Thanks to all of our customers that have supported our Minnetonka showroom over the years. We will be closing the doors at that location for good on November 27th. We will be moving to a new, larger location in the area with a planned opening set for January 15th, 2014! Our new location will be more convenient and much larger. We'll be able to show a larger variety of products including many of our pre-owned spas, which are very popular! 

We appreciate your patience with us during our transition. We will still be offering sales and service from our LAke Elmo location without interruption. If you're in need of supplies, we'll be able to ship them directly to your home. We will have discounts on all supplies at both Twin Cities locations through the 27th, so it's a great time to stock up for the winter!

We will keep you posted on our website and Facebook when we can announce our new location. If you'd like to be included in our email club, please let us know! 

Thanks for your patience!

The health benefits of using a sauna are well known. From easing aches and pains to reducing stress, even helping to induce a better night’s sleep, the advantages of sitting and relaxing in a sauna are undisputed. 

However, how about for skin care? Can the heat and steam from a sauna actually restore vitality and improve the condition of the skin? Here are three ways using a sauna can encourage beautiful, clear skin.

Open the Pores For a Deep Clean - Most of us know how important it is to keep our skin clean and clear. Yet despite our best efforts, just living every day adds a significant amount of dirt and debris to a freshly washed face and body. Toxins collect underneath the skin causing pimples, blackheads and other issues, leaving us forever searching for stronger cleansers and antibacterial solutions. Luckily, using a sauna is an easy way to get that deep cleansing you need to keep the skin clean and vibrant. A few minutes is all it takes for the body’s pores to open, releasing harmful bacteria and contaminants that would normally be trapped under the skin. Sweating is an all natural and completely healthy way to deep clean without harsh cleansers or astringents.

Promote New Cell Growth…Naturally - One of the ways we stay looking young and fresh is by producing new skin cells. The skin naturally replaces its cells every so often, but can look even better if that process is accelerated. Over-the-counter scrubs and even chemicals designed to “promote cell rejuvenation” are often harmful and can damage new cell growth, resulting in the exact opposite of a fresh, vibrant complexion. A sauna is an all-natural way to promote cell growth, stimulating production through intense heat and sweating. As sweating occurs, old layers of skin are removed and new cells begin to form beneath.

Provide Nutrients and Replenish Skin - To stay healthy and strong, the skin needs nutrients just like any other organ in the body, yet it’s often robbed of essential vitamins and minerals as a result of hard living. Using a sauna can restore the skin’s elasticity and suppleness by ensuring it receives the right amount of nutrients easily. As you sweat, fluid rushes to the skin, bringing along with it a nutrient rich liquid which fills the space around each cell. Essential to maintaining the collagen structure of the skin, these nutrients build up the cells, decreasing breakdown that often results in sagging or wrinkled skin.

Beautiful skin is as easy as relaxing in a sauna. Not just for easing aches and pains, sitting in the heat and warmth of a sauna is a proven method for getting the radiant skin you’ve always wanted. Open the pores and cleanse without harsh chemicals, promote new cell growth and bring the essential nutrients your skin needs to stay healthy and strong.

We get asked all the time by our customers, potential hot tub buyers, friends and even our moms:

“Are you going to be at the big Spa Expo this weekend?”

And we understand why they ask– the hot tub expo does a ton of advertising saying “Multiple Brands competing for your business.” And it would make sense that we would be at an event where there are multiple hot tub brands, right!?

Multiple Brands not present at the Hot Tub and Swim Spa Expo

But we’re not at these Spa Expos because there is actually only one brand represented.Household name-brands like Hot Spring, Caldera, Sundance, Jacuzzi, D-1, Maax Spas and Marquis aren't going to be there. The hot tub expo gets away with advertising multiple brands because the manufacturer carries a few different lines of hot tubs & spas. But they all come from the same place– and one hot tub retailer represents them all.
Besides the misrepresentation of multiple brands, here are a few things we've learned about these Hot Tub and Swim Spa Expos from customers & friends who have visited:

Because this is a one weekend only event, the convention center will be filled with hot tubs and swim spas brought in to be sold immediately.You’ll be offered a chance to sit in some of the hot tubs that are on display, but they aren't going to be filled with water (and who wants to strip down into a bathing suit in an expo center full of people anyway!?) Just like when purchasing a car, it is important to “wet-test” a hot tub before you buy. You never know how the jets are going to feel until you test it out. And if you’re on the taller or shorter end, you want to make sure the water depth is just right.

While you might be able to order the custom colors you want, more than likely the sales team will be pushing the models they have on display so that they clear our their inventory immediately.

High-Pressure Sales Reps

The sales reps at the Spa Expos are brought in specifically for the event. They are experienced show sales people, and are trained to get the sale on the spot (if they don’t close the deal that weekend, they don’t get commission) They are high-pressure and want you to make a decision immediately.
We think that it’s best to take your time when considering adding a hot tub to your home. It’s an investment that will make a great addition to your backyard or interior room & you want to be sure you’re picking the right brand. We even suggests scheduling a backyard consultation before you take delivery.

Be Informed

If you do end up going to a Spa Expo in your local area here are some good questions to ask the hot tub company:
1. Do you Operate a Showroom in my local area? And how long have you been in business?
2. Who do I call for a service or repair issue?
3. What is your cancellation policy?
And more.. Check out some great questions in our Hot Tub Buyer’s Guide before you go to the Hot Tub Expo!
Happy Hot tub Shopping! And please stop by one of our 5 Iowa and Minnesota Showrooms if you’re in our local area!
