Swim spa accessories

Accessories for swim spas

On a swim spa accessories carry more weight than on a hot tub, because the water volumes are far greater and every choice is multiplied by the number of litres. The 26 products in the range cover heat management, meaning covers and cover lifts which at these surface areas have a large effect on running costs, water treatment, access to the tub and control components.

Why the cover matters more here than anywhere else

Heat loss happens largely at the water surface, and a swimming tub has a surface many times larger than a hot tub. At these volumes the thermal cover is not an accessory but part of the installation: without one, the cost of holding temperature rises in a way that shows on the bill. The cover lift then becomes necessary in turn, because a cover of that size cannot be moved by hand and, if it is awkward, it does not get used.

Filtration sized to the volume

The treatment system has to be matched to the actual litres and to how often the spa is used: what suffices for a four-metre tub is undersized on a six-metre one, and an undersized system means water that struggles to stay clear however much product is added. If the spa is used by several people or in a commercial setting, it is worth checking the sizing before buying consumables.

Frequently asked questions about swim spa accessories

Is the cover made to measure? Yes, it depends on the model: dimensions and shape must match the tub for the insulation to work.

Is a heat pump needed? At large water volumes it is often the most efficient way of holding temperature. It should be assessed together with the water volume and the intended use.

Can accessories be added later? Most of them yes. Some system components are better specified at design stage, because retrofitting them means work in the plant room.
