Enhancing the benefits of Hot TubsDate: 08/17/2009
Retaining the core philosophy that using a hot-tub is principally about enjoying the benefits of hot water therapy, Marquis Spas has enhanced its 2009 range to meet the growing demands of different market segments.
Previously considered the domain of the 40-60 age groups, hot-tub bathing is appealing to the younger 25-40 age group who not only look for the health aspect of the product but also added value enhancements, such as sound, light and entertainment.
Addressing these needs, Marquis has upgraded its products by fitting as standard integrated cushioned headrests and cascading waterfalls on all models, yet also including the ability to have stereo sound, a video screen and multi-coloured underwater lighting if required.
Inside the spa the water jetting system has been improved with the ‘Tri-Zone Hydrotherapy’™ and ‘PowerShift’™ jets delivering three levels of relief to the upper, middle and lower body, including massaging aching feet, all available from each single seat.
To ensure the water temperature is maintained throughout the spa and the bathing period, filtered water is drawn into the primary pumps and simultaneously routed through a high-flow heating system ahead of the jet systems.
Multi-level seating, including a cool-down seat, ensures every bather benefits, whilst the generous ‘organic’ foot well - modelled on the actual rock formation of a riverbed - accommodates longer legs. All the controls are waterproof and have been located within the spa for easy access by bathers.
Addressing the requirement of those wanting entertainment, the Adagio audio system and ‘one-touch’ pop-up directional-sound ‘rotating speakers’ introduced on the 2008 models have been joined by the ‘E-Suite’™ - a water resistant video monitor that is stored in and lifts up from a heated corner of the spa to prevent the screen from misting up.
On the functional side the water filtering system has been improved with vortex skimmers removing surface contaminants. For primary filtration, water is drawn from specially designed safety suction fittings in the foot well and forced upward through the filter to trap debris, ensuring that all the water, from surface to floor, is recycled and filtered 60 to 160 times a day depending on the spa model.
Linked to the Marquis patented ‘ConstantClean’ water management system, which sanitises the water using natural mineral and bromine in-line cartridges, is ‘SmartClean’, a software-controlled cleaning cycle that is triggered automatically after each use of the spa. To keep running cost to a minimum, the main water filtration systems can be programmed to run only during off-peak periods.
