Unique features of D1 Bay Collection Series of Hot Tubs:

WELLNESS:

     - Hydronomics: D1’s extensive study of human anatomy, ergononmics, fluid mechanics, aquatic massage, acupressure, and reflexology led them to the development of a new field they named "hydronomics." Using state-of-the-art modeling software, D1 engineers design hot tubs in virtual space, giving them unprecedented control over materials, and thus ensuring the ultimate in comfort.

     - Dynamic Massage Sequencer: Introduced in 1999, DMS was the world’s first programmable hydrotherapy massager. The built-in massager focuses on 6 specific therapy zones and offers pause and speed controls.

CLEAN ENERGY:

     - UltraPure PLUS Water Management: This patented system purifies the spa’s water 24/7, using less energy than a 100 watt bulb to ozonate spa water anytime the tub is in use. It now uses ultraviolet light as a germicidal agent, Only D1 hot tubs with UltraPure PLUS offer what amounts to a double-dose of microorganism destruction, once with ozone (a patented D1 process) and once with the new UV light germicidal.

     - Envirotect: The Ultralife slip-resistant interior of each tub is surrounded by a durable, all-weather exterior made from 100% recycled plastic (HDPE).

     - 100% Insulated: In 1981 D1 Spas was the first company to manufacture a fully insulated spa for in-ground or above-ground use. Today their hot tubs are 100% foam insulated with closed-cell urethane -- like commercial freezers -- not only absorbing equipment noise for the quietest operation possible, but also minimizing heat loss to ensure the lowest energy costs.

     - Vision: This specially designed cleaning cartridge lasts up to 6 months; minimizing chlorine usage while destroying 99% of bacteria on contact, leaving your water sparkling clean and feeling soft while significantly reducing chemical maintenance.

spa control system that allows you to effortlessly direct every feature in your spa toward your personal relaxation.
