They are back here in Denver and doing their scam spa show.  The TV ads make it sound like many manufacturers, though it is only Master Spas and whatever else they name their lines.  I called the number and was told that all of the major manufacturers would be there.  I said I was interested in a Hot Spring Spa and they told me that I could buy one at the show at the National Western Complex but it would be much less expensive than from a local dealer.  I bet Hot Spring would love to know about this. Call the number and try it yourself.  Ask about a specific brand.

The website shows pools, spas, bbq islands, saunas, etc.  All that is there are a bunch of overpriced spas.  They tell you that you can have this $15k spa for only $7k because it is a manufacturer's clearance event.  They told me it was a chemical free spa.  They told me that they have a local dealership for service.  None of these things are true.

Why does Master Spas let their name be used by these scam artists?  It is terrible for our industry.  After every show, we get calls from people that purchased there and have no idea how to operate their spa.  We get people with pseudomonas infections because they don't add any chemicals to their spa.  It makes me sick. 

Done ranting.  The more people talk about the scam, the better chance someone will read this and think twice about supporting these scammers.  It's now called the "Pool and Spa show" in their TV ads.  They just keep changing the names.

They were in Mpls/St. Paul at the end of March '14...same scam/different city...I remember specifically I was working a local home-show and I had a few customers stop by our booth who had gone down to where they setup to shop..same deal as OP mentioned above: one particular lady had called them ahead of time looking for a Infrared sauna and maybe spa combo and they told her we had 10 different manufacturers/all kinds of saunas/etc. and she even said the signage on the way to the place said "hot tubs" "saunas" "massage chairs" and she walked into the place to find 10 different spas who in her words "all looked the same, just different colors" Not 1 single sauna or any other product they had advertised was even there to view. A complete joke, I don't know how these clowns sleep at night

The last time they came to Columbus the long time local Master Dealer dropped them and changed brands they carried. I think they went to Hawkeye, and the local dealer finally went under.  Just before the show a new Master dealer was set up near my employer and I never got to go over and look.   Maybe its time for me to look and see if I even have a local dealer.

Oh yea, now I remember, you can't find a dealer on their website, you have to fill out a form. I know my Sundance /Jacuzzi dealer was carrying Master's swim spa for awhile.

They come to my area 3 or 4 times a year plus they do the big fair near me.  They just lie, lie and lie some more.  Then they take peoples money and they never see them again.  I have had people get sick from their tubs and still argue with me that they don't need any chemicals.
