The AQUA 100
A Guide to the Most Professional Spa and Pool Dealers in the Country
Each year between 1989 and 2010, AQUA Magazine published profiles of 100 of the top spa and pool dealers, builders and service companies in the industry. These outstanding companies were chosen not by their size or sales volume, but by the overall professionalism they displayed in the areas of customer service, store design, product knowledge, craftsmanship and advertising/promotion.
Dealers nominated themselves by submitting a comprehensive entry packet demonstrating why they deserved AQUA 100 recognition. The winners were announced in a special AQUA 100 issue of the magazine, which came out each April.
In 2010, we decided to close the curtain on the program and focus on a new program — the State of the Industry. It was a difficult decision, but we felt our readers would be better served by our new direction.
Many thanks to the AQUA 100’s enthusiastic participants and judges, without whom the program wouldn’t have been possible.The AQUA Hall of Fame
Companies that consistently won a spot on the list eventually earned their way into the AQUA 100 Hall of Fame. The group is made of companies that have appeared on the AQUA 100 list five straight years or eight times overall.
