"The best investment I've ever made was purchasing a Vortex™ Spa"Ronny Mushoul – Sydney
In today’s fast-paced world, finding time to relax and unwind is essential. That’s exactly what Ronny, a busy accountant and part-time food blogger from Sydney, discovered when he decided to invest in a Vortex Mercury Spa from Spa World Sydney.
Instead of spending thousands on a short-lived getaway, he chose a spa that provides daily relaxation, stress relief, and quality time with his wife—right in his own backyard.
In this article, we’ll explore:
Whether you’re looking for relaxation, better sleep, or a way to make the most of your outdoor space, this guide will help you find the perfect spa for your needs.
Ronny Mushoul, like many of us, juggles multiple responsibilities. With a demanding job and a passion for food blogging, he realised that relaxation wasn’t just a luxury—it was a necessity.
“Why are we working so hard if we don’t take time to relax? You need to enjoy life, and a spa is a great way to do that,” Ronny says.
His wife, who works long hours at her own job, also needed a way to unwind.
“My wife is always on the computer working late into the night. She barely gets time to switch off. Now, she jumps in the spa a few times a week, and I can see the difference in how relaxed she feels.”
Living in Sydney’s western suburbs, where pools and beaches aren’t always easily accessible, Ronny found that installing a spa was the perfect solution. After thorough research, he chose a Vortex Mercury Spa from Spa World’s Sydney showroom—an investment he now calls “the best I’ve ever made.”
For Ronny, purchasing a spa was about long-term value.
“I could have spent $2,000 on a trip to Thailand, but that’s just one week of relaxation. Instead, I put that money towards a spa, and now I get to enjoy it every single day.”
Price is a major consideration when purchasing a spa, and Ronny found that his investment was well worth it. Spa prices can vary widely depending on size, features, and build quality.
At Spa World, entry-level spas start from around $5,000, while premium models with advanced hydrotherapy features can cost $20,000 or more.
The Vortex Mercury Spa, which Ronny purchased, sits in the mid-range but offers exceptional value with its powerful jets, ergonomic seating, and energy-efficient design.
“When you break it down, the cost of a good spa is like a long-term investment in your well-being. Instead of spending money on short-term getaways, I now have a place to relax every day,” says Ronny.
One concern many people have when purchasing a spa is the installation process. However, Ronny found the experience with Spa World to be smooth and hassle-free.
“The team at Spa World made everything so easy. They guided me on where to place the spa, how much space I needed, and even gave me advice on setting up the electrical connections," he says.
"When the spa arrived, the delivery guys were so professional—they had it in place in no time!"
A spa is an investment, and maintenance is an important factor in ensuring longevity and performance. Fortunately, Ronny has found his Vortex Mercury Spa to be easy to maintain.
“I was worried about having to constantly clean and check the water balance, but honestly, it’s been way easier than I expected. The spa’s built-in filtration system does most of the work, and Spa World gave me all the tips I needed to keep it running smoothly.”
Here are a few key maintenance tips Spa World recommends:
