A Smart, Attractive, Efficient Alternative to the Traditional Pool.

One of the most versatile, yet highly overlooked option for the consumer considering an aquatic feature for their personal living space is the Swim Spa. A swim spa- or “Spool” as they are sometimes called- is a unique combination of several aquatic features: very similar to a pool in construction and versatility of design, only in a smaller scale. The swim spa allows the owner several options a pool cannot: such as a strong jetted current with which to swim, walk, or perform aquatic aerobic exercise against. Then, after exercising, the current can be turned off and switched to a water jetted spa or air bubbler spa for a more soothing experience. If desired, all features can be turned off, and the swim spa then becomes a small pool.

The swim spa has been around for quite some time, but because of the construction techniques utilized by most pool builders, it was not a cost effective product for them, and was not offered to the consumer. Until recently, with the development of more cost effective construction methodologies, the swim spas were confined to the medical industry, specifically: physical therapy and sports medicine.

In today’s environment, with the geography of lot sizes on new homes decreasing, it becomes more difficult for the average homeowner to install a traditional pool without giving up all their available living space. The swim spa helps the homeowner overcome this dilemma, and provides an attractive alternative to a standard pool.

Swim spas provide the homeowner with a hydrotherapeutic product as well as an aesthetically pleasing water feature within their living space. CKP Spools, a leader in the swim spa industry, has combined the advances in construction techniques and materials to provide a product which will outperform a standard pool in almost all areas. CKP Spools provides a patented construction process, which has been in the industry for over 20 years and outperforms the standard construction materials in areas such as: structural integrity over time, thermal insulation properties, and life of the surface coating. All of these features are covered by 30 year manufacturer’s warranties from the date of installation. Another big benefit brought by the CKP Spools with this methodology, is the dramatic reduction in installation time. The patented construction process allows for the installation of a swim spa to be performed on an average of 30 days, which is dramatically less than the standard pool installation, that can take anywhere from 3-9 months. 

• CKP Spools along with the Waterfall Design Center also provides the opportunity for their customers to include a natural stone hand sculpted waterfall feature unlike any other supplied to the market today. The goal of the Waterfall Design Center is to provide a natural looking aquatic feature that incorporates the features and desires of each respective customer, to provide them with their own personal oasis.
