Just gonna put this here,too lazy at the moment to save it to word.

This is what I posted on the spa saviors board,doubt it sees the light of day there.


You best take em to court Jim. As you state
"As far as the ETL on Watkins products; they lost the UL listing, so they cannot use the ETL logo that states that it conforms to UL 1563 because it does not."  

If what you state is fact,then either ETL is falsely advertising,or Hot-springs is.  Or is it you Jim?  You being a man that proportidly wants to save the spa industy,why in gods creation haven't you filed suit?  You off all people,mind you.

If I had to wager,I see litigation in the near future,weather you pursue it or not.

Lastly,how can Phoenix,with a conscieous(as you like to embellish)alter a spa,and then sell it to 1 of their customers?  As they KNOW it voids ETL/UL certification,isn't that in itself a direct safety violation? (after all,isn't that what you profess these testing labs are all about)

P.S. ... gotta wonder what side of the fence Phoenix will be on LOL

Dare ya to post this Mr Savior of spas

And yes Chas,he did state that.

Here's a quote from his site,dated friday,june 17th

"If you look on the ETL site next week, according to Phoenix, all of our models will be listed by name, and not just by the model number as they are now ."

"The changes to the spas take place at the factory, until they can no longer give me what I want. Then we will apply for our own ETL listing, because that is the only ethical thing to do."

Gotta laff... so it's ethical to sell something that could potentially harm/kill someone.  Gotta love him,he's good for laffs!


Oh,am I looking at the wrong ETL site? Is there more than 1 ETL site?  Is this more of the same BS spewwing from hiz loins?

It looks like he is going to buy a Cal Spa for his spa challenge.  I wonder why he just didn’t go after Hotspring.

Well, If he would like to purchase a HotSpring spa for his challenge, I would be honored to be the one to sell it to him, and I will deliver it for the price of gasoline.

One more item: a new post just appears over there that says, "I chose Cal Spas because they are an obviously bad spa for Colorado ( the easiest mark ). I suspect that Cal Spas will sue us and that would give us the publicity and money we need to grow the testing facility."

Now, in the course of doing business for close to twenty years, I have never been sued. So I guess I just don't understand the system. Could somebody explain to me how it would put money into Jim's hand if Cal Spa sues him?

The part about the publicity I understand -

Would you then do a test-soak in a Super Custom Fallsburg?

I'm guessing that in his dementia, this "publicity" he mentions will result in a deluge of sales for his company.

You gotta admire the ego of this guy (ok maybe you don't).  He puts forth this silly spa challenge to companies who don't even know he exists, let alone worry about competition from, asks for them to ship him a free spa, along with a check for what, $5000?  

I think I'll do a spa challenge too.  Just send me your finest spa, and heck, I'll only ask for $4000 each.  
 Of course for saftey reasons, I'd only be willing to test a spa with an ETL or UL listing.
