VORTEX Spas from Canada

Ryan VSO:
We use a small efficient circulation pump :) , you can set the circ pump work with cycle or 24 hours/7

Tman122:
What kind of pump is it? How many amps does it draw? Cause that could simply be a regular jet pump, all spas can be set to filter continually or programmed.

Ryan VSO:
1.2amp 60gallon/min max dont worry i know how they are build hehe

Tman122:
OK that's good. With the insulation style your using you have to have a 24/7 pump in order for it to get close to a fully foamed in cabinet space in efficiency, still not as good but a lot closer. But you still have the heat issue that occurs with controls and pumps subjected to it for their shortened life. Do you use vents in the summer to cool the air space? And can you seal the cabinet for very cold times?

Ryan VSO:
Im not sure you understand how it really work but the main heat loss is when theres actually someone using the spa , with a vortex spas , only the heat from the jet pumps(2) will produce the equivalent of a 4kw heater wich you wont have with a full foamed spa. We have a jacuzzi (full foam) and a vortex spa that we run outside with temperature going below -20degrees and the full foam is way behind... You have to understand that if you dont have insulated walls wich also provide insonorisation from your pump , every component (pump,heater tube,) will be at the same temperature as the outside temperature and this is the major problem with full foam when you go below -15 degrees. Our pumps have less than 1% of failure after 5 years of operation so i dont know why you are saying all that but your confusing me.
