A swim spa is only useful once somebody has planned the last hundred metres of its journey. The Outdoor Swim Spa WS-130BⅬ arrives as a 9950 × 3000 × 1430 mm shell with pumps, jets, lighting and a swim unit inside it. If the slab, the power supply and the lifting route were not decided before the container was loaded, the unit sits on a driveway for weeks while drawings are redrawn. The steps below follow how we run these orders as a one-stop furniture and building materials supplier, from configuration sign-off to handover.
Start with the configuration, not the shipping date
The WS-130BⅬ sits inside a configurable swim and hydrotherapy range, and options change what has to be delivered and who installs what. Confirm them with our custom furniture and interior products manufacturer team before production starts:
- Heating. A heat pump changes the electrical load and adds plant that needs a location, drainage and access for servicing. Confirm whether it ships with the spa or arrives separately.
- Filtration. Sand filtration takes up more footprint than an inline filter arrangement and needs its own position on the deck or in a plant room.
- Water treatment. Ozone is listed as a feature on this model; UV sterilization is a catalog option. Both need a mounting point and power.
- Insulation and steps. Insulation affects how the shell sits relative to the finished deck level, and steps change the clear area you need around the entry side.
- Control system. Confirm where the control position will be, because that determines cable routes and who is responsible for the final connection.
Availability and compatibility of options vary by model. Lock them down in writing before production, because a late change to heating or filtration usually means a revised electrical design on site.
Site preparation: what has to be finished before the spa lands
Work backwards from the delivery date. The following must be complete and signed off by local trades, not assumed:
| Item | What to settle early |
|---|---|
| Foundation and slab | A level, structurally adequate base sized to the shell footprint plus working clearance. A local engineer should design it for your soil, deck build-up and local requirements; we supply the unit dimensions, not the structural design. |
| Electrical supply | Plan around a 10.85 kW total machine load plus any heat pump or optional equipment. A licensed electrician sizes the supply, protection and earthing to local wiring rules and signs off the installation. |
| Access and lifting route | Measure gate widths, overhead obstruction such as pergolas and power lines, and the turning space for a crane or for a manual walk-in route. A shell nearly ten metres long cannot be manoeuvred like a piece of furniture. |
| Drainage and services | Overflow, drain-down and any plant-room routing should exist before the shell is positioned, because they are very hard to add afterwards. |
Shipping: how a unit this size actually travels
Our logistics and door-to-door delivery page covers freight forwarding by sea, air and rail, together with packaging and container loading plans, commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin and other import paperwork, shipment tracking and delivery to the site. For a swim spa this stage needs three extra confirmations:
- Loading plan. How the shell is packed, whether accessories such as steps, heat pump or filtration ship in the same container, and which crate opens first on site.
- Incoterms and responsibility split. Agree in writing who books the crane, who clears customs, and where our delivery obligation ends and your local arrangements begin.
- Delivery window matched to site readiness. Import terms, duties and transit time vary case by case. Do not fix a delivery date until the slab has cured and the electrical rough-in is complete.
Cargo insurance options and a dedicated logistics coordinator are part of how we run project shipments; confirm the cover you want on a unit this size when the order is placed.
Installation: who does what, agreed in advance
Our installation and after-sales support page covers on-site installation, inspection and snag lists, warranty coverage, spare parts or replacement, and ongoing maintenance. On a WS-130BⅬ project the practical split usually looks like this:
| Scope | Typical responsibility |
|---|---|
| Unloading, lifting and positioning onto the base | Planned jointly. Crane or lift route is agreed with your site team before the truck arrives. |
| Assembling spa components, control system, swim unit, jets and lighting | From our side, with site access provided. |
| Supply, connection and testing of power to the unit | Your licensed local electrician, to local wiring rules. |
| Slab, deck, drainage and any plant-room pipework | Your local builder and plumber. |
| Commissioning, fill, first run and snag list | Walked through together, with items recorded before handover. |
Put that split into the contract as a scope table. Most swim spa delays we see are not manufacturing problems; they are two trades each waiting for the other to finish something nobody had assigned.
Commissioning and handover
Before the site is handed over, run a short checklist with whoever will operate the spa:
- Confirm each item on the signed configuration is present: control system, swim training system, water pump, filter pump, jet count and LED fittings.
- Verify filtration and water-treatment equipment runs and cycles correctly, including the ozone function listed for this model.
- Check lighting circuits and any optional accessories against the order sheet.
- Record measured electrical readings at the connection point, so later service visits have a baseline.
- Photograph nameplates and log model, serial numbers and the configuration you ordered; spare parts requests go much faster with them.
- Agree maintenance routine and warranty terms in writing, including what is covered, what is excluded and how a fault is reported.
Response times and warranty conditions are commercial terms, so read the paperwork for your order rather than assuming a standard package applies to your project.
If the spa is part of a wider villa or resort package
Very often the swim spa is one line in a longer list that also covers outdoor furniture, pergolas and hardtops, bathroom ceramics, lighting and flooring. Sequencing matters: the spa needs its slab and power early, while patio furniture and loose pieces can arrive later without holding up building work. Our turnkey solutions for villa, hospitality and office projects cover design consultation and space planning, material selection and product specification, manufacturing and quality control, project management and site coordination, then final installation and handover, so a single package can be phased across several container loads instead of one delivery that nobody can receive.
SANTERSON has been operating as a turnkey furniture and building materials company in China since 2008, with offices in Foshan, Vietnam, Singapore and Johannesburg. If you are specifying a WS-130BⅬ for a project, send us the site drawings, the configuration you want and your target handover date, and we will come back with a production and delivery plan that matches what your site can actually take.
