Water Header
There is simply nothing more important than clean, clear spa water. Even clean looking watercan still be unhealthy. The more the water “turns over” or moves through the filter in a day, the cleaner the water will be. The spa industry uses two different methods of moving water for filtration – 2-speed pumps and dedicated 24/7 pumps.

2-Speed Filtration

Many spa companies run the main spa motor at a reduced speed to filter the water. This method efficiently uses existing components and is capable of turning spa water approximately 40 times per day. Sparta select spas use large, long-lasting 2-speed pumps to filter spa water reliably and efficiently.

24/7 Filtration

A second popular spa filtration system uses a small circulation pump with narrow diameter tubing to filter the water constantly. These small pumps are prone to failure from overheating and the restricted plumbing can only turn over the spa water 16 times per day. Sparta deluxe models feature ThermoFiltration with large, powerful pumps and bigger diameter tubing turning the spa water 144 times per 24 hour cycle.

Step Up to ThermoFiltration

Keeping spa filters clean is vital to maintaining crystal clear spa water. Sparta recognized the need to keep filter cleaning top of mind and designed their patented ThermoFiltration System, the most powerful filtration system available.

Twice the Filtering Power

The only system of it’s kind, ThermoFiltration features two separate spinning filter wheels, a primary and secondary wheel to increase filtering efficiency. Simple lift the ice bucket (on all models except Calypso) and instantly evaluate how your ThermoFiltration system is running. If either of the two wheels are stopped or spinning slowly it’s time to clean your system. It’s that easy with ThermoFiltration, replace the ice bucket and your ready to entertain quests with a clean spa and cold drinks.
