so far all is good and were happy with this spa. we looked at a lot of them befor we said lets spend the extra $$$ and get more for your $$$. i would say this is top of the line.. nice power.. lights.. jets.. make this spa not just fun to use but even just to look at.. pumps are quit jet pack a punch if you turn off jets you are not useing..keep in mind you work hard for your money dont waste it.. give this spa a test run you will love it.. my friend told me about these and he has become a dealer of caldera spas and gave me a deal on mine so i wont say what i paid it would make everyone elase sick.. but i will say what he has sold one like this for with cover lift and step and all that comes with this baby.. if your near florence oregon look up florence hearth and patio and ask for jim.. tell him that you saw this review and to give you a good deal.. it will be worth the drive.. for you to pick it up.. and pay with cash.. as we know cash talks..

we have had the niagra for a little over 3 months now, and its great! we have owned 2 previous tubs (both came with the houses) so this is the first one we picked out and had installed. wet tested quite a few. liked the volcano jet on the floor. very strong, very versatile, for foot/ leg massage. even feels great as chest massage if you float over it. my fav seat is the front right. very strong, deep massage. usually spend about 10-15 mins on high (or close to it) then turn down pressure for more soothing pressure. i find i go from corner to corner for about 5-10 mins at a time, for a great overall massage.wife likes the rear left seat with the neck collar with the 4 jets up top, and the "x" shape of the jets on your back. its the depest seat on the tub, and is very comfy, as long as you're 5'7"+. this seat will nearly push you out into the center of the tub, on high intesity, and feels great about 75% pressure also.
the diverters took a little getting used to, as to what they changed. as i use the tub after dark quite a bit, i am a little puzzled why the 2nd control pad is not lit, but thats very minor issue.
overall, between myself, the wife, and 4 kids, its getting on average 1 1/2hrs- 2 hrs per day usage, and its great.
we did dabate and finally put up a gazebo from home depot with the mosquito netting on it, as the the little bloodsuckers can get pretty brutal here. hung some sheers along with the netting on 2 sides for privacy, for "adult swim" times inthe evening......works very well...

i've has my niagra for about two years. just found this site recently and it's great, wish I found it earlier. anyways, my niagra is great. I can fit 6-7 people in it when I have parties and there are a ton of jets that give me a full body workout anytime I want.
I never had a problem with it yet and my dealer has always been very professional and helpful whenever I have had questions or needed anything. would definately recommend it to something thinking about buying it.

After Wet-Testing numerous Spa's, We chose the Caldera Niagra Model and could not be happier with the choice we made.
It has been 3-Weeks now since we have been enjoying our Spa and the Winter Weather up here in Wisconsin has varied from below zero to 50-degrees in those few weeks.
Due to the Spa being our new toy and all, we have spent a considerable amount of time in it, sometimes more then 1-hour with the temp outside around 10-above zero.
The Spa never has dropped more then 1-degree in all that time. (we keep it at 104)
The seats are all fabulous and my favorite for therapy is the ecsta-seat but the others all are great as well.
We purchased from a company in Brookfield called Swimming Pool Services and there delivery, set-up and maintenance staff are phenominal.
We truly feel that this Spa has been one of the best purchases we have ever made.
Dont get me wrong I still prefer Snorkeling in the Virgin Islands but seeing as how I live here in Wisconsin with only a few weeks vacation a year it sure is nice to come home and bubble away.
