The Hydropool Hot Tub HydroGuide
Make an informed decision about your long term investment

Hydropool hot tubs use THERMAL SHIELD INSULATION - Today’s Most Advanced Technology•

The Evolution of Energy Efficiency in a Hydropool Hot Tub. The Energy Efficiency Story... 1990 - NO FOAM 1992 - NO FOAM CHANGES TO FULL FOAM Why? • Better insulation • Supported pipes 1996 - FULL FOAM CHANGES TO PERIMETER FOA Why? • Water will take the path of least resistance hence, if there was a problem with the plumbing the water could appear on the other side • It is difficult to service because there is no access to plumbing without a full dig out • Not able to access plumbing without compromising the insulation or structural integrity • Each motor creates 1.5 kw of heat and all of that heat was being expelled from the hot tub as opposed to being used to help heat the water 2000 - PERIMETER FOAM CHANGES TO HYDROWISE THERMAL SHIELD Why? • Causes leaks due to plumbing support issues • Gaps in panels allow heat to escape • The Motor needs to breath, and without vents it overheats and causes the pumps to fail 2005 - PRESENT, HYDROWISE THERMAL SHIELD TECHNOLOGY Why? • Polyfilm barrier supports the plumbing • Easy access to service • Uses the waste heat of the motor, shell and pipes to heat the hot tub • Eco heat exchange Venting to expel the heat in the summer and trap the heat in the winter

Thermal Shield Blanket

“R” Value
Closed Cell Foam - R 5.5
Open Cell Foam - R4.3
Ayr Foil A2V Foil - R14- R16

How?
• Triple Thermal Shield protection (Pipes, Cabinet, Floor)
• Traps the waste heat of the Motor, Pipes, shell and
reflects the heat back into the water.
• Black Pipe Technology absorbs heat.
• N.A.S.A. inspired technology.

3) Saves Dollars By Keeping The Cold Out And The Warm In.

Eco Heat Exchange Thermal

Increase Motor Performance and Durability located on either side of the cabinet, the adjustable thermal vents allow for cross ventilation across the motor area during the summer months and
lock the heat in in the winter.

Save Money With Our Low Energy Pumps.

Pump Analysis

Our Evergreen Pumps have been designed
to produce more GPM with less wattage.

• Hot tub equipment is not housed behind the insulation but just behind the cabinet.
• Oversized equipment, to much power for the number of jets in the design.
• To much horsepower; extra volume of water with no extra hydrotherapy benefit due to the fact that there is only a maximum amount of water the pipes can handle at any given time.
• Also having the equipment on the outside of your hot tub may provide better access, but it comes at a loss of peace and a cost in energy efficiency.

Keep in Mind These Levels To Understand
Just How Loud These Hot Tubs Are In Comparison.
Jet engine at 100........................................................140dB
Sandblasting, Loud Rock Concert..................................115dB
City Traffic (inside car)...................................................85dB
Telephone dial tone.......................................................80dB
Normal conversation at 3’.........................................60-65dB
Whisper Quiet Library at 6’............................................30dB

Here Are The Results...
