Master Spas has announced the debut of an app they say will take swim spa workouts to the next level. Designed to work with the company’s Michael Phelps Signature Swim Spas line, the SwimNumber App, or SNAPP, is an easy-to-use, customizable app that intuitively changes the speed of the water current at timed increments while the user is swimming. Metrics like distance, calories, time, etc. can be easily documented and stored. In addition, users can enjoy preprogrammed Smart Workouts (beginner, intermediate and advanced levels) and videos. With an optional waterproof case and a heavy-duty smart device mount, the user can conveniently position an iPad in the swim spa while exercising. SNAPP is available to download through the Apple App Store.

SeaKlear is pleased to offer a new shock oxidizer for spas in its popular water treatment pod format.

And because the SeaKlear Shock pods control the formation of chloramines, unpleasant odors are minimized or eliminated. This convenient toss-and-go pod dissolves in water — meaning no more measuring, waste and messy chemicals to touch and accidents to clean up, the company says.
DeltaUV, a leading manufacturer of ultraviolet technology in North America, now offers its low-pressure ultraviolet sanitizer (ELP Series) in a new high-density polyethylene (HDPE) material.

Easy to install and maintain, the ELP Series in HDPE is a perfect fit for high-end residential or smaller recreational pools with 50 gpm up to 400 gpm flow rates, the company says.
