    Theme of episode 16: “Well-Designed Spas – Made in Europe”

    In this episode, we sit down with Artur Deu, General Manager of Aquavia Spa, to explore what defines well-designed spas made in Europe. From the company’s heritage to the question “Why a spa?”, we dive into how design, engineering, and quality standards come together to create a true wellness product. We discuss built-in vs. freestanding solutions, materials built for extreme temperatures, and the realities of water treatment, durability, and maintenance. We also explore key technologies – pumps, alternative heating like solar, and the role of spa covers – before turning to what has changed the most over the years. At the heart of the episode is a powerful story: how a major fire became a defining moment for the company, bringing the team closer together and reshaping its future.
