A swim spa on a hotel or resort site is not a single line item on a purchase order. It is a wet structure with an electrical load, a plant room question, a delivery route and a commissioning date that all have to agree with each other. The Outdoor Swim Spa WS-S10-T sits in the long-lane end of our configurable outdoor swim and hydrotherapy range, and it is the model hospitality buyers most often ask us about when a project wants lap swimming plus hydrotherapy without building a full pool plant. The notes below follow the order we suggest you work through them.

Start with the lane, not the finish

The catalog dimensions for this model are 10000 × 2200 × 1420 mm. Read those three numbers as a design constraint before you read them as a product specification. A ten-metre shell needs a ten-metre clear run, plus working clearance at the ends for delivery and for whatever access panel arrangement the final configuration uses. The 2200 mm width is what allows continuous swimming against a swim training system in a footprint that fits beside a pool deck, on a terrace podium or along a garden edge where a conventional lap pool would not be practical.

The depth of 1420 mm matters for programming rather than aesthetics. It is comfortable for aqua-fit sessions, hydrotherapy and casual use by guests who are not strong swimmers, and it keeps water volume and heating load lower than a deep pool. Where a project needs diving depth or a full 25 m lane, that is a different structure and we will say so rather than stretch this model to cover it.

What the WS-S10-T configuration carries

The site specification for the WS-S10-T lists one control system, one swim training system, two water pumps, one filter pump, a jet total of 76 pieces, LED lighting with 40 small LED lights, and a total power figure of 7.65 kW. The features shown are water jets, LED lighting, ozone and the swim training system.

Two of those lines deserve attention in your tender documents. First, the -T suffix marks the swim training system as part of this configuration; the WS-S10 beside it shares the same shell dimensions and jet count but does not list that system in the captured specification. If lap performance is a selling point in your marketing, confirm which model is on the drawing. Second, treat 7.65 kW as a catalog figure for the listed configuration, not as the load you take to the electrical engineer. Add the heat pump, any optional UV sterilization and the control arrangement actually selected, then let your engineer size the supply, protection and cable from that combined figure.

Options that change the scope, not just the price

Catalog-listed options for this range include control systems, UV sterilization, water pumps, heat pumps, sand filtration, insulation and steps. Availability and compatibility vary by model, so each option needs confirming against the configuration you are ordering. In a hospitality setting three of them usually decide themselves:

• Heat pump. A spa that guests can use in shoulder season earns its floor area; one that is only comfortable in midsummer does not. The heat pump you choose determines the running cost the operator lives with for years.
• Filtration and sanitation. Ozone is shown as a feature on this model. Sand filtration and UV sterilization are listed options. Commercial bathing water has inspection and maintenance expectations, so agree the treatment train early and make sure the plant space supports it.
• Insulation and steps. Insulation is a running-cost decision in cooler climates. Steps are an access and guest-safety decision, and they affect the deck detail around the shell.

Site conditions to settle before you order

Most swim spa problems on hospitality projects trace back to five questions that were left open at quotation stage. Write the answers into your enquiry:

1. Structure and drainage. Who designs the supporting slab or pedestal base, what is the loaded weight including water, and how is overflow and maintenance drainage handled?
2. Electrical supply. Where does the isolator sit, what supply capacity is available at that point, and which local standards apply to a wet installation? Confirm included equipment and electrical requirements for the selected configuration with us before the first fix.
3. Cranage and delivery route. A ten-metre shell arriving on site needs an unobstructed path. Podium-level and rooftop installations in particular need the lift, crane and street-closure plan settled months ahead.
4. Deck interface. Who details the coping, the surrounding paving and the waterproofing junction to the shell?
5. Commissioning and handover. Which party fills, heats, tests and signs off the water systems, and what training does the operations team receive?

Assigning each of these to a named party in the contract is worth more than any clause about warranty periods.

Why hospitality buyers source this alongside other fit-out items

A swim spa rarely sits alone. Around it you need loungers, shade structures, a bar counter, changing-room joinery, vanity units, wall and ceiling finishes, and lighting — normally from four or five different suppliers, each with their own drawing submission date and delivery window. That is why SANTERSON is usually engaged as a one-stop furniture and building materials supplier rather than for the spa alone: the same team that produces the shell also supplies outdoor furniture, bathroom ceramics, wall panels, aluminium ceilings, cabinetry and lighting, so drawings, samples and shipments can be coordinated on one schedule instead of competing ones. Our service range lists custom furniture and interior products manufacturer work alongside logistics, installation support and after-sales support, which is where the joinery, vanities and finishes around the deck come from as well.

For an overseas project this coordination is where procurement risk actually sits. Our scope covers design and production through door-to-door delivery, with custom/OEM service, logistics, installation support and after-sales support named as part of the service range. We work to your project programme, and where a model or finish cannot meet a requirement on the drawing you should expect us to say so at quotation stage rather than after the deposit.

A practical sequence for the enquiry

If you are preparing a tender package now, this order keeps the critical path clear:

1. Send us the layout with the spa position, access route and structural note; we confirm whether the WS-S10-T configuration suits the setting or whether a shorter or deeper model in the range is the better fit.
2. Fix the option list — heat pump, filtration, sanitation, insulation, steps, control arrangement — and get the combined electrical load in writing for your engineer.
3. Approve finishes and any custom dimensions before production starts; changes after that point move the delivery date, not just the price.
4. Agree Incoterms, the delivery address and the cranage plan while there is still slack in the programme.
5. Book commissioning and operations training against your soft-opening date rather than leaving it to punch-list time.

Next step

Send us the drawing package, the target installation location and your required programme dates, and we will return a configuration for the WS-S10-T with confirmed equipment, electrical figures and a delivery plan. If a different length in the outdoor swim spa range fits the site better, we will show you both options with their trade-offs so the decision stays with your design team.
