The Spa and Sauna Co. is proud to announce that it has added two showrooms to The Spa and Sauna Family.

Hot Spring Spas of Santa Cruz and Hot Spring Spas of San Jose, both previously operated by Patrick Carstens and his V.P. Lynda Sisk, are now owned and operated by The Spa and Sauna Co., led by Company Owners Scott Clark and Shelley Ingram-Clark.

The Hot Spring Spas of Santa Cruz and San Jose showrooms have a 40-plus year history in the Santa Cruz and San Jose, California markets and are known as the industry leaders in the areas they serve. They specialize in Hot Spring Spas and Endless Pools, as well as Covana Covers for Endless Pools, and will soon add Big Green Egg Barbecues and Finnleo Saunas to the mix.

All of these products are well-known by The Spa and Sauna Company, as their Nevada showrooms have been carrying them for many years.

“We are so glad to bring Hot Spring Spas of Santa Cruz and San Jose into The Spa and Sauna Co. family,” said new owner Scott Clark. “When I first started selling hot tubs, over 30 years ago, I was working in Greater Bay Area and we started our business in San Jose, in 1990, so this has really come full circle.”

While their core products, Hot Springs Spas, Fantasy Spas and Endless Pools, will remain unchanged, Clark is excited to bring The Spa and Sauna Co. marketing and management techniques to the California-based Hot Tub showrooms.

“We are pleased to let you know that we will continue to offer the same great products, and sell and service the same great products. Best of all, the entire team at Hot Spring Spas of Santa Cruz and San Jose has been retained and is poised to grow,” said Clark.

“After 43 years of being in this incredible industry, we have realized it’s time to retire! Patrick and I will miss our wonderful staff, the many industry companions we have made and mostly our customers,” said V.P./General Manager Lynda Sisk as a farewell on their Google My Business page, just before the sale was finalized. “Thank you for making this such an enjoyable business and for all of your support. We have sold the business to another Hot Spring dealer who has been in the industry since 1990 and will continue to provide you with the quality service and products you have come to expect. Happy Hot tubbing!”

Saunas can be a complicated purchasing decision. You might have a lot of questions.  Here, at The Spa and Sauna Company, we do our best to educate our customers and make that decision a bit easier.

So, after you’ve decided you want a sauna, it’s time to decide if you are looking for a pre-built or custom sauna AND if you want a Traditional or Infrared sauna, or an InfraSauna, which is a combination of the two.

Keep in mind, there is no right or wrong type of sauna. It’s truly a matter of personal preference.

This year, we embraced a new philosophy called “You Ask, We Answer” to help keep our customers as informed as possible. After being in business since 1990, our potential customers and customers have asked a lot of questions. We have been honored to answer them.

Here are some highlights of our most read blogs and most watched videos, inspired by Spa and Sauna Company events and questions from real people like you!

Here at The Spa and Sauna Company we know that Endless Pools are the best Swim Spas available on the market today. Let’s explore some of the reasons why.

Manufacturer

Endless Pools is owned by the same corporation that produces most of the hot tub brands we carry at The Spa and Sauna Company. They offer superior customer support, access to replacement parts, and warranty services. We have worked with this company for a long time and they have earned their place as an industry-leader, after more than 40 years in the hot tub business.

We have sold and serviced other swim spas in the past, but we have found that their customer service was severely lacking, making for a less enjoyable long-term customer experience. While their product may be less expensive than some series of Endless Pools, or even similarly priced to the value-line R Series of Endless Pools, we have found that other brand’s quality just doesn’t stand the test of time, like Endless Pools’ swim spas do.

Product Innovation

There are also fewer unique offerings available from other brands of swim spas. A swim spa from another manufacturer typically only offers a basic above ground backyard swim leisure experience, while Endless Pools has 3 unique series. One is designed for athletes, another for those looking for a combination of exercise and recreation, and a third for those looking for backyard relaxation.

The E-Series and X-Series have no equal in terms of their proprietary Swim Machine Technology and Options Underwater Treadmill. Let’s explore those below.

The Endless Pools E-Series (Fitness Systems)

The Endless Pools Fitness Systems or E-Series provides the opportunity for low-impact exercise, with features such as an optional underwater treadmill, rowing bar, and strength training equipment. It is ideal for an athlete, who wants to train at home. The E-Series offers a swim-in-place experience, that feels like swimming in open water, due to its custom-made hydraulically powered propulsion system. In addition, you will also have three comfortable jetted seats for relaxation and hydrotherapy. The E-Series is available in three different lengths, including 15 feet, 17 feet and 20 feet long. As the highest-end option, with the most elective features, and add-ons, the E-Series starts in the mid-$30,000 range and goes up from there.

The Endless Pools X-Series (SwimCross Exercise Systems)

The Endless Pools SwimCross Exercise System features five air-free swim jets and exercise opportunities, with rowing and resistance exercise. This series is best for those who are looking to exercise, as well as relax. The X-Series is designed to make it easier for swimmers to stay centered and afloat, due to the jet configuration. The top jets provide resistance, while the bottom jets provide lift. The X-Series also offers comfortable jetted seats with hydrotherapy benefits. The X-Series comes in sizes including 12, 15 and 20 feet long. Pricing starts in the in the mid-$20,000 range.

The Endless Pools R-Series (RecSport)

The RecSport Recreational System by Endless Pools offers a high-quality swim spa at an affordable price. This series is best for those looking for leisure or even a really big hot tub. This value-line swim spas features three airless swim jets, seating for the family, hydromassage jets, and ample room for recreation. The RecSport is 12 feet long. It starts under $20,000, including delivery.

Construction

The E-Series and X-Series of Endless Pools come with proprietary Steel-Frame Construction, to support the height, weight and water volume inside those Endless Pools. The cabinet’s design is sleek and stylish, because form is just as important as function.

While steel-frame construction makes sense for those two swim spa series, we feel Wood-Frame Construction for the R-Series and hot tubs is more economical and doesn’t reduce the lifespan of those products. Steel Frames on Hot Tubs would be cost prohibitive, without enhancing the product. Our hot tubs last decades and offer the best price and value.

Conclusion

Other swim spa brands may even use the term “EP” in their product description, to give the appearance that they are associated with Endless Pools. Don’t be fooled! There is only one Endless Pools and all of their products will be clearly marked.

The Spa and Sauna Company deals exclusively with Endless Pools for Swim Spas because we feel they match our dedication to the highest quality products and best customer experience, at any budget.

Buying a hot tub is a big decision and today it’s easier to be more informed than ever. Don’t fall for common spa myths perpetrated by other hot tub dealers.

Here are some of the most common spa buying myths we’ve heard from customers who have visited other spa dealers.

Myth #1: All Spas are the same.

We, at The Spa and Sauna Company, know all spas are NOT the same. That’s why we carry several high-quality brands at different showrooms, simply because different people have different needs that can be met by different brands. While our entry level spas are a great value for the price, they aren’t the same as our premium models.

Myth # 2: We’ll beat any price.

Some dealers of other hot tub brands will offer a direct competing quote, but spas vary in quality. Dealerships vary in customer experience, too.

At The Spa and Sauna Company, our team includes trained sales professionals, delivery teams, and factory-certified service technicians to help you enjoy every phase of your spa ownership experience.

For that reason, it is impossible to go in for a quote from The Spa and Sauna Company on a specific hot tub and then get a comparable quote on the exact same spa from another dealer down the road. There just isn’t another dealer that can offer the same product, with the same team with the same level of experience.

We also recommend that you take the location of your spa dealer into consideration when you make a purchasing decision. In order to obtain the best service, you might want to select a dealer that is closest to you, while also making sure they provide top-notch customer service.

Myth #3: Spas don’t require any chemicals or maintenance.

We have discussed this before, but it deserves repeating. Hot Tubs need to be sanitized with proper water care. At The Spa and Sauna Company, we have a variety of water care options available to fit your needs. Click Here to learn about the variety of easy water care options available from The Spa and Sauna Company.

It is important to remember that all hot tubs require some type of water care and maintenance. It is simply not safe to get in a hot tub that has not been sanitized.

Myth #4: A new spa manufacturer/dealer makes and sells the best spas.

We say this myth raises the Red Flag Alert! All of the hot tub brands we carry have a long history, of  several decades! If you go to a spa dealership that is offering a brand-new spa line, it’s quite possible that the issues with these spas haven’t been discovered yet and the service that may be needed in the future won’t be available. Dealers and spa manufacturers with a short history tend not to stick around for the long haul.

Here, at The Spa and Sauna Company, we’ve been in business since 1990. We have service technicians with more than a decade of experience working on quality hot tubs, such as Caldera, Hot Spring, Sundance and Freeflow Spas. They know these hot tubs well and are available to service your hot tub when needed. We know what can break and what parts to have in stock when you need them. We are always available to help. Should you need service, Click Here.

Myth #5: Hot Tubs are too expensive.

False!

Here at The Spa and Sauna Company, we sell new and used hot tubs, with a wide price range. Used Hot Tubs are available starting at $1,999. New Hot Tubs start at $2,999. We have dozens of hot tubs to choose from, priced anywhere between $1,999 and $19,999.

Special financing is also available, allowing for low monthly payments, upon approved credit.

We carry such a variety of hot tub brands and price points because we believe (1) Everybody needs a hot tub, and (2) Everybody can have a hot tub. We believe that so fully, it’s our company’s mission statement.
