa lighting that extends enjoyment into evening hours, these jets provide both physical restoration and sensory richness. The Quillin custom spa demonstrates how thoughtful feature integration creates an experience far beyond heated water.
What makes a spa spillway more dramatic than standard jets?
Spa spillways create continuous water movement between an elevated custom spa and the main pool, adding both visual drama and soothing sound throughout the environment. The Golovich custom spa demonstrates how a properly designed spillway becomes a water feature in its own right, connecting the two bodies of water architecturally. The falling water creates natural circulation while the raised position offers commanding views of the entire 33,437-gallon pool below. Combined with LED spa lighting, the spillway transforms the evening experience into something theatrical and immersive for the whole family.
