The cost of most swim spas will depend on the size, specs, brand, where it’s made, and retailer. But you can find swim spas from about $25,000 to $60,000+. Some brands charge a premium to pay for their marketing or you’ll find many retailers with inflated margins. Vortex sets the pricing at a manufacturers level, ensuring maximum value for an impressively built spa. So you’ll find Vortex swim spas from $21,999 to $39,999 and Swim Fit swim spas from $23,399 to $48,999 (current sale prices in CAD; prices can change).
Yes, swim spas also known as 4 season pools are designed to run 365 days a year. Built much like a hot tub, with insulation and a large in-line heater, plus a thick insulated cover, swim spas are great any time of year.
Swim spas contain a very large amount of water, and the cost of heating that water can be significant. We estimate that you’ll spend between $100 and $200 a month running your swim spa. Chemicals add about $50 a month.
Swim spas need a dedicated 220–240 V supply, and the amperage depends on the model. For example, the Swim Fit Riverpace 15 and 19 need 60 A, the Riverpace Dual Zone needs two 30 A circuits, the Olympian needs two 40 A circuits and the Riverpace Dual EX needs 110 A in total. Share your model’s spec sheet with your electrician; we can recommend electricians in Calgary. Shopping for a hot tub too? See our hot tubs in Calgary.
Yes, on our dual-zone models. A standard single-zone swim spa is one body of water, so the water mixes to one temperature. The Vortex Hydrozone Pro+ Dual Zone has separate therapy, relaxation and swim zones, with different temperature settings in each zone. The Swim Fit Riverpace Dual Zone has distinct areas for relaxation and swimming, with the option to set a different temperature in each zone. The Swim Fit Riverpace Dual EX has a 15-foot swim area and a 6-foot hot tub zone.
For swimming we recommend around 90 degrees fahrenheit or 32 degrees celsius. Though a swim spa can get just as hot as a hot tub at 104 degrees fahrenheit or 40 degrees celsius. Keeping your swim spa at a lower temperature will also make it less costly to run from an electricity and chemical perspective. Keep in mind that heating a swim spa only a few degrees will take many hours as the amount of water is so large.
Depending on the size of the swim spa and the size of the heater, a swim spa can take as long as 48 hours to reach full temperature.
It is a good idea to always have an extra filter on hand so that you can easily change the filter when it becomes dirty. You should rinse your filters every 30 days. Every 60 days you should submerge the filters in filter cleaner overnight to release any biofilms and to deep clean your filter.
