Chesterfield hot tub manufacturer launches new ‘AquaSolus’ range

Chesterfield’s Superior Wellness has announced the launch of AquaSolus, the brand-new range of luxury hot tubs hitting the market.

The new AquaSolus product range offers six new hot tubs. The range encompasses various well sculptured models, from all seater models to models with one lounger.

Following the soft launch at Spatex earlier this year, the company officially launched this new range at The PSP Expo in Vegas and The Piscina and Wellness Show in Lyon in November. Superior Wellness is confident that this new product range will offer customers across the globe an improved choice and an exceptional hydrotherapy experience.

The new AquaSolus range from Superior Wellness has been designed to improve wellness. AquaSolus meaning ‘health through water’ in Latin is the essence of what customers will experience with this range. The hot tubs have been carefully designed with wellness and hydrotherapy at the forefront.

Superior Wellness is proud to partner with industry leading suppliers to bring customers the highest quality hot tubs with the best hydrotherapy experience. All AquaSolus hot tubs are built around an impressive tubular stainless-steel framework, due to its robustness we are proud to give a lifetime warranty on its integrity.

In a world of increasing energy costs, it’s vitally important to put energy efficient insulation at the forefront when designing a new hot tub and the AquaSolus range is no exception.

Utilising a tried and tested Heatlock Insulation Process, where the exterior of the spas is insulated in the same way we insulate our homes, creating an inner heat shield. Using this method, the heat is reflected back inwards, and is then used to help maintain the temperature of the spa through heat transfer via the vast amount of plumbing; this assists with the overall running costs.

Graham Message, Superior Wellness Business Development Manager said “Our new AquaSolus range sees Superior Wellness venture into the high end, high specification hot tub marketplace for the first time.

“Aimed for the more discerning customer who requires more than just fun from their hot tub, AquaSolus was designed to capitalise on hydrotherapy, water management and energy efficiency. No short cuts were taken when we designed this range as we wanted the latest technology and only the best industry components to match the vision. We had to make the AquaSolus range the best we could and I’m pleased to say we have achieved the brief we set ourselves.”

Platinum Spas uses latest technology for ‘augmented reality’ hot tub experience

Chesterfield-based Platinum Spas, part of Superior Wellness has announced its latest venture into a 3D AR (Augmented Reality) hot tub experience.

This latest feature will enable customers to not only be able to have a 360 view of the Premium range Tokyo hot tub but also view the hot tub in their own space and the process is really simple. This will allow people to make an informed decision on whether the hot tub is the right choice for them.

The introduction of the 3D AR means people can now view the Tokyo hot tub from the comfort of their home before actually making the trip out and visiting one of the Platinum Spas retailers.

Sarah Elphick, Head of Marketing said: “It will also be a great benefit to our partner network as it will enable them to demonstrate this product to a customer even if they do not currently have that particular model in stock.

“One of the benefits of AR is that it increases engagement and interaction whilst also providing a richer user experience. We are continuing to innovate and focus on what our consumers want. This is just one of many steps we are taking to take our marketing to the next level.”

Another benefit of this new technology is that it enables customers to scan, place and view the hot tub at 100% of its actual size. A QR code is scanned on a smartphone camera and people are then free to roam and inspect the hot tub. This will allow customers and partners to see whether or not the hot tub would fit into their showroom, garden room, garden space or wherever they wish.

Sarah added: “Superior Wellness are really excited to launch this new feature for the Tokyo hot tub. The Platinum Spas brand continues to innovate every year with new ideas being introduced to ensure they offer the very best in technology and design.”

Superior Wellness team completes Yorkshire three peaks challenge

The team at Chesterfield’s Superior Wellness has recently conquered the grueling Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge in aid of Fibromyalgia Action UK.

On 28 August, a team of 22 from the world’s fastest growing hot tub manufacturer took part in the 24-mile challenge climbing Yorkshire’s highest peaks.

The team have currently raised £790 and there is still time to donate. The money raised will go directly to their national charity partner Fibromyalgia Action UK, who are fighting for freedom from Fibromyalgia – to raise awareness and much needed funds.

Fibromyalgia is a long-term condition that causes persistent pain all over the body.  As well as widespread pain, other symptoms will include but are not limited to fatigue and non-refreshing sleep, and brain or fibro fog.

The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge takes on the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, usually in this order, and in under 12 hours. These peaks form part of the Pennine range, and encircle the head of the valley of the River Ribble, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

The Superior Wellness team showed true family spirit, dedication and commitment.  Some team members completed the course in a record time as an organised event this year, in 8 hours and 15 minutes, which was an incredible achievement.

Rob Carlin, Managing Director at Superior Wellness said: “I am incredibly proud of everyone who took part; helping each other along the way as well as conquering fears and challenges. It was very challenging mentally and physically.

“We are overwhelmed with the generosity of donations to raise much needed funds for our national charity Fibromyalgia Action UK. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far; it is not too late to donate via our Just Giving link.

“We hope to raise awareness of the condition through the partnership, particularly amongst young people, as many may not even know what it is.”

Des Quinn, Chair of Fibromyalgia Action UK said: “We really appreciate the effort, conviction, and time donated by the team at Superior Wellness. I would like to thank them for their efforts. It is tremendous what they are doing, we really appreciate the funds you have raised and the awareness of fibromyalgia too.”

Since the partnership began in 2021 the Superior Wellness team have raised over £5,000 in a series of charity events to raise funds for Fibromyalgia Action UK.

Chesterfield’s Superior Wellness supports Mental Health Awareness Week

Chesterfield-based Superior Wellness has announced it is supporting the national Mental Health Awareness Week by helping to share the campaign and raise awareness.

The week, which is hosted by the Mental Health Foundation, is in its 22nd year and runs from 9-15 May.

This year, the theme for the week is ‘Loneliness’. Across the country, people will be reflecting on loneliness and how it impacts our mental health. Long-term loneliness is closely linked to mental health problems such as depression and anxiety.

Carol Claydon, Head of HR at Superior Wellness said: “We not only focus on physical health but mental health too.  I am a trained mental health champion and team members can speak to me any time.  Our culture is like one big family and we all support each other as one team.  We are also all based in the office and not at home which will help with those who may have struggled during the pandemic with loneliness.

“We do a huge amount at Superior Wellness as a team including a weekly team building activity, fitness classes and celebrating birthdays.  We even have a games room with pool tables and table tennis which team members use at lunch time or after work. We are very supportive as a team and ensure our work environment is a positive and happy place to be.”

Mark Rowland Chief Executive of the Mental Health Foundation said:

“We hope this year’s theme of loneliness will strike a chord with many of us who felt lonely and struggled throughout the Covid pandemic.

“Millions of us experience loneliness from time to time. We know that some people are at higher risk of experiencing loneliness and the evidence shows the longer we feel lonely, the more we are at risk of mental health problems.

“Loneliness deserves more attention and we’re calling on everyone who has struggled as a result of being lonely to share their experiences. We must work together – as individuals, as a society and through government policy – to reduce loneliness and prevent mental health problems by investing in welcoming, social spaces and new community initiatives.”

Some of the ways people can participate in Mental Health Awareness Week:

  • During Mental Health Awareness Week use the hashtag #IveBeenThere to share experiences of loneliness to support others and give the campaign momentum.
  • Sign up to walk, run or job as part of our 80 Miles in May challenge and share your photos using #80MilesinMay and #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek.
