Riptide - Hydros Swim Spa
Number of Adults: 6
Dimensions:
3.85m x 2.20m x 1.17m
The Hydros swimspa is our new baby pool and spa combined. This is definitely not an entry level spa - it is a fully functioning, incredibly well specified swim spa. The only difference is its proportions.
The Hydros has been designed for the family with young children. It's been created to allow the kids to splash about at the jets end whilst leaving plenty of space between the kids and the adults relaxing in the spa end.
The Hydros has 4 powerful pumps that can either be directed to the swim jets or diverted to the spa end or adjusted half and half.
We find most of our Hydros owners run the pool hot like a hot tub and use the spa end 70% against the pool end 30% The Hydros is the perfect pool for your youngsters to learn to swim in. Because of its compact dimensions it's still possible to deliver just like a hot tub. It will sit virtually on the same space as a hot tub, but has such a versatile nature you're going to find it everything from that special place to relax, a great place to swim; even the oldies will love the weightless exercising walking against the fully adjustable counter currents. At this price this is a huge amount of fun for your money.
Hercules™ Thermosteel Cover Upgrade
If you're considering sinking or semi-sinking your Riptide pool, you may wish to consider upgrading to the new Hercules™ Thermosteel cover. The cover has a stainless steel ladder frame, inserted into the oversized polystyrene core, to give the cover additional strength and heat-retentive properties. The cover increases from 70mm to 90mm thick, helping it to withstand weights of up to 300kg - this means it will easily handle family members walking across the surface of the swim spa when covered. Hercules covers are 7cm on one side, and 9cm on the other, which helps rainwater run off, rather than letting it puddle on the cover or seep through into the spa.
The Hydros comes equipped with a relaxing, backlit waterfall, which is controllable independently of the jets and counter-current.

The folding, two piece cover which comes complete with the Hydros is secured with childproof, adjustable, lockable straps along all four sides.
To enhance your spa experience, the Hydros includes an aromatherapy system, which takes cartridges featuring a variety of scents, including Sandalwood Spice, Summer Orchid, Lavender, Evening Musk, Wildflowers, Peach Passion, Pina Colada, Citrus Sorbet and Eucalyptus.
The Hydros features a two pump, four jet counter-current system, with each pair of jets sharing a powerful pump. The lowermost pair of jets are specifically designed to give the swimmer buoyancy. All the jets in the spa have stainless steel escutcheons, and have air control.
Optional Music System
A worthwhile investment would be to include the iPod dock and swim spa music system. The system includes four, hydraulic popup speakers (pictured right) and an integrated, waterproof iPod dock. Also fitted to the spa frame is a substantial sub-woofer, which helps bring your music to life, and provides excellent sound levels which should even be suitable for a garden party.
Each Riptide Swim Spa is supplied complete with pillows to match the shell and skirt combination selected, helping to provide comfortable seating for bathers at the spa end.
The weatherproof, UV stable exterior panelling is designed with both vertical and horizontal slats, to make a more interesting cabinet. The panels are attached using stainless steel fittings, and each cabinet is complimented by the inclusion of a contrasting heavy-duty vinyl cover.

Easy to Maintain Filters
The Hydros is fitted with a 100 square foot, top-loading filter system and integrated weir, which captures larger floating debris before it reaches the filter itself. Unlike many spas on the market, Riptide filter housings are simple to take apart for cleaning, and to remove the filters for their regular maintenance and replacement.
Stainless Support Rails
A single stainless steel support rail is supplied as standard, above the jets, on all Swim Spas except Nautilus and Atlantis. To provide additional support for aerobic exercise in your pool, you may wish to add extra rails, which may be fitted to the left or right side. In the case of the Atlantis and Nautilus pools, we have available a set of three bars, which provides support rails for both the sides and counter-current end of the spa.
Swimming Pool Bike
Our Swimming Pool Bike offers a unique means of exercise, allowing you to cycle in the low impact environment of your Riptide Pool's water.
The bike is constructed entirely from Nylon and ABS Fibreglass, meaning it's guaranteed to never rust, even when used in salt water spas. The patented Pool Bike features a four paddle system which is fully adjustable, allowing you to vary the workout intensity according to your needs and desires.
Step Options
We offer a variety of options for colour-matched steps based upon your needs, from the simple and stylish DuraSteps, to the fantastic SwimSpa 4xL steps (pictured right) which come equipped with double handrails and non-slip, extra deep depth top step for safety.
