Welcome to our forum.
Can anyone give me info on Cal Spas. How do they rate with Caldera, HS or Artesian? If anyone has a Cal let me know what kind and how you like it. Thanks Mcmishka
QuoteCan anyone give me info on Cal Spas. How do they rate with Caldera, HS or Artesian? If anyone has a Cal let me know what kind and how you like it. Thanks McmishkaI am not a Cal Spa owner, but almost was. I liked the foot dome and neck jet options and the depth of the Cal Spa, I went another route only because of price, but still got my foot dome and neck jets. I wasn't to impressed with the basic models but with all the options added they are great. HS is the number one brand but I wanted lots of jets, foot domes, neck and sholder wrap around jets and they didn't have any models like that at my local store. Caldera seemed quite expensive for what you got, they claim their added price is for quality, but I saw no features that grabbed me. I didn't look at the Artesian. I don't know if it is true but I have read on the forums that if you get a spa with add on options from Cal Spa there is fine print somewhere that reduces your warranty to 1 year, you might want to check that out, because all the spas they carried at our local dealer were ordered in with options on them. I tend not to believe that, but should be checked out.
CalSpas I believe is the only tub maker that are exclusively powered by GE® Motors.
re: Does any other spa maker promote their spas based on the motors used on the pumps? Who knows?I know if I was selling something with an engine and that engine was made by Rolls Royce I would certainly mention that fact.Just like I might not mention it if no one would recognize the engine I was using.
QuoteI guess the idea is that potential customers will assume this is some sort of advantage beacuse "GE" is a name people have heard of. .I would have to see one of the motors, but for me if could mean helping the local economy of my original home town and job security of my brother in law and his family. He winds motors for GE. So it could mean at least one major American made part.
