Water care systems

All TropicSpa’s hot tubs have different filtration methods and are equipped with an integrated water purification system. Having a water purification system installed in your spa lowers the need for hot tub chemicals offering you crystal clear hot water. Your spa’s filtration system is one of the most crucial aspects of cleanliness and water balance.

How does TropicSpa’s water filtering system work?

The water filtering system works with:

– Whirlpool WTC50M circulation pump (makes the water circulate through the system)
– Skimmer (traps large material)
– TropicSpa’s cartridge filter (traps small impurities)

The most outstanding feature of our Whirlpool WTC50M circulation pump is that it delivers a larger flow, compared with 2800 r/m normal speed pump. Its low-speed operation allows it to be less abrasive, but more long-lasting, more silent, and more energy-efficient, and extremely suitable for continuous filtration and circulation. Its low noise motor and reliable base filter 240 liters/min.

The filtering system is totally automatic, the circulation pump sucks the water into the filtration system through the skimmer basket to eliminate contaminants and then pass by the cartridge filter to trap the small impurities. The system continuously filters the water to eliminate contaminants.

– Inner cabinets are covered with thermo-reflective fiberglass insulation collecting any waste heat energy and reflecting it back into the plumbing and shell, whilst keeping out the colder outer air.


– Finally, the bottom is equipped with a fiber thermal insulation bottom plate for an extra layer of protection.

What is the purpose of the circulation pump?

All our spas are equipped with a circulation pump that filters the water (one or two times a day) to keep it clean and clear.

What is the purpose of the air jets?

All our spas come with air jets for multiple reasons.
