Installing a luxury swim spa tub requires meeting the following key conditions: • Sufficient space; • Sturdy foundation – with a load-bearing capacity of at least 400 kg/m²; • Sufficient power supply; • Reasonable water inlet and drainage; • Good ventilation and insulation; • Space for maintenance and drainage.
Many users want to "briefly test if the nozzle works properly" after installing a new swim spa tub or cleaning it, but this is extremely dangerous. Dry run testing is not recommended. Even for just a few seconds, the motor bearing temperature can rise by tens of degrees Celsius instantly.
Mixing chlorine and bromine does not simply add up the disinfection effects; rather, it produces a complex chemical reaction. Free chlorine in the water will partially convert to free bromine (HOBr). Chlorine has a fast disinfection speed but a short lifespan, while bromine has high stability but a slow disinfection speed. Mixing chlorine and bromine can lead to unstable disinfectant efficacy.
Most whirlpool spa hot tubs maintain a temperature of around 37°C to 40°C. While this temperature range is ideal for human muscle relaxation, it presents an unfavorable environment for viruses. Many common viruses (such as influenza viruses, coronaviruses, and enteroviruses) are rapidly inactivated in high-temperature environments.
A water temperature of 40°C (approximately 104°F) is close to the upper limit of what the human body can safely tolerate. According to industry standards for hot tubs, most manufacturers recommend a safe water temperature of 38°C to 40°C. Exceeding this range, especially with prolonged soaking, poses potential health risks.
Swim spa hot tubs are inherently energy-intensive devices. If a swim spa hot tub is left on all night, the heater still needs to maintain a constant water temperature (usually between 36°C and 38°C), which means continuous energy consumption.
The standard design load-bearing capacity of residential floors is typically 200–300 kg/m². If the spa jacuzzi tub has a small base area, for example, only 2 square meters, but the total weight reaches 800 kg, then the load-bearing capacity per unit area is as high as 400 kg/m², exceeding the normal safe range.
Many spa hot tub users believe, "I've already added bromine, so I don't need to worry about the water quality anymore," which is a common misconception. In fact, bromine only maintains continuous disinfection, while shocking is a necessary step in periodically "resetting" the water quality.
Testing the pH Level. Refilling a whirlpool spa hot tub may seem like just changing the water, but in reality, the water composition can differ each time it's filled. Tap water, well water, or filtered water have significantly different mineral and carbonate content, all of which directly affect the water's pH balance.
While luxury swim spa tubs possess a certain degree of outdoor weather resistance, not all environments are suitable for exposed installation. Rainproofing is particularly necessary in the following situations: • Long-term open outdoor environments • Rainy or humid areas • Installation on wooden platforms or surfaces prone to water accumulation • Infrequent use
Risk of excessively high water temperature This is the most important safety factor for pregnant women using a luxury swim spa tub. If the water temperature exceeds 38°C, it may cause the pregnant woman's body temperature to rise, blood pressure to fluctuate, and even affect the normal development of the fetus.
The main component of bleach is sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), a strong oxidizing agent commonly used for sterilization, bleaching, and stain removal. While it is effective at eliminating mold and bacteria in a home environment, its use in swim spa hot tub components can pose potential risks.
