LMS, POOLCORP Announce Distribution Arrangement of Coleman Spas
"Our distribution arrangement is a win-win for the industry," said Casey Loyd, LMS president. "This arrangement gives specialty spa dealers across the country access to the trusted and internationally recognized Coleman brand - known for its innovation in smart outdoor living products, with an all new, top-of-the-line collection of quality, stylish and affordable hot tubs."
According to Donna Williams, Senior Director of Product Management for POOLCORP, "The innovative designs, variety of features and state-of-the-art engineering give us great confidence in bringing the Coleman Spas collection to our dealer network. Coleman Spas will be a tremendous addition to the line up of products that we currently offer."
Coleman Spas are manufactured in Pomona, Calif., at LMS' state-of-the-art 1 million-square-foot headquarters. Coleman Spas are produced to order and shipped within a record-breaking five days of order confirmation - the fastest manufacturing turnaround time in the industry. According to Loyd, this exceptional manufacturing to shipment lifecycle is driven by the company's goal to ensure that customers are able to experience the soothing comfort and pleasure of their new spas without delay. "You can literally order your spa today and enjoy it with family and friends for the next weekend get together," said Loyd.
LMS, Inc. and POOLCORP will co-host a special "First-Look Open House" on Tuesday, April 20th for interested dealers to preview the all-new Coleman Spas collection. This exclusive preview gives dealers an opportunity to experience and learn first-hand the unique features and selling points of this exciting collection.

Industry Happenings
The National Swimming Pool Foundation is suing three Nebraska health departments for copyright infringement for the use of materials from the NSPF Certified Pool/Spa Operator Handbook (published from 1983 to 2007).
"It is unfortunate that we are forced to file suit to recover damages against agencies and individuals in a profession we have worked so hard to help," commented Thomas M. Lachocki, CEO. "Any damages received by NSPF beyond our attorney fees will be directed to our grant budget to fund projects to protect citizens."
