How the Hot Tub Industry Started

0 comments

Started in 1976. California Cooperage came out with the redwood vat. The first time hot tubs got exposure was an advertisement in Playboy by California Cooperage for $790.00. Then hottubs began selling like wildfire! Within the first 5 years, the redwood vats, became molded forms called spas.



When sales first took off, a company called Spa Broaker was selling exclusive distribution rights, but cost a lot money, and the original Spa Broaker manufacturing has since gone out of business. Now other companies such as Jacuzzi, and Hot Springs Spas has become involved and made the industry what it is today.
