This rise up and rise down 17” Flat Screen TV System is a spectacular feature to add to our spas. Lay down in your lounger or hot tub seat, relax and watch your favorite movie or TV. Hook your standard cable from the house or pop in a DVD and to watch your favorite movie. TV rises up and down with the push of a button, and there is a remote control for the TV as well as the DVD player. A solid protective plastic cover protects the TV from the environment and an advanced mechanical system, pulls the TV down and covers it when not in use. Also use the system like a stereo system, and play your favorite CD or plug in your IPOD or music payer into the DVD. Two standard speakers are built into the sides of the cabinet, or you can upgrade to the POP-UP speakers.
You can upgrade from the standard side panel speakers and add two more pop-up speakers on top of the spa (to have 4 speakers total). The pop-up speakers are especially advantageous with the TV feature because it allows you to hear better above the spa.
The circulation pump is the most recommended option to add to our spas. It is an extra pump that only runs on 0.5 HP (instead of the larger 5 HP Jet Pumps) that allows you to keep your spa heated and cleaning while not in use, and most importantly helps you cut down your electricity bill. If you don’t have a circulation pump, you have to run the larger pumps to keep the spa heated and the spa will use more electricity. Also with the circulation pump option, you will have a timer, so that you can set the circulation pump on for any amount of time (for example an hour a day), which will allow you to keep your spa heated to the perfect temperature. When the circulation pump is turned on, it turns on only the heater and not the jets, and also keeps the water circulating to keep it clean.
The cover for Island Spas is a highly durable, child proof walk on cover, with a waterproof insulated foam padding which insulates your spa. The spa also comes with child proof locks, and folds over in the middle. Our covers are durable and built to last.
The cover lifter is a nice feature because you don’t have to strain yourself when taking off the 65 pound cover from the spa. Good for elderly, children, physically challenged, or people with back pains. If you don’t feel like putting muscle into the task, add the cover lifter, and you can easily pull the cover off by just using one arm and moving the spring loaded lever from one side to the other. The cover lifter feature is also nice because it stows the cover nicely to the side of the spa (total thickness = 10 inches when folded on side of spa), instead of leaving it lying around.
The polar foam options is recommended to anybody who lives in the US to add more insulation and thus cutting down on the electricity bill. Standard insulation comes packed several inches on the back of the hot tub shell, but Polar Foam is the option to put extra insulation around the cabinetry of the spa to provide more heat entrapment thus allowing the spa to keep its temperature longer. This is a must for any state with a cold winter. When you add the polar foam, the combination of the cabinet foam, the standard shell foam, and the wrapped ABS plastic bottom, creates a highly insulated tub even for the harshest of cold winters.
Our Salt Water System is our hottest selling new option on our spas. It uses an advanced electronic process that sanitizes your water by creating a pure form of chlorine from salt. After the chlorine and the bacteria are killed, the chlorine is converted back to salt and the process is ongoing. There are many health benefits to using a salt water system chlorinator, including eliminating irritation to your skin and eyes. And you only have to add salt (pool salt from a pool store), instead of dealing with messy chemicals. You also save money because pool salt costs much less than chlorine.. Our spas come standard with an Ozone Oxidation System, but even with Ozone you need some kind of sanitizer to keep your water fully clean. So you can choose either chlorine/bromine chemicals, or you can choose the safer, healthier alternative the Salt Water Sanitizer System. Here are more features:
- comes with cell holder, cell is replaceable
- easy set-up, screws into side of spa
- no more purchasing, transporting, or storing chlorine
- LED indicator lights tell you salt levels
- commercial grade titanium cell plates
- chlorine output is adjustable by a timer
Lift-gate delivery to the front of the house is free of charge and is included in the hot tub pricing. But if you want “inside” or “backyard delivery” to your home, we can bring out a few extra men and equipment to help with that. The moving staff will also remove the crating and debris from the spa and set it in the exact place you want it. In order to do backyard delivery we require:
- No obstructions – so remove them first, the spas are delivered upright
- No more than 200 feet from the truck
- Remove any fences or gates if the spa height cannot fit through it (the spa is on its side)
- Path must be fairly level, no steep hills or steps
Our filters are unique to our spas and cannot be obtained elsewhere so it may be good to buy extra filters upfront. The most common problem with any spa brand is “the spa is not heating up”, and almost 99% of the time it’s because people have dirty filters! Of course it’s always a relief when customers find they can just clean their filters (with air hose or dishwasher), to fix this common issue. But you can’t clean the filters forever, as they do need to be replaced every 6 months. So get some extra filters. Our parts warehouse keeps these filters in stock and it has been around for 38 years.
Our standard cabinets are made of wood. The upgraded cabinet is made of synthetic hard plastic (polystyrene). Synthetic cabinets are preferred by most customers because they still look like real wood, but don’t need the maintenance that wood cabinets need such as regular water sealing. Also wood can rot, warp, fade or blister from the sun, whereas the synthetic version will last a lifetime.
The Spa Surround contains a complete spa bar, stools, and corner to create a high-end look to your spa, and allow you to entertain more people when using it.
You can add an extra layer of lighting above the rim of the spa to make your spa even livelier. Crystal clear shining LED lights will be placed above the rim of the water, and you can run them in accordance to the ambiance lighting pattern of the underwater bulb. It is also a nice feature to show off your spa at night when not in use.
Upgrade your warranty from the standard 1-year parts to a 5-year parts warranty with this option. Island Spas has a full-time spa technician on staff available, with over 36 years of experience, which will assist you with any service needs you have. Even though we are an online company, he has the experience to trouble shoot problems quickly over the phone and determines what parts you need. Then we can dispatch parts directly to you. About 70% of our customers nowadays just install their replacement parts themselves because the spas are designed to have plug and play parts. A handyman can also be used in conjunction with our live spa tech for parts for any repairs.
