The Standard Paramount Fallsburg model is our most popular spa ever. It is what I consider  an "almost perfect" spa design. So, naturally it is the model that we took to customize to the highest level of approaching perfection there is,  The SCF Magnum. The regular model surpasses all the competition's spas in construction, components, design, reliability and therapy, but that doesn't satisfy me in my quest for perfection.  This is truly the best spa in the world. We haven't lost a wet test comparison between a competitive model and the regular Fallsburg. The Fallsburg is an amazing product.  Each year we think that the competition is going to try and do better, to actually try and copy some of our improvements, but they can't afford to and really don't care about real quality or seeking perfection in the craft of spa building.  (See this example) This is our place in the world of spas; making the best there is.  It is really a painstaking way, but much more satisfying. 

What we do, anytime whither the economy is good or bad, is to continue to make better and stronger products, more efficiently.  Research ways to do better and then test.  We contacted the motor company and the pump company and are building the "Ultimate Jet Pumps" ourselves for our Haven SE and SC Spas.  We have never seen a more reliable, nor as powerful spa motor/pump combination and  nobody else is even buying parts of this quality for spas.  This is the reason we have no "real" competition in the spa industry. The Super Custom Spas and most of our lesser models,  have absolutely no competition, because it is refined from the inside out.   All the components are beefed up and so is the shell.  The control box is now industrial strength, with high current switching on all the motors in our huge steel control box.  The plumbing is as close to perfection as is humanly possible.

We manufacture the Super Custom Magnum for people who can afford the highest end spa ever made, and we keep on improving it each year.  This year we went all the way with industrializing the entire equipment compartment.  It is a tremendous amount of hard and detailed work. We also took the DAIT to a new Level 5 this year.  It will keep the spa so quiet and so energy efficient that other brands of spas sound like "thrashing machines" when they run with not even 1/4 of the water movement in comparison.

The Super Custom Magnum Fallsburg is a totally new entity in the hot tub world. It has the sleekest, "cleanest" designed plumbing there is with the most modern and powerful spa pumps available.  The jetting and plumbing are balanced to give from the lightest to the most intense therapy you have ever experienced, without taxing the components.  All of the equipment has overbuild in it for longer life.

The Super Custom Magnum Fallsburg model ( I had to call it something! ) is the most water flow efficient spa in the world.  It is also one of the best therapy machines on earth and now it is also the closest to perfection on energy use there is and with the least amount of chemicals.  The other bests are the SCM Lakeshore, SCM Brookfield. And the new SC Pinecove and SCM Timberlake.

The normal Fallsburg (and now all of our spas) is superior to most any spa out there, but because I am a spa person, (spa fanatic is what some people call me), I have designed upgrades on the Fallsburg and the Paramount models and call them the Magnums.  It has a fifth therapy pump designed to move about 35 to 45 GPM (gallons per minute) for up to 24 hours of strong filtering. The purpose of this pump is to relieve the "jet pump number one" of the main filtering and heating duties and this is the best filter system on earth. This eliminates the drag or resistance to flow the filter and heater creates, even though we have designed in a relief valve and huge filters and pipes, the filter and heater create the need for two extra 90 degree turns on the pressure side.  The new circulation pump for 2007 is a modern piece of engineering marvel.  The low speed is 1/8 HP and the high is 1.5 HP.  It doubles as a power jet pump as well as taking care of the filtering, ozone, heating and creating an amazing level of thermal efficiency by putting a warm air barrier inside the cabinet. (This cuts the cost to run on the SC spas to the level of a 1 HP spa with no blower, using old fashioned full foam.) The power jet is strategically placed on a low back jet that gives the most powerful therapy for low back there is.  I just love this jet for my lower back pain.

The Super Custom Fallsburg spa is as powerful in pumps as you can have in a residential spa. Two 6.7 HP plus 1 each 6 HP,  1.5 HP air, and heat, runs the spa so 70/80 Amp service is best. (60 Amp service optional) amps full load. So we can't get any larger pumps, but we can get a increase in water flow by making the jet pump's plumbing extremely clean.  That is what we have done.

For the jet pumps, we put in 6 each, 200 GPM safety suctions in the bottom of the spa. These are aligned as directly as possible into the 2.5 inch suction plumbing and directly into the pump with few turns in the 2.5 and 2.38 inch pipe and a straight shot into the pump. This is as close as physically possible to putting the end of the pump in the wall of the spa. By safety standards we must use two ( UL safety) suction fittings.  This is known in hot tub engineering as the goal of perfect "flooded suctions", with the least resistance to the water movement.  There is no way to make this any better.

Any restriction on the suction side has a tremendous effect on the water pressure coming out of the pump and ultimately to the jets.  It also has adverse effects on the energy use of the motors by overworking them. This is why all Haven spas have clean plumbing on the suction side, as clean as the price of the spa will allow and our spas outperform other brands that use similar size pumps for this reason.*

On the pressure side we put in two 45° , instead of two or three 90° turns  (and the filter and the heater).  This makes for a short path with low resistance to the manifold. And we use solid pipe or 2 3/8 in high vinyl mass flex pipe, as much as possible on the pressure side. The smoothest walls inside the pipe make for less resistance to flow.

This is because the pumps are drawing water from the bottom of the spa and the water pressure to the pumps suction is better, and much fewer air bubbles are sucked into the pumps volute.

The result is much (awesome) more powerful jets without increasing the HP of the pumps (or adding one or two more jet pumps to compensate for normal plumbing), and quiet smooth water transitions.  It runs extremely smooth and quiet with all these extras.
These Ultimate jet pumps sound like a jet engine with the dual turbine cooling fans.  There is no other pump like this on earth, because we are the only company who can afford to use it.

With the 40 GPM circulation/power jet  pump we outlet in two ways into the spa, one large jet for water flow and good motion into the spa so the water is fully stirred and agitated as it is filtered, no scum line with regular care (as in the tiny circ pump spas). The second outlet is for the SCF Ozone system.  This is a true 24 hour circulation/filtering/ozone pump and very different than a tiny 7 GPM, (worthless), circ pump. The pump is a larger, 48 frame, motor with a very long life expectancy.  (It is also made in America and much higher quality.)

This is my "dream spa".

We added a second topside opposite to the main control. It sits facing the inside and is easy to reach.  The Ultimate Deluxe, HQ Gecko controls used are strong, and  are extremely advanced and extremely safe and reliable. The power to these tremendous motors is fed through high amp relay contactors.

The SCF now comes standard with the ultimate DAIT Level 5 system as well. The level 5 offers a total of R-30 static insulation to the outer walls, increasing the effective insulation to R-90 with the heat barrier created by the circulation pump. 

There is no spa like the Super Custom Magnum Fallsburg. and although I don't like things being exclusive, our whole spa design is exclusive to our spas.  We are the only company who loves spas to this degree, so much so that we focus totally on the design of the spas and in customer service.

The results of the modifications are: more jet pressure available, even quieter operation, cooler running pumps,  the best water ozone treatment, and extremely filtered water, while maintaining an extremely efficient energy consumption that we are known for.  The main jet pumps last longer because of  the super clean water flow and highest degree of motor cooling.  The pumps always work in the "sweet spot" with minimal turns and are only used for therapy.   You can not find another spa with this level of quiet and power that runs with such low energy costs.

Most of the spa is built at the factory, but the custom final touches are done here at the Spa Specialist.  I have read many spa specification sheets and seen many spas and no one has a spa built this well that I have seen or read about.  This is the spa that the whole line of Haven Spas is modeled after.
