Vortex Cobalt

Intelligent thermal tuning

No two spas are the same when it comes to thermal performance and heat retention. The Vortex control system will adapt and tune itself to the thermal properties of your spa pool and its environment, day to day, season to season, this will reduce 'on-demand heating'.

The Vortex control system actually 'learns' the behaviour of your spa. By reducing the temperature drop required before the heater switches on, Reactive Heater Control provides more consistent spa water temperatures and lowers your daily operating costs.

Smart meter ready

Simply put, a smart electricity meter allows your electricity supplier to charge higher prices for electricity when demand is high, but reward consumers who shift their consumption to those times of day when demand is low - such as overnight.

Using Power Save software, your Vortex spa is designed to do it's filtering and heating when power costs are at their lowest. Best of all, total control is in your hands. You can tailor the operation of your Vortex spa to take advantage of smart meter technology to further reduce your spa's running costs.

High density foam locking cover

Every Vortex Spa comes with a custom fitted, high density foam locking cover.

Heat rises, so it makes sense to get the very best insulation on the top of your spa. Your Vortex high density foam cover locks onto your spa. This seals the heat in along with the added safety of keeping the kids out!

Built to withstand 80kgs of weight and made from ultra UV resistant vinyl and high density foam. When looked after it will give you years of exceptional service.

Perimeter insulation

The Vortex perimeter insulation system has two features that make it superior to the traditional ‘foam on shell’ spa insulation system.

First, by insulating the cabinet instead of the shell, Vortex spas recycles lost heat from the pumps and equipment, it also insulates the plumbing that would otherwise lose heat to the environment. This results in less overall heat loss and therefore, lower running costs.

And secondly, by placing the insulation between the spa's pumps and you, you'll enjoy a quieter, more tranquil and restful spa experience.

Arctic pack

The Vortex Arctic pack increases the perimeter insulation to 50mm. This system offers the ultimate level of insulation and is extensively used on Vortex Spas sold in regions with extreme climates such Scandinavia and Canada.

Dual layer insulation

The Vortex dual layer insulation covers both the outer cabinet and the shell. This is the most efficient way to insulate. It traps air and uses the same principles as those utilised by modern double glazed windows.

Vortex dual layer system keeps the heat from the pumps and plumbing, reduces noise and provides a warm layer between the water and the outside of the spa. Adding the optional dual layer insulation adds a higher level of heat retention than the standard Perimeter insulation.

Hybrid Heat Pump

Adding a Vortex Hybrid Heat Pump to your spa will give you the lowest possible heating costs.

Reduce heating costs

A conventional spa pool heater turns 1 kilowatt of electricity into 1 kilowatt of heat. The Vortex hybrid heat pump turns 1 kilowatt of electricity into 5 kilowatts of heat, giving you up to 4 kilowatts of heat for free!

Even accounting for the cost of running your pumps, overall running costs will be slashed by more than 50%. Over the life of your spa, this will lead to savings of thousands of dollars.

Heating Type	kWh	Cost per kWh	Total Cost (24hr)	Saving
Conventional spa pool heater	8.5	$0.26	$2.21	0%
Hybrid Heat pump standard	3.7	$0.26	$0.96	56%
Hybrid heat pump with Power Save	3.7	$0.116+	$0.49	73%

Cools your spa too

Not only will the Vortex Hybrid Heat Pump heat your spa economically. It will also cool your spa efficiently and effectively. In hotter climates, when other spas will be unbearable, your Vortex spa will be an oasis of cool water to refresh and recharge.

Dual hybrid heating

The Vortex Hybrid Heat Pump is the only spa pool heat pump available that works in tandem with the spas conventional heater. This gives you up to a massive 12 kilowatts of heating power when rapid heat recovery is required.
