Frequently Asked Questions

Q:Which type of system will give me the best therapeutic value? A:The cyclonic spa delivers maximum thereapeutic massage. Q:Can I use bath oils, salts and soaps in my system? A:Niagra recommends the use of all bath products in both the jetted and cyclonic systems. These systems force water through the jets so while the unit is running it is also cleansing. Also, pipes are serviceable by doing a regular flushing using detergent/disinfectant. Contrary to popular belief, the seal on the pump (which is ceramic) will not be damaged with the use of bath products. Air systems, on the other hand, force air through its jets. When the system is idle, bath products can seep into the system and with no way to cleanse (pipes are unservicable), creates an environment that allows for buildup. Q:How noisy is the system? A:Jetted and cyclonic spas have very low noise levels. Air systems have the highest noise level. Q:How long will my water stay hot? A:Generally, the jetted and cyclonic system will retain heat, depending on fill temperature, for approximately 15-20 minutes. Air systems cool at a quicker rate, usually 10-15 minutes.
