Nerina-ll Silver White

This 5-person hot tub measures 2100 × 2100 × 850 mm and weighs 324 kg dry, with a water capacity of 1470 L. It features two full-length loungers and three upright seats, delivering hydrotherapy through 41 jets in total — 22 × 1″ directional jets, 8 × 2.5″ directional jets and 11 × 2.5″ rotational jets — complemented by 2 × 2.5″ LED fountains for visual ambience. Powered by a Balboa BP200G1 control system with TP500 top panel and a 2000 W Balboa heater, it runs on a 16 AMP or 32 AMP system and includes 1 × 3 HP pump plus an energy-saving circulation pump, with 3 air valves for flow adjustment. The spa is equipped with 18 water-level LED lights, a 5″ underwater light, Bluetooth audio, an ozone sanitation system, a single filter system and water-segregation design. Finished with 50 mm pipe, skirt and full wrap insulation, and prepared for heat-pump integration, it is built for efficient year-round performance.

Not all hot tubs contain circulation pumps! Here’s why yours should:

• Energy efficiency: It makes the hot tub more energy efficient.
• Cleaner water: The pump constantly circulates and filters the water, keeping it clean.
• Consistent temperature: It helps distribute heated water throughout the hot tub, maintaining a comfortable temperature.
• Reduced wear-and-tear: It reduces strain on therapy pumps.

The difference between 13amp and 32amp hot tubs is primarily related to their electrical requirements and performance capabilities.

13amp Hot Tubs

• Commonly referred to as “plug and play” models, these hot tubs can be plugged into an external IP65 13amp power socket.
• If you don’t already have an appropriate socket, expect to pay around £150 for installation by a qualified electrician.
• While many believe that a standard 13amp socket on the ring main is adequate, it’s recommended to have the power outlet on a separate circuit. This is because the extra load on your main household circuit could lead to tripping your electricity, especially if multiple appliances are in use simultaneously.
• Since a 13amp hot tub can draw a maximum of 13 amps at any given time, it can only operate either the heater or the jets, but not both simultaneously. This limitation is a crucial factor to consider when evaluating your options.

32amp Hot Tubs

• Installing a 32 amp hot tub requires a more intricate electrical setup and a dedicated circuit to avoid overload and ensure safety.
• A qualified electrician typically charges around £500 for this installation, which must be completed before the delivery of your 32 amp tub.
• While the extra expense may seem discouraging, a 32 amp hot tub offers advantages such as improved jet performance and the capability to run both the heater and jets at the same time.
