New hot tub program for indoor and outdoor use

Geeste/Cologne, 2015-10-27 - Straight-lined, puristic design, high-tech materials and new functionalities: RivieraPool has completely redesigned its range of whirlpools and presents three new models at Aquanale 2015 as built-in variants for indoor use as well as portable spas for outdoor areas.

"Wave", "Strato 2.0" and "Strato 2.3" - these are the names of the new whirlpools from RivieraPool. "We have completely overhauled the design and functionalities of our whirlpools and adapted them to the current trends in outdoor living," explains Uwe Rengers, Head of Marketing at RivieraPool. The curved, soft shapes of previous models have given way - the new models present themselves with a straight-lined and puristic design. Their square shape integrates perfectly into modern living spaces - as does the choice of materials.

The hardtop cover becomes a daybed
Garden and living areas are merging more and more. Fabrics, materials and decorative elements from the interior are finding their way into the "green living room". This is also reflected in a special development for the whirlpool models, which sets new standards in appearance and functionality: the hardtop becomes a daybed.

The requirement was to develop an everyday, weatherproof and winterproof cover for the whirlpool that simultaneously insulates, protects and represents a chic, upholstered lounging surface. In addition, the daybed had to be so light that it can be opened and closed with ease, without complex cover lifter constructions. The cover should be easy to remove and slide. This has now been achieved through the combination of lightweight panels with open-pored seat cushion foam and a fabric-like outdoor vinyl material. This keeps the elements lightweight, easy to open and still resilient enough to be used by two people using the daybed. 

Weatherproof Resysta cladding
RivieraPool also relies on new materials for the cladding of the whirlpools: particularly for portable spas used outdoors, the manufacturer now offers cladding with Resysta panels. The material, which has long been used in architecture, shipbuilding and furniture design, consists of a special compound of rice husks and polymers. Since water cannot penetrate into the material, it is predestined for outdoor and wet area applications. Resysta panels are available in a wide color palette with a chic wood look. "Since Resysta is also frequently used in facade construction or for pool and terrace decks, the whirlpool appearance can be precisely matched to this design," explains Uwe Rengers, highlighting the holistic design aspect of this development. Modern pool technology is concealed beneath the removable panels and is easily accessible at all times. Optimum insulation of the entire technical chamber is provided by high-tech polyurethane insulation panels. The waste heat from the pumps is used to heat the bath water.

For private and public users      
The Wave model is available as a skimmer pool for fixed installation, as a portable spa, or with an overflow channel as "Wave Highline". Thus, Wave is suitable for the requirements of private wellness areas as well as for public use in hotels and sports centers. The whirlpool is equipped with four massage seats. The arrangement of the different massage jets is designed according to an 8-stage program and oriented towards a 20-minute, hydrotherapeutic whirlpool massage. "The positive health effects of water, heat, and whirlpool systems have long been proven," explains Guido Rengers, "so that a whirlpool bath has its very current justification, especially also for widespread complaints such as back and neck pain." 

The new RivieraSpas are available in the following sizes:

• Wave "Highline" as a built-in variant in 255 x 255 cm as well as in 195 x 220 cm as a skimmer pool, and as a portable spa in 250 x 250 cm

• Strato 2.0 as a compact built-in variant in 194 cm x 194 cm and portable spa in 211 cm x 211 cm     

• Strato 2.3 as a generously sized built-in whirlpool in 230 cm x 230 cm and portable spa with 250 cm x 250 cm    

"When we imported the first whirlpools from America in the seventies and went into production ourselves a short time later, we made a significant contribution to making the whirlpool socially acceptable in Germany," Guido Rengers looks back. "Even though the European whirlpool market is currently highly competitive, we want to continue to convince people with our 'Made in Germany' quality and innovative ideas. The wellness trend is unbroken and the health benefits of regular whirlpool use are indisputable," Guido Rengers explains the background of the whirlpool relaunch.
