Steel Sub-StructureAmerican Whirlpool hot tubs are the world’s first steel frame Appliance Grade® hot tub. The steel frame provides greater structural integrity than wood, as well as superior corrosion protection for a much longer life. Unlike wood, it will never rot, warp, or crack.

Northern Exposure® Insulation SystemThis patented thermal barrier recycles free heat energy for more efficient heating and lower energy costs. It combines the recycled natural fiber and copper lining of BlueMAAX® with 3M Thinsulate™ insulation, the same material used in winter clothing. This three-layer system ensures that energy created by the spa stays in the spa.

DuraMAAX™ CabinetryDuraMAAx® is a state of the art wood-alternative material that has the look and feel of natural wood, without the maintenance. The material is impact resistant, impervious to weather or insect damage and will never splinter, crack, or rot. The attractive exterior locks in heat and seals out cold air providing a beautiful look and feel.

Programmable Filter CyclesProgrammable filter cycles allow spa users to designate when it is most convenient for the spa to clean itself and can utilize their system for an extra clean spa before guests arrive.

3.5″ LED Underwater Spa LightA 3.5-inch LED light in the footwell of the spa provides a mood-setting effect of your choice.

Digital Color Optic LightingDigital color optic lighting throughout the spa provides a mood-setting effect of your choice.

Aurora Cascade Water Feature (4)Aurora Cascades offer a more modern water feature than the typical waterfall, with two jets that forms arcs of water across your spa.

Illuminated Drink HoldersThe illuminated drink holders turn even water into a visual piece of art that makes every evening special.

UPGRADE OPTION: CleanZone® Ultra Dual Sanitization SystemThe CleanZone ® Ultra system uses the power of UVC light, the same technology utilized in many communities around the world to purify drinking water. CleanZone® Ultra kills 99.99% of micro-organisms, bacteria, viruses, and parasites. This system is the perfect blend of hygiene, purity, and technology.

UPGRADE OPTION: Bluetooth Music SystemUse any Bluetooth compatible device and sync to two fully integrated speakers that provide crisp clear sound for your listening enjoyment. The subwoofer is a part of the spa structure, so you will not only hear the music, you’ll feel it.

Head Cushions (2)American Whirlpool head cushions cradle your head while enjoy your massage, offering another element of relaxation.

UPGRADE OPTION: Low Impact Exercise Kit Resistance BandsResistance bands are a great option to increase intensity during an aqua workout. Like swimming, resistance bands are easier on the joints and still provide strength training.

UPGRADE OPTION: Low Impact Exercise Kit Resistance Bands with OarsThis fitness kit provides resistance bands for an elevated aqua workout along with oars for a concentrated upper body workout.

LED Illuminated SwimlaneDay or night, swim with ease as the LED light at the front of the spa makes it easy to see the PowerTread for a line of reference.

UPGRADE OPTION: Swim TetherThis adjustable belt-style swim tether fits around the waist and attaches to a pole at the rear of the swim spa for extra resistance and a more intense workout.

MAAX Force Jet Propulsion SystemThe MAAX Force® jet propulsion system uses proprietary ‘Anti-Turbulence’ technology to boost and smooth the swim stream for the ultimate swimming experience. Anti-turbulence technology creates a powerful, smooth, variable jet stream that is completely adjustable and designed to allow you to swim at your individual fitness level.

Gecko Control PackThe Gecko in.k1000 is a user-friendly spa controller. Change the temperature from the easy-to-read home screen and use the Mode Selection Wheel or Direct Function Selection Wheel to access any other spa feature. Messages and reminders will display at the bottom of the screen so you can stay up to date on your spa’s operating condition. The control panel combined with the Gecko power pack can be controlled by the Gecko in.touch2 app on your phone, giving you peace of mind even when you’re away from home.
