PSP Expo 2026 Visitor Guide to Meet SUNRANS

Pool, spa and patio professionals will gather in New Orleans for PSP Expo 2026 from November 17 to 19. SUNRANS will welcome dealers, retailers, builders, service companies and private-label buyers at Booth 1837 to discuss hot tubs, swim spas, saunas and international manufacturing cooperation.

A trade-show visit produces the most value when the buyer arrives with a clear business question. You may be looking for a family hot-tub range, a premium swim spa, a differentiated private-label product or a factory that can support replacement parts and repeat orders. This guide helps you prepare the information needed for a focused discussion.

Event times, venue access and booth location should be checked against the official show information before arrival.

PSP Expo 2026 Event Information

The PSP Expo exhibition and conference is scheduled for November 17 to 19, 2026, in New Orleans, Louisiana. The event serves pool builders, spa dealers, service professionals, manufacturers, designers and other industry participants. SUNRANS is scheduled at Booth 1837.

Before the show, add the booth to your route and reserve enough time for a technical conversation. A useful first meeting normally requires twenty to thirty minutes, especially when certification, OEM development or loading plans are involved. Send your target products and country in advance so the team can prepare relevant materials.

If several colleagues are attending, assign roles. One person can evaluate product and comfort, another can cover commercial terms, and a technical colleague can review controls, installation and service access. Take notes against a standard supplier checklist so you can compare exhibitors after the show.

Why North American Dealers Should Meet a Manufacturer Directly

Direct factory discussions reveal information that a catalog cannot. Dealers can ask how configurations are controlled, how repeat orders are matched, what happens when a component changes and how claims are documented. They can also see whether the supplier understands the realities of local delivery and field service.

For a North American retailer, product success depends on the full dealer system. The spa must attract customers, fit a defensible retail position, arrive with correct documentation and remain serviceable after installation. Spare-parts identification and response quality influence the dealer's reputation long after the original sale.

SUNRANS has manufactured spa and wellness products since 2006 and supplies customers in more than 80 countries. Its product range includes compact and family hot tubs, premium swim spas, sauna rooms and cold-plunge products. Exact components, certifications and market suitability vary by model and must be confirmed.

Products and Solutions to Discuss at Booth 1837

Dealers can review several commercial roles. Compact spas address smaller yards and lower delivery complexity. Family models provide the core showroom offer. Premium spas create visual impact and give sales teams additional upgrade paths. Swim spas extend the range into exercise, rehabilitation and luxury residential projects.

Saunas and cold plunges can help a dealer develop a broader outdoor wellness offer. These categories may appeal to existing spa customers, hospitality buyers and home-fitness projects. The dealer should still assess local demand, installation capability and service requirements before adding a category.

Ask the team to recommend products by use case rather than by jet count alone. Seating, dimensions, water volume, control system, pumps, insulation, access and packaging all affect commercial fit. Request the latest configuration sheet for every shortlisted model.

North American Configuration and Compliance Questions

Bring the destination country and, where relevant, state or province. Electrical supply, component selection, labelling and installation requirements can differ. Ask which certificate applies to the exact model and configuration, and request documentation that identifies its scope.

Do not accept a broad statement such as certified for North America without checking the model reference. A change to the control system, heater, pumps, structure or product label may affect compliance. The importer should also confirm local installation codes and inspection requirements with qualified local professionals.

SUNRANS can discuss selected control and component options, including Balboa or Gecko systems on applicable models. Availability and approval status must be confirmed in the quotation and technical file. Certification, price and lead time are subject to the final specification and contract.

Dealer Product Range and Margin Planning

A strong range gives the sales team meaningful choices without excessive overlap. Begin with the customer's available space, seating needs, intended use and budget. Then assign each model a role: entry, core, premium, swim or project.

The factory price is only one input. Dealers should model ocean or inland freight, duties, warehousing, final delivery, installation support, payment costs, marketing, warranty reserve and local labor. Products that appear similar at FOB level can produce very different gross margins after these costs are included.

Ask for packed dimensions and loading assumptions early. They influence freight per unit and inventory planning. When comparing models, include the thermal cover, steps, accessories and starter spare parts that the dealer expects to sell or provide.

OEM and Private Label Opportunities

PSP Expo gives brand owners a practical setting to review private-label options. Bring a clear brief that separates essential requirements from preferences. Essential items may include electrical configuration, brand identity and target retail position. Preferences may include cabinet finish, acrylic color, massage layout or accessory bundle.

SUNRANS can review branding, selected finishes, controls, configurations, packaging and manuals, subject to technical feasibility. Large changes can affect tooling, certification, MOQ, pricing and schedule. A standard platform with controlled visual changes is often a lower-risk starting point.

Ask how the sample will be approved and how approved features will be recorded for production. An OEM agreement should define artwork ownership, specification control, acceptable tolerances, inspection, replacement parts and responsibilities for market claims.

Delivery Unloading and Installation Planning

The delivery route should be considered before the product is ordered. A dealer needs to know packed dimensions, weight, handling points and whether the unit ships fully assembled. The final site may require a spa dolly, forklift, crane or specialist delivery crew.

Swim spas demand additional planning because of their length and weight. Confirm road access, turning space, gate width, overhead restrictions, foundation, drainage and electrical connection. The buyer should also identify who removes packaging and who manages placement at the destination.

SUNRANS can provide model information and packaging data after configuration is defined. The importer and local professionals are responsible for confirming transport rules, safe lifting plans, site engineering and installation compliance.

Warranty Parts and Field Service Questions

Ask for the warranty by component, not only the headline term. Clarify exclusions, evidence requirements, replacement-parts policy and responsibility for local labor. Confirm whether the same terms apply to hot tubs, swim spas, saunas and customized products.

For SUNRANS hot tubs, the current warranty reference is structured by component, including five years for shell structure, two years for acrylic surface and plumbing components, eighteen months for electronic equipment and control systems, and one year for selected surface accessories. Conditions and exclusions apply, and the signed contract remains authoritative.

Dealers should also plan a starter parts package. Filters, seals, sensors, controls and other service items should be selected according to the actual models. Good serial-number and photographic records reduce time when a claim occurs.

Questions to Bring to the Booth

Prepare a written list covering target market, product role, desired retail position, expected annual volume, sample needs, certification, electrical configuration, packaging, container plan, warranty, spare parts and delivery timing. If you are replacing an existing supplier, describe the problems you want to solve without sharing confidential information.

Ask for written follow-up rather than relying on memory. The follow-up should identify shortlisted products, outstanding technical points, quotation inputs and the next meeting. If the project is advanced, discuss whether a virtual technical review or factory visit is appropriate.

All commercial terms, including price, MOQ, lead time, certification, loading quantity and warranty, must be confirmed for the selected model, destination and signed agreement.
