How the One Model works
For buyers who like to see inside: the two pumps, the three massage zones, the water-care system, the cabinet and the cover.
Pumps
What the two pumps do.
The water pump runs 24 hours a day. It moves the water through the filter, the ozone chamber, the salt system and the heater, so the water is always being cleaned and kept warm.
The variable-speed pump does massage only. Because its speed can change, the massage can run gently or at full power. It drives 25 jets: one 7-inch Everywhere jet, sixteen 5-inch jets and eight 3-inch jets.
Massage
Three massage zones.
Zone selector valves direct the massage pump's flow between the three zones. You can run all three at once or just one, so the pump's power goes to the seats in use.
- Zone 1: the shuttle seats
- 12 jets
- Zone 2: the pivot seat and lounge
- 12 jets
- Zone 3: the Everywhere jet
- One 7-inch jet, the largest in the tub
- Jet control
- Every jet except the Everywhere jet in the middle turns from off to full with a quarter turn, like a faucet handle, so each person adjusts the jets at their own seat. Each of the three zones can also be switched off, so you can run all three or just one.
- Also in the tub
- 4 whirlpool jets run all the time on the water pump and keep the water moving. 2 clean-out jets run with the massage pump. They keep the zone valves clean and give the pump an outlet even when every massage jet is turned off.
Water care
A hot tub should work like a fridge.
Like a fridge, the tub does the daily work itself. The salt system makes chlorine from salt, and an ozone chamber, a floating skimmer and an antimicrobial filter clean the water alongside it. Each week you test the water with a strip and check the salt system's run time, and every 3 to 6 months you change the filter.
The Waterlab monitor sits in the plumbing inside the cabinet. It reads pH, temperature and ORP, a measure of how well the sanitizer is working, and the Gecko in.touch 3 app shows them on your phone. You can check the water before you lift the cover.
Build
Insulated like a house.
The insulation lines the cabinet walls and keeps the warmth in. The space around the plumbing stays clear, so when a part needs fixing, a local expert opens a panel and reaches it without cutting through foam. The tub is built to be serviced and repaired for decades.
Cover
A hard cover, included.
The Smartop Upright 3.0 by Leisure Concepts comes with every tub. It is a hard cover that does not absorb water, so it stays light and keeps holding the heat in. A built-in hydraulic lift means one person can open it alone.
It is UL certified to ASTM F1346-91, the safety standard for pool and hot tub covers, and measures 89 by 89 inches.
Stop researching. Start relaxing.
