How  to care for your spa's shell

From this simple wooden barrel hot tub to today's sophisticated spas, the container holding the water has always eventually failed, until now.

Starting in early '2000', our factory moved from making spa shells the way "every one does" to the way "every one will".

Up to that point, the technology for producing a spa shell was stagnant and every manufacturer used fiberglass as the foundation for the shells strength and durability.

This is fiberglass being installed onto a spa shell.

While it was true that a spas shell (at least the fiberglass part) would probably never crack, the pretty part (the acrylic surface, the color) would always eventually blister and peal away. This is called de-lamination and is very common. Manufacturers of this type shell will go to many extremes to reduce the flexing of there shell, like this:

This popular brand incorporates steel into their construction, compensating for the lack of strength and shell integrity. This is what prompted us to adapt a system already in use in other applications for our new spa shell.

Our process is called "Black Diamond Tri-Matrix Technology". It consists of the same cast acrylic surface (the pretty part) but instead of fiberglass as the sub surface strength, we bond the acrylic to a high impact A.B.S. substrate and then overlay that with a "Polymeric Ceramic" enhanced foundation called "Black Diamond".

This is black diamond being installed on a spa. Notice the "high tech" appearance of the installation process versus the fiberglass installation images above.

This is the strongest most durable spa shell in the world and comes with a Lifetime Guarantee. It is truly space age technology.

Another place you can find a ceramic foundation is:

If you ever wondered why meteorites burn up entering our atmosphere but the space shuttle does not, here is the answer. This same technology is available in many other appliances today and is the premier product available for insulation and strength.
