American Whirlpool Swim Spas

Northern Exposure is a unique thermal barrier technology that recycles free heat energy for more efficient heating. All four sides of the spa, plus the floor and cover are lined with copper material to reflect radiant heat energy generated from the pumps back into the spa.

Heat is then absorbed by the plumbing, helping to maintain water temperature. Finally, the entire exterior of the hot tub is wrapped in 3M Thinsulate Insulation, the same incredible material utilized in winter clothing. This three-layer patented system ensures the energy created by the spa stays in the spa.

The Northern Exposure Insulation System features eco-friendly BlueMAAX® insulation. Made from recycled natural fiber it is approved by the U.S. Green Building Council. The insulation contains no chemical irritants, is treated with a borate-based solution to prevent mold/mildew growth, pest infestation, and acts as a fire retardant. BlueMAAX replaces urethane foam commonly used in “foam filled” hot tubs. The “foam filling” process in conventional spas can produce as much as 50 lbs. of volatile organic components (VOC’s) that are harmful to the environment. The new energy system also allows for easy service access and can be taken out and put back together to factory specifications right in your home.
