Caldera or Hot Springs
« on: June 19, 2006, 07:37:20 am »
We are making a final decision on a hot tub.  Two local dealers have tubs we like.  The Caldera dealer has a Morrea for 8000, a 2005 Tahitian for 7000.  The Hot Springs dealer has a Vanguard for 8600.

Any help with the decision out there?  Thanks

Wet test, wet test, wet test. Go with what you are most comfortable with. Either choice is a great tub.

I have the Vanguard and I think it's great.  The seat with the rotating jets is awesome and the dual moto massage seat is very good as well.  Foot jets are very powerful and it has a decent amount of room.

My 4.5 year old uses it like a small pool.

You really need to choose the one that is best for you on the basis of wet tests.  No one can advise you.  Both are great tubs made by the same manufacturer to the same high standards, but Caldera and HotSpring spas feel quite different from each other.

I'm a Vanguard owner and the dual-moto is the seat I generally use, but tend to slide around to other seats as well.

the Tahitian seems like a great deal. sit in the tubs at least dry and see what fits you better

all three of your choices are good

Strong choice Ron, We've got one, great tub and excellent therapy.  Something you'll enjoy for years to come.  And a great price to match.  Happy soaking and keep us updated on how you like it after some use.

Wow, you don't mess around Ron. It took some of us months or years to make a decision. Good luck with the Tahitian. I hear it's a great spa.
2005 Hot Spring Envoy still going strong. Million-Mile Club....

I want to get in the spa business so I can surf the internet and use Photoshop all day long.
