This is the best spa ever! The volcano jets are so great. After a day of skiing or hiking they make our legs feel so much better. No other spa has jets like the volcanos It seems like there is a jet for every sore spot-from the lower back to the neck! I’m definitely liking the salt system too!
I actually was able to try it out before I bought it. Lacy my spa consultant really helped me find the right spa for my family. I went to every shop in the valley and looked extensively on line too. I am very happy with this purchase. Thanks!

Our first Caldera Tahitian was 25 years old when a lightening strike fried the mother board which was no longer available. Our new Tahitian is more powerful, jet wise, lighting system is excellent, and we could not be happier.

I visited every place around and found amazing help choosing the correct tub for my needs. I sat in many tubs and even got a water brick seat to bring me to the correct height for enjoying our tub. Size and type of tub changed many times. Lacy helped me every step of the way! Ended up custom ordering so 4 to 6 weeks wait ended up only being 4 weeks. The delivery guys were awesome and went over my tub with me. After I got the correct electrical done I took the water in to get tested…. ( everyone should do this)! I also asked questions the whole time with lots of advice from the Wellness Consultants and knew I had support ready if needed. The tub is super quiet and last night as it was heating and cycling I could barely hear it. I waited to set up levels because I have 12 weekly maintenance visits (one of many surprises that made this experience great)! Anthony my water maintenance guy was great explaining what to look for and how my chemicals and salt system work (this was great because it matched what Lacy explained and my manual). Today between rain showers I got in the tub. I love it! I checked out all the jets and even in the cold with all of jets on the temperature of the tub stayed constant. The jets are amazing and I love this tub. Thanks Lacy and the amazing team at the Medford Oregon Hot Tub!

We’ve had our Caldera Tahitian for about 6 yrs now. We use it practically every week, 52 weeks of the year and we live in NJ.
Early on, the main board failed but this was quickly resolved under warranty. Other than that we’ve had zero technical issues. We have the dark interior and grey exterior and it is still a good looking tub! The size is just right with a nice lounge seat and ample room for 5- 6 adults if needed. I find the upkeep easy with just one large water filter and the 24-7 heat pump/filter coupled with the daily automatic full clean session keeps the tub clear and clean at all times. Little bit of chloride weekly is all it takes. The only call out for us has been that the exterior of this tub (apparently designed by engineers from BMW automotive) has been rather flimsy. The exterior panels can come lose and have needed some small repairs (velcro and tape). Not sure if that has been updated in recent years. It looks very slick and chique though with black on grey! Energy costs have been great. As said the tub is on all year at 100F and I don’t think we’ve seen our energy bill jump by much, and that includes cold NE winters. When it snows, the snow on the cover doesn’t melt despite a 100F water temperature inside. This is our first tub and while the Tahitian is a pricey tub we had expected some issues, but 6 yrs of constant use have been worry free and nothing but joy of use!

I purchased my Caldera in 2015 and when I sold my house, the new owner wanted it, so I left it there. So I purchased a 2022 Tarino (smaller) for my new house. Being a former Caldera owner, I knew my next tub would be another Caldera! Best spas EVER period!!

Absolutely love our Tahitian hot tub. We have had it for 1 year now and have used it regularly every week from fall through spring. It has been a big hit with the adult kids who come over much more frequently now. I think the Tahitian is the perfect size. Holds 6 people comfortably. The lounger is my favorite seat. Just something about having all those jets hit the right spots. I was worried it would take a lot of upkeep but with the salt water system it is so easy to maintain. As others have said - why did I wait so long!!

My wife and I purchased the Caldera Utopia series Tahitian spa in July 2021. We have now owned almost a year and zero problems to date. Our previous spa was a Hot Springs Jetsetter (also made by Watkins who makes Caldera) which we thought was amazing. The Jetsetter was about 20 years old and still working but we were ready for a larger and more modern spa. The Tahitian is awesome! We knew we wanted to stay with a Watkins product, so we looked at Hot Springs and Caldera. Overall, the Caldera seems to be a step above the Hot Springs with regards to the overall look and feel and options. Also, the Tahitian had just the right size and seat layout for us. Our Tahitian has the bluetooth speaker system which I would not have added but I am very happy with that feature now that I've experienced it. I would suggest this feature even if you have an outdoor sound system because the sound in the tub while pumps are running is so much better than our outside speakers, and the volume doesn't have to be as loud as an external stereo to still enjoy the sound. In my opinion, there's no better spa on the market than Caldera or Hot Springs. If you know you're going to use a spa for years, I would suggest these spas. You can buy cheaper, but the quality is just not there like it is with the Caldera spa!

We had an earlier model for over 15 years and recently purchased the Tahitian salt water model. It’s very low maintenance and comes with some new water and light features that are new to us. We are thrilled with it!

We have loved our new hot tub!!!! The only minor things is that the light on the water fall had some major condensation after a month of use. The vendor we purchased our tub from did replace it.

I think I may have been the last customer to receive a Caldera Provence. It’s the double lounger in the Utopia Series. It was the perfect fit for my balcony outside my bedroom. Keep in mind, I had to have a structural engineer put in extra support to avoid any possible overweight issues. The set up was tricky but well worth it. I’m so very happy I chose a Caldera Utopia Series Model. First and foremost, it’s the most comfortable spa on the market. I’m 6’3 and my wife is 5’4, and we both are cradled in absolute comfort. The power and adjustability of the jets are arguably the best in the industry. Very user friendly and looks better than any hot tub on the market !!! Great Value for the quality you are getting. Very happy with my purchase and a big thank you to Caldera

We purchased our Tahitian tub just a year ago in Mar, just after the Pandemic hit. We LOVE IT!, Our Salesman, Al, and the whole delivery team were great and efficient. We love the deep massaging jets and the easy maintenance of the salt water system.

We were hesitant at first but due to corona virus and not being able to cruise, we invested our money into a Caldera Tahitian hot tub. My wife and I have enjoyed sitting under the stars, relaxing in our hot tub. The therapeutic benefits are amazing as well!

We bought the Tahitian the first week of June 2020, as our first SPA . I changed my first salt water cartridge on October 1st. I have attached a picture that I took on that morning! Yes we used it! Yes it looks great and there is absolutely NO ODOR! The water is still sparkling clean after 4 months of use. I absolutely love the ease of this Spa. I would also recommend getting the lift! I don't know what I was thinking because I didn't want to- and then I visited someone who has a lift and saw how important this is. Who wants their cover on the ground or damaged? Get the lift! Also- we are in Maine where it gets really cold and windy.

After owning the Caldera Tahitian Spa for one year, it has added tremendous value to our day to day livelihood. Now an absolute necessity in my daily routine, I find myself jumping in whenever the weather gets a tad chilly, just to warm up. Beyond that the health benefits to my muscles are apparent with tight knots being worked out without the need for human interaction. The tub has found it's way to our backyard and into our home, as a permanent fixture forever.

This is the second Caldera hot tub I've owned in the last 16 years. We enjoyed our first Caldera (also the Tahitian model ) for 14 years.
Our new hot tub is even better!
We now enjoy 2 Euphoria jets, neck massage, the lounge and (as the one who has to maintain the hot tub) the Freshwater Saltwater system. This system is awesome: I only change water once a year and maintaining the proper chemistry is so simple. It does require replacement of a chlorine generation cartridge every 4 months, but the water is always soft, clean and never smells 'chemically'.
We have no regrets with our decision to purchase a second Tahitian as we were building our new house - we did not look at any other tubs.
