I am another newbie

[carolina coastie]

 Hello to all from Wilmington,NC. We are new to the forum and to the hot tub experience, We just purchased a Caldera spas 6 person tub ( the Marino ) and are looking forward to enjoying it. I am pouring the 7x7 concrete pad myself with #4 rebar layed in for support and a buddy of mine(licensed electrician) is wiring it up. just getting impatient, dealer told me it could be up to 3 weeks for it to come in and its only been a week..LOL
 Just curious on what anyone thinks of Caldera spas...the reviews I found online on several sites were all pretty good

The decision of what spa to get is equally about the brand, the dealer, the deal and finding right model that fits your needs. Hopefully you negotaietd well and wet tested but all that is beyond you now. You did fine on the brand and hopefully have found a dealer that will be there for you after the sale so welcome aboard and good luck.

I have a Niagra and enjoy it very much.  I had a 2006 and Caldera replaced the tub with a 2010 model not long ago due to a problem. As others have said, if you have a good dealer you should be just fine.  Enjoy your tub.
