Nordic Encore LS Hot Tub

The Nordic Encore LS is a six-person hot tub made for buyers who want a welcoming corner layout, strong hydrotherapy, and a refined everyday-soak experience. Its deeply relaxing No-Float™ lounger, bucketed seating, and 53-jet configuration give it the kind of comfort many households want when they are comparing backyard spa options across Traverse City and the broader Northern Michigan area. It fits naturally into homes that value both relaxation and a practical footprint.

Phillips Lifestyles pairs the Encore LS with hands-on support that includes hot tub installation, maintenance, repairs, free in-home consultations, spa maintenance, and showroom test soaks for hot tubs. That combination is especially helpful for shoppers in nearby communities such as Gaylord, Prudenville, and Ludington who want a premium spa and a knowledgeable dealer to help guide the purchase.

Features and specifications

The Encore LS measures 84" x 84" x 35" and seats up to six adults. It operates on 220V with a 50A electrical requirement and holds 330 gallons of water. The dry weight is 585 lbs. That square footprint gives the spa a balanced, easy-to-place shape while still providing the substantial feel shoppers expect from a full-size hot tub.

Finish choices add flexibility without complicating the buying process. Shell colors include Eclipse, Drift, Coastal, and Shadow, while cabinet colors include Charcoal, Mahogany, Black, and Natural Cedar. That range makes it easier to coordinate the spa with a deck, patio, or enclosed outdoor living space.

Comfort and hydrotherapy

The Encore LS is designed around comfort-first seating. Its deeply bucketed seats provide a stable soak position for five users, while the No-Float™ lounger offers a more reclined place to stretch out and unwind. Nordic’s Dual Therapy System combines high-volume whirlpool flow with targeted direct-pressure jets, creating a massage experience that can feel both broad and focused in the neck, back, hips, and feet.

The jet layout supports that experience with a thoughtful mix of directional whirlpool and dual rotational jets. Rather than relying on one style of water action, the spa distributes pressure in a way that can help soothe tired muscles after work, exercise, or time outdoors. The stainless steel jet construction adds to the quality feel and helps reinforce the spa’s premium character.

Because the Encore LS uses a dual-pump system, it is built to maintain strong water movement while still delivering the calm, comfortable soak experience many families want. That balance makes it appealing for buyers who want something more capable than a basic spa without moving into an overly complicated setup.

For local buyers, the appeal is simple: this is a spa that supports regular use. Whether the goal is a quiet end-of-day soak or a weekend gathering spot, the combination of seating, lounger space, and massage variety gives the Encore LS broad everyday usability.

Options, finishes, and setup

Several upgrades allow the Encore LS to be tailored to the climate and the way it will be used. Nordic Wrap™ adds insulation value to the standard foam insulation package, which is a practical consideration for year-round ownership. The Northern Lights Package™ can add LED backlit waterfall and sidewall lighting, LED sconce lighting, lit rotational jets, and lit cup holders for a more inviting nighttime presentation.

Bluetooth stereo is available as an optional upgrade, and the Nordic Clean™ or Nordic Pure™ ozone option can help sanitize the water by destroying bacteria, viruses, and biodegradable materials. Those choices give owners a way to prioritize either simple comfort or a more feature-rich backyard retreat.

In addition, the Encore LS can fit well into a wide range of household settings, from primary residences to seasonal properties. For buyers near Ludington State Park or closer to inland neighborhoods, the spa’s compact square format and six-person capacity make it a versatile choice for people who want an accessible luxury soak without unnecessary complexity.

The standard 4 kW heater, control pad with LED display, and insulation options also matter for day-to-day ownership. Together, they support easier operation and a more comfortable experience across changing seasons. For many shoppers, that combination of usability and comfort is as important as the headline jet count.

Phillips Lifestyles service support

Phillips Lifestyles supports the purchase with services that matter before and after delivery. Available offerings include expert installation and maintenance for hot tubs, swim spas, fireplaces, and entertainment tables; hot tub repairs; a spa maintenance program; and free in-home consultations to help with product selection and placement. The company also invites showroom test soaks for hot tubs, which can be useful when comparing comfort and seat feel in person.

That service offering is backed by a business that has served Northern Michigan since 1980 and operates showrooms in Grawn and Traverse City. For shoppers who want product guidance along with post-sale support, it provides a practical path from selection to ongoing care. A locally friendly note: visitors who spend time around Backus Creek State Game Area may appreciate having a spa plan that is easy to maintain once installed.

If you are comparing a new spa for a home in or around Traverse City, Phillips Lifestyles offers the kind of service structure that can make the process smoother. From planning the space to keeping water care manageable, the support side of the purchase is well developed.
