Question about Geneva

[Skellman]

Good morning to all,

Awhile back I mentioned the opportunity to buy a used Caldera Geneva. I think it's about 3-5 years old. Remember I asked a question about a "bubble" in the seat?
Initial price with a gazebo was $5k. Within a week it was dropped to $3500.00. Now, this morning I was told by a little birdie that if I offer $500.00 they'd take it. The deal is they're moving and apparently don't want to have the hassle of transporting it to their new digs.

Now, I looked in the reviews and noticed the tub was called a Caldera Geneva Utopia. Is there such a thing as a Caldera Geneva and a Caldera Geneva Utopia? What are the differences?
Or, are they one and the same.
Any other opinions/advice on this tub are welcome.
Thank you in advance.

It'd be worth $500.  I'd get it if everything else checked out OK.  Good luck!

Utopia is the series (high end at that) and Geneva is the model.

Go for it quickly.

we used to have a geneva paradise and a geneva utopia. the utopia had 2.5hp pumps and exterior and interior lighting, plus more jets, the paradise did not have as many jets and only had 2.0hp pumps and ozone was an option. either way $500 for either is a steal. get on it.

If I were to go look at the tub for say one minute, what would be the easiest way to differentiate between a Geneva Paradise and a Geneva Utopia? :-/

The easiest way is to look for the exterior lights.  They are covered by black plastic that is used to point the light down.

If it has the lights, it is  a Utopia.  If it does not, it is a Paradise.  Very easy to tell.
