My KAUAI spa is comfortable and relaxing my family enjoys using the spa. The lights at night are so cool. The jets are relaxing. I have a bad back and use all most every day. My company also enjoys my KAUAI spa. Very attractive it's a big hit with my grandkids. I would definitely recommend the Caldera Spa to everybody.

Heavenly Kauai

This spa is wonderful. Great for arthritis stiffness, skin, and relaxation for stress…….especially sitting and looking up at stars at night. Am thinking that's it's not only a luxury but a necessity in today's fast paced world.
Perfect size for three and low maintenance.

Placed the spa in an outdoor covered patio, so no snow to clear off the cover, but the cold fresh air was an amazing counterpoint to the bubbling hot water jets and light show. Truly a unique and wonderful experience.

I live in Maine & purchased this Hot tub for my outside deck. Love, Love, Love, the size.. perfect for 2 for relaxing...adding a 3rd makes it comfortable for chatting... It has been through some very cold, snowy winters. I have only needed to replace the cover once, due to a branch piercing it and had a minor electrical circuit issue. Easy to maintain.

This is my third Hot tub and it is by far the best hot tub I have owned. The tree seats all offer different arrangement of jets so they massage all parts of the body. I use it every day. Still playing sports at 60 with the help of my spa.

This spa is perfect for my husband and myself. The jets are in all the right spots. Messages my calfs and feet as well as my back and shoulders. It's so nice to end my day with a dip in the spa before bed. I sleep like a baby now
It's so easy to maintain with the frog system. I just put the stickers on my calendar to remind myself to change the cartridges. Don't get much easier than that!

I loved our Kauai at first. So comfortable and seemed so perfect for the two of us. Three months down the road, I'm so over trying to get the water to stay clear. I heard a rumor that some of the spas on the market today have changed the source of their plumbing and that the new plumbing has a problem that causes white flakes in the water. The water turns a milky white when the jets are on and it gets a bit too foamy. I was told to purge the system with a product called Ahh-Some. I did that 3 times the first time, rinsed it twice then shocked the fresh water with spa grade hydrogen peroxide. This process took 10 hours of my day. The water stayed nice for about 9 days, though the milkiness of the water with jets on returned at about 5 days. On the 9th day, it all began to go downhill. White gunky stuff began to grow rapidly inside the plumbing and would shoot out when the jets were turned on. I have just purged it for the 4th time with Ahh-some. Ran the jets for 40 minutes, then let the tub sit for 8 hours and ran the jets for another 30 minutes before draining and cleaning. I will fill and rinse the tub twice before doing a final fill with filtered water. I thought spas were supposed to bring relaxation and peace to one's life. Mine has been a source of frustration. If this attempt fails, I think I'll have to ask for my money back. :-( I waited so long for this tub! I have attached a photo of what is coming out of the plumbing.

Problem not solved
Posted July 1, 2016
I'm so disappointed! My latest attempt to correct the problem did not work. Has anyone actually been able to fix this? I see a few other posts that are similar to mine. Apparently there are just some lemons out there and I was one of the unfortunate recipients. :-(

Have purchased to "Kauai". Part of the paradise series. Smaller - designed for a married couple living on a smaller lot, a few blocks off the Pacific. Maintenance had been easy. Have enjoyed for over one year without incident. Electrical is designed to separate heating and the operating of the Jets. No significant increase in electricity. Overall, I'm very please with my spa!

My Kauai was the perfect choice for me and it fit perfectly in a space on one of my decks, facing the river. Many relaxing and beautiful soaks take place at my house!
It's easy to maintain and the jets help with life's aches and pains.
I am a very satisfied customer.

Bought my Kauai June 2004 and the only service required was heater pump replacement in 2013. Now that is reliability with a capital R! It is extremely comfortable and easy to winterize & maintain. My Caldera Kauai is absolutely one of the best purchases I've ever made! When it's time to trade in
be assured Caldera will be the only product line I look at!

Though 3 persons can fit this spa just fine, it is luxurious for two! All three seats are quite different but all all comfortable. I love moving from seat to seat to experience all the massage jets! Relaxation at its finest!

Great decision. My husband has had back surgery and he and I often do more than we should and after a sit in the hot tub we find the relief we are looking for. There are two seats and a lounge seat all of which have jets that will massage different areas of the body including wrist jets in one of the seats armrest which really relieve carpul tunnel, which I suffer with. It's amazing!! The Kauai model was small enough we could put it inside the house in the basement. We are older and didn't think we would use it as much if we put it outside. For us that was a good idea. It is very economical to operate. I would suggest this model for anyone who was looking for a beautiful hot tub with all the features but a smaller model, Absolutely love it!! We have had ours Kauai now for a couple of years and have absolutely no problems. If you are looking for a fantastic hot tub in a smaller package this is the hot tub for you.

Thank you for your review and recommendation. Jet location and seating configuration makes your spa experience that much more enjoyable.
Setting up your Kauai spa indoors sounds like a perfect option. Not having to consider the weather makes it easy to soak at your leisure. Enjoy! calderaspas_brand

The Kauai is a smaller version of Caldera, but don't let size fool you. It has so many jets that you will not realize you are in a smaller version. It is very easy to maintain and we could not have been happier with our choice. We put ours in the basement so that is why we went with the smaller Kauai. Have not regretted our decision.
