ProGorki has launched a stainless steel spa line. Not a concept—actual production. Built for clinics, hotels, and private homes where acrylic and tile keep failing.
We’ve spent 20+ years engineering pools and aquatic systems. This line brings that experience into spa format: AISI 304/316 steel shells, hydrotherapy and aeromassage circuits, modular builds for tight sites, dry installation where access allows.
Benefits of Stainless Steel vs Acrylic & Tile Spa Pools
Most spas run acrylic or tile. Acrylic wears visibly: crazing, fading, sensitivity to chemistry. Tile holds shape better, but grout is the weak link—scrubbing, regrouting, mold in seams.
Stainless steel sidesteps both. AISI 304 and 316 resist corrosion, handle chlorinated water and temperature swings, keep a smooth, non‑porous surface. No grout. No coatings. Dirt has nowhere to hide, so cleaning is faster.
What you get:
- Non‑porous surface—biofilm has no grip
- Corrosion resistance proven in marine and medical use.
- Service life over 20 years with routine care.
- Stable through thermal cycles. Spas typically run −10 to +50°C.
Note: stainless shows water spots; a quick wipe‑down keeps the surface clean.
AISI 316 goes into coastal installs or where water chemistry skews saline. AISI 304 covers most indoor applications—pH 7.2–7.8, chlorine 1–3 ppm or bromine 3–5 ppm (standard residential/light commercial range).
Hydrotherapy & Aeromassage Systems for Spa Pools
The line integrates two independent circuits:
Hydrotherapy (hydromassage):
Directed water jets by body zone—lower back, shoulders, legs, feet. Zones run independently or in sequences. Flow and pressure are set by pump curves and nozzle geometry, so the last seat feels like the first.
Aeromassage:
Fine‑bubble air diffusion via floor/bench rails for uniform, low‑force stimulation. Suited for relaxation and surface‑level circulation support. Separate blowers feed diffusion plates.
Run one, both, or alternate. For rehabilitation and sports recovery, the combination shortens recovery windows. Not magic—repeatable hydraulics.
Modular Spa Pool Installation: Single‑Piece & Sectional Options
Sites have constraints: door widths, lifts, corridor turns, schedules, noise.
Single‑piece shells:
If access is clear (dock, ground‑floor, wide doorways), a single shell lands fastest. Crane or forklift. Connect services. Commission.
Sectional assemblies:
For basements, upper floors, tight corridors. Factory‑finished panels, pre‑drilled mounts, sealed joints. Panels pass typical 900 mm openings; assemblies bolt together on site. No tile setting. No wet trades. No curing.
Sectional builds require careful sealing and torque discipline at joints. Done right, they’re watertight and serviceable.
Dry installation:
With a prepared concrete base (load data provided during design), the pool sets down, connects, and commissions. Shorter windows. Less coordination. Fits occupied buildings like clinics and hotels.
Filtration, Disinfection & Heating for Stainless Steel Spas
A spa pool is a system. Configurations include:
- Filtration: sized to occupancy and hours (glass media, sand, or cartridge for small footprints).
- Recirculation: turnover without over‑agitation (typical spa 4–6 cycles/day; rehab 2–3).
- Disinfection: chlorine or bromine; optional UV/ozone for combined treatment.
- Heating: heat exchanger (building steam/hot water), electric element, or heat pump integration.
- Controls: local panels with presets, or automated dosing with pH/ORP/temperature sensors and remote monitoring.
Sensors and gauges are visible without removing panels; valves/unions are labeled; sampling points are clear. That’s what makes the system predictable day‑to‑day.
Service Access & Maintenance Design
Service panels sit by filters, strainers, valves, manifolds, and jet controllers. Overflow grates remove and refit without tools. Layout favors clear sightlines—readings in seconds, not minutes.
Fast access reduces routine service time. Over the year it means fewer labor hours, less downtime, lower cost.
Applications: Private, Clinical & Hospitality Spa Pools
Private installations:
Daily wellness without the acrylic repair cycle. Wipe‑down surface. Edges and benches equalize temperature quickly—no cold ring.
Rehabilitation and therapy pools:
Profiles for hydro/aero sessions. Modular installation reduces downtime in occupied buildings. Stable hydraulics help keep outcomes consistent.
Hotels and wellness:
Presentation and uptime both matter. Stainless maintains a consistent look under guest load. Compact plant rooms and organized equipment reduce service visits and duration.
Stainless Steel vs Acrylic vs Tile: Material Comparison
| Aspect | Stainless steel (AISI 304/316) | Acrylic | Tiled bowl |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surface hygiene | Non-porous, no grout; wipe-down cleaning | Micro-scratches trap dirt | Grout lines harbor biofilm |
| Durability | Resists delamination, fading, crazing | Surface wear, color shift | Tiles stable; grout degrades |
| Maintenance | Fewer surface interventions | Refinishing likely in 5–7 yrs | Regrouting in 7–10 yrs |
| Installation | Single-piece or sectional; dry install | Single-piece; access-limited | Wet trades; longer critical path |
| Thermal feel | Fast edge heat equalization | Cooler perimeter feel | Substrate/grout dependent |
| Chemistry tolerance | Stable with standard treatments | Sensitive to aggressive chemistry | Grout vulnerable to pH swings |
| Service life | 20+ years with routine care | 7–12 years heavy use | Long if maintained; grout weak link |

Compliance, Accessibility & Safety Standards
Design aligns with relevant pool/building codes. Options include steps with anti‑slip treads, stainless grab rails (wall/floor‑mounted), ramps, and lift interfaces.
Set temperature limits and cycle durations per facility policy. Emergency stop and isolation points are visible and labeled. Documentation supports health/safety review.
Energy Efficiency & Water Management
Stainless edges feel consistent at setpoint due to fast surface heat equalization. Efficient hydraulics and right‑sized filtration cut chemical demand and water use.
Options to reduce operating cost:
- Insulated piping and shell perimeter.
- Thermal covers (manual/automated) to cut heat loss and evaporation.
- Variable‑speed pumps tuned to load.
- Heat exchanger tie‑in with building systems.
Good hydraulics simplify chemistry. Even flow and correct turnover mean fewer corrections.
