Frequently Asked Questions

Winterizing Your Hydropool Swim Spa?

For those customers who do not plan on using the Swim Spa during the winter months, it can be easily prepared for the winter by simply draining the water, removing the plugs from the pump(s), filter and heater, adding some antifreeze to suspect areas and covering the pool with the safety hardcover and a protective sheet of plastic. Where a proper concrete pad/foundation has not been installed, further consultation with your Hydropool representative will be required.

Operating Costs?

Hydropool hot tubs and swim spas are engineered to be the most energy efficient in the world. See Catalog for specific HydroGuide on each Hot Tub.

What Maintenance is Required?

Like any pool or hot tub, the Hydropool Swim Spa will require the addition of chemicals to kill bacteria and balance the water chemistry. It will contain about 1/10 of the water found in an average pool and therefore considerably fewer chemicals are required. Hydropool employs an inline automatic chemical dispenser that works in conjunction with the pressure-side 75 square foot cartridge filter to make water care simple.

In addition, we recommend the optional ozonator, which is designed to reduce the addition of chemicals while also making the water soft and gentle on the skin. In an outdoor setting, the inclusion of the optional hardcover will keep airborne debris from entering the water while maintaining the set temperature. In the event where dirt settles on the bottom, the jet action of the Swim Spa will usually stir the debris so that it is removed by the surface skimmer.

Regular rinsing of the filter with a hose or in a wash basin will keep the pool water clean and extend the life of the filter.

Is a Fence Required?

We recommend that you check with your local building/by-law department for any restrictions or requirements.

Since all Hydropool Swim Spas are available with a locking safety hardcover that prevents children, pets and unwanted visitors from entering, and taking into account that there is less than 4 feet of water, some municipalities may not require a fence.
