Title: Three Rivers Spas
Post by: fatman on March 14, 2006, 11:43:51 am

I was told Three River Spas is a new manufacturer based in Fort Wayne, IN. Right now they sell two models. Anybody know anything about them...good, bad or otherwise???

somewhere back within the last month someone asked about new lines of tubs.....my response was and still is the same....on big ticket items, I, personally, try to go with something that's been tried and proven...wether it's cars, video game systems, etc. This allows the manufacturer to get feedback on the problems that inherently occur in NEW things, and work past them by the time I plunk down my hard earned money....Someone else can pay to be a guinea pig.
This is my opinion, and I'm entitled to it.....

Hmmmm.

Here's the homepage (not much help)

http://www.trspas.com/index.html




The BBB has nothing on them.



From thier web site the company is run by:


Paul Wybo                                                        pwybo@trspas.com
VP of Operations and Sales        

Googleing Paul,  His name comes up  with some patent applications for pool and spa filters .    Interesting.                                                      


Newton Leitelt                                                  nleitelt@trspas.com
Sales Manager    

Leitlet used to be the  Regional Sales manager for Marquis for the great lakes region.   Okay....                                                                                      


Thomas Line                                                      tline@trspas.com      
Accounting Manager              


I couldn't find anything on Thomas Line.



They don't sound like  Bubba and BillyBob and Jim Puddin-Head making hot tubs out on thier farm. FWIW.
           

Have you gone and checked them out?

My understanding is that one of the guys from Master Spas left to start this new company.  I'm not sure exactly who that is.  My first instinct would be to let them go through their growing pains first, and practice on someone else.

Perhaps PM Wisoki if he misses this thread, he seems to know all that goes on in the Hoosier State.

I checked the website just to get a feel for what they are all about.  Too soon to tell how good they will be both in terms of construction quality and warranty work.
