Who the Totem Is Designed For
The Totem suits buyers who want a large spa that works therapeutically — not just a place to sit in hot water. Seven seats means it serves a group, but the layout is designed so each seat has meaningful jet coverage rather than being a bystander position.
Active households, buyers who use a spa for recovery after physical activity, and families where multiple people have therapeutic needs that a spa can address are the buyers the Totem fits.
Seating Layout and Therapy Zones
The Totem’s seating arrangement prioritizes therapeutic positioning. Seats are angled and shaped to direct jets at the key recovery zones — neck and shoulder, lumbar, and legs. The layout is designed to work for multiple bathers simultaneously without any seat being underserved.
Seven seats in a large format gives each bather room without the cramped feel that some multi-person spas produce at capacity.
Jets and Performance
With 40 jets across a large interior, the Totem’s jet layout is distributed to serve the therapeutic design of the seating. The independently adjustable jets allow each bather to customize their experience.
For buyers coming from a basic spa with low-pressure, poorly positioned jets, the Totem’s Classic Series hydrotherapy is a significant step up. The difference is apparent from the first soak.
Totem vs. McKinley: Two Large Classic Options
Both the Totem and McKinley are large seven-person Classic Series spas with 40 jets. The distinction lies in seating layout — the Totem is designed around therapeutic positioning, while the McKinley is designed around spacious, versatile seating. Neither is objectively better; the choice depends on whether you prioritize therapy or versatility.
The most reliable way to distinguish between them is to sit in both at a Poolboy showroom.
New Brunswick Perspective
The Totem is popular among New Brunswick buyers who are serious about using a spa for recovery — athletes, people with back or joint issues, or anyone who has done the research on hydrotherapy benefits and wants a spa that delivers on those claims. At the Classic Series price point, it represents strong value for that buyer profile.
