A swim spa is one of the few outdoor products where a vague enquiry produces an unusable quotation. Site dimensions, jet count, electrical load and what is included versus optional all have to line up before anyone can price the job properly. This guide uses our Outdoor Swim Spa WS-PC06CH as a worked example, so you can see exactly which fields belong in a buyer-side specification and how we read them on our side when a project enquiry arrives.
Start with the footprint, not the styling
WS-PC06CH is listed at 6000 × 3000 × 900 mm (length × width × depth). Treat those three numbers as the shell envelope, and then write your own site figures around them:
- Clear opening — the excavation or deck cut-out you can actually provide, measured in millimetres, including any perimeter working gap your builder needs for formwork, waterproofing or a surround frame.
- Access route — gate width, turning radius, crane or forklift reach from the delivery point to the final position. A 6 m shell will not pass through a 900 mm side gate.
- Drainage and sub-base — how the prepared base is graded and drained, and who is responsible for it: your contractor or ours as part of the package.
- Immersion depth versus deck height — 900 mm is a shallow, seated profile. State whether you want the rim flush with the finished deck level or raised, because that changes the surround detailing before any cladding is chosen.
Equipment list: what sits inside the standard shell
The catalogue record for this model lists the following. Put this table into your own document and mark each line as confirmed, substituted or deleted — an unmarked table is where specification disputes start.
| Item | Catalogue figure for WS-PC06CH | What you must confirm in writing |
|---|---|---|
| Model reference | WS-PC06CH | Exact model code on the quotation and on the packing list — not a family name |
| Catalogue dimensions | 6000 × 3000 × 900 mm | Whether your opening, access route and surround detail match this envelope |
| Jet total | 38 pcs | Jet layout by zone, and which seats the stronger jets face |
| Water pump | 2 pcs | Pump duty per jet circuit; whether either pump also feeds a water feature |
| Filter pump | 1 pc | Filtration run time, filter element size and spare part number |
| Control system | 1 set | Control location, weather protection, and who wires the final connection on site |
| LED lights | 1 pc | Fitting position and whether a colour or single-white option is specified |
| Total power | 3.25 kW | Your local supply: phase, voltage, dedicated circuit rating, protective device |
| Features shown | Water jets, LED lighting, Ozone | Ozone dosing is listed as a feature — confirm dosing point and service interval |
| Swim training system | Not listed for this model | If you want lap swimming, say so at enquiry. See the note below on where that belongs instead. |
Options: name them in the enquiry, not after order confirmation
Catalogue-listed options for this range include control systems, UV sterilisation, water pumps, heat pumps, sand filtration, insulation and steps. Availability and compatibility vary by model, so each one needs a yes or no against your configuration. Two of them change the building work around the spa:
- Heat pump — adds its own electrical circuit and an equipment position with airflow and noise clearance. Decide before the base is poured.
- Insulation — affects heat retention in cooler climates and the build-up of any perimeter structure.
- Sand filtration or UV sterilisation — changes the plant space you need to leave beside the shell, plus access for backwashing and lamp replacement.
- Steps — decide between moulded steps inside the shell and a stepped deck approach; each has different surround and slip-resistance detailing.
The rest of the specification sheet
Beyond equipment, six more fields turn a product enquiry into a project order:
- Installation scope — who supplies the base, surround, waterproofing and final electrical connection. Our service navigation covers installation and after-sales support, including inspection and snags; state clearly which parts of the site work stay with your contractor.
- Delivery terms — port or door, and who handles import clearance. Our logistics and door-to-door delivery service covers freight forwarding, packaging and container loading; confirm Incoterms, duties and the exact delivery address in writing.
- Spare parts — pumps, filter elements, jet bodies, LED fittings. Ask for part numbers with the quotation so replacements match years later.
- Warranty terms — shell, equipment and labour are usually covered differently; get the split in writing rather than relying on a general promise.
- Water treatment regime — ozone is listed on this model, but daily dosing, testing and winterisation remain your site's responsibility. Ask what the recommended regime is for your water conditions.
- Point of contact and lead time — one named person who signs off shop drawings, plus a production slot date rather than a vague turnaround.
How to send it to us
Send the marked-up table above with your site dimensions and access photos in the first message. That single document lets our team return a configuration drawing, an itemised quotation and a delivery plan instead of another round of questions. If you are specifying several villas, a resort pool deck or a wellness area, we handle swim spas as part of a wider Swimming Pools and Swim Spas package alongside outdoor furniture, paving, lighting and interior fixtures, so the whole terrace is coordinated by one supplier.
