Not only did they give us a fair price on a Vita Spas Envie but they also financed it for us at 0% interest. We've now had this tub now for many years and have made so many memories with our friends in the backyard and gained relief for our sore muscles since our purchase in 2022! Thank you! Highly recommend Custom Spas Direct in Upland! Check them out!

During my research process, I read numerous online postings advising that a nearby, trustworthy…read moredealer is the most important aspect when buying a hot tub. Although I was about to purchase a hot tub from a large, well known dealer in Corona, I decided to look at Custom Spas Direct, which has good online reviews and happens to be very close to our house. I'm glad I did. I was not familiar with the Vita spa brand that Custom Spas Direct sells. There's very little information available online. After doing some digging, I determined that Vita is a decent, mid-range spa with competitive pricing. Nothing fancy, but it's built with good components from companies like Balboa Water Group. Dealing with Custom Spas Direct has been fantastic. It's a small company and we interacted directly with Jim Galpin, the owner. Jim is a straightforward guy and he was very helpful in choosing a spa. Since I was unfamiliar with Vita, I had a lot of questions and he patiently answered all of them. He quickly responded whenever I sent him a text with a question or request. After the purchase, he was super flexible with regard to delivery, setup timing, coordinating with the electrician's schedule, etc. The delivery and setup was quick and well done. The installer did a good job answering all of my questions. We've had the spa six months and have had a couple of minor issues. One was probably due to user error on my part and the other was not. In both cases, Jim responded to my texts immediately and quickly resolved my issue, even during a holiday week. I'm so glad I purchased from a local dealer that provides such fantastic service after the sale. I'm sure a larger dealer would not have given us the same treatment. Thanks Jim! Five stars!

Hello Benjamin-…read more This is Mark and Maria Scott. We would like to sincerely thank you for your exceptional support, attentiveness, and analytical insight throughout our spa purchase experience in August 2025 in Pomona. From the very beginning, your ability to truly listen to our concerns, thoughtfully assess the situation, and provide clear, practical guidance made a meaningful difference in the outcome. Your time, patience, and professionalism are invaluable to us. Even as we continue to work through a few remaining hiccups related to the original Pomona sale, your steady presence and commitment to finding solutions have made the process reassuring and manageable. As we shared with you, while the initial salesperson was nice, there was a clear gap... in understanding... the operational.... and functional... aspects.... of the hot tub spa we purchased. Your knowledge and clarity helped bridge that gap and restored our confidence in the overall experience. We are especially grateful for the guidance that connected us--through Alex in Minnesota--to the Spa Outlet in Brea, California. That recommendation proved to be a turning point, leading to positive results and a much stronger level of support. Your care, follow-through, and attention to detail were evident at every step, and we truly appreciate the advocacy you provided on our behalf. Mark and I genuinely value the partnership we are building with our spa support team and with you, Benjamin. Your dedication to customer satisfaction and long-term service does not go unnoticed. We will confidently and gladly recommend this Hot Tub & Swim Spa Outlet location to friends and family moving forward. Warm regards, Mark and Maria Scot

When they got there they moved the old hot tub onto the grass and placed the new hot tub but said it would be $1100 to remove it because it was too heavy. It is the same size tub as the one being delivered and the seller knew exactly which hot tub we had. They did not honor the contract agreement and I still have my old hot tub killing my grass. They refused to remove it for the agreed amount.

Their attention to detail was awesome and the workers were easy to work with. I highly recommend RCL, very fair and easy to work with and the results are amazing. Thanks Chris for all your hard work in getting our dream pool completed.

The entire construction process went so smoothly--it honestly couldn't have gone better. The only hiccup came from delays with the city's building department where they needed extra steel reinforcement, but Sunsplash handled everything with patience and kept us updated the whole time. Their quote came in a bit higher than some others we received, but looking back, I'm so glad we chose them. The peace of mind, the quality of the work, and the total lack of issues made it well worth it. You really get what you pay for. We love our new pool, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sunsplash to anyone looking to build or remodel. They truly care about the work they do and it shows.

When I called back to propose a date that worked for me (two weeks out), he became argumentative and questioned why I didn't want the earlier dates.

I really wanted to support a local pool supply business, but the son's attitude throughout the interaction was unfriendly and dismissive. It's unfortunate to see a family-run business, built over years by hardworking parents, handed off to someone who doesn't seem to share their professionalism or customer focus.

The workers were just very sloppy and did not seem to take pride in any of the work being done. And lastly, the fireplace key to turn on/off the fireplace fell off shortly after the project ended. i contacted christian about this in april and though he kept saying he would send someone out to fix it, it is now june and he does not return phone calls or texts. Though I am happy for the most part with the finished product, it should not have been this much of a headache with these many mistakes for a project that cost over $175,000.
