Manifold Plumbing System
No blue glue on manifold
to jet connections
equal water pressure at
every jet |
Our manifold plumbing
system is an engineering marvel. All of the water comes
from the pump(s) and goes through the manifold(s) under
equal water pressure to each and every jet. We use
flexible hose and tension clamps instead of rigid
tubing and blue glue for all of the manifold to jet
connections. This makes field repair of Jets and
manifolds a breeze. |
Others use standard
plumbing where the jets are set in series and this may
result in unequal water pressure at the jets. All of
the water is coming from the pump and then goes from
one jet to the other until it gets to the last jet. The
connections are typically made from rigid PVC and blue
glue and due to fluctuation in water pressure there are
many leak failures in this system. |
|
Motors |
Superior strength
Full size 56 Frame
|
We use superior motors in
our spas. Our 56 frame motors move more water with
ease. We believe that our engineering, incorporating
larger motors, allow for better economy because the
larger motor does not need to work as hard and will
last much longer compared to utilizing a lot of smaller
weaker pumps. |
Putting a lot of motors on
a spa may look great in a specification sheet but when
you get your electric or repair bill you may not be so
happy. Companies that use small motors have more
returns and they can be avoided by matching the right
motor to the job. |
|
Pumps |
High water Volume
Maximum duty pumps on
vibration free motor mounts |
Our pumps produce high
water volume at a lower pressure for a soothing, deep
penetrating massage. Our pumps have a two-inch wet end
and sweep ninety-degree turns for more water velocity
and whisper quiet water delivery. All pumps are on
rubberized motor mounts and bolt directly onto our
Stay-Tuff spa base for vibration free operation.
|
One and a half inch PVC
tubing and old fashioned plumbing routes will get you
less water delivery to the jets. The pump is the heart
of the spa so it is important to choose a pump mounted
on a rubberized motor mount and not simply screwed into
the wood floor of a spa. |
|
Jets |
Interchangeable Turn on and
off
Total water control
A wide variety of
therapy zones |
Our interchangeable jet
system allows you to control the flow of water pressure
and the type of massage you will get at each and every
seating area in the spa. This is a fantastic way to get
the therapy that you need and refresh your Spabing
experience. |
Fixed high pressure jets
may give you a stinging and itching type of massage and
may not penetrate deep enough to allow you to get the
relief you need. Avoid spas that have a large number of
fixed jets so that you can change jets in your spa as
your therapy needs change. |
|
Heating & Insulation |
Arctic Heat™, Co-Generated
heating system
Not full foam
Does not vent the warm
air out. Uses the warm air to heat the water and power
the jets
Best for use in extreme
Hot or Cold Climates |
The Hydro Spa Arctic Heat™,
tm system utilizes a reflective thermal barrier that is
attached to the entire perimeter of the spa. Structural
insulation covers the floor of the spa and supports the
two inch pump tubing and shell base. All of the heat
generated from the pump(s) during filtration and use is
captured in the cabinet and used to power the jets and
passively heat the water. Our system is up to 60% more
efficient than full foam. |
Full foam spas take in cold
air from outside of the spa through the heat vent and
introduce it into the water thereby reducing your water
temperature and creating discomfort. The heat generated
by the pump is vented to the outside and lost. Avoid
Full foam spas they may cost more to operate and
repair. |
|
Spa Structural Support
System |
Full Frame Support No weak spots
What supports the water
and people?
|
A spa full of water and
people can weigh as much as 8000 lbs. Hydro Spa
utilizes a network of supports molded into the
Stay-Tuff™, spa base to provide the structural
integrity that is required to make our spa system
support the shell for the life of the spa. Since this
is a uni-body style construction you get the benefit of
knowing that a Hydro Spa will stand the test of time.
|
If your spa has a wooden
support system it may not stand the test of time. If
internal supports go from the base of the seating area
down to the bottom of the spa they could become prone
to insect damage or rot.Full foam spas rely heavily on
wood supports as a framework before they fill the
entire cabinet inside with foam. |
|
Cabinet |
Ever-Panel™, Maintenance
free
Premium Redwood
Beautiful natural wood
|
Hydro Spa Ever-Panel™, is a
very real looking maintenance free cabinet system. It
is available in different colors and will match you
décor perfectly. Ever-Panel™, has a lifetime warranty
and will never need to be replaced. If you prefer
natural wood our Premium Redwood will give you years of
dependable service with a minimum of care. |
Wooden
cabinets need regular maintenance. If you want a wood
cabinet be prepared to re-stain at least once or twice
a year according to you your location. There are many
types of synthetic materials available in the
marketplace, look for a material that resists fading
and has a realistic appearance. |
|
Maintenance |
Open Cabinet System
Easy of access
Fast repairs |
All of our spas are
designed with removable sidewall cabinets for maximum
accessibility on all four sides. This makes maintenance
and service easy and will save you lots of money as you
enjoy your spa. |
Full foam and foam core
(foam with a hollow center) spas are very expensive to
maintain. When you get a leak you may have to spend
thousands to detect and repair the leak. During
operation foam spas are a great place for rodents,
insects and snakes to live. Avoid potential dangers and
avoid full foam spas. |
|
Spa Bottom |
Stay-Tuff™, Spa Pedestal
Base
No wood to rot out
Snakes, Rodents and
Insects cannot nest in your spa
Easy to move
No odors from the bottom
of the spa |
The Stay-Tuff™, Spa
Pedestal Base is produced from a thick sheet of black
ABS and has support columns built into it to support
the weight of the water and people in the spa. Since
the entire base is a sealed unit it cannot rot out. We
put in forklift molds and aeration ports to keep the
bottom of the spa dry and odor free. We offer a
lifetime warranty on the Stay-Tuff™, Base.
|
Having a strong base is
fundamental for spa longevity. Many spas are produced
without any bottom at all and will be very costly to
operate because they cannot trap heat. If your budget
allows choose a spa with a pressure treated or Plastic
molded base. Spas with a foam bottom are an ideal place
for insect and rodent infestation. |
|
Electronic Control System |
Quality Controllers
Custom built electronics
Built in safety features
and economy modes of operation |
Hydro Spa utilizes the best
controller manufacturers in the world to create custom
spa packs and topside controls to complement our spa
models. These user-friendly intuitive controls take the
guesswork out of spa ownership and are designed for a
lifetime of use in harsh climates. |
Avoid spas with air
controls or spas that do not display the Spa
temperature as a digital read out. Many spas are
produced cheaply by using an inferior quality spa
electronic pack. Unknown brand names or imported packs
may not stand the test of time and may be very hard to
replace if they break down. |
|
Spa cover |
ASTM locking Safety Cover
Tapered locking cover |
Hydro Spa has created a
Locking safety cover that has a 5” x 3” taper. This
allows water to run off and snow to pile up without the
fear of collapse. The cover is made from marine grade
UV resistant vinyl and double stitching for durability.
It can hold the weight of 275 lbs without collapsing
and provides a maximum degree of safety with safety
locks on both sides of unit. |
Always select a ASTM manual
locking safety cover to ensure the safety of you and
your family. There are a lot of flimsy spa covers in
the market. The cover is where you will loose most of
the heat from the spa water. Invest in a quality cover
with marine grade fabric. Many spas are sent out with
inferior covers that do not last and cost you money in
lack of efficiency. |
|
Water Management |
Hydro-Pure™,
Ease of use
Avoid harsh corrosive
chemicals for a healthier Spabing experience |
Hydro Spa offers a wide
variety of water purification methods to suit your
individual hydrotherapy and bather load needs. Our
premier Hydro-Pure™, system incorporates a silent
sentry 24-hour circulation system with ozone and
mineral purification. Our Hydro Pure™, system will make
using your Hydro Spa easy and odor free. No more harsh
sanitizing chemicals or offensive odors. |
Chlorine may not be the
best choice for your water management needs. Many spa
manufacturers confuse water purification with
filtration and have a multitude of filters in the spa
that will need to be replaced every year at a high
cost. Check on the cost of replacement filters and how
many there are before you invest in a spa. |
