EnvironmentalIST — IST is a Green Machine
Energy costs are on everyone’s mind, so it’s comforting to know that IST builds each spa to give you the best experience with the least amount of energy. Consider that IST spas are currently evaluated to save up to 30% of energy costs over spas of similar size and water capacity. Add to that the energy savings you achieve by enjoying your spa at home, instead of driving to the health club. A ‘staycation’ is fun, convenient and cost effective. Plus, when the spa party gets going, you’ll be creating a lot of your own energy!

Green Manufacturing
With a steadfast commitment to quality, IST focuses on build-to-demand manufacturing, holding scrap to a minimum and recycling remaining material. No fiberglass is used in production, making for cleaner air and a safer working environment, and the 100% composite construction not only results in a better, longer lasting spa but also requires less use of natural resources.

Low Energy LED Lighting
Optional lighting package uses energy saving LED lights that are brighter at lower wattage than standard lighting.

The IST Difference
With IST, you’re not only getting a great product. You’re also getting a spa that’s environmentally friendly and can save you costs on your energy bill. It’s just one more way that IST is the spa that makes sense.

The IST Enerjacket™
From efficient pumps to thorough insulation, IST is engineered with an innovative Enerjacket™ that efficiently maintains warmth in closed loop energy conservation, making your new spa one of the most efficient ways to have fun and enjoy healthy benefits.

 


Two Stage Heater

Efficiency begins with ‘smarter’ heaters. Instead of turning high-level heat on for short periods, IST two stage heaters use a lower level for maintaining heat during vacancy, keeping your overall heat costs lower and saving energy.

Commercial-Quality Water-Based Foam Insulation
Spa shells and Casement interiors are sprayed with high-density, water-based foam insulation, the same type used in high-efficiency homes. Unlike polyurethane foam, water-based foam does not release CFCs, making it as ‘green’ as it is effective.

High Density 5/3 Cover
IST spa covers keep the heat in, elements out. Constructed of 2 lb. foam, IST covers feature a full five inches of insulation at the peak and three inches at the edges, covered in durable marine-grade vinyl and are tapered for water run-off. Child-resistant safety locks meet ASTM safety standards.

Programmable Energy Controls
IST touch pad controls let you set multiple water temperature preferences for in-use and idle times, saving energy while maintaining water at your desired temperature.

Matched Jet Pumps
Cool running 56 frame pumps are hydraulically matched for each spa model; they’re not oversized or undersized. Three pumps total; one is a low power 48 frame pump for low-cost but effective circulation through the day and night. The other two are pure performance pumps for moving more water.  It’s the thrust you trust.


Tuned JetSTREAM™

Specially designed manifold plumbing system allows water to flow virtually unrestricted to the jets for maximum thrust with energy.

Recycled materials, composite casement and a
smart heating system. That’s what makes a
relaxing and luxurious IST spa. With IST, you
conserve energy and save up to 30%
over the competition, meaning a lower
energy bill and a comfortable,
soothing experience.

Our unique wide stream swim nozzles project a non-turbulant water current that is both more enjoyable to swim in, but also results in a wider current making it easier to swim in and less likely for you the swimmer to swim wide of the current and get out of sync.

Our individual diverters allow you to adjust the flow by simply turning the flow diverters from a gentle current to a powerful stream allowing the strongest swimmer to swim consistently up to 5 miles (8 km) per hour without turning

Our tank design eliminates the backwash effect by diverting the water flow to the massage seat area, eliminating the effect that can impede a smooth swim. Many competitive swimmers find the Hydropool Aquatrainer to have the most realistic swim.

Hydropool Aquatrainer Swim Spas are equipped with two adjustable thigh jets that utilize diverted water from turning down the wide stream swim nozzles. The jets can act as a swim stabilizer by further helping the swimmer stay centred which keeps them in sync. They are also perfect for a lower body massage and are ideal for light resistance and water aerobic exercises.

There are many new forms of alternative energy but maybe none as interesting as the Cool Earth Solar “Balloon.” The concept behind this design is that they create an “inflatable plastic thin-film balloon (solar concentrator) that, upon inflation, focuses sunlight onto a photovoltaic cell held at its focal point.

The design produces 400 times the electricity that a solar cell would create without the company’s concentrator.” Cool Earth has already began construction on a power plant in Livermore, CA that will utilize this new technology. The plant is modest in size, creating only 1.4 Megawatts but if this plant works as well as they expect it to, they plan on launching a full sized plant next summer. One great thing about this device is that it’s made up of a very common and cheap material. “Plastic thin film is abundant and cheap,” said Cool Earth Solar CEO Rob Lamkin. “It only costs two dollars for the plastic material necessary for our solar concentrator.”

It’s ideas like this that I think will stick. It’s cost efficient. It’s made of an easy to find material and it’s an environmentally sound concept.

Do you think this sounds like a good way to harness solar energy?

green-logoindex_01Ontario Canada Hydropool Hot Tubs Goes GREEN

Hydropool Hot Tubs Introduces The Hydropool Evergreen Commitment, The worlds first green hot tub.

Hydropool’s Green Initiative is a first in the Hot Tub Industry. Hot Tub Manufacturing has never been anywhere near GREEN, But Hydropool Hot tubs has changed the way Hot tubs are made in North America. Most Hot tub companies just manufacture hot tubs, spray fiberglass and resins, use plastics and steel without much regard for the environment, except to follow EPA guidelines. Hydropool has changed the way Hot Tubs in Ontario Canada, North America and the world should be made. Hydropool has figured out the Carbon Foot print of the Hot Tub and uses Carbon Offset credits to have a Carbon Neutral Hot Tub.

So now Hydropool has completed the cycle. Years ago they introduced to Canadians and then Americans and Europeans,  The Hydropool Self Cleaning Hot Tub, an industry first. Then Hydropool added a Salt Water Generator option to provide an environmentally friendly sanitation system. The system works by reusing the Salt to Generate the Sanitizer in the Hot Tub, eliminating the need to buy harsh chemicals such as chlorine and bromine.

Now with the Hydropool Ever Green Commitment the Ontario Canada based Hot tub Manufacturer has the Greenest Hot Tub in the World. Go to www.carbonneutralhottub for the full story, it’s a great website. Here’s a sample below evergreen_webpage

Hydropool Hot tubs, Spas, Swim Spas, and Aqua Play Pools are now the Greenest Product available in the Pool and Spa Industry. Mauufactured in Ontario canada, All Hydropool Hot tubs / Spas meet or exceed the California CEC standards for energy efficiency and have the Hydrowise designation Seal. The Hydropool Self Cleaning Spas, Aqua play Pools and Swim Spas, have met these stringent energy requirements for more than a year, as of January 2009 all spas and pools sold in California must meet this requirement, and other states are following quickly. Hydropool has always built their products for the harsh Canadian winters so meeting the standard was easy for an industry leader like Hydropool. Now Ontario Canada bases Hydropool is the Only Hot tub, Spa, Swim Spa and Play Pool that has a Carbon Neutral Foot print which means they have balanced the amount of materials and Carbon that is used to produce each product with Carbon Offset Credits that allow trees and wind power in North America to offset their production. This is a first in the pool and spa industry and for most industries, you’ll be hearing about Carbon Offset credits very soon in North America, the Europeans have been doing it for a long time. Also the addition of a salt water Chlorine Generator to a Hydropool hot tub, spa, etc gives an almost 95% self renewing source of sanitation, between these three initiatives Hydropool has just been tested and Received the Eco Friendly products Seal of Approval which will be issued in the premiere launch of biggest website initiative in the Eco products category. Ecofriendlyproducts.org supports all these initatives and believes providing customers with Products that are environmentally friendly and cost the same as non environmentally friendly products is an important step for North America’s and Canada’s  businesses to be involved in. North America is the largest consumer of goods on the planet, we need more Retailers, and Manufacturers like Hydropool Hot tubs Spas and Hydropool Industries Ontario Canada, to be on the cutting edge of insuring our children’s future for tomorrow while using the least amount of energy so we can enjoy today.www.hydropoolhottubs.com
