Hydropool Hot Tubs originated in 1970 as a commercial swimming pool company and in 1978 became one of the first hot tub retailers in North America. By 1980, Hydropool began manufacturing their own hot tubs in Toronto, Canada which are hand crafted by experienced designers and the rest is history. In 1997, Hydropool acquired the assets of an Indiana-based Swim Spa manufacturer. The “Perfect Swim ” Aquatrainer Swim Spa allow the swimming enthusiast to swim against a strong current while never having to turn around as in a traditional residential / commercial swimming pools, the Aquaplay model uses only one pump to drive the massage seats and utilizes an “Aquacord” swim-in-place harness for swimming or exercise resistance. Both are ideal for swimming, jogging, exercise or play and provide a large pool experience in a small, easy to maintain, safe pool space. The Hydropools Self-Cleaning Model boasts a Self-Cleaning System that actually cleans 100% of the water every 15 minutes and even includes a built-in floor vacuum as part of the science of the worry-free, Self-Cleaning technology of Hydropool Hot Tubs.
