VISTA, Calif., Dec. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Hot Spring^® spas, the only brand to sell more than one million hot tubs, introduces the Connextion™ monitoring system, the industry's first mobile app that allows the spa owner and the local dealer to conveniently monitor the hot tub and respond if there is ever an issue. Whether the hot tub is located at the owner's main residence or time zones away at a vacation home, the Connextion monitoring system provides push-button control and real-time information on key Hot Spring spa functions.

New Connextion(TM) Remote Monitoring App and Dealer Service from Hot Spring Spas Deliver Peace of Mind to Hot Tub Owners

More than just an app or a spa "remote control," a key benefit is convenient dealer service available to Hot Spring customers through a yearly subscription. As part of the subscribed service, local dealers will receive alerts from the Connextion system when potential issues arise with the hot tub. Dealers can also monitor spa systems, alert owners of upcoming service needs, and handle the necessary service whether or not the owner is near the spa.

With a Connextion monitoring system from Hot Spring, spa owners can:

Set the spa's temperature miles away from its location to ensure the hot tub is ready to provide relaxing hot tub therapy.
Initiate the clean-up cycle.
Lock the spa from unsolicited use.
Control the state-of-the-art ACE^® Salt Water Sanitizing System – exclusive technology from Hot Spring to reduce water maintenance, use fewer chemicals, and keep spa water fresh and clean for up to one year.
Monitor filter cleanliness.
Monitor the spa's active features at any time.

"It's natural that a spa be integrated into the connected home, delivering convenience and peace of mind," stated Kacy Rivers, Hot Spring brand manager. "Providing greater utility of the spa – so more people can enjoy the wellness benefits it provides – is one of our main focuses. For people who travel often or those who want to bring the joy of a Hot Spring spa to a vacation home, the Connextion system provides the ability to monitor the spa from thousands of miles away. The Connextion system makes a hot tub a viable option for these people, and the peace of mind the system and the local dealer provide is another way we deliver the very best hot tub experiences to our customers."

Installation is simple. Connect the home network adapter to the home's router, and download the app. The Connextion™ app can be downloaded for free and is compatible with leading smartphones, including the Apple^® iPad^®, iPhone^® and iPod^® Touch, and Android™-enabled devices.
