You will be able to read how our spas are made and further understand why Diamante Spas has become the "diamond of spas ". Read the following paragraphs to understand why Diamante Spas is the spa of choice. A. Acrylic Surface Different finishes are offered by Diamante Spas. You have the choice of the Lucite XL Marble and Gemstone Acrylic, Lucite XL Natural Granite Series or the Celestial Granite Series with the antibacterial agent Microban ®. Go to Our Showroom page, then to the Colors and Textures page to see the different colors. B. Spa Shells The resins and fiberglass we use on our Diamante Spas are of marine grade quality standards. This helps us ensure that only the best materials are going into our spa shells. Before we apply the hand - rolled coats of fiberglass on every spa shell. We first apply by hand, the base coat of a specially formulated resin that is used to bond to plastics. This resin is called Vinyl Ester. Secondly, the structural fiberglass will adhere itself to the Vinyl Ester, giving us the strongest bond possible. C. Wood Mill Diamante Spas is the first and only spa manufacturer to own and operate a complete wood molding operation. By us doing this process in house, we can control the quality of our redwood panels or what we call skirt panels. Unlike other manufacturers, we do not depend on mills for the wood to be designed or molded. We purchase the raw lumber and finish it to a furniture grade quality unmatched by any manufacturer. D. Support Frames All Diamante Spas are supported by the strongest frames possible. Our frames are made entirely out pressure treated 2" x 3" studs. These studs will not only support the entire weight of the spa with water and its occupants, but it can also resist mildew, rotting, moisture, and pests. The frames are bolted to the spa by using wood blocks that are fiber - glassed to the spa shell. This will keep the spa in its place, especially during freight and delivery. E. Insulation Diamante Spas are the only spas on the market that uses 5 different insulating materials working together to better insulate the spa from heat loss and reduce sound and vibration. We call this process the Diamante Insulation TM 1. Winter -Pak FoamT"'; is a polyurethane foam that we spray on the spa and on all of its plumbing fixtures, hoses, and lines preventing heat loss and securing various items together to reduce vibration. The R -value on Diamante Spas is about an R -19. 2. Hot Air Space TM; is an engineered gap or space of air in between the Winter -Pak FoamT'" and the Thermos -Foil Insulation TM on the skirt panels. This space of air is needed to let the pumps breathe. In addition, the hot air that is exhausted from the pumps circulates around the Winter -Pak FoamTm and in between of the Thermos -Foil InsulationT"'. Creating an additional insulator. By using what otherwise have been wasted energy, we have collected this energy and converted it into the second part of our 5 insulating materials. 3. Thermos -Foil Insulation TM ; is an insulating air bubble wrap sandwiched between two heat reflective foil sheets that are attached to the panels. The hot exhausted air from the Hot Air Space now circulates in between the Winter -Pak FoamTm and the Thermos -Foil Insulation TM , creating a double -pane window effect. The radiant heat of the pumps and the spa reflects off the inside facing foil and is reflected back to the spa. Likewise, is the outside facing foil, which reflects the radiant heat from the sun out into the atmosphere. The air - bubbles trapped in between the reflective foils, is another trapped air space like the Hot Air Space which adds to further insulate the spa and each panel. 4. Plywood Backing; on the skirt panels not only adds to the strength and insulation, now the skirt panels become airtight. By doing so, the inside air stays in and the outside air stays out reducing drafts that may cool the Hot Air SpaceT'" 5. Panels; of redwood siding or the Endless Glass PanelsTm is not only what completes the spa and finishes the beautiful skirt paneling, but is also the final insulating factor before the spa's heat is lost into the atmosphere. (Side view of a panel showing (right to left) the Thermos -foil insulation, plywood backing, and finally the tongue and groove redwood siding or could be the Endless Glass PanelSTM) F. Endless Glass PaneISTM Diamante Spas is proud to announce the newest of its creations, the only spa on the market to offer a true long lasting maintenance -free synthetic spa skirting, the Endless Glass PaneISTM. This new spa skirting is entirely made out of the same marine grade quality materials that go into making our spa shells and also offshore fiberglass boats and yachts. The Endless Glass PaneISTM consist of the four side panels (fully removable), four round corners, and a one - piece top rail. All of these components are molded out of marine grade gelcoat (available in red or gray), hand rolled fiberglass and still backed by the plywood backing (for strength) and the Thermos -Foil Insulation TM (for added insulation). This skirting is also the strongest and most durable of any of the synthetic or composite spa skirting on the market. If the Endless Glass PaneISTM were ever to get scratched or chipped, it can be repaired. Unlike the competitions that use high - density foam, extruded PVC, vinyl, etc, that once it is damaged it may not be able to be repaired. Maintenance on the Endless Glass Pane ISTM is the easiest of all. If the skirting were to get dirty, all you will need to do is hose it off with your garden hose. It is that easy. The Endless Glass Panels are only available on the Ixtapa, San Augustine, Mojave, Atlantis and Pharaoh models. The Endless Glass PaneISTM are the future of spa skirting, and you can get them only on Diamante Spas. Endless Glass PanelsTM G. Bottom Shields All Diamante Spas have a plastic shield on the bottom of all our spas to shield it from pests and the weather. This shield also finishes off the spa for a cleaner finished look. H. Diamante Ultimate Filtration SystemTM Most Diamante Spas are standard with dual filters that are easily accessible from the top. In addition, to last year's skimmer door and 60 square foot filters; we have made a great leap in making sure that your spa water is clean by quadrupling the filter capacity. New for 2003, on selected spa models we have made the Diamante Ultimate Filtration SystemTM with a total filtration capacity to an unheard of, 240 square feet. By developing new filters and in house molding technology we have been able to use two 120 square foot elements. This means that you can use your spa longer without having to always check your filters. We have added a skimmer door to the front of our new massive dual filters. This skimmer door was added to better help the filters draw and keep the dirt and debris in the filter bay. Now that the dirt and debris is trapped behind the skimmer door and in the filter bay, its only place to go is in the filters. Another benefit of the skimmer door is that when you have to change the filters, this will help you from accidentally dropping dirty water from the filters back into your clean spa water. Lift off the filter lid to have access to the filters (ice bucket and cup holders). Now you can remove the filter elements from the filter bay and the dirty water stays in the filter bay. When you put back the cleaned or new filter elements and turn on the spa the dirty water trapped in the filter bay is drawn back to the filters, where it belongs. I. Continuous Filtering+ SystemsTM Most Diamante Spas can also be equipped with our Continuous Filtering+ SystemsTM (standard in our 62 Jet Supreme Series Models ) or what is known as 24 -hour circulation systems. However, we do have a couple extra features that the others do not have. We use a 48 -frame pump that was developed exclusively for 24 -hour circulation systems. This pump is larger and in a side by side comparison is a more efficient circulation pump than those used on other spas. Other spa brands use a small aquarium like pump that can only do about half the job our system can. The pump Diamante Spas uses can filter, heat, ozone, and circulate the water. Our pump can push the water at a rate of about 50 gallons per minute, while only using about 0.63 amps on 230v. Our Continuous Filtering+ SystemTm has four different jobs working together to clean and keep your water clean. 1. Filters the water. The circulation pump pulls its water through the filters, creating a skimming action. This skimming action attracts the contaminants in the filters where it should be. 2. Heats the water. After the water has gone through the filters, the water is now pumped through the heater. The heater will only heat the water whenever the sensors ask for heat. The water is heated more efficiently, because the water is pumped through the heater at a constant and controlled flow. 3. Diamante Ozone SystemTm. Then 1/3 of the water is then diverted to our Diamante Ozone SystemTM to help oxidize contaminants in the water, helping to reduce the use of chlorine or bromine by as much as 50 %. To further explain this system read section K. 4. Circulate the water. The remaining 2/3 of the water pumped back into the bottom of the spa. The heated, filtered and ozone purified water comes up from the bottom of the spa, moving the water around the spa and eventually back into the filters. This is how our Continuous Filtering+ SystemTM works to make your Diamante Spa the cleanest most enjoyable spas on the market. J. Summer Logic A standard feature on Diamante Spas equipped with the Continuous Filtering System, is the safety feature we call Summer Logic. Summer Logic is a program only on our electronic controls, that helps prevent our Continuous Filtering+ SystemTM from overheating the spa's water. In addition, if the climate is too hot, it can also add heat to the water causing the Summer Logic program to engage. Here is how Summer Logic works, whenever the spa's water is 2 -3 degrees above the thermostat's setting, it will turn off the circulation pump. It will not turn the pump on, until the water's temperature is at the thermostat's setting. This way the spa's water is also at a safe temperature. K. Diamante Ozone SystemTM • Ozone Generator: The Diamante Ozone System"" starts with the ozone generator. The ozone generator we use on our Diamante Spas is a CD chip ozone generator developed by DEL Industries. The CD stands for Corona Discharge, which produces ozone by passing air through a corona. As the air passes through the corona it causes the two oxygen atoms (in normal oxygen molecule 02) to split into two free roaming oxygen atoms (01). Then one of the free roaming oxygen atoms collides with a normal oxygen molecule (02) and attaches itself, creating an ozone molecule (03). And this is ozone, the addition of an extra highly accelerated oxygen atom to the normal oxygen molecule (02). The third oxygen atom (01) is the oxidizer that will attack the bacteria's cell wall, and neutralizing it. Then the sanitizer (chlorine or bromine) destroys the bacteria. • Ozone Injector: Diamante Spas uses the patented Mazzei® Ozone Injector to start our ozone purification system. The patented design of the Mazzei® Ozone Injector receives the filtered water and is pushed through the injector body, where it then creates vacuum that pulls the ozone gas from the ozone generator and mixes the gas and water together. The mixture is sent through a 6 foot mixing line to keep the ozone gas mixing with the water. • Diamante Ozone Exchange Loop Tm : After the ozone gas and water mixture travels through the mixing line, the mixture then enters The Ozone Exchange Loop. What is the Diamante Ozone Exchange LoopTM? Diamante Spas developed a mixing loop that will further breakdown the ozone gas into even small gas bubbles to help increase the purification of the water. When the mixture enters the loop it immediately falls and begins to breakdown the ozone gas. After the ozone gas is further mixed with the water, the mixture now travels up the loop, and finally exits the loop and out to the mixing line for about another10 feet to keep the mixture in contact for its final destination. • Ozone Floor Jet /Drain: After the mixture of ozone gas and water has exited the Ozone Exchange Loop and through the mixing line the final destination is to reenter the spa's main body of water. The mixture enters the spa through the Ozone Floor Jet /Drain, which is located at the bottom - center of the spa. By introducing the mixture to the bottom of the spa, this gives the ozone gas the last place to fuse the remaining ozone gas with the water. You will be able to see the bubbles travel up from the Ozone Floor Jet /Drain at the bottom of the spa to the surface. The Ozone Floor Jet /Drain is also the bottom drain. When you drain your Diamante Spa, 80% of the water goes out through this drain. L. Air Bleed SystemTM Another, feature of Diamante Spas is our Air Bleed SystemT'". This system prevents air locks in the pumps and in the heater's exchange tube. The system only operates when you re -fill the spa with new water. As the new water fills the spa, you open the valve and the trapped air will escape from the system. It is that easy. This system can save pumps from destroying seals and burning bearings on the motors. Heaters will last longer since no air is trapped in its exchange tube causing it to fail. M. Pumps and Motors Diamante Spas uses pumps made from the industries largest and most reliable spa pump manufacturer, Aqua -Flo. These pumps are made to push the maximum amount of water at a constant pressure, while using the least amount of amps. For example: our new 5.0 Peak Horsepower (3.0 Continuous Duty) pump can pump about 207.4 gpm (gallons per minute) at 13.3 psi (pounds per square inch), while drawing 11.5 amps at 230 volts. You might be wondering what is Peak Horsepower? Peak Horsepower is the rating used to measure the initial start -up horsepower that the motor has for the first few second when it starts (most spa manufacturers use the Peak Horsepower rating for their marketing). Then the motor will go to Continuous Duty, which is the motor's true horsepower. When you ask a salesperson about Peak Horsepower on a spa, remember to ask them for the Continuous Duty Horsepower Also, ask them for the amp draw of each pump on high speed. High speed on a pump is the best massage. Remember to take into consideration, try to buy a spa with a pump(s) that can pump out the most water at about 13 to 15 psi, but with the lowest amp draw. High amperage pump(s) may be able to pump out more water, but are you willing to pay more a month for a pump that only sounds like a great deal? Most spa brands just tell you about the high Peak Horsepower and never mention the flow rates and usually never tell you about the amp draw. Ask the dealers about Peak Horsepower, continuous duty horsepower, flow rate, psi readings, and amp draws. Most knowledgeable dealers should know this or ask to see a brochure. Go to our Spa Packages page for this information. Just something to take into consideration. N. Supercharger Air SystemTM Diamante Spas were the first spas to introduce and use as standard equipment on selected packages our Supercharger Air SvstemT'" This system uses an air pump we call the Supercharger that injects pressurized air to one or two valves. These valves divert the air into two or more banks of jets. The pressurized air is injected into the jets giving the jets a stronger more penetrating muscle relaxing experience. Our Supercharger Air SystemTM will make every jet in the spa more powerful than any other spa on the market, but remember it is only when you want it. One other feature on the Supercharger Air System is that all the air that the jets draw is going through the Supercharger itself. So after the Supercharger has been running for a while, the motor is very hot. Well to cool the motor down so it may last longer, the air that the jets draw goes through the Supercharger and cools it down. Remember that all the air that is introduced into the spa comes from the Hot Air Space TM . Therefore, no cold outside air can cool the spa's water down. O. Barb - Clamping SystemTM Diamante Spas were also one of the first spas benefits from the barb system. However, we have improved the barb system to fit our plumbing designs. We produce the only spas that use the following procedure. All PVC fittings, jets, manifolds, and hoses are primered, glued, and clamped on every barbed in the system. This procedure is called the Barb - Clamping System TM. It ensures us that a solid permanent joint is made, so that it is virtually impossible to leak. Pressure (blue) & suction (red) oversized hose shown with the stainless steel clamps. Also the pump 1 jet hose (blue) & pump 2 jet hose (green) all clamped with their own double wire clamps. All using our Barb - Clamping SystemTM. P. Oversized Main Hose Another first for Diamante Spas is that we are the only ones to developed and use a new oversized main water transfer hose that is exclusive to Diamante Spas. Our oversized hose also benefits from our Barb - Clamping System. Our oversized hose coupled with primer, glue, and a stainless steel worm driven clamp to all the large 2 and 2 1 /2" suctions, filters, pumps, unions, diverter valves, and heater unions will ensure us that we do not have a leak. Especially, since these components are at the most powerful places of the plumbing system. Since, some of our pumps can pump over 207.4 gallons per minute and is instances at over an outstanding 21 -psi through our plumbing system. We needed to develop a hose and plumbing system that would be able to handle the stresses of these pumps. We have done so, and then over did it for good measure. Q. 100% Water Test Another feature that our customers benefit from is that all Diamante Spas are water tested. Every spa that we make must first be water tested before we apply our Winter -Pak FoamTM insulation. It is done this way so we did find a leak or a problem with a component; we could repair it, and re -test the spas before we can consider it as a finished product. Some other manufacturers only water test one out of every 5 or 10 spas in their line. They do this to keep the production line moving faster. This is how they can produce so many spas. Think about it, if the spa that they tested did not have a problem, how do they know that the spas before or after did or did not have a problem? This is why we water test all of our spas. We will take the extra time to finish the spa right. Do it right the first time and your customers will be happy that you did. We know that Diamante Spas have given you a lot of information about our manufacturing features to read take in all at once. However, you can see these features and ask the dealers nearest you any questions you may have regarding our spa. Take your time, a spa purchase should be a responsible and happy occasion. Remember a soaking in a spa will help you: Relax your body. Repair worn muscle, tendons, and /or joints. Sooth your mind of the every day bumps in life. Communicate with your loved ones. Thank you for taking the time to understand what goes into Diamante Spas.
