Hot Tubs! Hot Deals! Hot Times!
One of my responsibilities here at Eastgate Pools & Spas is the ‘Spas’ part of the name. I simply love hot tubs and over the last twenty-four years I’ve owned three. As such, I know them pretty well and I know what makes them tick. We currently have 22 models on display. That’s a lot to choose from. I also know that for many, there isn’t quite as much liquidity as there was a few years ago and that’s one reason I have brought in quite a few models that are designed to sell for under $4000. With our Winter Clearance sale in progress, I actually have 10 models that go for $3999 OR LESS!
A leading retailer in the Louisville area went out of business
Our good friends at Walnut Ridge Pool and Patio in Clarksville Indiana decided 
retirement sounded good so they closed their doors for good. We purchased much of their inventory at GREATLY reduced prices and it is our plan to pass the savings on to the public. If you have been considering an above ground pool, this might be the year to do so as we can save you some serious cash. We also bought their casual furniture, billiard tables, and their huge parts department.
A note to existing Walnut Ridge customers: If you are in need of parts for your pool or filtration system, we can probably help. Many of these parts are exclusive to the SPARCO buying group, of which we are also members. Many items simply will not be available through other retailers in your area. Just give us a call at 513-528-4141 or email us if you need something and we’ll see if we can help.

Vent-free Gas Stoves…
If you want a great deal, we still have a few vent-free gas stoves left and they are greatly reduced. With original pricing of $699, what we have left is only $299.
We have VERY limited quantities and Natural Gas units only—sorry but we are out of Propane units. –Max
Billiard Table Cloth
You can dramatically increase the life of your table’s cloth simply by changing ends when you break. Alternate ends when you break and the cloth will not wear as badly. Also, brush the table frequently. No only does this help keep the table clean, it restores the cloth’s pile or nap and keeps the balls running true. — Max
Come See Us At The Northern Kentucky Home & Remodeling Showcase!
February 5-7 at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center in Covington Kentucky. Our resident in-ground expert, Craig Weaver, will be there to discuss new pool construction. He will also be happy to help you with any questions you might have about an existing pool or spa.
Northern Kentucky has always been a great market for Eastgate Pools & Spas and we are thrilled to set up house for a weekend at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center.
Craig has six FREE entry tickets for the first three couples to stop in at the store and ask for them. (Limit 2 free tickets per couple). First come-first serve.
Winter Hot Tub Check
I like using my hot tub when it is cold. The colder the better! I also know that there are those out there that don’t use it when it gets real cold. If you are one of these people and you’re awaiting a warm-up before you jump back in, keep an eye on your tub. The ‘out of sight – out of mind’ philosophy is a bad practice. Every day or so, lift the cover and make sure there hasn’t been a malfunction. You don’t want a big ice cube inside. And assuming it will warm back up, keep your chemistry in line. This way you can jump back in on short notice. –Max
Dazzling Demo Deals
It’s the time of year when you can save some serious cabbage—cash that is!
We have great deals on demo hot tubs. Our manufacturers do the same thing every year. They change one or two things on several models and force us to sell off existing in-stock units. Then we buy the new model and they’re happy. Well, this is your change to maximize the savings and get a demo or ‘closeout’ model. We have quite a few and you can THOUSAND dollars on some of them. Hint: They go quickly. –Max
Baby It’s Cold Outside – How About Inside Games?
Do you like to play pool and ping-pong but only have room for one table? Well, we have two options for you:
1. Do without one and miss out on half the fun (NOT recommended!)
2. Get the pool table and then add a conversion top. This is a regulation ping-pong table that is in two pieces and it rests on top of the pool table. This lets you have a full size version of both in just half the space. And don’t worry about scratching the pool table with the conversion top, as there is a protective pad that is attached to the conversion top. When you aren’t using the conversion top, store it under the pool table.
Christmas Present – Pool Cues!
While some people break with a two-piece cue, most of the experts say not to. A two-piece cue faces great compression where it screws together and will often break. Pick up a nice, inexpensive, HEAVY breaking cue and keep you expensive two-piece intact for the finesse game. –Max
Christmas Ideas!
How about a nice pool cue for the pool aficionado? We sell a couple hundred every year as presents so other people just think the same way. Here is a tip though: Do a little spying before you come in and see if the prospective gift recipient likes a light or heavy cue. It doesn’t sound like it would be important, but if they use an 18 ounce cue and you get them a 21 ounce cue, it’s like the temperature difference from July to February.
When in doubt, a gift certificate is always a good choice.

Stocking Stuffers And Goodies Under The Tree
I’d like to take this opportunity to make some gift recommendations.
How about a nice bottle of pH increaser inside that special someone’s stocking? Or maybe a small bottle of PVC glue. It’s always handy to have just in case a plumbing line springs a leak and it’s always in good taste! I might also recommend a nylon waterline scrubber for spas. We have them in a variety of colors as long as the color you want is white. And lastly, what holiday get-together around the old gas fireplace would be complete without a bottle of gas log soot remover? Ah – it will take you back to a better more carefree time. Memories last a lifetime.
Okay – maybe there are some other ideas I could recommend. Air hockey, foosball, poker and game tables, ping-pong, basketball shoot-out games, pool tables, billiard golf, spa aroma therapy gift packs, pool floats and chairs, squirt guns, tanning oils and tanning beds, a new hot tub cover – a new HOT TUB!, a pool opening next spring, a $25 gift card, a $250 gift card!, a new pool liner, a safety cover, a recover job for the family heirloom pool table, a floating beverage cooler, a patio furniture set, a patio umbrella, umbrella lights, a slide for the above ground pool, an auto cleaner for the pool, floating pool lights, spa steps, pool steps, pool cues, tip repair kits, dart boards, darts, dart cabinets, live chickens, pool noodles.
Okay – we don’t have live chickens but we do have all the other stuff . . . and more. –Max

Frequent Buyer Program – Congrats To Our 10,000th Sign Up!
Congratulations to Edna G! She was the 10,000th person signed up to the Eastgate Pools & Spas Frequent Buyer program. This is a reward program we started a few years ago as a way of saying ‘thanks’ for the continued patronage of our loyal customers. How does the program work? When you buy a hot tub, above ground pool, in-ground pool, or billiard table you will be automatically enrolled in the program. Then anytime you spend money in our store on chemicals, toys, or accessory items you earn points that eventually result in us sending YOU money. You can also sign up in the store if you want and there are no restrictions or costs to you. And Edna—we hope you are enjoying the little extra gift we sent you for being number 10,000. –Max
It Happened Today!!!
What?
We sold our first pool table of the year that was designated as a Christmas present. Thanks to Todd R. and congratulations! You locked up the 23rd of December for the installation date—the date you wanted.
A note to the wise: For most of the year, people that buy pool tables and spas want them as soon as possible, but the Christmas season is a different story. People will do what we call ‘delayed scheduling’. They will put off delivery of their hot tub or pool table until the last possible moment before Christmas to make it as much of a surprise as possible.
If you are thinking of making a hot tub, game table, or pool table a holiday present, I’d recommend you buy it now to lock up the delivery date you want. We sell several hundred of each every year and Santa can’t deliver them all on Christmas Eve. — Max
Christmas?? Already???
No – but it’s just under two months away! If there is something you want to ‘lay-away’, we would be happy to help. Whether it is a new pool cue or a hot tub, come on in, pick one out, and we can hold it while you make payments. We’re pretty easy to work with. — Max
