Hot water for this spa comes from neighboring geothermal power plant and it is changed every two days. Yes, this place is artificial, man-made spa but it is still amazing. Hot water is pumped up from deeps and after it is used to generate some electricity in power plant, it is lead to the spa. This might sound pretty risky place to bath but you do not have a reason to be worried. The water is perfectly clear and the hygiene rules are pretty strict here.
