New Caldera model?
« on: May 09, 2006, 09:43:22 pm »
We're scheduled to wet test an '06 Caldera C45 spa on Thursday.  This model "number" does not seem to fall into their general model "names."  Does anyone know anything about this model?  Is it a promotional spa that will not be manufactured on a regular basis?  If so, does this often present a problem with future service or are there quality issues?  We've been told that the C45 is similar to the Geneva but with only 1 high efficiency pump.  Would I be buying an inferior product if this was our favorite tub?
Thanks in advance for any information you can give me!

There is no Caldera C45.  All Caldera models have names.  What does the spa look like?  What is the size?

Could this be a Cal Spa?  Although, I don't know of any Cal Spa models by that number either.

Caldera is a great brand and very comfortable.

My receipt for a "hold" deposit definitely says "Caldera C45"  It looks 99% like the Geneva (& that's what the salesperson compared it to) with wrist jets on the lounger.
I saw a post on another forum that there are rumors that a large retailer may have had a line "developed" for them that they are warrnetying themselves as opposed to the manufacturer.  Any change that this may be the case?
I'm in OH.

Hi, I just bought a new Caldera Spa hot tub, and like the other person said no such things as numbers I think someone is pulling you leg.. The Caldera spas all have names and the newest model this year is the Moorea which I just bought three weeks ago.. We have looked at Caldera for three years before we bought and looked around and the company always had names only brand we came across what jucuzzi with numbers.. I sure hope you know what you are really buying... On spasearch. org. there is caldera dealers on that site as well so they could also tell you ...Does the spa still have the 10 years warrenty etc ???

Thanks for the heads up! - we were skeptical about it once we looked at the website which is why we posted this.  this was my least favorite dealer - however, it's the only hot springs, caldera, & tiger river dealer in the area and I've read such good things about their spas in general.  We're still going to wet test it & a HS tonight & put them on the spot about the "C45" model.  It would make our decision much easier if we dislike the wet tests.  I'll let you know what they say.

Rowan,

The paradise geneva mold with a stereo?! It's an Elation. Virtualy the same mold, virtualy the same seating, Virtualy the same spa! What are they going to do to address the price point, remove the integrated sub woofer? Give it only 2 speakers? Is it going to have 2 jet pumps and a circ pump, no blower? Are they leaving the blower in?

So they're selling tents now? Guess they're competing with Coleman there too.
220, 221, whatever it takes!

Haaaaahaaaahaaaaa!!!! ;D ;D ;D

All Caldera needs now is a line of sleeping bags, ice coolers, weenie roasters, and snake bite kits and they can go head to head!
