THE SPASEARCH STORY
Simply stated… We are an organization dedicated to consumers evaluating the merits of swimming pool or spa ownership. Poolsearch supports families purchasing inground or aboveground pools, while SpaSearch focuses exclusively on spas. To support this cause, we have developed a collection of magazines, web sites and bulletin boards focused exclusively on educating consumers about the fascinating pool and spa industry.
AN INDEPENDENT MAGAZINE
A manufacturer is NOT required to pay Spasearch any fee to be listed in our magazines or on our websites. Spasearch and our website,spasearch.org are independently owned and operated. No portable spa manufacturer owns, controls or has any financial interest in our business. Further, our editors do not invest in firms whose products we include in our magazine.
FAIR, ACCURATE AND INDEPENDENT
RESULTS
Rewarding Quality and Service in the Hot Tub Industry In each issue, SPASEARCH
will recognize a select number of hot tub manufacturers
that consistently provide a superior
buying experience for new hot tub owners. Purchasing a hot tub or exercise pool
from a Spasearch-endorsed company means the
homeowner has selected one of the most reputable businesses in North America
based on audited customer satisfaction
results. SPASEARCH will recognize
these highly professional businesses with our Spasearch Certified™
and Spasearch Approved™ insignias
and offer editorial recognition in our publications, website and monthly
e-newsletters.
To maintain complete impartiality, our publisher, editors and writers do not
invest or maintain any personal financial stake in any
firm whose hot tub is reviewed in Spasearch. Instead, SPASEARCH
employs a third partyaccounting
firm to audit customer satisfaction surveys submitted by homeowners who purchase
and installhot tubs in North
America.
SPASEARCH HOT TUB SOURCEBOOK
The decision to purchase a spa is an easy one; selecting the manufacturer is usually a much more perplexing and complicated decision. After all, your spa must be built with quality materials and superior craftsmanship to last for years.
Today, more than 175 companies manufacture spas in the United States and Canada. Imagine sifting through all the information sources necessary to make a decision to find the perfect spa to compliment your lifestyle. It is a daunting task. Seemingly, it is nearly impossible to do a thorough evaluation of a single spa manufacturer much less when evaluating multiple companies who incorporate unique terminology and trademarked names to compare similar features.
SOURCEBOOK ACCURACY
SpaSearch has consolidated our Buyers' Guide to summarize the "major" players in the industry. Due to obvious logistics, we do not conduct individual independent product evaluations of each spa product; instead we rely information provided by our editors, manufacturers, consumers, and other 3rd parties to evaluate products when printing our planning guides. SpaSearch has omitted many specialized and regional spa manufacturers, which may produce excellent quality spas because of space limitations. In addition, we have eliminated numerous manufacturers because we were unable to obtain and confirm information about their hot tubs prior to printing this guide.
Because of the inherent delay and risk of inadvertently omitting or misprinting information in our publications, we recommend each homeowner conduct a through evaluation of their manufacturer before purchasing. You may also find more current information and a complete listing of all manufacturers at our Online Resources page.
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
In using any and all services provided by members of the Spasearch Network, the consumer acknowledges that Spasearch is not acting as a spa manufacturer, spa retailer, general contractor, agent or lawyer. It is the consumer’s responsibility to select a manufacturer and contractor and to negotiate the terms for any work performed. Consumers should consult with appropriate expert advisors to assist in home improvements and spa/pool construction, including a lawyer regarding contracts, permits and other necessary job documentation, and an insurance professional regarding contractor’s and owner’s insurance coverage requirements. Due to the inherent time delay in the data-gathering process, pending actions or other issues affecting a manufacturer or contractor’s record may have occurred that were not captured by third-party data sources prior to publishing materials in our planning guides and websites.
