The Pace™ is a five-person, double-lounge plug-and-play hot tub in the Hot Spot® Series, the value/entry tier manufactured by Hot Spring Spas, a Watkins Wellness brand. Measuring 6'10" × 6'10" with a 300-gallon water capacity, the Pace pairs two reclined contoured lounge seats side-by-side with a Bucket Seat and two Bench Seats across 24 jets. It is one of the few Hot Spring models that ships configured for 115 V / 20 amp plug-and-play installation (with a 230 V / 50 amp convertible option), uses FiberCor® high-density insulation, and is FreshWater® Salt System Ready. The Pace fits beautifully in smaller spaces without giving up quality or hydrotherapy performance. The Pace is sold and serviced through Seven Seas Pools & Spas.
5 adults (Double Lounge with two reclined contoured seats, one Bucket Seat, two Bench Seats)
6'10" × 6'10" × 33" tall (208 × 208 × 84 cm)
24 total across four jet types
FreshWater® Salt System Ready
The Pace fits households that want two loungers in one tub without stepping up to the larger and more expensive Highlife® or Limelight® tiers. The Double Lounge layout, two reclined, contoured seats side-by-side, is unusual at the value-tier price point, and the 115 V plug-and-play option removes the cost and scheduling friction of a 230 V hardwired install. That makes the Pace a strong fit for couples, condo and townhome decks, smaller backyards, and first-time if you want a true Hot Spring spa without the electrical work. Hot Spring also gives the Pace the SmartJet® System, a flow-distribution feature that is unique to the Pace within the Hot Spot Series, letting solo or paired users send water pressure to specific seats rather than the whole spa.

The Pace uses a single Wavemaster® 6200 two-speed jet pump rated 1.5 HP continuous duty / 3.2 HP breakdown torque, paired with a SilentFlo 5000® circulation pump that runs continuously for low-noise filtration. The 24 jets are arranged across four engineered jet types:
| Jet Type | Count | Targeted Area |
|---|---|---|
| XL Directional Hydromassage | 3 | Deep muscle relief with a powerful directional stream |
| Directional Hydromassage | 2 | Adjustable directional pressure |
| Rotary Hydromassage | 2 | Rotating circular motion for deep muscle massage |
| Directional Precision® | 17 | Adjustable up, down, left, and right for pinpoint muscle treatment across the loungers, Bucket Seat, and Bench Seats |
The Pace is FreshWater® Salt System Ready, meaning the spa is engineered for the FreshWater® Salt System (sold separately or bundled by Seven Seas) rather than shipping with the salt system pre-installed. The salt system "automatically generates chlorine from salt for soft, natural-feeling water without harsh odors, itchy skin, or irritated eyes," with water balance holding for up to a full year between drain-and-refill cycles when properly maintained.

Hot Spring publishes the Pace's warranty terms explicitly. Seven Seas honors and processes warranty claims for every Pace sold:
| Warranty Component | Coverage |
|---|---|
| Structure | 5 years |
| Shell surface | 2 years |
| Cabinet | 2 years |
| Plumbing | 2 years |
| No-Fault® heater | 2 years |
| Components | 2 years |
| Interior lighting | 2 years |
The 5-year structure warranty is the standard term across the Hot Spot® Series. The longer 7-year structure and shell warranty available on the Highlife® Series is one of the upgrade reasons households step up from Hot Spot.
The Pace centers on the Double Lounge experience. Two reclined and contoured seats sit side-by-side, allowing a pair of soakers to lay back simultaneously with legs extended, a format that feels closer to a shared loveseat than a standard tub, and one that very few hot tubs at this price tier offer. Comfort Control® dials overall intensity from a soft touch to a powerful working massage without changing seats, while the SmartJet® System routes flow to specific jet groups so a solo or paired soak doesn't waste water pressure on empty seats. The single Bucket Seat cradles the body for a longer, deeper sit, and the two Bench Seats give visiting friends room to shift around during a longer evening session. With 24 jets across four jet types, XL Directional Hydromassage, Directional Hydromassage, Rotary Hydromassage, and Directional Precision®, the Pace concentrates its jet count on the loungers and Bucket Seat where soakers spend the most time.

View Freeflow Series Hot TubsSeven Seas also carries the Caldera Spas brand, Hot Spring's sister Watkins Wellness line. At this value tier, cross-shopping comparisons typically include the Pace against the Caldera Vacanza® Series and Caldera Fantasy® Series. The two brands take different approaches to hydrotherapy, Hot Spring builds the Hot Spot experience around the SmartJet® System, Comfort Control®, and Hot Spring's signature jet engineering; Caldera tunes its value-tier spas around its own seat ergonomics and jet patterns. Both deliver excellent therapeutic massage at the value tier, they simply feel quite different. Seven Seas carries both brands. Call or stop by your local Seven Seas Pools & Spas location to see which Caldera and Hot Spring models are currently on display and available for comparison. The full Caldera vs Hot Spring comparison covers the differences in detail.

Visiting a showroom is the fastest way to lay back in the Double Lounge, see the four shell colors and three cabinet finishes side-by-side, and confirm that the 6'10" × 6'10" footprint fits the deck or patio you have in mind. Call or visit your local Seven Seas Pools & Spas location to schedule a private wet-test soak appointment with the models currently on the floor.
The Pace ships convertible between two electrical configurations:
Site requirements:
Level reinforced concrete pad, deck capable of supporting 4,150 lbs filled, or a prepared spa pad
24" minimum service clearance on at least one side for equipment access
Standard delivery to ground-level installations
Seven Seas offers full delivery and installation service including site assessment, electrical coordination if you choose the 230 V conversion, and post-fill water balancing.
Because the Pace is FreshWater® Salt System Ready rather than salt-installed-standard, owners can choose to run the spa on traditional chlorine or bromine water care, or upgrade to the FreshWater® Salt System (chlorine generated automatically from salt) at any point. The salt-water cycle can hold water balance for up to a full year between drain-and-refill cycles when properly maintained.
The 100% no-bypass filtration with Polyester Filters with Free-Flow Core means every drop of water passes through the filters during jet operation, unlike spas that bypass their filters when jets are running. Filter cleaning runs on a monthly cadence, see the filter care guide in the owners area. For broader guidance, the salt-water hot tub care guide covers cartridge replacement, ozone interaction, and seasonal draining intervals.
The Pace is configured at the factory for 115 V / 20 amp plug-and-play installation, using a Protected Power Cord that plugs into a dedicated 20-amp circuit. Most U.S. homes use 15-amp outlets in living spaces, confirm your circuit rating before ordering, and budget for an electrician to install a dedicated 20-amp circuit if you don't already have one. Alternatively, the Pace converts to 230 V / 50 amp for faster heating and more simultaneous jet/heat performance, which requires a GFCI subpanel and licensed-electrician hardwire.
SmartJet® distributes water pressure to specific jet groups and seats rather than running every jet on the spa at once. On a five-person spa with the Double Lounge layout, that lets a solo or paired soak send full pump pressure to the loungers without diluting it across the unused Bench Seats. Within the Hot Spot Series, SmartJet® is offered only on the Pace; the Relay® and Rhythm® do not include SmartJet®. SmartJet® is also offered across the Highlife® and Limelight® tiers.
Yes, and uniquely, two of them. The Pace's defining seat layout is the Double Lounge: two reclined, contoured seats positioned side-by-side so two people can lay back at the same time with legs extended. Most Hot Spot models with a lounger include only one (Relay®, Stride®). If a single lounger plus six-seat capacity is more important than two loungers in five seats, the Relay® is the next step up.
The Pace is FreshWater® Salt System Ready, meaning the spa is engineered for the salt system but ships without it pre-installed. The system is sold separately or bundled by Seven Seas. If you want the most automated water care included standard need the Highlife® Series, where the FreshWater® IQ Salt System is installed at the factory.
Both are 115 V plug-and-play capable Hot Spot models with a lounger. The differences:
The Pace is the right pick when two people want to lounge simultaneously; the Stride is the right pick for a smaller footprint and a lower-cost entry into the series.
The Pace carries a 5-year structure warranty and 2-year coverage on the shell surface, cabinet, plumbing, heater, components, and interior lighting. The Highlife flagship, the Grandee®, carries a 7-year structure and shell warranty and 5-year coverage on the cabinet, plumbing, heater, and components. The longer warranty is one of the main reasons households step from the Hot Spot tier to the Highlife tier.
Hot Spring engineers the Hot Spot Series for low operating cost via FiberCor® high-density insulation, the Polymeric Substructure with Polyethylene Sealed Bottom, the patented Pump Shroud (which captures equipment-compartment heat for the water), and the SilentFlo 5000® circulation pump (less power than a 40-watt bulb). The Pace also meets CEC and APSP 14 standards. Actual monthly cost depends on local utility rates, ambient temperature, use frequency, and whether you run the 115 V or 230 V configuration, ask a Seven Seas advisor for an operating-cost estimate based on your climate and electricity rate.
Yes for both, with planning. Decks must support 4,150 lbs filled, a structural review by a contractor is recommended before installation. Indoors requires moisture-resistant flooring rated for the filled weight, an electrician-approved 115 V or 230 V feed, and active humidity ventilation. See the indoor installation guide for full requirements. For decks and patios in tight footprints, condo balconies, townhome backyards, or retrofit installs, the Pace's compact 6'10" × 6'10" footprint and plug-and-play option are the reasons it's a popular pick at this tier.
No. Moto-Massage® DX (the dual-stream sweeping back massage) is a Highlife® Series feature. Within the Hot Spot Series, the single-jet Moto-Massage® (one sweeping stream) is offered on the SX and TX. The Pace's hydrotherapy centers on the Double Lounge, the SmartJet® System, and Comfort Control® rather than a moving jet.
