About Beachcomber

In most industries there is one person who is recognized for the outstanding contributions he or she has made, and is acknowledged as an authority on it. These people care passionately about what they do and work tirelessly to advance the products or services the industry provides. In the hot tub industry, this driving force is Keith Scott, founder of Beachcomber Hot Tubs. He knows hot water and hot tubs like no one else.

Common Questions: Hot Tub Depth and Comfort

Today, we're starting a series of common questions that I get asked on a regular basis. These are the questions that I hear from my friends and customers related to our hot tubs, and how to use them.


Q: Is there a big difference between a 33”/84 cm and/or a 29”/74 cm deep hot tub compared to a 36”/91 cm one?

Keith: Yes. The deeper hot tub gives you more comfort, especially for your feet and abdomen. The 3 to 7 inches in knee room lets you stretch out better and be much more comfortable. Shorter depths of hot tubs are usually less comfortable and sell at lower retail costs.

Look for more questions coming soon, and also look for the new Beachcomber Newsmagazine "the Straight Goods" coming soon.

Bringing Water To Life

Today as I sit and relax in my Beachcomber, as I do everyday, every morning, as I never miss a day, I think about the power of water. Water sustains humankind; without it, life as we know it would cease to exist. Water brings us life, and we have learned to use it in many beneficial ways.

Add water to a Beachcomber hot tub and it transforms into an ultimate relaxation oasis.  Water has tremendous restorative powers and we are rewarded body and soul when we bathe, swim, or simply relax in water.

Submerse yourself in a Beachcomber, its one of the best things you can do for yourself, and your loved ones.

Eagles in the City

I thought it important to share with you the kick off event of Eagles in the City in Vancouver. There are going to be hundreds of Eagles placed around the city of Vancouver to beautify the city and raise money to support kids with disabilities. They have found that this is a very successful way to raise money for children who need help. Lyndon and Blake represented Beachcomber Hot Tubs in ‘Vancouver’s new convention center’ which you can see through a couple of shots showing Vancouver.
The Eagle painted with our artist Ray from North 
Vancouver’s Squamish first nation’s band standing proud with Blake. The final photo is of Blake and Lyndon before entering the special event where all guests were introduced to the first 50 pieces of art to be put on display in their places all around Vancouver.
Judy and I want to thank all of you for your support which gives us the ability to support different activities!

Beachcomber's Guarantee Builds Trust

It makes me mad when my wife and I buy something and encounter a problem with the product and the manufacturer says, “Oh, that’s not covered in the limited warranty. Read the fine print.”

It seems to me that a limited warranty protects only the manufacturer, not the customer. Buying a hot tub is a major purchase, but few people understand what could potentially go wrong, so we incorporated a guarantee that protects the purchaser. We are proud of the position Beachcomber has taken in looking after our customers following their purchase. It’s still a young industry and people are not as familiar with buying a hot tub as they are with other household appliances. Check closely that you don’t buy a hot tub or spa with a limited spa industry warranty that incorporates outright exclusions, limitations and disclaimers. Rest assured that Beachcomber’s Guarantee protects you 100% on all our 700, 500 and 300 series hot tubs.

Question: What is all the talk about Title 20 in the hot tub industry over the last year initiated by California State Government?

Answer: The California government’s new stringent energy standards required all hot tub manufacturers to test each of their hot tubs to ensure they met approved home energy usage. We recently sent three of our hot tubs to be tested for the new standard “Title 20” that is being enforced by government this year. Cal Poly, an independent testing laboratory facility, used the most stringent level of testing to perform the tests to verify energy usage. We were apprehensive about sending all 3 of our Beachcomber Hot Tubs, a large, medium and small hot tub, to verify the truths about our energy performance as it was a first. We thought that every spa company would also want to know how what their true hot tub energy usages were at this time. But, only a total of 23 hot tubs were sent to Cal Poly by a handful of manufacturers, instead of the over 200 units we expected had every spa company participated in the independent laboratory tests. Out of the twenty-three tested, only nine hot tubs passed this testing. We are proud to say that all three of our hot tubs passed, that is “three” out of the nine that passed were Beachcomber hot tubs. We have never compromised our commitment to lower energy costs or on our quality.
One of Beachcomber’s key industry positions has always been “low cost energy usage” so we are now going to take that a step further ahead of the spa industry. With this new testing knowledge, Beachcomber has launched the new Beachcomber Hybrid Edition Hot Tub through our retail stores. Our focus on energy and testing brings other ideas within our R & D research team to make more improvements to our Beachcomber Hot Tubs, so that our hot tub customers can save even more energy and further reduce their operational and maintenance costs.
I am very proud of our Beachcomber team. They are committed to our company’s position of providing the most comfortable, energy efficient hot tub, with the best guarantee in the world. We took this position in the spring of 1984, and as we move forward in the future, we will continue this focus and not waiver from our company position.

What do you mean by your Guarantee versus the hot tub industry's Limited Warranty?

It makes me mad when my wife and myself buy something and have a problem with it and the manufacturers say, "Oh, that’s not covered in the limited warranty. Read the fine print."
It seems to me that a limited warranty protects the manufacturer, not the customer. Buying a hot tub is a major purchase, but few people understand what can go wrong. I put in a Guarantee to protect the purchaser.

I’m proud of the position Beachcomber has taken in looking after their customers after they purchase a hot tub. It’s still a young industry and people are not as familiar with buying a hot tub as they are with other household appliances. I recommend you check closely that you don’t buy a hot tub or spa with the limited spa industry warranty that has incorporated outright exclusions, limitations and disclaimers in their product. Beachcomber’s Guarantee is simple on all our 700, 500 and 300 series hot tubs. We protect you 100% with the Beachcomber Guarantee.
