U
S consumers who are in the market for a portable spa are
typically in or near the Baby Boomer generation, and are
seeking one or more of a list of benets that soaking in hot
jetted water can provide.
According to the Hot Tub Council, a division of Association of Pool
& Spa Professionals (APSP), the top reasons people decide to buy
a spa include pain relief from arthritis and other diseases; sports
and other activity; to relax and reduce stress and tension; and to
improve sleep patterns. Further reasons include entertainment and
enhancement of personal time with family and friends.
Lauren Stack, director of marketing and promotion for the Hot
Tub Council, says following 9/11, the entertainment at home as-
pect became as strong a purchasing inuence as other reasons.
Holiday and vacation travel slowed after 9/11, says Stack. Peo-
ple began putting the discretionary dollars they previously spent on
vacationing into enhancing their backyards. The goal is to create a
sanctuary that makes people feel like they are hundreds of miles
away, when they are only steps from their back doors.
Stack says that during this same period, health and tness
professionals publicly substantiated their belief in warm water
as benecial therapy for physical and stress-related ailments.
Baby Boomers, Stack added, represent the largest category of spa
purchasers because they are intent on living active lifestyles. This
category bought the majority of the 450,000 portable spas produced
in the United States in 2004.
Larry Giles, chairman of the Washington, DC-based Hot Tub
Council (HTC) says: A hot tub can denitely enhance a healthy,
happy lifestyle. The US National Institute of Health cites numerous

Despite the pleasures and benets, the portable spa industry
is complex, variable and competitive. The myriad of new features
now available includes multi-functioning jets, new shell materi-
