The Spa and Sauna Company now has Clearance and Scratch and Dent Hot Tub Covers available at our Sparks Showroom, at 250 E. Glendale Ave., on the corner of McCarran Blvd. and Glendale Ave.

The Spa and Sauna Company gets Clearance and Scratch and Dent Covers from a variety of places and we are always getting more. If you are looking for a specific color or size, check back in with us every so often.

How We Get Clearance Hot Tub Covers

Some of the ways we get these covers are:

• When we do “haul-aways” where we remove someone’s hot tub (often to replace it with a brand-new one) and they no longer need their cover.
• When people decide to get a Cover Replacement, and if their old cover is in decent condition, we evaluate it for resale.
• When new Covers get lightly damaged in our warehouses. They’re practically new, but might have a small blemish or tear.

Regardless of where we got the cover, all our Clearance and Scratch and Dent Covers go through a thorough Spa and Sauna Company evaluation by our Inventory Specialist. If a hot tub cover doesn’t meet our standards, it is thrown away.

Hot Tub Cover Grading System

We have developed a grading system for our Clearance and Scratch and Dent Covers that allows us to price them between $100 to $400. This can be a steep discount from a new factory replacement cover, which typically start at $499.99. Deluxe covers for larger hot tubs or those with additional features or customizations can be over $599.99, when purchased new.

Our grading system includes:

• A level Clearance/Scratch and Dent Covers are priced around $400 and are like new.
• B level Clearance/Scratch and Dent Covers are priced around $300 and might be slightly worn.
• C level Clearance/Scratch and Dent Covers are priced around $200 and are typically moderately worn.
• D level Clearance/Scratch and Dent Covers are priced around $100 and are typically very worn or have minor rips.

Clearance and Scratch and Dent Covers are sold as a “cash and carry” item. We want to make sure you have seen the item first and assessed it thoroughly to make sure you are satisfied with its condition. Should you need your Clearance or Scratch and Dent Cover delivered, we would be glad to do that, for an additional fee.

Is a Clearance Hot Tub Cover Right for You?

A Clearance or Scratch and Dent Hot Tub Cover might be right for you if:

• A new cover is currently beyond your budget.
• You’ve bought one of our used hot tubs.
• You’re looking for a quality cover at a bargain price.

Visit us at 250 E. Glendale Ave. in Sparks today!

What is a Circ Pump or Circulation Pump? Do I need a Circ Pump? Why? What makes a Circ Pump essential for a quality hot tub?

In the blog below, we hope we can answer all of your questions about Circ Pumps.

What is a Circ Pump?

A Circ Pump is a low-flow pump that comes standard on most hot tubs carried by The Spa and Sauna Co. A Circ Pump keeps the water in a hot tub circulating at all times. This is done so the water inside the hot tub is being filtered, heated, and treated with sanitizer 24/7.

Do I need a Circ Pump? Why?

A Circ Pump is used to enhance your hot tub experience.

Since hot tub water is only changed about every 4 months, Circ Pumps are used to keep water fresher and cleaner for a long period of time.

The Circ Pump ensures that your water is moving and clean.

While you can still purchase a hot tub without a Circ Pump, our hot tub experts at The Spa and Sauna Company recommend that you purchase a hot tub with some sort of filtration system.

Hot Tubs without a Circ Pump often use a two-speed pump. The pump is on low-speed when circulating the water and on high-speed when running the jets.

Just like switching a light on and off often burns out an incandescent light bulb faster than leaving it on all day does, constantly changing the pump speed of a two-speed pump wears out the motor in the hot tub faster than using constant filtration provided by a Circ Pump.

If replacement and maintenance costs are a concern to you, you may be better off making a slightly larger up-front investment, in exchange for less repairs and replacement costs down the line, as well as a superior hot tub experience.

What makes a Circ Pump essential for a quality hot tub?

Would you like your water to be refreshed, filtered and heated, while you are in your hot tub? Without a Circ Pump, you need to alternate between those functions.

It comes down to what is more important to you. A hot tub with a Circ Pump has an easier time maintaining the temperature you’ve selected. That’s because while you are in the hot tub, the water circulates past the heater, and fresh, sanitized, heated waster comes out of the jets, while you use your tub.

With a two-pump system, you have to decide between heated water or moving jets.

Most people have a more enjoyable spa experience, when they can have both at the same time.

Here, at The Spa and Sauna Company, it is our goal to provide you with the most enjoyable hot tub experience, at a budget that suits your needs.

Circ Pump Hot Tub models we carry start at $6,999 and go up from there. They are typically available in the Caldera Paradise and Utopia Series; the Hot Spring Limelight, Highlife and Highlife NXT series; and the Sundance 780, 880 and 980 Series, depending on which showroom you visit.

The former owner of Hot Spring Spas of Santa Cruz and San Jose was honored earlier this month at the Hot Spring Spas annual dealer conference with a lifetime achievement award.

Patrick Carstens, who started Hot Spring Spas of Santa Cruz and San Jose in 1976, was inducted into the Hot Spring Spas Ring of Honor. The award is given to him for his lifetime of work supporting the Hot Spring Spas brand and the hot tub industry.

“We are thrilled that Patrick was recognized by Watkins Wellness for his life’s work and contribution to the Hot Spring Spas Hot Tub community,” said Scott Clark, owner of The Spa and Sauna Company, which acquired Hot Spring Spas of Santa Cruz and San Jose upon Carstens’ retirement at the beginning of 2019. “We certainly appreciate all that Patrick and his V.P. Lynda Sisk have done for Hot Spring Spas and the Santa Cruz and San Jose communities. We look forward to preserving and continuing their legacy.”

Hot Spring Spas of Santa Cruz and Hot Spring Spas of San Jose were started by Carstens and a previous partner in 1976. They were joined by Sisk in 1979. Carstens and Sisk have served the community for decades and introduced thousands of people in those communities to the hot tub lifestyle.

A few years ago, Watkins Wellness began doing something different to show special recognition to certain individuals that have committed themselves and their livelihood to our industry and brand, explained Cori Ritter, the Manager of Retail Marketing at Watkins Wellness, which manufactures Hot Spring Spas. In those instances, the individual is inducted and forever memorialized as a hero and one of the “greatest” in the franchise’s history. The award is awarded to an individual, not a company. And the recipients are inducted for a career and a lifetime of achievement and contributions to the success of the Hot Spring brand.

George Dahlheimer, of Hot Spring Spas of Dayton, Ohio, was also Inducted to the Ring of Honor this year.

Recipients of the award are evaluated on character traits, including:

• Passion
• Enthusiasm
• Competitive Spirit
• Willingness to be a Team Player

Here is the Statement from Watkins Wellness about Carstens and Sisk:

“[He’s] An ambassador of hot water wellness. He’s the real deal … a walking, talking legend, known for his passion and knowledge of our industry, and for embracing and promoting the myriad of benefits of hot tubbing.”

“He opened his doors in 1976, and became a Hot Spring Spas dealer in 1979. In fact, one of Watkins’ founders, OT Neal, originally signed him, and he’s represented our brand exclusively for 40 years, since we are now in 2019!”

“This is a person of genuine warmth and kindness. He’s also a highly celebrated leader in our network, earning three Multiple Store Productivity awards, the Scott Smith Service Excellence Award, and the Locksin Thompson Award. This is a person who is known for “doing the right thing.” An icon in our industry, this person is recognized for extensive knowledge and expertise not only on the benefits of hot tubbing, but he has extensive product knowledge. In fact, his expertise in customer service has helped Watkins throughout the years and his feedback has been invaluable. This person is also a smart leader, because of the pick he made to have [Lynda Sisk] help with marketing and sales more than 30 years ago, and he has trusted her ever since to do what she does best!”

We, at The Spa and Sauna Company, are truly grateful to Patrick and Lynda for all they have done for the Hot Spring Brand and the hot tub industry.

Working out in a hot tub offers the low-impact, high-resistant environment you need for a highly beneficial workout.

Here are three ways to strengthen your leg muscles in a hot tub.

Jogging in a hot tub
Your hot tub provides you with the perfect low-impact environment to strengthen your legs without pain. So, enjoy all the benefits of jogging without harm in the comfort of your hot tub.

Squats in a Hot Tub
Squats strengthen your glutes but can be hard on the knees. Hot tubs provide the buoyancy to support knee joints, for squats without pain.

Stretch in a Hot Tub
Stretch to avoid muscle injury; for better results; stretch in warm water so more oxygen and blood reaches your muscles. Whether you are exercising in your hot tub or simply stretching, sink in and prepare for a great workout.

So Go Ahead, Take a Soak, You Deserve It!
It’s fast, fun and relaxing. Not only that, it’s good for the body, soothes the mind and can improve your overall health and well-being.

To encourage local residents to check out the benefits of using a hot tub to help improve their overall health and well-being, The Spa and Sauna Company is providing free test soaks at all their showrooms. We do recommend, however, that people wanting to schedule their free 30-minute soak call us ahead of time to reserve their spot.

Investing in a luxurious item for your home is exciting.

Here are three reasons why the swim spa is quickly becoming the home addition of choice for homeowners.

1 – You Can Use it Year Round
A swimming pool at home is a treat for the entire family. But, a swim spa can be placed indoors or out, meaning you can use it all year long, even with snow on the ground! The perfect addition to an enclosed sunroom or patio, your swim spa is ready and waiting!

3 – It Can Double as a Hot Tub Spa
Heated, massaging water is exactly what the doctor ordered for soothing a tired, achy body. And that’s why hot tubs sell so well. How about the same exciting, relaxing benefit with lap swimming too? The modern swim spa can be equipped with a soothing spa and
lap swimming.

3 – It’s Perfect for Small Spaces
What about homeowners with limited backyard or patio space? A swim spa is the perfect solution! The average swim spa can be installed on a tiny deck, in a small backyard and even indoors. A compact machine with large benefits, the most luxurious swim spa takes up virtually no space at all.

So Go Ahead, Take a Swim, You Deserve It!
It’s, fast, fun and relaxing. Not only that, it’s good for the body, soothes the mind and can improve your overall health and well-being.

To encourage local residents to check out the benefits of using a swim spa to help improve their overall health and well-being, The Spa and Sauna Company is providing free swim spa test soaks at all their showrooms.

Sauna bathing is a popular activity that most people enjoy. Why? It feels great and is an excellent way to improve health and wellness.

Here are three incredible health benefits that come from regular sauna use.

Eliminate Unhealthy, Elevated Stress
Untreated stress can lead to health issues, that’s why relaxing a few minutes in the sauna is a sensible and practical lifestyle choice. The sauna is the one place at home where you can truly relax.

Encourage Healthy Sleep
Insomnia is nothing new. Rather than reaching for sleep aids, why not spend a few relaxing minutes in the sauna? With regular use, rejuvenating sleep comes naturally so you can be your best.

Sweat Out Dangerous Toxins
A deep, invigorating sweat is actually very healthy, and a smart way to rid the body of damaging lead, mercury and zinc. High heat from the sauna encourages perspiration. The result? A healthy, cleansing experience from the comfort of home.

So Go Ahead, Soak in a Sauna, You Deserve It!
It’s fast, fun and relaxing. Not only that, it’s good for the body, soothes the mind and can improve your overall health and well-being.

The post What to Expect from Regular Sauna Use, Infrared Sauna Lake Tahoe appeared first on The Spa and Sauna Company | Hot Tubs, Swim Spas, Saunas Dealer Reno, Portable Spas, Lap Pools.

“For most people, the goals they set on New Year’s Eve are really things they’d like to do, but they can’t find the strength to keep up with them after just a few days’ time.,” said Scott Clark, president of The Spa and Sauna Company.

One of the best things a person can do for themselves and their families is to install a hot tub in the home or backyard. Wherever the hot tub is, it has a multitude of benefits, and can help people live healthier and better in the New Year. Here are a few ways a hot tub can help people meet their goals:

A Portable Spa is a Good Excuse to Enjoy the Outdoors – For most people, the most practical space for a hot tub is in the yard or on a patio. Hot tubs can be used year-round, no matter the weather, and if it is installed under a gazebo, or porch roof, even in the rain and snow. No matter what the weather, getting out of the house, or other enclosed spaces like school and work buildings, is a healthy, invigorating thing that is good for the mind, body and spirit.

Where most of the time, people don’t think about going outside to relax, and instead settle onto the couch to watch television or play on gadgets, with a hot tub in the yard, they are drawn to the outdoors to enjoy fresh air, sunshine or any weather that is there, in a relaxing and luxurious atmosphere.

Hot Tubs Bring People Together – Because a hot tub is such a desirable place, everyone, young and old are drawn to it. This draws everyone in the house, and friends or extended relatives over to it, so that people spend more time communicating and enjoying each other’s company.

A hot tub becomes a social place where people in the family and friends circle can talk about issues and forget about life’s worries.

Hot Tubs Help People Lose Weight – Soaking in a hot tub regularly can help people lose unwanted pounds. Losing weight as many people know is one of the top New Year’s Resolutions every year It’s also one of the top three resolutions to fail within the first few weeks. It doesn’t have to be, however. Soaking in a hot tub increases blood flow, lowers blood sugar and elevates dopamine for a sense of well-being, all of which help increase both the desire to lose weight and the will to lose weight while also setting the body up to be able to lose weight easier.

To encourage local residents to check out the benefits of using a hot tub, swim spa or sauna to help improve their overall health and well-being, Spa and Sauna Company is providing free hot tub and swim spa test soaks. They do recommend, however, that people wanting to schedule their free 30-minute soak call them ahead of time to reserve their spot.

Here at The Spa and Sauna Company, we specialize in selling and maintaining hot tubs.

We will deliver your hot tub, but we do not hook up your hot tub to an electrical source.

As a courtesy, we will help you find an electrician, or a crane operator, or a concrete contractor, if you need one.

After being in business for nearly 30 years, we have delivered our share of hot tubs.

Most customers only require an electrician. Some customers need a concrete pad poured still. The occasional hot tub delivery, and most swim spa deliveries, require a crane.

Regardless of what you need, we are here to help. We want your hot tub or swim spa delivery to be as relaxing as possible.

For that reason, we have compiled a referral list of electricians, concrete contractors, and crane operators that we have worked with previously. Those that we feel are the best are on our referral list.

Should you need help finding an electrician, crane operator, or concrete contractor for your hot tub or swim spa installation, we will gladly share our list of vendors with you.

All you need to do is call our Customer Engagement Representative, Delivery Supervisor, or your Salesperson, and ask for the list.

Here are a few helpful hints. Have your electrical box installed prior to the delivery. Your electrician doesn’t need to be present for the delivery. Ask them to come back after the hot tub or swim spa has been filled to do the final connection.

We hope this has helped make getting your new hot tub a bit easier.

What is the perfect hot tub? Well, the answer is different for everyone and depends on quite a few factors. In fact, the BETTER question is, what is the perfect hot tub for YOU?

We have a short quiz, developed by our team of Hot Tub Experts, that can help our team of professionals get you in YOUR Perfect Hot Tub!

Height

How tall is the tallest person in your family?

Hot Tubs come in a variety of heights. Some are more comfortable for very tall people, while others are more comfortable for people under 6 feet tall.

While the best way to tell what is most comfortable for you is to actually get in a hot tub you are considering, the height of your tallest family members will help us pinpoint some hot tub models to start with.

Health Concerns

Does anyone who will be using the hot tub have Insomnia, Back Pain, Arthritis, or Sports Injuries?

Certain hot tubs have specialized jets designed specifically for certain areas of the body. Knowing what your biggest health concern is will help us determine if you would like hot tub circuit therapy or other special hot tub features related to jet placement and strength.

Number of People Who Will Use The Hot Tub

Is the hot tub just for you? For you and your partner? For you and a large family or all of your friends?

This question is so obvious, but it’s crucial to narrowing down your choices to what will fit your needs best.

Our hot tubs can accommodate 1 to 8 people. The choice of how many people you want in there is completely up to you!

Budget

This also helps us narrow down your choices significantly and direct you to a hot tub in your desired price range. New hot tubs are available starting at about $2,999.

Here are your choices:

Most Affordable or Used ($2,999 – $4,999)

Value on a Budget ($5,000 – $9.999)

Most Popular ($9,000 – $12,499)

With Bells & Whistles ($12,500 +)

Special Features

Finally, are you looking for any special features? Most hot tubs come with some lighting options, some have music available, and others have Salt Water Systems. Do any of those interest you?

By Laura Varnon, Marketing Coordinator

You’ve decided you want to buy a pool table. Maybe you’re not ready to commit to a big purchase, so you start searching Craigslist.

After a minute or two of searching, you see this ad.

Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? But what if the pockets are ripped? What if there are holes in the felt? That could be costly to repair.

How are you even going to get it home?

We at The Spa and Sauna Co. aren’t going to tell you that you shouldn’t buy a pool table on Craigslist, or from any other second-hand outlet, but we do want to share some helpful buying tips, so you can enjoy your purchase.

Before you buy a pool table off a site like Craigslist, or from any individual seller, there are a number of things you will want to consider.

1. Do you know how big of a pool table your room can accommodate? Pool tables are typically 7”, 8” or 9”. If you don’t know how large your room needs to be to fit a pool table, Click Here for a blog that will give you the dimensions you need.
2. Make sure you are purchasing a quality table. The seller should know the brand, and possibly the model, of the pool table.
3. Is the pool table in good repair? You can check this in a variety of ways. You should test the rails by rolling a ball hard at each rail and making sure it bounces back three to four times on all sides. Check the felt and pockets for holes or rips.
4. Is it a slate bed or a wood bed pool table? You can tell by the sound it makes when you knock on the felt. If it is slate, it will be a higher pitch knocking sound. If it is wood, it’s going to sound like lower, similar to the sound when you knock on a wooden door. If you are looking for a high-quality pool table, we recommend purchasing a slate pool table. Wood can warp, which doesn’t make for the best playing experience.
5. How is the construction underneath? If it’s metal, you might want to move on. You should see at least one wooden beam underneath the table, if it is of good quality.
6. Finally, what comes with it? Are there cues, brushes, balls, ball racks included with it? Or will you need to purchase those items separately?

If you do decide to purchase a used pool table, we can help you move it to the new location with experienced, professional installers. You can also make sure they level the table for you, so you have the best possible play experience. Click here to request a pool table set up, move or refelt.

Finally, if you’re more comfortable buying from an authorized pool table dealer, please know that, at The Spa and Sauna Co., we carry new and used pool tables. A play kit and delivery is included.

For more information on our used and entry-level pool tables, which start at about $1,999, Click Here.
