I can hear it now:

 "You want to be a Cowgirl? What a coincidence, I have connections with Cowboy management. Why don't you come on over to my hot tub tonight and we can discuss what I might be able to do for you! BTW, I've got stone siding on my spa!!".

I have seen the pros and cons of Cal Spas first hand, I myself would not hesitate to sell Cal again as I have hundreds of happy customers who own them and love them. I too keep hearing this "a few years back" and "not long ago". Lets talk about today, in this industry we have many brands who use to be great quality who make poor decisions and cut corners to cut cost and rely on their past good years to get them by today. I am telling you that some of the top touted spas today are outright junk. I put a couple of them way below that of the Cal. I will tell you this, Cal is a sturdy heavy duty solid spa. Recently I have witnessed some of the most foolish of engineering mistakes by a couple manufacturers.

When shopping for a spa, potential customers also look for features and benefits. Cal offers a full line of both and like every other brand out there they tell a story. The main problem I see is many spa brands telling a story that is no longer the technology they use in their line up. A specific is flow vs pressure 2 brands that come to mind use to use a higher flow jet in every model, today they are using a jet that is more pressure than flow, yet they tell the same old story of high flow.

Of course we could settle all of this and just get them into a D1 8-)

Zep is in a happy place now--

Back to football, I know women's football is relatively unheard of, but how about the Pittsburgh Passion!!  Undefeated again!!

My sister Jen used to play, but since a nasty concussion or two, she coaches the defensive line now.  She has kids to take care of and chose not to continue to play.  

[size=20]GO PASSION!![/size]

Then, the Steelers will start training...

But what are they doing to my Pens??!!!!!

[Zep]

ok WeWanna......now somebody went and told Holly we were talking about her.

Terminator?

she contacted me on MySpace last night and now she wants her Escalade!

[East_TX_Spa]

Tell Holly to call me on Saturday, Zep.  I need her to work at the Balloon Race on July 11 and 12 and the number I have for her is no longer good.

Thanks!

[Zep]

I'll let her know Term....also check your private messages.
I sent you the number I have for her.
Is that the number you have?

This thread seems to have wandered off into more interesting imagery...

Since the original question was "Where does Cal Spas stack up?", I offer the following.  In the test conducted by the Alberta Research Council, a Cal Spas Atlantic showed the highest specific power consumption out of the eight spas tested.  In the room temperature (20C) test, it used 50% more power than the next worst spa (A Coast Spas Lanai Silver).  In the cold temperature (-12C) test, it used over twice as much power as the Lanai.

This is neither "brand bashing" nor opinion but objective fact.    In fairness, I draw your attention to another fact, which is that this testing was conducted seven years ago, and it is possible that both Coast and Cal have made significant changes to the way they construct and/or insulate their products to improve their energy efficiency (Arctic hasn't changed - we got it right the first time   ).

Comments?

[Zep]

(Arctic hasn't changed - we got it right the first time  

well aren't we cocky....  

see Bonibelle/WeWanna here I was defending Arctic Spas and this guy comes in talking trash.

Another "well several years ago....blah blah"

BTW Tommy2Tone can you post a source/url of the study I'd like to look over
it and see if you are "cherry picking" as well as get a feel for whether there
is any bias.

Zep, are you helping her with the choreography or just moral support? Do you work for the Cowboys?

[In Canada eh]

Zep,

  As one of the other "much maligned spa owners" I feel I should add that a great dealer can make a P.O.S. spa (no Cal reference) seem like a Lexus and a P.O.S. dealer can make the best spa seem like a Yugo.  There are a lot of lesser known spas out there that are very good just like every other product on the market.


  Now about those Cowboys  If it wasn't for the cheerleaders I wouldn't pay an ounce of attention to them except for when the Lions are kicking thier butts (strange but they seem to do it often )

Gombo Jumbo.....no i don't work for the Cowboys.....I wish.....then maybe I could score
some free tickets in the new stadium opening next year.


New Cowboy Stadium: Opens Fall '09 - Super Bowl '11

Unfortunately I never had any kidos and she's a nice, sweet, pretty girl from a family of nine...yes
count 'em....nine children......and I just like mentoring her. I put her in a dance school thats run
by the Dallas Mavericks and now next weekend she is going to try out for the Mav Dancers team.
I guess one way or another she hopefully can make one of the teams. She is only 18, just graduated
HS this month, so she needs more polish.  As you can see she has wanted to be a Dallas Cowboys
Cheerleader for a very long time. She's actually alot prettier than the pic, so if she keeps workin hard...
dance class twice a day...she has a shot. Her goal is the Cowboys, but she'll take the Mav Dancer as a
2nd choice. I told her one day when she walks down the Texas Stadium tunnel wearing the Dallas
Cowboys Cheerleader uniform there will be two grown men (her Dad & I) sitting in the stadium
cheering like crazy....with tears rolling down our cheeks..... looking silly as hell!
