Nestled in the heart of Easton, Massachusetts, Easton Pool & Spa Inc. stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of the Hobaica family. Brothers David and Robert Hobaica, second-generation owners, have seamlessly woven innovation into the fabric of a business that began more than 50 years ago under the visionary leadership of their father, Henry.
In the pool industry, where trends ebb and flow, Easton Pool & Spa has emerged as a distinguished name. It is a far cry from the modest beginnings in 1972 when Henry set out to transform the backyard recreation landscape.
His journey into the world of pools began in the late 1950s, but it was not until the 1990s, after acquiring a residence in Florida with a small swimming pool, that the foundation for a business concept took root. Intrigued by the lower maintenance and operating costs of smaller pools without sacrificing the quintessential allure of a traditional counterpart, Henry dreamt of bringing this concept back north. As a result, the blueprint for what would later evolve into a widely embraced trend—the precast plunge pool—was conceived.
Fast forward to the present, and the Hobaica brothers have not only upheld their father’s vision but propelled it to new heights. With more than 80 years of collective experience in the industry, David and Robert have fine-tuned the concept of the precast plunge pool, introducing it seamlessly into the Easton Pool & Spa business model. Enter Plunge Pool Concepts (PPC), the result of their commitment and innovative spirit.
Also located in Easton, Massachusetts, PPC stands as a prominent manufacturer in the realm of precast plunge pools, guided by the leadership of David, Robert, and company president, Tim Dooling. Their influence is evident in the innovative strides they make, reshaping the future of the pool industry with each plunge. Going beyond the ordinary, PPC’s offerings provide clients with one of the market’s most expansive and customizable precast plunge pools. What distinguishes PPC is not solely the pool’s size but also its patented, modular design which helps ensure a prompt installation process without compromising quality and durability.
