This is my second HotSpring Spa. I had one of the classic models for 32 years with one service call the entire time. It finally started leaking, so we bought the Vanguard model. The Vanguard is high-quality and high-functioning, and we could not be happier with it. 5 stars all around!

Here's what our customers have to say
“Pioneer's service is simply amazing! From the moment we met Chris to discuss our Inground pool purchase, we knew we had found the right company.”
We use our hot tub several evenings a week and it has truly changed our lives. I can\'t explain how wonderful the water feels at the end of a long day. My husband and I really enjoy relaxing in our Tarino spa and watching the stars while talking about our days.
Tarino Hot Tub
I am so happy with my Marino hot tub. Purchasing it was one of the best decisions that we have ever made. It is very easy to take care of and is used by the whole family for the most relaxing end to our days. Combined, our pool and spa experience with Pioneer Family Pools has been amazing. The staff is always willing to help us with care and which chemicals to use.
Hot Tub
I am not sure where to begin. My knees and hips no longer ache all day. I sleep like a well fed baby every night and relaxed is my new normal. The Makena Spa is beautiful and more than efficient! If you like easy pressure or hard pressure, this is the spa to buy. Love it, love it, love it!
Hot Tub
This was the first spa we had ever purchased. So far, after almost a year, we still love it! It has been easy to maintain the water and keep the spa clean. It took a little while getting the chemicals correct, but now it is simple. The jets are all in the right places and the adjustments allow for a strong massage or a light one. Great addition to our home and life!
