American Whirlpool pump
Pump 1: 56 Frame 2-Speed 6bHp, 240VAmerican Whirlpool is the first fully-electronic hot tub, including the pumps, which prolongs overall life of the spa.
DuraMAAXâ„¢ Cabinetry
DuraMAAX™ CabinetryDuraMAAx® is a state of the art wood-alternative material that has the look and feel of natural wood, without the maintenance. The material is impact resistant, impervious to weather or insect damage and will never splinter, crack, or rot. The attractive exterior locks in heat and seals out cold air providing a beautiful look and feel.
Frozen ice
Freeze Protection SystemIf the temperature sensors within the heater detect a low enough temperature, then the spa control system will automatically activate the pumps to provide freeze protection. Moving water is unable to freeze, so the system will either run the pumps continuously or periodically depending on conditions.
Temperature gauge showing overheating
Overheat Protection SystemWhen sensing a water temperature above 108°F (42°C), the system will automatically shut down the heater until the temperature falls below 108°F (42°C). Once below 108°F (42°C), the system will resume normal operation.
