What Are The Parts of a Beachcomber Hot Tub?


Beachcomber hot tubs are synonymous with quality and durability—and it’s all thanks to their superior components. Let’s meet the key parts of these hot tubs and find out what makes them special:

  • Hot Tub Pump: Often considered the heart of the hot tub, the pump circulates water through the filtration system, ensuring it remains clean and warm. Beachcomber pumps are designed for efficiency and durability, using advanced technology to minimize energy consumption while maximizing performance.

  • Heater: This component maintains the desired water temperature, crucial for a relaxing soak. Beachcomber hot tubs come with high-efficiency heaters that rapidly heat water, reducing wait times and energy costs—because luxury doesn’t have to wait or make you break the bank.

  • Control Panel: Say hello to the brain of your hot tub. The control panel allows you to adjust the temperature, jets, and lighting. Beachcomber’s digital control panels are user-friendly and equipped with smart technology for precise control over your spa experience. You’re just a few taps away from customizing your own little paradise to perfection.

  • Jets: These provide the therapeutic massage experience that hot tubs are so famous for. Beachcomber jets are engineered with ergonomic designs that offer customizable massage patterns and intensities, enhancing the therapeutic benefits.

  • Filters: Essential for trapping debris and impurities, filters keep the water clean and safe. Beachcomber uses Microfilter™ technology, capturing even the smallest particles to ensure crystal-clear water unlike any other.

  • Shell: This is the visible part of the tub that provides structural support and comfort. Beachcomber shells are constructed with multi-layer fibreglass for superior strength and insulation. It’s why they’re so energy–efficient and durable.

  • Cabinet: The exterior frame that houses the tub and components, often made from wood or synthetic materials. Beachcomber cabinets are designed with weather-resistant materials and stylish finishes, so they bring both durability and aesthetics to the table.

  • Ozone Generator: An optional component that sanitizes water by generating ozone gas, reducing the need for chemical sanitizers. Beachcomber’s ozone systems are highly efficient, promoting a healthier spa environment with minimal chemical use.

  • Hot tub cover: One of the most sought-after accessories out there, you can use a hot tub cover to protect your investment from the elements even further. 

Regular Maintenance: Tools and Supplies to Keep Your Beachcomber Hot Tub In Check

 

  • Water Testing Kit: Make sure to check the water and chemical balance regularly to ensure everything is functioning correctly. The Beachcomber Water Test Strips with APP Function allow you to assess your hot tub’s water quality in as fast as 15 seconds. It’ll tell you right away if it’s safe, comfortable, and ready for use. By using a small water sample, you can easily check your Chlorine or Bromine Sanitizer levels, Total Alkalinity, Total Hardness, and pH level. As a hot tub owner, always keep in mind that monitoring your water chemistry is crucial for a safe soaking experience for the whole family.

  • Replacement Filters: Having spare filters on hand means you can quickly swap out dirty ones, keeping your water clean without interruption. The Beachcomber Microfilter is the key to maintaining clean and clear hot tub water. Discreetly tucked away in a dedicated reservoir, these microfilters operate silently, continuously removing impurities from the water and safeguarding the pumping equipment around the clock. Regularly check the hot tub filter as part of your maintenance schedule to maintain optimal performance. 

 

 

 

  • Jet Cleaners: Specialized cleaners help remove deposits and clogs from the jets, maintaining their performance and prolonging their lifespan. They help remove accumulated biofilm, scale, and debris that can clog jets and affect their performance and make your hot tub experience feel…well, not-so-luxurious. Regular use of jet cleaners ensures optimal jet function and maintains the therapeutic benefits of your hot tub.

  • pH Balancers: Keeping the water’s pH level balanced prevents corrosion and scaling, ensuring the longevity of your hot tub parts. You wouldn’t want this smart investment to go to waste, just because of a lack of balanced mineral levels. 

That’s where PH Plus by Beachcomber comes in. It regulates the chemical properties of your hot tub water so it remains neither too alkaline nor too acidic. It helps maintain the correct pH range of 7.2 to 7.8 which will prevent eye irritation, corrosion, scaling and staining, helping to increase the efficiency of the sanitizer.

  • Hot Tub Chemicals: The Beachcomber Chlor Discs are here to control bacteria and algae in your hot tub water. Because you don’t want to be relaxing alongside these organisms, this slow-dissolving chlorine tablet eliminates bacteria, viruses, algae, and pathogens in the water. Plus, it also prevents the future growth of these harmful organisms.

 

 

 

 

  • Silicone Lubricant: Useful for lubricating O-rings and seals, preventing leaks and maintaining a tight seal on components.

  • Screwdriver Set: A basic tool kit with screwdrivers helps you open panels and access components for inspection and minor repairs if the rare need ever arises.

  • Vacuum Apparatus: Keep your hot tub clean with a small, handheld vacuum designed by Beachcomber.. Removing debris and dirt from the bottom of the tub is now as easy as 1-2-3.

  • Towel or Cloth: For cleaning and drying surfaces during maintenance, ensuring no moisture affects electrical components.
