Massage systems: what’s the difference?
Neptune V2: a complete and versatile massage
The Neptune V2 offers a balanced massage thanks to its 78 jets strategically placed across the 5 seats. The 3 pumps of 3HP ensure constant and powerful pressure. This spa is ideal for those seeking full-body relaxation.
💧 Distributed jets
Targeted massage on the back, legs, and feet for complete relaxation.
🌊 Waterfalls & fountains
2 waterfalls for the neck and shoulders + 4 fountains for ambiance.
🔬 UV filtration
UV disinfection system for healthier water with fewer chemicals.
Volcano: the ultimate therapeutic experience
The Volcano goes further with 94 jets and especially its patented Volcano Massage™ technology. The additional air pump adds a bubble massage dimension that complements the hydro massage.
This air + water combination is especially appreciated for:
- Chronic back pain
- Muscle tension related to stress
- Sports recovery
- Circulation problems
Comfort and ergonomics
Both spas offer the same seat configuration: 2 reclining positions and 3 seated positions. This layout lets everyone find their ideal spot.
The depth difference
The Volcano is 10 cm deeper (92 cm compared to 82 cm for the Neptune V2). This extra depth offers better shoulder immersion, increased comfort for taller people, and a more enveloping sensation.
The Volcano's footrests
The Volcano has a major ergonomic advantage: built-in footrests on the reclining seats. This smart design allows all body types to fully enjoy lying positions, no matter your height. No more legs floating or "lifting" in the water! Your feet stay firmly supported, letting you relax completely and enjoy the back massage without constantly having to reposition yourself.

📱 Volcano — Gecko SmartTouch

Equipment and technologies
Audio system
If music is important to you, the Volcano has the edge with its Aquasoul™ Max 2.1 system offering superior sound quality with a built-in subwoofer. The Neptune V2 offers a functional but more basic Bluetooth system.
Filtration and maintenance
The Neptune V2 features UV filtration that makes water treatment easier by reducing chemical use — a more eco-friendly and gentle solution for the skin. The Volcano has dual filtration and a circulation pump that ensures continuous filtration even when idle.
Wifi option
Both models can be equipped with the Wifi option for remote control from your smartphone. Temperature, jets, lighting: manage everything from your couch or even before you get home!
Price and value for money
