Frequently Asked Questions

What are Sunbelt's core differentiators in the hot tub market?

Sunbelt stands out due to several key factors: their “Sunbelt Shell Strong™ & Leak-Free Technology™” which ensures durability, over 45 years of market presence with a strong multi-generational customer base, IAPMO certification for energy efficiency meeting strict California and Canada standards, a made-to-order focus with 6-8 week lead times (though some models are seasonally in stock), rigorous quality control including water testing on every single unit, and a proprietary insulation system proven effective in cold climates like Canada.

Sunbelt offers three main product categories:

  • On-Ground Hot Tubs: These include the premium Storm Series (performance-focused with advanced sanitation), the mid-to-high range Leisure Series (ergonomic seating, affordable performance), the sleek LoneStar Series (design-conscious buyers), and the budget-friendly Tubly Series (superior insulation, acrylic finish, cold plunge options).
  • In-Ground Hot Tubs: Sunbelt is one of the few manufacturers of acrylic in-ground spas. They offer various models (spillovers, round, octagon, kidney, square) with standard features like pre-plumbed equipment and LED lights, making them a profitable upgrade option for pool builders seeking lower installation times than traditional gunite spas.
  • Swim Spas: These are high-performing alternatives to traditional pools, ideal for space-conscious, budget-sensitive, or fitness-minded customers. They offer the ability to swim, relax, and exercise in one unit, with a smaller footprint and year-round usability.

Sunbelt employs several stringent measures to ensure quality and durability. Their “Sunbelt Shell Strong™ & Leak-Free Technology™” is a foundational element, designed for long-lasting performance. They also perform rigorous quality control, which notably includes water testing every single unit before shipping, rather than just spot checks. Their proprietary insulation system is specifically engineered to perform well even in cold climates, contributing to the longevity and energy efficiency of their products.

The Tubly Series is Sunbelt’s budget-friendly line designed to compete with roto-molded and plug-and-play spas, but with significant advantages. Unlike plastic roto-molded options, Tubly spas feature an acrylic finish, offering a cleaner design aesthetic. They also boast superior insulation and energy efficiency. Additionally, the Tubly series uniquely includes cold plunge-ready options, making it a versatile choice for value-focused and entry-level spa owners.

Sunbelt’s in-ground hot tubs are an excellent option for pool builders because they provide a profitable upgrade that doesn’t require a full gunite build, leading to lower installation times compared to traditional gunite spas. For clients, these spas offer a premium backyard spa experience with the durability of American-made acrylic, various design options (spillovers, different shapes), and standard features like pre-plumbed equipment and LED lights.

The Dealer Display Program is designed to reduce the upfront investment for dealers while maximizing their showroom appeal. It provides shell-only hot tub displays (Leisure or Storm series, 7′ and 8′ options) along with essential marketing materials such as acrylic, cabinet, and cover samples, jet-on-acrylic samples, brochures, and posters. Dealers also receive a +$400 rebate on a future purchase for each display tub, making it a cost-effective way to showcase Sunbelt products.Click here for full details.

Dealers should emphasize the following key selling points:

  • “Sunbelt Shell Strong™ — leak-free tech built to last 25+ years,” highlighting durability.
  • “45+ years, American made, and multi-generational loyalty,” stressing experience and trust.
  • “Fully IAPMO certified for energy use — ready for California & Canada,” promoting energy efficiency and compliance.
  • “We test every spa with water before shipping. No spot checks,” assuring rigorous quality control.
  • “This isn’t a roto mold. It looks good, performs better, and is still affordable,” distinguishing the product from lower-end alternatives.

The normal lead time for Sunbelt hot tubs is 6-8 weeks, and dealers are advised to communicate this clearly and early to customers. For shipping, it is recommended to encourage ordering 3 or more spas per load to help reduce freight costs. Regarding parts and service, dealers receive discounted parts and covers, and it’s important to note that warranty terms vary by model, though all warranties include labor; confirmation should be made on a case-by-case basis.
