Hot Spring® Spas Leads the Way with State-of-the-Art Controls, Multi-Zone Lighting, Wireless Entertainment and More

Vista, CA, May 07, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Today, people are spending more time at home than ever before. With staycations and daycations now the norm, many homeowners have decided to enhance their daily comfort by creating a nicer living environment. Typically, investing in a home includes sprucing up the backyard with an outdoor living room and a hot tub.

These days, shopping for a hot tub requires a little time and research, especially since there are so many brands and models to choose from. Shoppers should consider that owning a hot tub means forming a long-term relationship with both the manufacturer and local dealer – so choosing who you buy from is as important as selecting the spa itself.

Hot Spring® Spas is the world’s number one-selling brand and is the spa of choice in over 800,000 backyards worldwide. “We are dedicated to making the world’s best hot tubs,” says Samantha Weiser, Brand Manager. “From advanced engineering and innovation to quality and customer service, we are devoted to providing the absolute best lifetime hot tub ownership experience.”

New-and-Improved Hot Tubs:

For 2009 all Hot Spring spa models received a next generation update – complete with state-of-the-art controls, multi-zone lighting, entertainment systems, customization options and a brand new style.

State-of-the-Art Controls
In less than a minute, you can easily learn how to operate and enjoy your Hot Spring spa with the intuitive IQ 2020® hot tub control panel. The 3.5” high-resolution, color LCD digital screen has large text that’s easy to read, especially at night.

Lighting by Design
Design a lighting theme that matches your mood with the Luminescence® four-zone lighting system. Individually control the four multi-color zones—underwater, bartop, pillows, and water feature—to enjoy a multitude of colors, or illuminate just one zone for a calming appearance.

Watch, Listen, and Enjoy
Entertainment-ready hot tub features allow you to choose an Integrated MP3 Sound System, Wireless Sound System, and/or Wireless TV to add to your Hot Spring spa at time of purchase or later down the road.

Traditional Meets Modern
With a clean-lined exterior and flowing curves throughout the interior, the new Hot Spring look is a modern expression of the traditional hot tub. Highlights include a new stylized bartop, custom jet recesses, and contemporary levers.

Customization
You can enjoy a built-in appearance that has all the benefits of a Hot Spring spa, with a Hot Spring Custom Cabinet spa. Custom Cabinet spas are specifically designed to be surrounded by a full or partial Hot Spring SpaStone™ surround to give the beauty of a natural-stone look, or any style of exterior surface to blend with any outdoor environment.

Earth Smart™
A new ABS substructure made of 100% recycled materials was introduced in 2009 on the Vanguard® and Aria® spa models.

“In addition to a reliable and innovative product, today’s hot tub shopper is also looking for low energy costs and an environmentally friendly product,” adds Weiser. Hot Spring has led the industry in the design, engineering and manufacturing of energy-efficient and Earth Smart™ hot tubs. You just can’t find a more energy-efficient hot tub, than a Hot Spring spa.
