First, lets understand, "Who Is Gatsby?"
or "Who Is XXXX?" Gatsby was a manufacturer of spas built to
be sold by big box stores. They built spas under names such as
Gatsby, Imperial, Swift River, and Blue Ridge. Their plant was in
Florida and their market was the southeastern part of the USA.
Jacuzzi Inc bought Gatsby Spas in circa
1999. It seems Jacuzzi's intent was to have their volume sale spas
all built at the Gatsby plant. But soon Jacuzzi restructured and the
Florida plant and model lines built there were discontinued and the
plant closed.
Prior to Jacuzzi buying Gatsby, Gatsby
had discontinued support and parts supplies for their earlier models
and only supported their current line. When Jacuzzi bought the
company they continued that limited support. Jacuzzi's authorized
service companies like us only received that limited support and
parts. Therefore, our experience both in the fielded and for parts
are spas made about 1998 to closing of the plant and only spas with
a completely electronic system.
So, first thing to do is determine if we
can even help you. If you have a control system that uses plunger
type on/off buttons or has a temp dial, we have no expertise or
parts for those control systems. Upside is most pumps and heaters
can be adapted to those older systems. But only support for the
control system and topside is removing and installing retrokit.
If you have a fully electronic topside,
we support and supply parts for those spas. A typical topside for
these electronic system is:
