A Site Survey is essential for any Swim Spa purchase as no delivery is ever the same.

Our team will collect photos of access points and measurements to work out the best way of getting your new Swim Spa in it's new home! Our engineers will also check the electrical facilities if put in place already, or help and advise what is needed when on site. A quick 20 minute Site Survey answers all those important questions to ensure that the Swim Spa can indeed be put in your ideal spot, and everything will go swimmingly on delivery day!

Preparing for delivery and installation is imperative to ensure your swim spa can be delivered and installed on the agreed date. Preparation for your swim spa includes creating a foundation for your swim spa, ensuring the hot tub can be connected to the electrical supply and can be filled with water. For the exact dimensions required for your swim spa base, please contact your sales expert and they will advise what you require.
Creating the perfect foundation for your swim spa
Concrete
A poured slab of concrete or concrete patio are required to place your Swim Spa on. We advise the following steps as a minimum concrete base for your Swim Spa:
Excavate a 20-30cm/8-12inch deep area for your concrete base and use a Wacker plate to compact the area down
Lay 20-25cm/8-10inches of MOT type 1 sub-base gravel to fill the area and repeat Wacker plating to compact this again
Lay a minimum of 15cm/6inches of concrete to fill the area
The concrete support slab must be flat and level in order to properly level the Swim Spa during installation. The concrete pad should be slightly larger than the dimensions of the Swim Spa, but may be expanded further if required. Ensure that your concrete base is capable of supporting 1,500kg/m² (250lbs/ft²).
Decking Options
Indicative pricing shown below includes labour and materials for the construction of a strong 6x2 pressure treated wooden frame, supported by 4x4 posts in metal brackets all around the spa to a semi-sunken depth (approximately 80cm). This is then topped with a composite decking of your choice.

Lifting Equipment for Swim Spa Garden Installations
All SwimSpa installations will require some form of lifting equipment to manoeuvre the unit from the delivery vehicle into position within your garden. This can include use of a Hiab or a suitable size Crane to complete the lift. Your Sales Expert will advise which method will be required upon completion of your site survey.
Average fully insured Hiab hire cost is £600+VAT
Average fully insured Crane hire cost is £1200+VAT
Please note that all projects will also be subject to a site survey by the chosen lifting sub-contractor to allow them to provide an accurate quote for your project.
As a representative example, this quote will include:
Your SwimLife SwimSpa requires a dedicated power supply through an RCD trip:
For a 20amp power supply, 4mm² 3-core SWA cable is needed.
For a 32amp power supply, 6mm² 3-core SWA cable is needed.
For a 40amp power supply, 10mm² 3-core SWA cable is needed.
An IP65 45AMP Rotary Isolator Switch is also recommended so that the SwimSpa can be isolated outdoors in an emergency or for service work. This is simply a rotary on/off switch but should be sited more than 2 metres away from the SwimSpa so that bathers cannot be in the SwimSpa whilst touching the switch.
Your electrician will also need to fit a suitable weatherproof block connector to the end of the tail from the isolator, then the SwimSpa can be directly hard wired into the weatherproof block connector inside the SwimSpa.
Your electrician will need to leave enough spare cable attached to the isolator to go the furthest side of the SwimSpa. If your isolator is located further away, then please use a longer length of cable.
**Electrical installation must be completed by a qualified electrician and must comply with BS:7671 – “Requirements for Electrical Installations IET Wiring Regulations”

Water Supply
A swim spa requires a significant volume of water to fill, as such a mains water supply and a hosepipe long enough to reach your swim spa from the supply is a necessity to ensure your installation is quick and easy.
Delivery of your Swim Spa
Your swim spa install is organised around your availability. Our team will call you 3 days before the agreed delivery date, with a reminder of the delivery slot & the access they’ll need, then it’s time to bring your swim spa.
Delivered with care and wrapped in secure protective packaging, this is the beginning of our half-day installation. Our team then gently manoeuvres the hot tub into position and connects up the electrics. All that’s left to do then is fill with water and take you through the running instructions.
Please remember, should you need us at any point, you can call us, email or come into your local showroom again. We’re always happy to advise and help.
Maintenance of your Swim Spa
In short, Jacuzzi’s are simple to maintain. You certainly don’t need a chemistry degree. There are two main elements to look after and that is the sanitiser level (i.e. chlorine or bromine) and PH level. You will need to test the water (using simple paper test strips which change colour and give you a reading within 10 seconds) you will know whether to add any chemicals as result of the reading on the test strip.
Jacuzzi’s are set to filter the water itself, passing the water through a UV-bulb – killing 99.9% of bacteria as an extra form of sanitisation.

For even simpler maintenance, we recommend using a product called AquaFinesse . In one simple weekly treatment their patented environmentally friendly formula gets to the root of the problem by loosening this layer of slime from the surfaces, it is then rinsed away by the action of the water and prevented from reforming. Result, a dramatic reduction in the levels of bacteria, needing only the minimal amount of sanitiser! Even calcium, the notorious destroyer of spas, is no match against the power of AquaFinesse.
The only pool you can swim in constantly with no turning and no stopping. Creating perfect smooth swimming conditions all year round!
The SwimFit™ swim spa is ideal for families and swimming lovers alike. Designed to offer the ultimate benefits of a swim spa; you will never have to turn, push yourself off the side or touch the walls.

SWIMEXPERT FEATURE FAQS
Expert Swimboost Pump Design
WHAT MAKES THE JACUZZI® SWIMSPA SWIMBOOST PUMP SO POWERFUL?
By simply locating the two pumps closer to the jets the flow rate produced is as much as 360 gallons per minute per jet.
AquaCurrent Jet Technology
Q. HOW DOES THE SWIMSPA CREATE A NATURAL SWIM FEEL?
The Jacuzzi® SwimSpa has two patented AquaCurrent swim jets that work in conjunction with the AquaBlades. These shred any vortex created by the pump, resulting in a wider, deeper and smoother current than any other SwimSpa on the market. The buoyancy jet on this series is also backlit to light the swim current.
WaveRider Current Control
Q. HOW DO I CONTROL THE SPEED OF THE JETS?
Every SwimExpert has a WaveRider Current Control button. This feature allows you to vary the flow of water at the touch of a button, meaning that you can adjust to suit your swim level - from novice to triathlete.
AquaChannel Shell Design
Q. WILL I KEEP HITTING MY HANDS AND FEET ON THE SIDES OF THE SWIMSPA?
A lot of thought and innovation has gone into the unique shell design of the Jacuzzi® SwimSpa. This means that no reflective wave is created, helping to keep you permanently in the swim lane, you are also further supported with stabilization hip jets. With an increased stable swim channel being maintained you are less likely to find yourself hitting into the sides.
Circuit Training
Q. WHAT TYPES OF RESISTANCE AND CARDIO TRAINING CAN I DO IN THE SWIMSPA?
We recommend Aquatic circuit training. It is a fast-paced set of exercises in which you do one exercise for 30 seconds to 3 minutes and then move on to the next exercise. We have developed circuits that alternate between aerobic activity with strength building exercises.
Massage
Q. CAN THE SWIMSPA ALSO DELIVER A GOOD HYDROTHERAPY MASSAGE?
The Jacuzzi® swimspa massage is like no other. Our exclusive e-class jetting delivers a perfect mixture of water and air, designed to give a balance between a deep and soft tissue massage. The jet placement pattern is designed to work different muscle groups to give superior hydrotherapy benefits.
Filtration
Q. DOES THE JACUZZI® SWIMSPA HAVE A GOOD FILTRATION SYSTEM?
Yes it does! We have a unique ClearStream filtration system. This unique dual filtration technology means you can be assured that our swimspas will provide you with a clean and safe aquatic experience. Dual filtration increases the flow rate of water to the pumps, their location on either side of the swimspa means that oil and debris is directed towards the side of the swimspa for removal by the dual skimmers.
Thermalax™ Heat Management System
Q. WILL MY JACUZZI® SWIMSPA BE ENERGY EFFICIENT?
The engineering that goes into our Jacuzzi® SwimSpa ensures that we deliver the most energy efficient SwimSpa on the market. The Northern HeatSync blanket reflects the waste heat from the pumps back into the swimspa. Our high temperature surface insulation also helps the swim tank retain heat, wrapping it in 2lb of closed cell foam. The Stormshield hard cover locks heat in and keeps the cold out and our Thermalax vents also maximise energy efficiency in any season. Therefore, allowing you 365 days a year to use and enjoy your Jacuzzi® SwimSpa.
