Top Features of Swim Spas

Alongside the surge in popularity of swim spas, technology has also grown, becoming highly advanced, creating a truly unique swimming experience that can be perfectly tailored to your needs.

While all swim spas provide a stationary swimming environment, each brand offers exclusive features to create an experience only found in their spas.

Before we get into four stunning small swim spas, let’s talk about some of the premium features offered by the two brands we’re exploring in this article; Hydropool and Bullfrog®️ Spas.

Hydropool

This brand quickly became a leader in the industry, with advanced technology that challenged the status quo to create a premium swim spa experience.

With a host of patented technology and design elements, Hydropool swim spas offer ample benefits that are hard to beat!

V-Twin Swim Jets

When it comes to Hydropool swim spas, the V-Twin Jets are responsible for the powerful yet predictable current you experience.

These jets create a spinning vortex of water within the pipe itself, producing a current of water that’s incredibly smooth as it flows into the spa.

This design has allowed Hydropool swim spas to provide a current with the highest volume of water in the industry, leading to a wide range of current speeds to meet you precisely where you are!

Self-Cleaning Technology

With a mix of vacuums and filters, Hydropool has outfitted a number of their swim spas with self-cleaning technology, taking the work out of caring for your water.

This system cleans every drop of the water in the swim spa every 40 minutes, ensuring crystal-clear water welcomes you each time you peel back the cover, all while keeping maintenance to a minimum!

HydroWise Energy Efficient Insulation

Did you know Hydropool swim spas were designed to effortlessly withstand the frigid Canadian winters?

This innovative insulation has made these swim spas some of the most energy-efficient in the world, keeping water toasty warm without long run times, even on the coldest days of the year!

While our balmy Californian weather may not reach the frozen temperatures found across Canada, this insulation still means exceptional savings year-round!

Bullfrog®️ Spas

If you’re looking for a truly personalized experience, Bullfrog®️ Spas has you covered.

This brand has made a name for itself with patented technology that’s one of a kind, truly unmatched across the industry when it comes to the flexibility of hydrotherapy.

JetPak Therapy System™️

Responsible for this flexibility is the JetPak Therapy System™️. This technology was designed with customization in mind, ensuring your spa can effortlessly match your ever-changing needs.

These JetPaks contain clusters of powerful hydrotherapy jets, completely detached from the spa itself, making it possible to switch one JetPak out for another.

Not only does this design reduce the risk of jet issues down the line, but it also provides premium energy efficiency without compromising the quality of your hydromassage.

This technology has truly made their spas completely customizable, with 16 different variations, ensuring everyone in your spa can enjoy a tailored massage each time they step into the water.

Clear Comfort Water Care System

Maintenance is a common concern among many people when they begin exploring swim spas, and Bullfrog®️ Spas has taken this concern and washed it away!

With the advanced oxidization process found in their Clear Comfort system, your water will be kept clean and clear with far less work than standard swim spas.

This award-winning system has truly taken the work out of water care, operating automatically, so you can spend less time treating your water and more time enjoying it.

EnduraFrame™️ Construction

In yet another industry-changing move, Bullfrog®️ Spas has become the leader in 100% wood-free spa construction, with their patented EnduraFrame™️.

This sturdy molded ABS spa frame doesn’t include any metal or wood, making it durable and long-lasting, effortlessly combating corrosion and rot.
