Oregon Hot Tub is pleased to announce that Watkins—the company that manufacturers our line of Hot Spring Spas—was awarded the highest honor bestowed by its parent company, Masco.

The Innovation of the Year award is given annually by Masco to only one of its 39 companies. This honor is recognition of the business unit that develops the most compelling innovation offering a distinct competitive advantage over other products.

The ACE© Salt Water System was introduced in 2010, and has rapidly become the new benchmark of advanced water care that changes the way hot tub owners use and enjoy their tubs. The ACE System was rated alongside innovations from Masco’s other business units, including Delta© Faucets, KraftMaid© Cabinets, and Behr© Paints.

Mike Dunn, Executive Vice President at Watkins, remarked that “The recognition is especially rewarding for our team who worked tirelessly to get such a game-changing advancement to market.”

And what a game changer it has been! We know how thrilled our customers are with the Hot Spring & Limelight Hot Tubs purchased from us with the ACE Salt System. The ease of use, the softness of the water, the eco-friendliness of the system, the ability to sit in water that is virtually chemical free…these are just a few of the advantages to this truly exciting water care system. Traditional stinky water that dries your skin and is difficult to maintain—no more! We’re very fortunate to have something so unique to offer our customers that raises the bar, and makes what other companies offer obsolete.

Visit one of our showrooms today and see how terrific the ACE Salt System is. We’ve got a number of tubs running and can easily demonstrate the system. You’ll see what the future of hot tub ownership looks like: a Hot Spring Spa from Oregon Hot Tub.

Congratulations Watkins!
