A proprietary hot tub engineering design that creates an internal cage structure. This structure is strong enough to easily bear the weight of itself, the water and bathers.

• Beachcomber Hot Tubs are overbuilt internally with engineered structural components.

A unique and proprietary blend of materials called ‘Glassloc’ is used to strengthen and make rigid the underside of the cast acrylic sheet. Glassloc is hand rolled with a special steel tool to ensure that air is removed from the mixture and proper bonding takes place between the Glassloc and the cast acrylic sheet.

• Superior structure is achieved by hand rolling this special Glassloc fiberglass formula of fiberglass backing. Once adhered to the acrylic sheet, a 16 hour curing period in a controlled environent is required to properly age the mixture to ensure adhesion.
• Glassloc gives the toughest, most durable material to make a high quality structure. Other products requiring long term rigidity to weather the elements are made the same way, such as sailboats and watercraft.

Small plastic fittings are used during the production and shipping process to cap off both the electrical access tubes. These small fittings prevent intrusion by rodents or insects and further protects the hot tub until proper installation takes place.

• Conduit protectors made of flexible PVC plastic.

Acuralux forms the tactile, pleasing and usable finish surface of a Beachcomber Hot Tub. This highly durable and colorfast composite plastic is designed for a lifetime of use and enjoyment.

• The Acuralux finish plastic sheet is transformed into the main body shell of the hot tub through a complex heating and forming process called Thermoforming. This flat sheet of acrylic material is super-heated using 64 different digitally programmed heating zones. Once to temperature, the heated sheet is vacuum formed using a series of multiple suctions, to become the main shell of the hot tub, providing multi-level seating.
• Three finishes are offered by Beachcomber; a smooth to the touch marble finish, a pebble style granite finish, and a metallic, slightly pebbled, upgraded finish. These finishes give Beachcomber buyers the choices they want to enjoy their hot tub.

AutoKlean is a continuous cleaning and filtration action design, centering in the footwell area of the hot tub. This system uses Hush Sweepers. When Hush Sweepers are pointed towards the floor, they create a whirlpool effect that gently pushes and agitates debris to allow the suction(s) to trap the debris. This continuous movement removes the debris from the hot tub footwell for elimination during the draining process.

• When the hot tub is drained using the Gravity Floor Drain, sand and other debris that is collected in the pipes are flushed out from the continuous 24/7 AutoKlean system action.
• Synonyms: filtration, cleaning, Microfilter, suction, draining.

In line plumbed Suction Fittings serve to promote safe, efficient, continuous filtration, as well as removal of sand and debris from the footwell floor. Suction fittings create mild turbulence on the floor of the hot tub’s footwell, gently drawing and pushing debris towards the suctions and the Gravity Drain fitting.

• This gentle water action contributes to water clarity and cleanliness.

The Microfilter is a cylindrical, fiber-finned filtration unit that filters hot tub water. The Microfilter is designed as a one piece, integrated unit to fit within the beginning of the water flow system, before the heater and pump. It is preceded by and capped with a Microfilter Basket to trap larger materials such as leaves, lint, hair and other debris from entering the heating chamber. The main function of the Microfilter is to trap the smallest of debris, and is a major contributor to the clarity of the hot tub water.

• The Microfilter is an integrated, cartridge unit that fits into the Microfilter Canister, which is located in one corner of all Beachcomber Hot Tubs.
• The Microfilter is the main source of filtration medium in a Beachcomber Hot Tub. 3. The Microfilter cartridge seats and locks itself firmly into place on to the Filter Alignment Sleeve, located at the bottom of the Microfilter Canister, preventing any movement.
• I will remove the Microfilter from the hot tub and clean it. Removable Microfilter. Microfilter Cartridge. Microfilter Cleaning Canister.

Programmable Cycle Settings control the functions of the hot tub by depressing buttons on the topside main control pad. These functions include temperature adjustments, warming and cooling action, heating modes, standby and economy modes, filtration cycles, inversion, locking, reminders and other main functions.

• You can preset the hot tub to accept your predetermined needs for all functions.
• There are two filtration cycles per 24 hour period. These are programmable to allow you to run your chosen start and end times to match your routines at home.

Cab Forward is a construction methodology unique to Beachcomber. This involves placing all hot tub electrical and pumping equipment outside the shell, cavity and cabinet of the spa. Equipment is specially designed to be housed outside the cavity for use underneath a safety entry/exit protective step.

• Engineering Cab Forward Equipment means that the placement of equipment is outside of the spa cavity, cabinet and shell. Typical equipment placement with many spa manufacturers is inside the spa cabinetry which can lead to overheating; Beachcomber’s unique, external Cab Forward equipment design has been in use since 1983, first appearing as Protec, and known today as Hybrid3.
• Cab forward; Hybrid3™; energy efficient; easy serviceability; SafeAxiss Steps; quick disconnect union kit; isolation serviceability valves.

Beachcomber’s proprietary method of insulating a hot tub, to provide maximum energy efficiency and structural integrity. This unique spray foam method utilizes an expanding open cell foam material, and is blown into the cavity of the hot tub during factory production, using a water process. The operator dispenses the foam to layer and fill the hot tub cavity. This expanding foam fills every crevice and potential air space, completely sealing and encapsulating all open space inside the hot tub cavity.

This foaming process is performed to world class standards now used for many modern energy efficient homes favored over the older batt-style insulation, and allows Beachcomber to provide an energy efficient, integrated unit that will perform in any climate in the world.

• Unlike bat-style, rolled or flat insulation similar to that used in the walls of modern North American homes, Beachcomber’s spray foam insulation is water blown initially as a sticky substance. This sticky substance takes some minutes to cure after application; when cured, it adheres permanently to the desired surface to completely seal.
• Unlike thermo-foil style roll insulation that is loosely placed within many spa cavities today, Beachcomber’s spray foam insulation fills and sticks permanently to every available open space.
• Beachcomber’s Spray Foam Injection prevents the movement of moisture or air both in, and out of the cavity. This prevention of air and moisture movement allows the hot tub to retain its heat to the core of the vessel, saving money on energy costs and providing the correct experience with ready, hot water for the hot tub owner along with superior energy efficiency.

Knife style valves, or Gate Valves, are built into Beachcomber’s pumping equipment. These valves are designed to isolate hot tub water in the hot tub, allowing the equipment to be removed in the event of required service. The preservation of heated water is important to save energy and money for the home owner; Isolation Serviceability Valves (ISVs) allow equipment removal without draining the water.

• Isolation Serviceability Valves prevent the loss of heated water upon needed service. Close the Knife Valves and isolate the hot tub water to allow removal of the pump for service and/or cleaning.
