CALSPAS what you think
Vanguard:
All I can say is buyer beware when it comes to Cal Spas. All I'm going to say.
Pathfinder:
Vanguard, have you any relevant experience with Cal or just third party peanut gallery garbage????
Silent Water:
CalSpas was one of the (many) tubs that I researched when I was shopping. They looked comfy - and they seemed to be priced competitively. I had to give them a miss for two reasons though:
1) I checked inside the cabinets and found less insulation than I expected to see, and
2) The salesperson was clueless. Not his fault - he was just a kid - but he tried to tell me that I should have an ozonator because it would reduce my electric bill. Umm.... time for me to move on.
You were asking about HydroSpas a while back, Dead Men Walking. Approach your research to this tub the same way. Do some digging of your own and see how they compare to others that you've read about. :-/
Your comments about the dealer are good too. You need to feel comfortable with your service as well as the product.
I found it really helpful during my search to compare quality, comfort and dealer competence before I even thought about price. That may be a little backwards, but it made me feel better about dropping several thousand bucks for a big toy.

Re: CALSPAS what you think
All I can say is I am a Cal Spas owner
(unlike some others that are negative about Cal Spas)
and I love my Cal Spa and would not trade it for any other brand of spa!
But there are alot of great hot tub brands out there.....so pick your dealer wisely no matter what brand you decide on. You want a dealer that will be there for you long after the sale.
Cal Spas offers an enormous amount of choices as far as style and design of your tub.
I would think no other spa maker offers the amount of different tub choices as Cal Spas.
Wet test a few brands and see what you like best.
BTW....Cal Spas are the only tubs in the industry exclusively powered by GE Motors.
My CalSpas tub has 92 jets!
Cal Spas must be doing something right.....Cal Spas just opened a huge new state of the art 500,000 square foot spa manufacturing facility in California that employs 1200 people. With the new facility Cal Spas now has about 1 million square feet of space.
I personally love the new Cal Stone cabinetry being offered only by Cal Spas. Of course Cal Spas also still offers the traditional cabinetry siding too.
I also love my LED lights and my waterfall.
All spa makers have their detractors and complaints...sometimes people are trying to protect their "meal ticket" by bashing other brands, sometimes others feel their brand is the best.....hey thats what makes the world go around.....everybody has an opinion.....you asked and as a Cal Spas owner I gave my opinion.
Again all I can say is [size=14]I love my Cal Spa![/size]

Zep, that is truly the only thing that's important!
I loved the faux stone cabinet too. Wouldn't be surprised of more companies start offering innovative cabinet designs like this now that skirts are going synthetic.
And CalSpa had a HUGE selection of tubs - some of the nicest styles that I had seen.
Thanks for the first-hand perspective. Happy tubbing!
