ACTIVE-PLUS EP-12 – THE STARTING POINT OF THE TIDALFIT RANGE
AN ENTRY-LEVEL MODEL WHICH SPORTS HIGH-END LOOKS
Artesian Spas released its first TidalFit swim spa model, the EP-14, back in 2008 and since then they have introduced a wide range of quality models to suit all swim spa needs and budgets. Their 12ft Active-Plus EP-12 joined the successful range in 2015, taking its place as the entry-level option in the four model EP swim spa series. The Active-Plus EP-12 offers a choice of two different adjustable swim jets, both providing a variable swim current perfect for light and strong swimmers alike. The exercise element of the TidalFit does not end there though as stationary resistant swim tether and/or rowing bars plus resistant cords are all available for the ultimate workout. Standard features include an advanced digital control system, a maintenance free Kingwood cabinet that is both beautiful and durable, an 18” grab rail for stability during a workout and a 3kW heater. For those with a bit more in the budget, the EP-12 is available with an optional hydrotherapy system which includes 28 Helix Jets, a 3hp 1-Spd pump and a BellagioFall water feature and for owners who want to turn it into more of a party spa, both multicolour LED and DynaBrite LED lighting is available plus there’s a choice of sound options too – a Bluetooth Music Experience Stereo or a bba™ Bluetooth Audio System. The EP-12 can be placed above-ground or semi in-ground and with its shell available in three colour options and cabinet in six, designing the perfect swim spa for any setting is easy.
Over recent years, the Wellis brand has gone from strength-to-strength and in 2016, the European manufacturer added swim spas to its expanding range following a major increase to the company’s manufacturing capacity. The Wellis swim spa range consists of a number of models but one of the most important features across the entire range is that all of their swim spas have a depth of 1.5m and a width of 2.3m. This consistent specification allows users of all their swim spas, regardless of the model chosen, to have the perfect swimming experience. In addition, all of Wellis’ swim spa models sport the EveRest premium design elements, taken from their successful hot tub model. This result in outstanding looks across the range of swim spas and superior comfort for all users. Their entry-level model is called the Danube. This 4m long exercise pool is available with a single river jet in the
