Zone Therapy™ Seat

Zone Therapy™ Seat

Physician-Designed Zone Therapy® utilizes strategically positioned jets to target pain trigger points for a more effective massage experience.

Comfort Collar™

Comfort Collar™

A neck massage therapy system is one of the most relaxing features in a spa. The molded Comfort Collar’s unique cushion supports your neck and aligns your spine, while the jets massage neck and shoulder muscles.

Foot Relief Zone™

Foot Relief Zone™

Sore and tired feet can affect how we feel all over. The ingenious Foot Relief Zone® targets the upper and lower parts of the feet with streams of water that provide a complete massage for relaxation throughout the body.

Steel Sub-Structure

Steel Sub-Structure

American Whirlpool hot tubs are the world’s first steel frame Appliance Grade® hot tub. The steel frame provides greater structural integrity than wood, as well as superior corrosion protection for a much longer life. Unlike wood, it will never rot, warp, or crack.

Northern Exposure® Insulation System

Northern Exposure® Insulation System

This patented thermal barrier recycles free heat energy for more efficient heating and lower energy costs. It combines the recycled natural fiber and copper lining of BlueMAAX® with 3M Thinsulate™ insulation, the same material used in winter clothing. This three-layer system ensures that energy created by the spa stays in the spa.

Pump 1: 56 Frame 2-Speed 3.0Hp/6.0bHp, 240V, 2Sp

Pump 1: 56 Frame 2-Speed 3.0Hp/6.0bHp, 240V, 2Sp

American Whirlpool is the first fully-electronic hot tub, including the pumps, which prolongs overall life of the spa.

Pump 2: 56 Frame 2-Speed 3.0Hp/6.0bHp, 240V, 2Sp

Pump 2: 56 Frame 2-Speed 3.0Hp/6.0bHp, 240V, 2Sp

American Whirlpool is the first fully-electronic hot tub, including the pumps, which prolongs overall life of the spa.

DuraMAAX™ Cabinetry

DuraMAAX™ Cabinetry

DuraMAAx® 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.

ABS Sealed Bottom Pan

ABS Sealed Bottom Pan

The ABS Sealed Base is an integral part of the support structure in an AMERICAN WHIRLPOOL® hot tub. Its one-piece construction provides a rugged foundation that seals the bottom of the spa, locking in heat and sealing out moisture.

Freeze/Overheat Protection System

Freeze Protection System

If 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.

Freeze Protection System

When 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.

Molded Grab Bar

Molded Grab Bar

Molded grab bars provide an easy handle to pull yourself up out of a deep spa seat.

Programmable Filter Cycles

Programmable Filter Cycles

Programmable filter cycles allow spa users to designate when it is most convenient for the spa to clean itself and can utilize their system for an extra clean spa before guests arrive.

AeroMAAX™ Plus (Blower)

AeroMAAX™ Plus (Blower)

AeroMAAX™ uses air to stimulate blood flow over the entire body to help remove toxins.

3.5″ LED Underwater Spa Light

The illuminated spa controls work in harmony with the other lighting options to provide an ergonomic grip and consistency of mood with even the smallest details.

Illuminated Drink Holders

Illuminated Drink Holders

The illuminated drink holders turn even water into a visual piece of art that makes every evening special.

New Gecko Control Pack

New Gecko Control Pack

in.k1000
400+/Swim Spa Series Gecko in.k1000 Controls

The Gecko in.k1000 is a user-friendly spa controller. Change the temperature from the easy-to-read home screen and use the Mode Selection Wheel or Direct Function Selection Wheel to access any other spa feature. Messages and reminders will display at the bottom of the screen so you can stay up to date on your spa’s operating condition. The control panel combined with the Gecko power pack can be controlled by the Gecko in.touch2 app on your phone, giving you peace of mind even when you’re away from home.

CleanZone® System

CleanZone® System

The CleanZone® water purification system generates ozone to maintain healthy, crystal clear water while greatly reducing chemical maintenance.

CleanZone® Ultra Dual Sanitization System

CleanZone® Ultra Dual Sanitization System

The CleanZone ® Ultra system uses the power of UVC light, the same technology utilized in many communities around the world to purify drinking water. CleanZone® Ultra kills 99.99% of micro-organisms, bacteria, viruses, and parasites. This system is the perfect blend of hygiene, purity, and technology.

Bluetooth Music System

Bluetooth Music System

Use any Bluetooth compatible device and sync to two fully integrated speakers that provide crisp clear sound for your listening enjoyment. The subwoofer is a part of the spa structure, so you will not only hear the music, you’ll feel it.

Head Cushions

Head Cushions

American Whirlpool head cushions cradle your head while enjoy your massage, offering another element of relaxation.

X-Series Collar

X-Series Collar

The convenient X-series option replaces the Comfort Collar® and increases the space in the deep corner seat for physical freedom of movement and enhanced comfort for those who need it.

Lounge

Lounge

Lounge seats provide a reclined seating option with a head cushion and varying jet to promote complete relaxation.

Shiatsu Massage Seat

Shiatsu Massage Seat

True to shiatsu style, this seat utilizes smaller, precise jets to apply targeted pressure on the tops of the shoulders and down the sides of the spine.

Pedestal Lights

Pedestal Lights

Pedestal lights illuminate the outer base of the hot tub with the same color lit inside the spa to create a relaxing ambience in your backyard.

Status Indicator Light

Status Indicator Light

The status indicator light mirrors the status color on the control panel, so the status of your spa is visible from outside the hot tub.
