been a steady and consistent move forward. Better manufacturing and better materials were the starting point. Market research showed what the consumer was looking for to take the hassle out of hot tub ownership and that is where cost control through heaters and insulation, lighting systems, ideas of re-using the heat generated by the pump and motors within the spa itself, equipment and accessory items all came to the fore.
The benefits for the hot tub buyer keep coming through innovation.
Artesian Spas now offers its customers a new mixing chamber which dramatically reduces the need for chlorine. Instead of injecting ozone directly into the spa, as a standard ozonator does, it’s ProPure mixing chamber produces high output ozone in a separate chamber, which isolates the spa water and ozone together. This mixing chamber more efficiently destroys bacteria that may be present in the water. The ozone-

purified water is then recycled back into the spa. This continuous cycle gradually brings all spa water through the mixing chamber for purification. This process greatly reduces the possibility of corrosion to the spa cover and pillows caused by standard ozone. It also dramatically reduces the need for standard sanitisers such as chlorine.
When the ProPure mixing chamber is used in conjunction with Artesian Nature2 technology, the spa water exceeds the EPA’s standards for bottled drinking water.
Cheshire based Sundance Spas is proud of its new MicroClean Plus™ Filtration System which is available on some of its selected 800 Series spas. Sundance believes it surpasses all others for ensuring pure, clear water with low maintenance, cost-saving energy efficiency and lower chemical usage. It works with the Dynamic Flow Circulation System and the Sentry Smart Heater to purify and heat the water continuously. Most models are ready for ozone installation, which maximises water purity and reduces the need to drain and refill your spa as often.
“Sundance Spas water filtration technology dramatically improves water quality while reducing chemical usage and maintenance,” the company adds. Its energy efficiency guide includes full foam insulation, insulating covers as a standard and a three
layer shell construction which it says adds thermal ‘integrity’ to the whole spa.
Sundance offers a 10 year warranty on its shell spa and seven years on shell surface and five years on equipment, controls and plumbing components. Self cleaning systems are a big theme for Hydropool Hot Tubs who have also started to roll out new floor suction and filter systems and new designed head rests in its range of hot tubs. Hydropool make the point that they see being able to tailor the hot tub very specifically to a customer’s needs as a key selling point. The company has successfully promoted self cleaning hot tubs that clean all of the water in the tub every 15 minutes.
On the energy saving technology a ‘double thermal shield insulation’ system that meets the stringent standards of the California Energy Commission, makes the hot tubs, they claim, one of the most energy-efficient in the world. Canadian Spas have seen clever and innovative use of technology establish a strong market share for their business and make their customers lives easier. Quality and performance is backed by the finest materials and components; these include quadruple layer shells, top-of-the-line Balboa digital control systems, and handmade grade ‘A’ Canadian cedar accessories and cabinets. The changing market has led to a change in approach to accessories and enhancements. Marquis Spas has put much of its focus on the therapeutic benefits of hot tubs.
