CALSPAS what you think
apple-picker:
Hello, I'm the new guy trying to mame decisions on what tub to purchase. Looked at the Cal's today for the first time. They had a new model Atlantic that is not in the brochure yet but sure made a hit with my wife and I.
We both felt the sales person was on board to our needs.
This tub is supposed to be a custom with lot's of +++++s.
But now after reading the messages of HS vs. CalSpa I'm even more confused.
Pathfinder:
There is no need for confusion if the the Atlantic has impressed you and your wife and cover all of your wants and needs in a tub dont worry about the ney sayers who have nothing better to do with there time.
HS is a very good product but if your looking at an Atlantic there will be no other model in their line up that will give you the options you are looking at and the best thing with the classic Atlantic is customization.
If you look at who is being negative they arent in the spa industry, dealers,reps,& other professionals wont start bashing someone elses choice bc its a little thing called TACT

I've avoided this thread but the point above I think is where Cal Saps has had their issues. Most spa companies make about 10, 12 or 15 models and each model is made a certain, repeatable way. They zero in on a process and build thousands of spas one after the other, all alike. Cal Spas has decided to try to be everything to everyone and literally has about 90 models and lets customers/dealers customize the spas in a multitude of ways. They loose repeatability in their spa making process by way of this and I'm convinced this has been a PART of their past/present Quality problems (you can argue whether they are past or present issues, that's not my point). I think it's a very bad decision to let customers and dealers decide which jets go where or how many jets the spa gets, etc. I'd want a spa that had a very specific jet/equipment/plumbing diagram that was tested for plumbing, pressure and flow optimization with all of that model built that same way. If I'm on the production floor and a spa comes through to be built I should be able to build it in my sleep (well maybe not when it's new which is why people always say don't a buy a new car in the first couple months of it's introduction). I shouldn't have to look at some shop order or some special instructions to figure out exactly how that spa needs to be built.
Pathfinder:
A very valid point to which I wont make any sort of BS retort bc I personally would like to see Cal dump quite a few models and condense a few lines with the preliminary info I have recieved so far for 07 and also just adding the Avalon line.
But the only series in Cal that you can customize is the Classic series all other series are what you see is what your getting with exception to lighting and stereo packages

Now if they can knock their models offerings down from 90 to 15 they'll be taking another good step.
