I am leaning towards caldera tarino, any one knows if $5700 is a good deal, thtas the price they gave me right away
its a110v , but can convert to 220,  which I hope I don't have to, its over $1200 to run 220 to where hot tub would be
thanks

We have a Caldara Geneva and Caldara makes a very nice product. As to the Tarino I remember we looked at them and thought about one for a bit as the seating is about what we wanted. I did my own install and wired it myself. I know most people can’t do that but I would warn you to pay the extra and have it properly connected to 220v. in the 110 mode I think it still draws 30amps according to the Caldera site 50 amps at 220v. Normal outlet in your home are rated at 15-20 amps so I’m not thinking this is something you can just plug in and I think with 110 power the unit would compromise functions. Maybe not heat and pump at the same time etc. Ask your dealer these questions.

thanks, if I have to do the 220 I would go with different model , I think vanto ( its only 300 more than the tarino)
breaker I have is 20  and I think they said it required a 15, I will go and look at some Jacuzzis today
thanks
