YAWNNNNNNN!!!!!!! ::)
LOL.  Are we boring you?

Ultimately, though, these legislative 'baby steps' are going to have a dramatic influence on the industry.  As manufacturers, we are proactive and involved (bet you couldn't tell from my posts, huh?).

That’s what I’ve been saying. This why I'm not too worried if a few fudged their way to meeting those CEC standards. In time their feet will be held to the fire if that is the case. It’s a ladder and we're only on the first rung.

Anything and everything mentioned about CalSpas is going to get
lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of attention!

It's like mentioning Michigan at a Notre Dame pep rally.

If it is so easy to fudge your way to get on the list, why have others not done it? I know the other company we sell tubs for, Leisure Bay, is/has been working on getting their tubs to pass. They have not got there yet. If it was so easy to fudge their way into this list, I think they would since it is such an exspense to go through the process to pass.

No doubt some are taking it seriously and there are a few that probably even needed to add insulation, cut down on air transfer, etc. to meet the standard. The point is that others may decide to shortcut this if they don't test well and fudge to meet their results since this appears to be self reported at this point. No one is saying it has happened for sure, just that it could be happening. Long term I gotta believe they'll have to make them actually work because I think this is just the beginning and if they are self reported somewhere along the lines they'll be tested by a 3rd party.

it will come back to bite them in the butt when they get audited by the CEC to see if their spas meet the requirements.

Zep,
What dealer did you purchase your CalSpa from?

I purchased a new Cal a couple of years ago and I love my CalSpas tub!

Plus my CalSpas dealer has been great.

I believe he bought it at the Spa Warehouse in Mesquite.

I bought a Calspa almost a year ago and I love it.  Not a problem so far.  My dealer is great and apparently doing better than others in town.  They just bought out a Jacuzzi dealership that shut down closer to my home and are relocating since its a larger showroom.  Wet test before you buy and your mileage may vary.  That makes at least three happy Cal owners...four if you count one of my friends who recommended them to me.
