IN THE SWIM WITH CERTIKIN SWIM SPAS Certikin’s range of swim spas from Spain’s leading spa manufacturer Iberspa is high on quality and luxury. This new range of swim spas offers a Standard and Deluxe model available in a smart teak cabinet with an integral spa pack or alternatively an in-ground model with a remote spa pack is also available.
The swim spa is 5m long by 2.3m wide with an overall external depth of 1.38m. In the spa section there is a full width lounger on which to recline, plus two sculptured seats at each end of the lounger. The Standard model has 21 jets whereas the Deluxe model has 25 water jets plus air jets to give an all over massage. Both swim spas have five turbo jets to provide a counter flow swim trainer. In terms of filtration the Standard swim spa has a 100 sq ft cartridge filter, the Deluxe has a 200 sq ft cartridge filter, and the in-ground model comes with a pack including a 500mm diameter hi-rate sand filter. Heating for both Standard and Deluxe models is by a 3kW electric heater.
Another Certikin ticket for total relaxation is the Riviera Modena swim spa which is the perfect solution for those looking to get fit and have some fun at the same time and caters for the total body workout and is extremely economic in terms of heat and space.
ARTESIAN GET TIDAL FIT!
Artesian Spas are once again celebrating their success with the “TidalFit Exercise Pool”. They have been awarded the top 10 swim spas award by
poolandspa.com, not only for its innovative design but also for the superior performance and quality of the exercise it delivers. With demand for the TidalFit increasing, Artesian Spas decided to go one step further and are proud to introduce the semi in-ground TidalFit exercise pool, which is new for 2011. This is the only exercise pool in the industry that has waterproof hardy board to half its height with

additional bracing to allow in-ground backfilling. The internal pump system has been raised for easy access when servicing.
Both the in-ground and original TidalFit models can be personalised to the specific needs of the customer. Dave Edwards, Business Development Manager stated: “Artesian Spas noticed a gap in the market for an exercise pool that could meet the individual customer needs and requirements and as a result, they created the TidalFit. This is unique and as it now comes with an in-ground option, it will certainly assist our dealers increase sales in the swim spa market.”
All TidalFit models have carbon fibre decorative strips presenting a stylish exterior. Internally, the TidalFit comes with a choice of either the Badu jet system or a high performance quad jet system with patented Variable Flow Control which allows the water current strength to be adjusted to meet the swimmer’s requirements. This provides an effect akin to a dimmer switch rather than a high or low option as with traditional swim spas. The TidalFit can incorporate a front grab rail to encourage first time swimmers and can be upgraded to include other unique innovations expected in an Artesian Spa.
