Premier United Kingdom Hot Tub and Exercise Pool Resource Centre

Simply stated… We are an independent organization dedicated to consumers evaluating the merits of hot tub and exercise pool ownership in the UK.  To support this cause, we have developed a collection of magazines, web sites and bulletin boards focused exclusively on educating consumers about the fascinating swimming pool and hot tub industry.

An Independent Magazine
A manufacturer or retailer is NOT required to pay Spasearch any fee to be listed in our magazines or on our websites. In fact, to maintain complete impartiality, our publisher, editors and writers do not invest or maintain any personal financial stake in any firm whose product or service is reviewed in Spasearch UK. Instead, Spasearch employs a 3rd party accounting firm to audit survey results provided by homeowners who purchase hot tubs from manufacturers and retailers throughout the United Kingdom.

The Decision To Buy
The decision to purchase a hot tub is usually an easy one; selecting the manufacturer or specialist is usually a much more perplexing and complicated decision. After all, your hot tub must be built with quality materials and superior craftsmanship to last for years. Today, more than 175 companies manufacture hot tubs and exercise pools in the United Kingdom, United States and Canada. Imagine sifting through all the information sources necessary to make a decision to find the perfect hot tub to compliment your lifestyle. It is a daunting task. Seemingly, it is nearly impossible to do a thorough evaluation of a single hot tub specialists much less when evaluating multiple companies who incorporate unique terminology and trademarked names to compare similar features.  Spasearch Magazine was created to provide assist to homeowners and conduct much of the initial field research necessary to identify the major brands doing business in the UK.

Our History
Spasearch UK is part of Bigfish Publications.  Our parent company is among the largest leisure product referral services in the world.

Planning Guide Accuracy
Spasearch has consolidated our Buyers' Guide to summarize the "major" players in the industry. Due to obvious logistics, we do not conduct individual independent product evaluations of each exercise pool or hot tub featured in our magazine; instead we rely information provided by our editors, manufacturers, consumers, and other 3rd parties to evaluate products when printing our magazines. In addition, we have eliminated numerous manufacturers because we were unable to obtain and confirm information about their products prior to printing this guide.

Because of the inherent delay and risk of inadvertently omitting or misprinting information in our publications, we recommend each homeowner conduct a through evaluation of their manufacturer or pool builder before purchasing. You may also find more current information and a complete listing of all manufacturers at our Online Resources page.

Customer Responsibilities
In using any and all services provided by members of the Poolsearch Network, the consumer acknowledges that Spasearch is not acting as a exercise pool or hot tub manufacturer, hot tub specialist, retailer, general contractor, agent or lawyer. It is the consumer’s responsibility to select a manufacturer and contractor and to negotiate the terms for any work performed. Consumers should consult with appropriate expert advisors to assist in home improvements and hot tub/pool construction, including a lawyer regarding contracts, permits and other necessary job documentation, and an insurance professional regarding contractor’s and owner’s insurance coverage requirements. Due to the inherent time delay in the data-gathering process, pending actions or other issues affecting a manufacturer or contractor’s record may have occurred that were not captured by third-party data sources prior to publishing materials in our planning guides and websites.
