What We Mean by Traditional Comfort
At Pates Pool and Spa, traditional comfort means a familiar spa layout, dependable operation, and features designed for relaxed, everyday use. Nordic Hot Tubs builds this approach into its Classic Series models by focusing on round seating, balanced water flow, and straightforward controls.
Here’s how that shows up in real-world use.
Nordic Star™ Stainless Steel Jets
The Impulse™ DP uses Nordic Star™ stainless steel jets arranged evenly around the spa to deliver balanced water flow and consistent pressure.
Single 2 HP Pump System
A single 1 hp continuous-duty pump provides steady circulation and jet performance designed for everyday soaking rather than high-pressure therapy.
Footwell LED Lighting
Standard footwell LED lighting improves visibility during evening use and highlights the interior of the spa.
Optional Lighting Packages
Optional Mood Lighting and Starlight Packages allow owners to add ambient lighting without changing core performance.
Nordic Wrap™ Insulation Option
The optional Nordic Wrap™ insulation adds approximately R-9.5 insulation around the cabinet in addition to the standard foam insulation rated at R-7 per inch.
User-Friendly Controls
A simple 4-button topside control with LED display allows for easy temperature and jet adjustments.
Why This Matters at Pates Pool and Spa
Choosing a classic round hot tub is about comfort, layout, and long-term reliability. Nordic Hot Tubs builds these priorities into the Classic Series, and Pates Pool and Spa helps ensure each spa is matched to the right space, electrical setup, and usage needs.
