Our story
An engineer’s eye.
A repairman’s experience.
I’m Nick, founder of Ocean Spas. My approach to hot tubs comes from building them—and repairing them.
01 — How it started
From the factory
to your backyard.
I spent seven years as an engineer in a hot tub factory. During my final years there, I began repairing spas on the side.
As that work grew, I saw that a full-time repair business offered a stronger financial future than my engineering job. In 2020, I founded Ocean Spas.
02 — What repairs taught me
The best lessons
came from repairs.
Years of service work showed me how unnecessary complexity can make ownership harder. Decorative fountains and diverters add plumbing connections. Extra lighting adds wiring and more components to troubleshoot.
When something fails, access and replacement parts matter just as much as the original design.
03 — The Ocean Spas approach
More thought.
Less complication.
In 2024, we designed our first spa, SIMPLE™ 1.0, and had an initial batch of 10 spas manufactured. The response was great.
Building on that response, we kept simplifying the design and improving the quality with SIMPLE™ 2.0 and SIMPLE™ 3.0.
Focus on the massage
Powerful pumps, purposeful jets and straightforward plumbing—with the massage experience at the center.
Make parts easier to source
Industry-standard components from established suppliers, rather than relying on hard-to-find proprietary replacements.
Build with future service in mind
Accessible plumbing and replaceable components, designed for a long life with proper care.
That thinking became
SIMPLE™ 3.0.
A hot tub shaped by years of engineering and hands-on repair experience.
