QCA Spas Cabinet Construction

Shell

QCA Spas feature some of the deepest, most durable shells in the industry.

Durabond™

QCA Spa shells are manufactured with a patented, four-layer strengthening process called

DuraBond™. This exclusive system combines the beauty of Lucite-Xtra™ acrylic with a layer of ABS for strength and integrity. A layer of double-strengthening material called IsoBond is then applied. IsoBond has all the strength of a fiberglass resin shell, with half the weight, and without the environmental concerns. The manufacturing process is completed with a thick layer of insulating polyurethane foam.

Lucite-Xtra™

Lucite-Xtra™ cast acrylic is a non-porous material that resists stains such as those from build-up of lotions and body oils, which can ruin non-acrylic spas. Its durable surface resists chipping, cracking, and denting. Lucite-Xtra™ keeps its shine despite sanitizing chemicals, high temperatures, and exposure to sunlight. No polishing or waxing is necessary to maintain its appearance - just a sponge and mild soap.

Cabinet

Beauty, energy efficiency, and maintenance-free: These are the hallmarks of QCA Spas' Weather Guard cabinets.

Weather Guard™

Weather Guard™ is the industry's best, maintenance-free spa cabinet. Weather Guard™ is available in two colors: Coastal Grey or Redwood, and will not fade or discolor even when exposed to the effects of outside weather and ultraviolet light. Unlike other poly-plastic cabinets in the market today that are thin and flimsy resulting in warping and fading, a QCA Spa Weather Guard™ cabinet is constructed of strong and durable polystyrene that won't crack, splinter or peel. This material is similar to high-end vinyl windows for your home. And since it replaces the wood of most spa cabinets, Weather Guard™ is termite, moisture, and rot resistant and 214% more rigid than wood. Weather Guard™ is energy efficient too - 62% more than traditional wood!

Maintenance

Top Load Filter & Built-In Chemical Feeder

QCA Spas are equipped with top-load filtering systems that are easy to remove for cleaning. The adjustable-rate chemical feeder cartridge is easy to fill with your favorite sanitizer. Unlike other spas, the top-load system allows you to remove the filter without dragging it through your clean spa water. QCA Spas feature filters utilizing Microban Spa Filter Media. Microban is an EPA registered and approved material that fights bacteria and inhibits the growth of dangerous microbes in spa water.

Aquapure Spa Sanitizing System

All QCA Spas can be equipped with the Aquapure Spa Sanitizing System. This system utilizes Ultra Violet (UV) ozone technology and injects it directly into the spas plumbing system to kill bacteria in all water lines. The UV Ozone is then distributed to the main body of spa water through the jets. UV Ozone used in combination with a residual amount of Chorine or Bromine can effectively provide a clean, safe bacteria- free spa and dramatically reduce chemical use. The excess UV Ozone that rises to the spa water surface is recycled by the spas’ built-in ozone recovery system.

Energy Saver

Energy Saver System

Unlike full-foam spas that need to vent off motor-generated heat, the heat produced by the mechanical equipment is not vented away in a QCA Spa - it is contained, recycled, and reused. As water moves through the lines toward the jets it draws air with it (an action termed venturi). This air is taken from the pocket created by the Polar Insulation on the shell and cabinet. Not only is this warm air recycled and used to warm the water in your jets, but it also helps to maintain the water temperature - saving you money!

Insulation

Polar Insulation Logo

Polar Insulation™

QCA Spas are built to withstand harsh, northern winters. Our system incorporates a foam-insulated cabinet and a thick layer of polyurethane foam applied to the shell. Unlike other insulation systems that loosely wrap insulation around the shell, QCA Spas, Inc. sprays our insulating foam directly onto the shell surface to ensure full contact to all surfaces, thereby sealing the cabinet from any outside air infiltration. As a bonus of this excellence in insulation techniques, the ambient air trapped between the two layers provides an insulating barrier to help maintain spa water temperature.
