About Hot Spring Spa
of North County

Hot Spring Spa of North County started in Escondido California in 1985. As the family business grew, so did showroom space. Now, the showroom proudly displays the best the industry has to offer in over 5000 square feet.

A great deal of research has been spent in selecting each of the products that we offer. We too are customers as we select products to sell and manufacturers to do business with. The first spa the family owned was a Hot Spring Spa dating back to 1978...it still works fine! We wanted more families to receive the same enjoyment, satisfaction and relaxation that we had for so many years so we opened our doors in 1985 carrying Hot Spring Spas. In 1987, we added Finnleo Saunas into our product mix. Having close Scandinavian ties, we understood and appreciated the many health benefits associated with saunas. We wanted to sell a true, authentic Finnish sauna as opposed to an "Americanized" sauna. Finnleo Saunas was selected for their quality, innovative heaters and true Finnish woods. In addition to our traditional Finnish Saunas, we also offer infrared heat therapy rooms from Finnleo. Above ground pools was added into the product offering in 1990. Originally, we offered metal wall pools in addition to our soft sided pools but now strictly specialize in the sales of KD pools and the Flexipool. In the early 1990's, Finnleo steam bath equipment was added as a wonderful compliment to the sauna products. In 1992, Hot Spring Spas introduced the Tiger River line of spas and then later the Solana, Hot Spot and Freeflow Spas came to round out our spa offerings. Now, we are importing a beautiful line of outdoor furniture products.

Throughout our years in business, we have always strived to offer quality products with quality accessory items and support products. Just as we research our larger products, we also research such products as chemicals, toys, gazebos, steps and other spa, pool, sauna accessories or outdoor furniture items. If we wouldn't own it ourselves, we wouldn't sell it.
