VISTA, Calif. - Hot Spring Spas awarded Don Benecke of Osage Beach, Mo. as the winner of its June Hot Spring Salt Water Hot Tub Giveway.

Benecke won the Hot Spring spa model of his choice - complete with the revolutionary ACE Salt Water Sanitizing System, the proprietary CoverCradle cover lifter and a matching Everwood step. To enter the Giveaway, contestants were encouraged to "Like" the Hot Spring Spas Facebook page and then watch an animated video to find out why "diamonds are a hot tub's best friend." To increase their chances of winning, contestants were encouraged to share the video with friends.

Benecke, a long-time hot tubber and owner of a 22-year-old Highlife Hot Spring spa, was contacted by the company's corporate office. "I am thrilled to be selected as the winner of a brand new Hot Spring spa," Benecke said. "I am one of Hot Spring's biggest fans! I've loved my hot tub for so many years. It's still working well, so I haven't upgraded. It's so exciting to win a brand new one with the salt system!"
Spreading the word about the ACE salt water sanitizing system was one of the main objectives of the sweepstakes. "This breakthrough innovation has simplified hot tub water care, making it incredibly easy to enjoy a Hot Spring spa," said Kacy Rivers, Hot Spring brand manager. The video describes how the ACE system works: Using exclusive diamond technology, the proprietary ACE salt water sanitizing system automatically creates the cleaners needed to keep spa water sparkling and silky soft, while the hot tub owner relaxes.

"We wish everyone could be a winner," Rivers said. "It's wonderful to see our community of Hot Spring hot tubbers sharing their love for Hot Spring Spas and inviting so many friends to participate in the Salt Water Hot Tub Giveaway. Our Hot Spring Facebook Page Likes grew tremendously in just one month, with lots of excited postings."
