SWIM SPAS
A swim spa is a hybrid between a swimming pool and a hot tub. It typically consists of a large tub with powerful jets at one end that create a current strong enough for swimming against. Swim spas also often include seating areas with hydrotherapy jets similar to those found in hot tubs. They provide the benefits of both swimming for exercise and relaxation through hydrotherapy. Additionally, swim spas are more space-efficient than traditional swimming pools, making them suitable for smaller yards or indoor installations.
A swim spa setup typically includes the following components:
Swim spa vessel: This is the main structure, similar to a large tub, where users can swim against a current created by powerful jets.
Current system: Powerful jets are installed at one end of the swim spa to create a current for swimming against. The strength and speed of the current can usually be adjusted to accommodate different skill levels and swimming preferences.
Seating area: Many swim spas also feature seating areas equipped with hydrotherapy jets for relaxation and massage purposes. These seats are often positioned away from the current system.
Heater: A heater is used to warm the water in the swim spa to a comfortable temperature for swimming and relaxation, typically between 80-90°F (27-32°C).
Filtration system: Just like in a hot tub, a swim spa is equipped with a filtration system to remove debris and contaminants from the water, ensuring it remains clean and safe for use.
Control panel: A control panel allows users to adjust the temperature, current strength, and other settings of the swim spa.
Cover: A cover is used to retain heat when the swim spa is not in use and to keep debris out of the water.
Electrical connection: Swim spas require a dedicated electrical connection to power the heater, pump, jets, and other components.
Overall, a swim spa offers a versatile setup that combines the benefits of swimming for exercise with the relaxation and hydrotherapy features of a traditional hot tub.
