HYDROPOOL SWIM SPAS AND HOT TUBS

Hydropool Channel Islands opened in August 2018 and has since gone from strength to strength. The award-winning showroom reflects the quality of the Canadian built Hydropool range of Hot Tubs and Swim Spas, all available to 'try before you buy'.

Based at the old Jersey Gas Showroom site opposite the Grand Marche car park in St Helier, Hydropool has made an immediate and significant impact on the Hot Tub and Swim Spa market in the Channel Islands.

“We know we have the product at the highest level” said Dennis Shore, Hydropool CI’s General Manager, “but the client base here has not seen the likes of this product in the Channel Islands before, and certainly not in the environment we want to show it in”. There are a number of Hot Tubs and a Swim Spa for clients to try before they buy, with a changing room sited adjacent to them, so clients can grab a robe and jump straight in. “We felt it was really important for people to try the tubs out, this is not about pushing a lot of water through lots of water jets just to make bubbles, this is about the quality and deliverance of a spa experience” Dennis explained. “Our jets are strategically designed and located in each seat, to deliver a massage particular to a user’s needs. These are not marketing tools to woo the client, these are genuine hydrotherapy programs, designed to relieve several ailments, from back and leg ache to headaches, from stress relief to an awakening program to get you ready for the day ahead. A massage complimented with Chromotherapy lighting and Aromatherapy oils; the right massage will set you up for the day or relieve the effects your day has had on you.”

Hydropool is the longest established brand name in the Hot Tub market in the UK having been introduced from Canada in 1996, though the company itself was established in 1986. Over 21,000 units have been installed in the UK since that time, with the market growing year on year. Hydropool also invented the Swim Spa, the self-contained extended Hot Tub, with high volume water jets at one end for the user to swim against whilst remaining stationary. The holy grail in Swim Spas is to have a flat, wide swim channel, with minimal turbulence produced from the jets. In this quest, Hydropool Swim Spas have evolved over the past 20 years with the latest 16- and 19-foot Executive models, released into the European market this year. Whilst these are aimed at the serious sports person in training, there are several other models starting at just 12 feet in length and at all budgets. Everything is measured in “feet” on these products, harking back to their roots in Canada where decimalisation is yet to arrive, but the build quality is there for both extremes of Canadian weather.

Other products to see in the Showroom are Canadian Cedar Barrel Saunas and outdoor showers, originating from the Mennonite people in Northern Toronto, they are fantastic examples of high-quality products produced from the very gentile peoples like the Amish communities found throughout North America. The craftsmanship and construction are really things of beauty.

There are also a range of hot tub covers and outdoor buildings - one of these being the Covana electric Hot Tub cover/lid. It is truly amazing that your Hot Tub or Swim Spa can be put to bed once you have finished with it for the day by simply turning a key and the lid lowers onto the Tub, hermetically sealing it. A fantastic advantage for those of advancing years or physically unable to cope with removing a cover in the conventional manner, whilst being the greatest beneficiaries of a spa therapy session.

Also, on display is a 4m x 3.2m garden building, quite a thing to see inside the showroom! This has been specifically designed for Hydropool Europe as a garden destination space. It is large enough to house a Hydropool Hot Tub, making the winter months a bit warmer in which to use your Hot Tub if you are not into the Ski Chalet experience of being outdoors. With a built-in bar, stools, table and bench seats, it is a great space to simply chill or entertain friends and family.

Finally, both Dennis Shore and Dave Moore the Managing Director, are incredibly knowledgeable about all things Hot Tub and Swim Spa related. They also have a building business as part of the group of companies at their disposal, making this a true one stop shop for all your garden or outdoor space needs. They look forward to welcoming you through the door and giving freely of their time and knowledge. 
