What does a circulation pump do? Why would you want one?
It constantly circulates the water in the hot tub. You want one because it is more efficient than jet pumps doing the same job. It also keeps the water cleaner, it's quieter, and reduces wear and tear on jet pumps.
These are the 4 biggest differences between the Hotspot and Limelight collection. (and their benefits)
Circulation pump (efficiency, water quality, noise, jet pump longevity)
Higher power jets (pain relief, better massage)
Longer warranty (better peace of mind)
Saltwater (better water, better experience)
