The Splash Series: A Smarter Alternative to a Traditional Swimming Pool
For many homeowners, having a backyard pool is the ultimate dream—offering a space to cool off, exercise, and spend quality time outdoors. However, the reality of pool ownership often brings unexpected challenges: high maintenance costs, seasonal limitations, and the ongoing upkeep required to keep the water clean and the system running smoothly.
For those looking for a better alternative to a traditional swimming pool, the PDC Spas Splash Series Hybrid Spa & Fitness Pool provides the perfect solution. Combining the benefits of a spa and a fitness pool, the Splash Series offers hydrotherapy, year-round usability, and a low-maintenance design that makes it a practical choice for active lifestyles and relaxation alike. Whether you're considering a backyard upgrade or seeking a cost-effective way to enjoy the benefits of water therapy and exercise, the Splash Series is an option worth exploring.
A Smarter, More Practical Pool Alternative
Traditional in-ground pools require significant excavation, expensive installation, and ongoing costs for maintenance, heating, and chemical treatments. In contrast, the Splash Series is designed to offer the same refreshing water experience with far less hassle and expense. Instead of dedicating time and resources to pool cleaning and upkeep, owners of a hybrid spa and fitness pool can focus on what really matters—relaxing, recovering, and staying active.
Beyond the convenience, one of the standout advantages of the Splash Series is its versatility. Unlike traditional pools that can only be used in warm months, this all-season alternative is built with full insulation, making it perfect for year-round use. Whether you want to cool off in the summer or enjoy a heated soak in winter, the Splash Series adapts to every season.
Relaxation and Recovery with Hydrotherapy Benefits
A traditional pool may provide a refreshing swim, but it lacks one of the most valuable features of the Splash Series—hydrotherapy. Built-in hydrotherapy jets create a soothing and therapeutic experience, offering benefits that go far beyond simple relaxation. Warm water and targeted jet massage can relieve muscle tension, ease joint pain, and promote faster recovery after a workout.
This combination of fitness and hydrotherapy in one unit is what sets the Splash Series apart. Whether you're using it for post-exercise recovery or simply to unwind after a long day, the ability to enjoy massaging jets and warm water therapy makes this hybrid spa a much more comprehensive wellness tool than a standard swimming pool.
Designed for Fitness and Low-Impact Exercise
While many homeowners install pools to stay active, swimming isn't the only way to exercise in water. The Splash Series is specifically engineered for fitness, featuring a powerful fitness jet system that creates a continuous stream of water for resistance swimming and aquatic workouts. Unlike a large swimming pool, which requires extensive space for lap swimming, the Splash Series allows for effective low-impact exercise in a compact design.
Water-based fitness is particularly beneficial for those recovering from injuries or managing joint pain. The buoyancy of water reduces impact on the joints, making it an excellent option for rehabilitation, strength training, and general cardiovascular exercise. With a spacious design that accommodates a range of movement, the Splash Series makes it easy to stay active without the strain associated with traditional workouts.
A Pool Alternative That Meets HOA Restrictions
In many communities, homeowners associations (HOAs) impose strict regulations on traditional pools, often requiring permits, fencing, or specific landscaping adjustments. Because the Splash Series is a self-contained unit, it frequently bypasses many of these restrictive HOA rules, making it a more accessible and hassle-free option.
With a design that blends seamlessly into most backyard layouts, the Splash Series offers a visually appealing, space-saving alternative to a full-size pool. The compact footprint makes it ideal for homes with limited yard space, providing the benefits of a swimming pool without the need for extensive renovations or approvals.
Exploring the Splash Series Models
The Splash Series is available in two models, both offering spacious designs, premium features, and an all-season experience.
Baja 12: The Compact Powerhouse
For those looking for a smaller, yet versatile fitness and relaxation pool, the Baja 12 offers an ideal balance of space and functionality. Measuring 12 feet in length, it provides ample room for exercise, hydrotherapy, and year-round enjoyment, while still being compact enough for smaller outdoor spaces.
Equipped with PowerFlo™ fitness jets, the Baja 12 delivers an adjustable resistance stream for swimming and aquatic workouts. The built-in hydrotherapy seating provides massaging relief, while LED lighting and cascading water features create a visually stunning backyard centerpiece.
If you're looking for a high-performance fitness and spa experience in a space-saving design, the Baja 12 is an excellent choice.
Baja 15: Maximum Space, Maximum Enjoyment
For those who want more room to move, the Baja 15 expands the experience with a longer, more spacious design. At 15 feet in length, this model offers increased space for fitness, relaxation, and group enjoyment.
Featuring the same PowerFlo™ fitness jet technology, the Baja 15 allows for a stronger swim current and more movement freedom, making it the perfect choice for those who take their water workouts seriously. The addition of SoftTread™ flooring enhances grip and safety, while upgraded LED lighting and cascading waterfalls elevate the aesthetic appeal.
If you’re looking for an immersive, high-end spa and fitness experience, the Baja 15 delivers.
Customizing Your Splash Series Experience
One of the most exciting aspects of the Splash Series is its customization potential. Available upgrades and features allow homeowners to personalize their spa for maximum comfort and performance.
For those who prioritize safety and ease of movement, the SoftTread™ anti-slip flooring system is an excellent addition. Those looking to enhance ambiance can opt for color-changing LED lighting and cascading water features, while advanced filtration systems keep the water crystal clear with minimal effort.
No matter your needs, the Splash Series can be tailored to suit your fitness, relaxation, and aesthetic preferences.
