Dale Paretovich manufactured the first portable and fully-insulated spas from his Hillcrest garage in 1980 and soon brought the Hot Spring brand to New Zealand shores. Over the four subsequent decades Dale has seen many spa pools and brands come and go, while Hot Spring has gone from strength to strength. Holding the title as the oldest spa retailer in NZ, as well as the largest importer of Hot Spring spas, Endless Pools swim spas and spa componentry in the southern hemisphere, Hot Spring spa pools are now a backyard staple for many Kiwis.
