Intelligent
Thermal Tuning.
Vortex Spas adapt and tune themselves to their environment - day to day, season to season - to reduce heating costs by up to 20%.		   Perimeter
Insulation.
Perimeter insulation on the cabinet of Vortex Spas captures heat otherwise lost from the spa’s plumbing and equipment, further reducing energy costs. 		  Smart
Meter Ready.
Vortex Spas take full advantage of off-peak electricity rates, performing filtering and heating functions during off peak periods.		   Hybrid
Heat Pump.
A conventional spa heater turns 1 kilowatt of electricity into 1 kilowatt of heat. The Hybrid Heat Pump turns 1 kilowatt of electricity into 5 kilowatts of heat, giving you up to 4 kilowatts of heat for FREE!

intelligent thermal tuning

Intelligent thermal tuning.

No two spas are the same when it comes to thermal performance and heat retention. The Vortex control system will adapt and tune itself to the thermal properties of your spa pool, in its environment - day to day, season to season - to reduce 'on-demand' heating.

The Vortex control system actually 'learns' how your spa is behaving. By reducing the temperature drop required before the heater switches on, Reactive Heater Control provides more consistent spa water temperatures and lowers daily operating costs.

perimeter insulation

Perimeter insulation.

The Vortex Perimeter Insulation system has two features that make it a superior to the traditional ‘foam on shell’ spa insulation system.

First, by insulating the cabinet instead of the shell, Vortex spas not only recycle lost heat from the pumps and equipment, but also insulate the plumbing that otherwise would lose heat to the environment. This results in less overall heat loss and therefore, lower running costs. Secondly, by placing the insulation between the spa's pumps and you, you will enjoy a quieter, more tranquil spa experience.

smart meter

Smart meter ready.

Even if your electricity provider does not currently offer smart meters, they soon will. Most areas have a roll-out program for smart meters planned over the next few years. A smart electricity meter allows your electricity supplier to charge higher prices for electricity when demand is high, but reward consumers who shift their consumption to those times of day when demand is low - such as overnight.  

Using Power Save software, your Vortex spa is designed to do its filtering and heating when power costs are at their lowest. Best of all, the control is in your hands. You can tailor the operation of your Vortex spa to take advantage of smart meter technology to reduce your spa's running costs.
 
hybrid pump

Hybrid heat pump.

Traditional heaters, whether gas or electric, take one unit of energy and turn it into one unit of heat. Vortex Hybrid Heat pumps take one unit of energy and turn it into 5 units of heat. Even accounting for the cost of running your pumps, overall running costs will be slashed by more than 50%. Over the life of your spa, this will lead to savings of thousands of dollars.

Not only will the Vortex Hybrid Heat Pump heat your spa economically, it will also cool your spa. In hotter climates, when other spas will be unbearable, your Vortex spa will be an oasis of cool water to refresh and recharge in.
