Operating out of a massive 500,000+ square foot state-of-the-art facility, Master Spas is recognized as the largest swim spa manufacturer in the world and one of the largest portable hot tub builders in North America.

Company History

Founded in 1996, Master Spas acquired the spa manufacturing assets of Fort Wayne Pools. Over the past three decades, the company remained privately owned and independent, avoiding the private-equity buyouts common across the pool and spa industry. This continuity has allowed them to focus heavily on engineering, energy efficiency, and full-foam insulation standards.

  • Non-Proprietary Industry Standard Parts: They build using top-tier Balboa electronics and Waterway pumps. If a circuit board or pump ever fails outside warranty, any hot tub technician can buy replacement parts locally without paying markup for custom proprietary brand chips.
  • EcoPur Charge Water Management: Uses mineral filtration combined with ozone to reduce chemical usage naturally without requiring costly recurring salt cartridges.
  • Ergonomic Hydrotherapy: StressRelief Neck and Shoulder Seats feature down-facing jets engineered specifically for upper neck tension.

Service Technician Verdict

Master Spas ranks near the top of the industry for long-term ownership value. Because they use standard Balboa controllers and pumps, repair costs down the road are significantly lower than brands that lock you into proprietary parts systems.

Buyer Notes

Expo prices are often very competitive, but always confirm who the local retailer is that will perform local warranty service before buying at a weekend show.
  • Full Foam Repair Access: Full-foam insulated tubs are extremely energy efficient, and nearly all spa buyers should abolutely prefer full-foam insulation, however if a pipe ever leaks inside the foam, it may take a service tech extra time to pull out the foam to patch the line.
