{"product_id":"platinum-1-hot-tub","title":"Platinum 1 | 3-Person Luxury Hot Tub","description":"\u003ch2\u003ePlatinum 1 Hot Tub | Couples Spa with Dual Loungers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Platinum 1 is designed for one specific use case: a proper hot tub experience for couples (or compact spaces) without the wasted footprint of a large family spa. It’s a streamlined model that focuses on comfort, atmosphere and a genuinely relaxing hydrotherapy setup — ideal for smaller gardens, terraces, or anyone who wants a dedicated “evening unwind” tub rather than a big social layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%;margin:20px 0;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pCYELR1YG5s\" title=\"Platinum 1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the Platinum 1 stand out is the seating design. Instead of trying to squeeze in lots of upright seats, it’s built around \u003cstrong\u003etwo full loungers\u003c\/strong\u003e plus a single seat — so it naturally fits the way most people actually use a compact spa: stretching out, switching off, and staying in longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA compact tub that still feels premium\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmaller hot tubs can sometimes feel like a compromise, especially on jet performance and “spa atmosphere”. The Platinum 1 avoids that by combining a dense jet layout with the features that make a hot tub feel like a proper outdoor ritual. You get \u003cstrong\u003eLED lighting\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth audio\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in speakers\u003c\/strong\u003e, so the experience feels intentional — warm water, soft lighting, music on — rather than just “a tub with bubbles”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Platinum 1 also includes \u003cstrong\u003efountains\u003c\/strong\u003e and a targeted \u003cstrong\u003eshoulder massage\u003c\/strong\u003e setup, which is exactly the kind of detail that makes a compact spa feel more luxurious in day-to-day use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHydrotherapy that’s designed to be used regularly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith \u003cstrong\u003e65 stainless-steel jets\u003c\/strong\u003e in a compact shell, the Platinum 1 is built to deliver a satisfying massage without needing a huge footprint. The jet coverage is designed to feel immersive rather than aggressive — strong enough to ease tension across the back and shoulders, but comfortable enough for longer sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControl is handled through a \u003cstrong\u003eBalboa Spa Touch\u003c\/strong\u003e system with a \u003cstrong\u003e3kW Balboa heater\u003c\/strong\u003e, chosen for reliability and intuitive everyday operation. This matters over time: you want a spa that stays simple to run, easy to adjust, and consistent in performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for real ownership (not just showroom appeal)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePractical build details include an \u003cstrong\u003eAristech acrylic\u003c\/strong\u003e shell, a \u003cstrong\u003emaintenance-free cabinet\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a built-in cleaning\/circulation setup to support day-to-day water clarity. The tub also comes with the essentials included — \u003cstrong\u003esteps and a cover\u003c\/strong\u003e — so you can set it up properly from day one rather than immediately needing add-ons\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your priority is a compact spa that feels genuinely premium — designed around lounging comfort, atmosphere, and reliable hydrotherapy — the Platinum 1 is a strong choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; site preparation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectrical:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e32A\u003c\/strong\u003e dedicated supply, prepared by a qualified electrician before delivery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e solid, level foundation — reinforced patio or concrete pad.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccess:\u003c\/strong\u003e please measure gates, paths, slopes, parking and turning points before order.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation tier:\u003c\/strong\u003e select your preferred installation option from the product menu at checkout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specification\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1400mm x 2100mm x 780mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeating layout:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 seat + 2 loungers (3-person)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 480 litres\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 265kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJets:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65 stainless-steel jets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balboa (Spa Touch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeater:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3kW (Balboa)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePumps:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x 3hp + circulation + blower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectrical requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLED lighting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBluetooth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeakers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAristech acrylic:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePre-circulation cleaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance-free cabinet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteps and cover included:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#eef4f9;border-left:4px solid #2d5a8a;padding:18px 22px;margin:32px 0 0 0;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;font-weight:bold;font-size:1.1em;color:#1e3d5a;\"\u003e💡 Not sure if this is the right tub for you?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;\"\u003eRead our complete \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.steamandoak.co.uk\/blogs\/news\/uk-hot-tub-buying-guide\" style=\"color:#2d5a8a;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eUK Hot Tub Buying Guide →\u003c\/a\u003e for an honest comparison: 13A vs 32A power, sizes, installation, warranty, and what to avoid.
