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

The 600 wont affect dealers its and 8' tub with a lounger one level bench seating  small jets small jet count  control pack is basic  and it will probably be only half foam
were the high density closed cell foam is sprayed on the shell and the plumbing is left uncovered and unsupported.  It is a cheap starter tub for someone who is looking to go cheap but have a big tub.

I don't think it will be a problem for the dealers. Cal Spas discontinued the Victory 600. So costco is selling last years model of cal spas cheapest line of spas.  Way to go costco!

I couldn't find the Cal Spa but I wonder who would pay $7,500 for the Infinity Vista model?

I'm kinda surprised.  The shell looks very nice.  Any TV in a tub scares me though.  And a Dolphin remote works with this tub.  (I wish it worked with mine, but the Balboa tech at Onlinepoolsupply says no)
If you don't have anything nice to say about someone, come sit next to me.

I read this on another web-site:

"Costco's return policy has no time limit".

Coscto cuts "special deals" with all their vendors and
the Costco vendors give Costco a full credit on all returns,
no matter when or for what reason. If they won't do this
Costco just cuts them off and moves on to someone else.

I guess Costco sells so much product they can do the above.

What a great store for consumers.

GOOOOOO COSTCO!!

I am curious, will the Cal Spa dealer get paid like Hot Spring dealers are?  Or is Cal Spa cutting them out of the deal?  I remember when Hot Spring put a spa in Costco, lots was said about how bad this was.  Since Hot Spring dealers were given a piece of the action, they were fully participating and it wasn't bad for them.

Yes it is indeed manufactured by Cal.  Supposedly was only for the NW area, but Costco made a mistake and printed it up in all booklets! ;)  I know some dealers that are NOT very happy.  No mention of them delivering the spas, but a I'm sure they will want them to service them.
