After 3 months of research we finally purchased a Caldera Geneva Utopia Series from Pettis Pools in Rochester, NY.
I'd like to thank everyone on this forum for their input. It was a valuable tool in our research and saved us a lot of time and energy
I'll let you all know how we like the tub, but I'm confident we made a good decision, in part because of the information we found here.
In one of my earlier forays I was reading about solutions for lighter and smaller people's tendency to float in a spa (ie., my wife). Someone mentioned a weight filled pad that could be draped across your legs to counteract the bouyancy. Unfortunately I didn't make note of it at the time. Is anyone familiar with these and their effectiveness?
