Bruce an Joy Rothschild have operated their family-owned business since 1993. Customer service before, during, and long after a spa purchase has been a cornerstone of their business. "Our customers come in to visit us for months, or even years, after a spa purchase to tell us how much they continue to use and enjoy their spas. Says Bruce. Joy adds, "A lot of our customers have given us wonderful feedback about, not only the great health benefits but also the improved quality of time with family."

The Rest Of The Story...

Bruce Rothschild started in the spa industry in 1984, working for his cousin's Jeff Claypool and Craig Inouye at Lifestyle Spas in Northridge, California. His duties included the delivery and setup of portable spas (hot Spring Spas, Jacuzzi Spas and Cal Spas) and the installation of in-ground spas and wooden hot tubs. Bruce soon graduated to inside sales, and within a few months was promoted to sales manager. He spent over seven years with Lifestyle Spas until he went to work for Softub Inc.

Bruce became the international sales trainer for Softub Inc. and after starting from scratch designed and implemented a 3 day training seminar for all new and existing Softub dealers worldwide. He successfully trained over 2000 dealers and their staff from around the world. Bruce started a traveling road show for the dealer network and he traveled over 39 states and 6 countries, meeting with owners and their sales staff and training them.. Bruce also helped with the design and location of their showrooms and show booths.

In 1993, Bruce and Dean Kleinrath (former service manger and part owner of Lifestyle Spas) opened up a Hot Spring Spas of Melbourne, Florida in October of that year. This 6,000 sq. ft. showroom and warehouse was on New Haven Ave. The first year of business saw them double the sales of the previous owners and earned Bruce and Dean the award "Best New Dealer" from Watkins Mfg, the maker of Hot Spring Portable Spas.

Joy Rothschild soon joined Bruce and Dean to expand their dealership to include a 1,500 sq. ft. showroom in the beautiful Indian River Mall in Vero Beach. Besides raising their two children, Joy also handles all the day-to-day operations at both showrooms, and manages the Indian River Mall store. Dean retired in 1999 and is enjoying a lifestyle that would make both the Crocodile Hunter and Jeff Corwin jealous!

Joy and Bruce found a fantastic new location in 2002 and moved in immediately to a 15,000+ sq. ft. Superstore with over 8,000 sq. ft. of showroom. They are finally able to bring to the Space Coast an incredible sized showroom to show off the complete line of portable spas offered by Watkins Mfg. Inc. They now have on display the entire line of Hot Spring Spas, Tiger River Spas, Caldera Spas, and Solana and Oasis Spas. Joy and Bruce are only one of 8 dealers in the world to carry this complete line of incredible spas.

Other products include: The Big Green Egg (the finest cooker smoker in the world), hammocks, spa and pool toys and a complete line of spa chemicals such as: BaquaSpa, Brilliance (a new line of Chlorine-Free Bromine) and Leisure Time chemicals. Our combined buying power allows us to offer the Space and Treasure Coast the best selections of the world's finest water and relaxation products, and offer them to you at an incredible price.

Peter Freund and Doug Sellars are the backbone of this company, they are two well trained technicians who install and service the complete line of spas. All work is done in-house with these two would be MacGyver's. Trained at the Hot Spring Spas factory (Watkins Mfg) in Vista, California, both Pete and Doug have an extensive background in computer and aerospace technologies. Pete came from a dealership in Virginia, where he ran both the service and deliveries for a successful Hot Spring Spas dealer. Pete also spent a lot of time in the showroom, showing the consumer how and why Hot Spring Spas are built so incredibly well. Luckily Pete came to Florida to follow and marry his high school sweetheart, Kelly. Together they have raised a beautiful daughter, who is the apple of their eyes.

Doug Sellars moved back to Melbourne, from Alabama to be closer to his family and friends who he grew up with. Doug's background in aerospace, and his "I can fix anything, just give me a few minutes" attitude, made Doug the perfect candidate to work alongside Peter.

We offer a complete service department, carrying parts for all the 2003 models along with parts for a 26 year old Classic model. With a combined 49 years of hot water industry service/repair knowledge, we offer the finest trained and most courteous staff, just waiting to help you.
