The Aquark Mr Silence 7kw and 11kw air source heat pumps were recognised, thanks to the patented airstream design technology; the sound level of Mr Silence is as low as a domestic fridge.

Gareth Ward, global sales director, said: “I am delighted that we have been awarded these Best Buy Awards; it's our most successful year to date. The WhatSpa? and WhatSwimSpa? magazines and websites are a really important tool for the end customer to use when finding their perfect hot tub or swim spa. It is also great for our partner network to proudly say they are selling an award-winning hot tub, swim spa or heat pump.”

Superior Wellness was founded in 2011 by current managing director Rob Carlin in his bedroom in Brimington. He had been importing electronics from China and selling them on eBay when, despite having little industry knowledge, he saw a gap in the market for entry level hot tubs to be retailed online. A decade later, Superior Wellness moved to a 130,000 sq ft premises on the Chesterfield Trading Estate which houses their warehouse, distribution centre and head office. Superior Wellness now has more than 200 partners worldwide.
