HOW HOWHOW YOUR ARUBA YOUR ARUBAYOUR ARUBA SP SPSPA AA IS BUIL IS BUILIS BUILT TT At Aruba, building spas is our passion. We believe that quality through simplicity is the best way to build a spa. Over the years we have refined our spa construction process to achieve the best results. We are proud of the results that we have achieved using the methods described below and hope that knowing how your spa is made will make installing and operating it easier. The building process starts with the shell of the spa. At Aruba Spas we use the thickest acrylic sheet available. Using a thicker acrylic sheet is important because the spa shell is formed by placing a heated acrylic sheet over a vacuum-former, which molds it into the shape of the spa. As the acrylic sheet is formed it stretches and thins. Using a thicker acrylic sheet ensures a stronger and more durable surface. Fiberglass backing is then applied to provide structural support for the acrylic shell. A triple bond system is used to ensure a complete bond is formed between the acrylic spa shell and the fiberglass structural support. A unique type of resin is applied as a skin coat to the outside surface of the spa shell. This skin coat is then backed by an additional layer of fiberglass reinforced resin. The skin coat forms a chemical bond between the acrylic spa shell and the fiberglass structural support. This triple bond system ensures the long lasting integrity of both the spa shell and spa surface. After fiberglassing, the holes for the jets are precision drilled through the spa shell. The rough surface of the fiberglass backing around the holes is then machined and smoothed. We take this extra step in manufacturing to ensure the jets seat against a smooth surface for a tight fit and seal. The plumbing system is then installed and lines are attached to each of the jets. A manifold is installed at each junction between the main plumbing line and the lines leading to the jets. Running a short line from the manifold directly beneath the jets provides the best water pressure and allows the jets to operate at their full capacity. Once the spa is plumbed it is water tested as part of our quality inspection process to ensure that there are no leaks. The spa shell is then lowered into the framed cabinet or “spa skirt”. At Aruba Spas we use this innovative process to ensure the structural integrity of our spas. Wooden supports are then custom fitted by hand to the areas underneath the seats and stairs to provide additional strength to these areas. This process recognizes that every spa is not identical and ensures individual inspection and custom fitting of each spa. The spa shell is then insulated with 2 LB closed cell foam. As Aruba Spas are made in Canada we know Canadian weather conditions. With this in mind we use enough insulation to get the maximum obtainable R factor from our insulating foam. The use of closed cell foam ensures that water cannot be absorbed into the insulation. The insulation also locks all supports into place and secures the spa to the spa frame. The electronic operating system, which controls the heating, filtration and lighting systems is then installed and pre-tested in our factory. We have selected...
