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.

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.

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.

The Spa and Sauna Company includes local delivery with the sale of our hot tubs. These deliveries are provided by a team of trained hot tub delivery experts, who are all team members at The Spa and Sauna Company.

“We want to control the whole experience from beginning to end,” said Spa and Sauna Company Operations Manager Joe Lake. “That way we know they’re happy with their sale, as well as delivery.”

Hot Tub Delivery

Some other area spa dealers include spa delivery in the sale price, but others don’t. Some provide local delivery only in the Reno/Sparks area. Others have a base charge of about $200, that increases based on the difficulty of the delivery.

So how much is a hot tub delivery worth? The Spa and Sauna Company values local delivery at several hundred dollars. That’s a great value to be included when you purchase a hot tub from The Spa and Sauna Company. Our trained professionals will bring the hot tub directly into your backyard and place it precisely where you want it.

The only exception is when a crane or other machinery is needed. And in that case, we can provide referrals to crane vendors we have worked with in the past. If you need a crane, you would pay the vendor directly, just like your electrician. While crane delivery is rare in the Reno/Sparks/Tahoe area, it is sometimes necessary when the spa will be on a hillside or a second or third story deck.

Pool Table and Shuffleboard Delivery

While we do use subcontractors to deliver and assemble the pool tables and shuffleboards we sell, the subcontractors we work with have over 15 years of experience and have worked with The Spa and Sauna Company for years.

How much is a pool table or shuffleboard delivery worth? Again, we value it at several hundred dollars.

Our Delivery and Service Team

A hot tub is a long-term investment and over the course of its life, you may need service or routine maintenance. Our Service Team includes factory-certified technicians, some with over a decade of experience.

See some of our Delivery and Service experts below.
