Benefits & What Makes It Different
Dual-Pump Hydrotherapy
Driven by one dual-speed and one single-speed pump rated at 2.5HP continuous duty and 4.0HP breakdown torque for thorough jet coverage.
Full Foam Insulation
Encapsulates interior plumbing to curb heat loss, deaden vibration noise, and protect internal lines during colder months.
Built-In Ozone Sanitation
Continuously introduces ozone to oxidize organic matter on contact, reducing chemical sanitizer consumption over time.
Compatibility
- Requires a dedicated 230v, 50A or 60A GFCI hardwired electrical circuit
- Compatible with traditional spa chlorine, bromine, or mineral sanitation systems alongside the factory ozone unit
- Requires a flat, level concrete pad or engineered spa base rated for filled spa weight
When To Use This
Pro Tip
Always refill the spa by placing your hose directly down into the filter canister; this floods the plumbing lines first and prevents dry air locks in the 2.5HP pump impellers on startup.
