The Lobo Spa

Summer holidays in your home all year around!

What is it?

The Lobo Spa is an easily assembled, all weather indoor swimming pool and hot tub (Jacuzzi) combination. The pool is surrounded by a wooden deck and housed in a conservatory style cover. It is designed to be placed in the garden / grounds of a private house, B&B, small hotel, etc. The Lobo Spa offers the performance of much larger and expensive conventional installations at a fraction of the cost. The assembly is usually performed above ground and thus involves no substantial ground works with its associated costs. The walls of the enclosure operate like sash windows, providing a total opening to the garden during the summer months. The pool is 6 m long by 4 m wide (whole structure 9 m x 6m) and fits in an average size garden. The pool is surrounded by a wooden deck, 1 meter wide and 2 m on one side. On this wider side a wooden hot tub is flush with the deck. A counter current jet is provided as an option, to allow for continuous vigorous swimming.

Technology

The Lobo Spa  is built using a radically new proprietary system, involving an assembly kit for which there are several patents pending.


Counter current jet system

A swimmer can swim energetically and continuously against this moving water near the jet, while remaining stationary. This constitutes an ideal exercise and does not require a very long pool, or the turning around procedure at the ends of a pool.

 

Assembly over a weekend

The Lobo Spa is designed so that it can be installed quickly by a small crew or even the user. Power connection should be as simple as  plug and use with an extending mains cable where the plug is inserted into an appropriate power socket.

Very low running costs

The swimming pool and hot tub are thermally insulated and thus designed to operate very efficiently. This is then contained in a double glazed building. Additionally, the control system is designed to take advantage of solar energy when available, to help maintain the pool temperature. Cheaper overnight electricity rates are used as a top up. The cost of keeping the pool and hot tub warm all year around will be very reasonable.

Safety

The Lobo Spa’s entrance is above ground and can be locked, making it safe for small children. In the lowered position the windows still provide a ledge so small children will not fall out of the deck. Adults are supported by a permanent banister.

Pure water without chlorine

The Lobo Spa comes with a state of the art electronic system that maintains the water crystal clear and to a very high purity level. This is achieved without the addition of large amounts of chlorine, and in fact it can work with no chlorine at all. Large amounts of chlorine can adversely affect health and causes a strong smell. This system is run automatically and saves the user a considerable expense in chlorine powders and other compounds (algaecides and flocculants) normally used in pool water treatment.

Larger storage than a garden shed

The area underneath the deck is protected and dry. It can be used to store garden implements or other household bric-a-brac. This whole area is larger than an average garden shed.

Electronic temperature control

The pool temperature is electronically controlled to the user’s preferred setting and may be kept at this temperature all year around.
Similarly the hot tub temperature is also and separately electronically controlled to the user's settings, usually to a higher temperature. Water and air injection in the hot tub are also controlled.

 

No planning consent required

Installation in the UK should not require planning permission if it is installed in the back garden, more than 5 m away from the house, it is not facing the road and if the garden is larger than 54 square meters (twice the area of pool). The usual exception is if the installation is to be done in a conservation area, when conservation area permission is required (this is a simpler form of planning permission). In any case, it is a good idea to talk to your planning department if in doubt.
