A pool and spa combo pairs an attached spa with a new gunite pool so the two share a design, a deck, and often the same equipment pad. The spa can sit raised above the pool with a spillover, or flush at deck level, and either gas or heat pump heating keeps it usable through a Jacksonville winter. Building the spa with the pool instead of adding it later typically adds $18,000 to $35,000 to a 2026 project.

Raised or flush: which spa style fits your backyard?

A raised spa sits above the pool deck, usually 18 to 24 inches, with a wall you can see and a spillover edge where water falls into the pool below. It reads as a distinct feature and works well as a focal point near a lanai or outdoor kitchen area.

A flush spa sits at deck level, separated from the pool by a low wall or a short run of steps, with a quieter, more integrated look. It generally costs less to build than a raised spa because it needs less structural wall, though it gives up the visual spillover effect.

What is a spillover, and does every spa need one?

A spillover is the edge where spa water flows continuously or on demand into the pool, usually across a smooth weir or a row of scuppers. It adds a moving-water feature and helps mix spa and pool water, but it is optional. A flush spa or a raised spa with a separate return line can skip the spillover and rely on jets alone.

Should the spa share equipment with the pool, or run separately?

A shared equipment pad uses one filter and one set of plumbing valves to direct flow to either body of water, which costs less to install and takes less pad space. A separate spa system, with its own pump and dedicated heater, heats and treats the smaller spa volume faster and lets you run the spa without the pool pump cycling at the same time.

Most homeowners in this market choose a shared pad with valves that isolate the spa for heating, which balances cost against the convenience of a fast, independent spa.

Gas heater or heat pump: which works better in Jacksonville?

A heat pump pulls warmth from outside air and is the more efficient choice to run for most of the year, since Jacksonville stays mild enough for a heat pump to work well on the large majority of days. Its output drops once outside air falls into the 50s, which happens on relatively few days here but does slow spa heating in winter.

A gas heater burns propane or natural gas and can bring a spa from cold to hot in well under an hour, which matters if you want to use the spa the same evening you decide to. Many combo projects install both: a heat pump to carry the pool through most of the year, and a gas heater sized for fast spa heat-up.

What do jets, blowers, and automation add to a spa?

Hydrotherapy jets circulate water at higher pressure through a dedicated pump, and an air blower adds a bubble effect through separate ports in the spa floor or wall. Both are optional but common upgrades on a new spa build. App-based automation lets you start the spa heater, turn on jets, and set LED lighting from your phone before you walk outside, which is popular given how often a spa gets used on short notice.

Do you need a permit for the gas line to a spa heater?

Yes. A gas heater needs a gas sub-permit in addition to the building and electrical permits for the pool and spa, and the line has to be sized, run, and pressure tested by a licensed professional before the building department will approve it. We coordinate the gas permit with the rest of the pool permitting so inspections happen in the right order.

How much does a pool and spa combo cost in Jacksonville?

These are 2026 estimates for the Jacksonville area. Adding a spa to a new gunite pool typically runs $18,000 to $35,000, depending on raised or flush construction, spillover length, and jet count. A heater, gas or heat pump, adds $5,000 to $10,000 installed, and many combo projects install both types for year-round flexibility.
