7 Must-Have Hot Tub and Swim Spa Features

By , March 1, 2023

Do sore muscles or chronic pain slow you down or bring you to a standstill?

One of the most effective and enjoyable ways to get pain relief is in a hydrotherapy spa or swim spa. Powerful jets alleviate body aches, while the buoyancy from the water takes pressure off joints.

We particularly love Coast Spas hot tubs and swim spas. These high-quality handcrafted spas are engineered to deliver wellness.

Designed For Every Lifestyle

Coast Spas has three collections: Traditional, Curve, and Infinity.

Traditional Collection

You’re likely familiar with the classic flat-top hot tub design. Coast Spas has refined this traditional design, adding soft, flowing lines, ergonomic seating, plush headrests, and easy-touch controls.

The Omega, Element, and Apex models are three traditional designs extremely popular among Rich’s customers. Check out this article on Rich’s blog for pictures of some of our happy customers.

Curve Collection

The sleek and stylish raised rear wall of Curve Collection spas provides added comfort, privacy, and shields you from wind.

24-inch Waterfall

To heighten your experience, curve spas are equipped with a 24-inch-wide waterfall – the largest available in any residential hot tub. You can adjust the settings on the flush-mounted waterfall so a stream explodes into the middle of your hot tub or drops softly into the spa. LED lights complete the soothing effect.

Infinity Collection

The stunning vanishing edge design features a raised curve back, with one edge of the spa removed to the waterline, allowing for a seamless view of your surroundings.

No matter how many people are in an infinity-edge spa, the water level remains the same because there’s zero water displacement.

A self-purging system automatically eliminates air-locks and an included water-level gauge makes it easy to keep the correct amount of water in the included reserve tank.

There’s no filter grate or bobbing skimmer to take up precious seating space.

Swim Spas

Swim, row, exercise and relax in a swim spa! These versatile, extra-long spas range in length from 13 to 21 feet.

Coast Spas has two swim spa collections: the Recreation Collection and the Performance Collection.

The Recreation Collection is geared for entertaining, playing water games, exercising, or just relaxing.

The Performance Collection swim spas help both casual and competitive swimmers enjoy strength- and cardio training and reap the benefits of open-water swimming… with perfect conditions every time.

At 16-ft, 17-ft, and 21-ft long, Performance Collection swim spas feature an extended swim and workout area and have powerful swim resistance jets.

But you can do more than simply swim in place. Connections for row bars and resistance exercise bands help round out your workout with added strength, toning, and mobility moves.

Recovery seats with powerful, therapeutic massage jets are a great way to soothe and reinvigorate tired or tense muscles after your workout.

More Features We Love

Many models of Coast hot tubs and swim spas include these features:

Water Ropes

Streaming water ropes provide the soothing sound of running water. Water ropes are also an enticing playground for kids (and kids at heart).

Stainless Steel Massage Jets

Luxury trillium jets are designed to look incredible against the spa’s acrylic. Their smooth lines and multiple textures are wrapped within a stylish stainless steel housing.

Hydro Cyclonic Filtration System

Filtration is one of the most important aspects to look for when buying a spa. Coast Spas’ exclusive commercial-grade pressurized Hydro Cyclonic Filtration System® tests 83% faster and 20% more efficient at filtering spa water than skim filtration.

It also removes the presence of a dirty filter canister from the bathing area. Without a pressurized system, once the water flow to the filter subsides, the debris that was caught in the filter is free to float back into the spa and re-contaminate the water.

And who wants to sit in dirty water? Coast Spas filtration system, coupled with an oversized skimmer, completely removes the filter canister from the bathing area.

All things considered, you can’t go wrong with a hot tub or swim spa. Whether you want to exercise, play, or relax, hydrotherapy is great for easing stiff, sore muscles, lowering stress, increasing mobility, and helping you sleep more deeply and restfully.
