Bachmanns Pools, Spas & Saunas
BY FRED BACHMANN, FOUNDER
Our journey began in 1985 when I started Bachmanns Pools, Spas & Saunas. This year marks our 40th anniversary, and it is a reminder of how far we have come. My wife, Kiya, has been by my side for all except the early years. This year marks her 25th anniversary with the business. It has been an incredible journey building this company together, from the ground up.
We recently received the Locksin Thompson award, the most coveted honor in the hot tub industry. For 35 years, this award has been presented annually to only the top worldwide leader. The committee that makes the decision is comprised of industry leaders who have seen it all. I remember attending these conferences more than three decades ago, watching my mentors receive this award, and saying, “Someday, I’ll be up there.” Looking back, it’s been the journey that’s been the most rewarding, not just the recognition.
Through this 40-year journey, the Locksin Thompson award has always been my North Star, guiding me to continually improve and focus on what matters most: an unwavering commitment to delivering quality, customer satisfaction, and sense of wellness and happiness. Bachmanns has checked all the boxes to be granted this award. We have developed a strategic initiative system with our team leaders. With our core values always being at the center, we have empowered every employee to constantly improve every aspect of the business. This team empowerment practice
will also ensure a smooth transition for our customers into the next generation and beyond. We believe this is why Bachmanns is the only Hot Spring Spa dealership to have received the International Service Department of the year award twice. We offer the very best brands in each category: Radiant Swimming Pools, Hot Spring Spas, Vigor Cold Plunges, Tylo Saunas, Endless Fitness Systems and BioGuard water care products. We are proud of our award-winning showrooms in Madison and Brookfield. Other dealers from around the world visit our stores to get ideas for their own. Both stores have Endless Swimming Pools filled with water for testing. Each store has two private experience rooms where customers can soak in spas and even experience the chill of a cold plunge. You can complete your experience with the contrast of infrared, traditional and steam saunas.
At Bachmanns, our well-trained staff and experienced team is here to guide you through the process and make sure you find the perfect product for your needs. ◆
