"Myself and my wife, Sarah, have had much experience in the use of Equine Spas since we imported the first ones into Europe back in 2001 for our Centre for Natural Equine Therapy. I felt that the subsequent problems and daily headaches in the usage of those first Spas could, and should be ironed out. Hence the UK production of the ECB Equine Spa was begun with the continued and ardent support of Professor Evan Hunt.
Specifically, we chose to use fibreglass in ECB spa production as we felt it has the following benefits over less suitable materials...
Very easy to keep clean and keep immaculate
Hygienic
Does not retain rust causing metal residues from horses shoes
Will not rust from salt content of water
Guaranteed
G.R.P. (Glass Reinforced Polyester) Equine Therapy Spas are quite simply the best Spas that you can buy. G.R.P. has a better strength to weight ratio than steel, is a natural insulating material, it won't warp, shrink or rust and is virtually maintenance free.
A modern composite laminate, G.R.P. is a versatile and well proven construction material that has been in use for over 50 years in a huge variety of applications, from boatbuilding, to motor vehicles, to building materials.
GRP is an inherently dent resistant laminate, able to withstand knocks and blows that would easily permanently deform and damage a steel or aluminium Spa.
Unlike steel, GRP door panels will not rust or corrode, and are particularly suitable for areas with high concentration of water, condensation and salt where steel Spas are severely tested and often have a disappointingly brief life.
Unlike other materials, GRP structures will not shrink, swell, warp or twist and do not require the regular attention needed to ensure a metal Spa retains its good looks.
When cured, each section of the Equine Spa is a single homogenous composite panel that includes galvanised steel stiffening for strength and solidity as an integral part of its structure.
One further significant feature of GRP is its' ease of repair. Should any area of your Equine Spa become scratched or damaged, GRP, more than any other material used in Equine Spa construction, is easily and effectivelyrestored leaving a repair that would pass the closest inspection.
GRP is probably the ultimate material from which to manufacture an Equine Therapy Spa.
