Hot tub Construction and Components

Thermoform Video
We begin with Lucite® Cast Acrylic
Then add three layers of hand-rolled fiberglass
A layer of foam insulation
And a full, pressure-treated plywood bottom

You see, at Parker Spas, we go above and beyond manufacturing standards to ensure each Hot Tub exceeds your expectations.

But to truly discover how each Hot Tub is molded, we’re providing you with the opportunity to take a rare video glimpse into the high-tech process known as “thermoform.”

Insulation

All Parker Spas hot tubs are insulated with the ReflectoTherm insulation system.  ReflectoTherm consists of a reflective thermal barrier on the cabinet panels and a layer of high density foam on the shell.  This creates a trapped air space under the spa.  Reflective insulation is designed to contain RADIANT heat. Radiant heat travels through space from a warm surface to a cooler surface. The reflective barrier contains up to 97% of the radiant heat that is generated from the spas equipment and also insulates the spa against cold temperatures.  Regular bulk insulation (fiberglass, foam, etc.) will only contain 10 – 20% of the heat generated by the spa.  Furthermore, bulk insulation will only slow hot and cold transfer it will not block it.  ReflectoTherm insulation system insulates the spa from the outside elements, and creates one of the most efficient spas on the market.
