When my Cal Spa was delivered I was told to make sure that the electrician was careful with the "mouse guard" when making electrical connections. Upon inspection after the side panels were off we found inch wide gaps in the cabinet in all four corners. So much for mouse proof! We also found sparse insulation with several square feet of un-insulated shell. The frame has several pieces that were not fastened. My suggestion is never buy something that uses drawings or cartoons to describe their build technique and quality. This thing was poorly insulated and poorly constructed.

I have a 7 year old cal spa, first 5 years perfect, last 2 years I have basically built a new tub with replacement parts, so far in now I can't trade in, my advice , if your looking for a tub for a year or two you would be fine, if your looking for a well designed and built unit, stay away from cal spa!

I have had 2 cal-spa tubs. the first was average as far as service calls etc. and worked pretty well, the 2nd one was a nightmare. numerous leaking problems and shell bubbling.
The service from our local dealer here in Boise, ID was horrible.
I am in the market for my third spa and it will not be a Cal -Spa.

My CAL Spa Model # PE 748 L was 3 weeks old when the circulation motor went. Apparently they have had many issues with these pumps. I waited 2 months (from Nov 28, 2010 - Jan 25, 2011) for the new pump. It was installed today and we are still getting error messages and the Cal Spa IS NOT HEATING. THINK TWICE BEFORE BUYING A CAL SPA!!!!!!
