Tanod Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 No I am not confused at all. The website tells the existing dealers to stay tuned in for details. Obviously the buyer would like to keep the existing dealers. I wonder who would be interested though ... I don't think my dealer is from the sounds of it. I just hope it’s not Cal LOL. They already have about 90 models available and adding more would be ridiculous but I guess someone just figured they had nice molds and maybe they can offer it as a new line and maybe keep the dealer network that was in place (or some of it at least). Most of the Pacific dealers I think have already found new lines....Im sure every company out there has been knocking on there doors. Also good point about the 30 years....Only the name...not the company...a little misleading to the general public. No my dealer and the website said they were in business for 30 years. I wouldn't have bought otherwise, that's definitely very misleading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrod Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Your dealer probably didnt know either....seems to be alot of new dealers out there adding tubs to their existing business and not doing enough research..I can assure you the Pacific company that just bit the dust has not been around manufacturing spas for 30 years. The name and a company called Pacific Poolwater Products yes. The noe defunct Pacific couldnt hold a candle to the original company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathfinder Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 The Pacific tubs have always been made by Aber. Aber was a 30 yr company with different ownerships. The Pacific name was always in the background until 2006. 2007 they added all new molds & brought the Pacific name to the forefront dropping the "Titanium" also leaving the made by Aber far in the background. The product was second to none but the marketing & exposure for product was horrible. Unless you were in the industry or knew someone who owned one you never heard of Pacific or Aber & the tubs were one of the most expensive on the market for a dealer to buy. You can have the best product in the world but if you cant move it effectively........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Andrew, Just curious, but now that Pacific Spas are done, what line of spas did you bring on to sell in place of them? I assume you were selling more brands than just Pacific before, but just curious if you decided to sell something else now that their done.

Natetech Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I have heard that Beachcomber bought the molds from the auction and were going to release an "economy" line, even though the molds are way nicer than the ones they currently use.

I wouldn't have bought otherwise, that's definitely very misleading. My dealer dealt with Aber/Pacific for 6 years though so he wasn't new to the business. In theory I'm still happy with my hot tub but obviously I don't like having paid for a warranty which isn't around anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrod Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 the original owner of Pacific is Vic Gorcak....retired....still see him from time to time...if im not mistaken he owns the property and building that Coast Spas occupies...his operation was there at one time.

jbholly Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I was wondering if anyone could offer me any advice, suggestions, help.....anything! I have a Crystal Waters Spa, 4 years old and it seems the heater is probably broken. I called Ridgewood in BC and they tell me I have no warranty and they MIGHT have a part. I live in New Brunswick and can't reach the person who sold it to me either. Any help is appreciated! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Spa Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Any local spa repair guy should be able to easily aquire parts and fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
