Until recently, swimming pools were considered new to the spa industry. Now swim-spa models have a strong position in the market, are in stable demand – and all thanks to the successful idea of combining spa and fitness in a hydro massage pool.
Powerful Counter flow, the strength and speed of which can be adjusted based on the user’s athletic training, allows you to swim in the pool non-stop for as long as you need.
These pools are suitable for teaching swimming, as well as for water strength training, and even for a variety of types of aqua fitness. Models consisting of two zones are in great demand – for hydro massage and for sports.
The two sectors of the pool are separated by a partition, which allows you to set different temperature regimes in both parts. There are also models of swimming spas.
The Swim Spa is the perfect solution for the perfectionist who wants to get it all at once. The advantages of a swimming spa are obvious: no major preparatory work is required to install it, it can be installed in a few hours and can be used all year round.
Problem of choice
Today it is easy to get lost in the variety of models, so even the amount that is supposed to be spent on a future spa cannot be considered the only determining factor.
What to look for when choosing a home spa pool? First of all, you need to decide on its purpose: will it be just a hydro massage pool or a swim spa? After that, you need to choose a place for its placement, and thus understand what size the pool should be.
In addition to the variety of nozzles, you need to pay attention to how the water filtration system in the spa works: it is preferable if the model is equipped with a circulation pump for non-stop pumping of water.
The quality of water treatment also depends on this: all chlorine-free methods of water disinfection (ozone, ultraviolet).
It is necessary to take into account the fact that the power consumption of a model is always associated with the quality of its thermal insulation. This also needs to be paid attention to in the selection process.
The best location for the bottom drain is at the bottom of the pool, otherwise each time you change the water, and you will have to manually scoop out at least 30 litres.
It is very important to “try on” the pool for yourself: when we choose a sofa or a bed, we always check how convenient it will be to use them. The service of a trial hydro massage session is provided by reputable and reliable companies.
By the way, you should only buy a spa from such sellers. It makes sense to find out whether the company has been on the market for a long time, what guarantees and what service it provides, whether spare parts for repair are available.
The global spa pool market is developing rapidly, new manufacturing companies appear regularly, but sometimes they also quickly disappear, and a client who is flattered by a price lower than that of a well-known brand is left without service and technical support if necessary.
