In the early days, hot tubs and spas were custom-made, but over the course of time, we ended up selling many manufacturers’ brands. The Hot Tub Store at the old farmhouse in North Santa Rosa is the place where, in 1979, we sold our first Hot Spring® brand spa—a rather unusual looking, dog dish that ran on 110 volts. It was definitely different looking (maybe even a bit on the ugly side), but it worked! It was the first self-contained, fully insulated unit that had all the equipment built into the cabinet. Standing the test of time, Hot Spring® spas always stood out above the rest—even in their early designs. Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) did a test of several major hot tubs manufactured at that time and found the only hot tub that was at all energy efficient was the Hot Spring® spa model. It was found to cost about $12 per month, and it held its temperature for four days! In comparison, redwood and other plastic shell models typically lost temperature overnight. The Hot Spring® spa models of today are still designed and built with energy efficiency as one of the most important features so they can be enjoyed daily.
