------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In 1981 Rick Bartlett and Bob Dapper started
Royal Spa by making hot tub shells on the south side of Indianapolis.
They were engineering students at the time and were 18 years old.
The primary product expanded from hot tubs to include saunas, swim
spas,gazebos and whirlpool baths as the company continued to custom
make luxury products. Royal Spa began manufacturing spas and support
accessories in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1981 and incorporated as Royal
Spa Corporation in 1983. We are a full service manufacturer with an
over 89,000 square foot plant located in the southwest part of Indianapolis.
Our plant includes a full service vacuum forming and fiberglass shop
where we vacuum form our spa, swim spa, micro spa and jetted bathtub
shells, a full service wood shop where we manufacture our spa cabinets,
gazebos, sauna, and steps, a mold shop where we design and produce
our own molds, and assembly plant, a full line service department
and a factory showroom. If it is related to spas, you can rest assured
that we make it from the ground up.
We are committed to providing quality spas, swim spas, micro spas,
jetted bathtubs, gazebos, saunas and accessories that meet the needs
of our customers and dealers. We take pride in being able to offer
you smartly engineered equipment with many unique features found only
in Royal Spa products. We set ourselves apart from the competition.
At Royal Spa, we are committed to building products that will outlast
their owners, are inexpensive to maintain and operate, and that will
be inexpensive to repair after warranties have expired. After seeing
our spas and accessory products, we're sure you'll agree that we have
achieved our goals.
In 1996 the focus of Royal Spa shifted from trying to make similar
products for less money than our competitors to making the "Best
of the Best" from both an engineering design prospective and
an ease of operations for our customers. The others were making products
that were cheap and easy to make while we wanted to make them cheap
and easy to own for our customers. Our different spa lines and other
accessory products were designed to give you the option to choose
what best suits your needs. Each line uses the same shell models,
but you have a choice in materials, quantity of jets, circulation
systems and more. In addition, we realize that you sometimes need
a product that isn't standard, so we have maintained the flexibility
to allow you to make minor modifications, when required. You simply
need to choose what best suits your needs.
