Our Vanto hot tub was a 20th anniversary splurge for my husband and me. We have never owned a hot tub, but were intrigued by the idea of unwinding outside together each evening - and decided this gift would be a longer-lasting alternative to a trip to Mexico, which we had considered as a gift to one another. We've been very pleased with everything about the Caldera model we chose.
The unexpected part of our purchase was how it has enhanced time with our two teenage daughters. It has been fun to see how they look to that quiet time to pop in and connect with us - or even how they pull up a stool outside of the hot tub and catch us up on their evening as we sit in the tub and relax with a drink.
The kids have enjoyed the tub on their own, as well. One night, we allowed them to host a "dive-in movie" with a small handful of friends - projecting a movie on the side of the house near the hot tub. They were pretty wrinkled by the end, but enjoyed the chilly night from their warm spot in the tub.
One accessory we added, which we would highly recommend is the Bluetooth sound system. We didn't originally order it, but after turning up external speakers to try to hear them within the tub, we quickly understood the value of the built-in speakers, which project sound right at "ear level" inside the tub. This is a better way to keep the sound down, as we wanted to be sensitive to the neighbors. My husband is pleased with the sub-woofer which enhances the sound, considering the relatively small speakers.
All-in-all, we're very happy with our purchase, and hope (expect) to continue using it as regularly as we do now!

I've had a couple of hot tubs but this one is the easiest to manage and keep in good shape. I love the filter location and the way the filter rises and falls with the water level. I have 9 grand kids and they lOVE the spa. When they get out of the tub I simply add a small amount of chlorine and the tub stays clean. What a dream this tub is.
Response from Caldera SpasBy Marianne, Customer Service, June 23, 2015

Sometimes, it takes two people to open but otherwise very easy. During cold winters energy bill will jump but increase expected.
Great all four seasons with ability to adjust temperature.
Highly recommended....
Response from Caldera SpasBy Ben, Customer Service, October 2, 2014
Hello year-round spa user! Thanks for the Vanto review! We do build the spas with goals of highest energy efficiency, and flexibility of controls with temperature and jets. So glad to hear you like it!

I love my spa, but due to my ignorance I have trouble keeping out the suds. I clean my filter and use the sanitizer and clearifier as directed, but the suds seem to grow over night. Now the last two weeks the water appears to be going green? Whats up with that. I use the other products as directed and the PH is always good, So I just don;t know. Maybe a spa water treatment class is needed.
Response from Caldera SpasBy Ben, Customer Service, September 16, 2014
Hello! Thanks for the feedback and commentary here - give yourself some credit, water chemistry can get tricky at times. Suds can build up in the spa from your laundry and the soap used to wash them, along with soaps and oils from your skin. When the water turns green, this usually means your water needs more sanitizer. Have you contacted your local dealership for advice? You can contact our customer service team at Watkins by dialing 800.669.1881 ext 8432, we are happy to help where and when we can!

Best purchase I ever made. We use our spa almost each and every day. Nothing like soaking each night to loosen tight sore muscles, We sleep better at night after using our spa. Easy to operate, empty and clean and easy to maintain chemical levels with the inline frogger cartridges. Don't wait buy one today!
Response from Caldera SpasBy Erica, The Caldera Spas Team , September 15, 2014
Thank you for the great feedback on your Vanto spa! What a fantastic way to relax after a busy day, and get your body ready for a few Zzz's. Don't wait! It's spa time :) Wishing you many more happy years with your hot tub.

We love our Caldera Vanto spa. Enough room for my teenage daughters to have friends over. It has been extremely easy to maintain with Spa Frog. I added the blue tooth wireless sound system and it made our experience even more enjoyable. Even though last winter was rough in ohio, we never really complained since we had our spa to enjoy.
Also, if you live in the Akron/Canton, I highly recommend Job Rite Spas, Awesome customer service!!!!
Response from Caldera SpasBy Peggy W. , Custmer Service, September 10, 2014
Thanks for a great review of the spa and local dealership. Yes, Job Rite does care about their customers, providing prompt, professional attention as needed. Sounds like you've provided a great home retreat that the whole family can enjoy year 'round. Happy Hot Tubbing!

Every time I step into my Caldera Vanto I am amazed how good it is. The maintenance is so simple. The water stays so clean. And I have not noticed any increase in my power bill.
This tub just seems so well built. The jets are strong and in exactly the right spot. At night the lights are just stunning. You have a very happy customer on your hands.
Response from Caldera SpasBy Erica, The Caldera Spas Team , September 15, 2014
Thank you for the fantastic review! We are always so happy to hear such excellent feedback. Our team puts great care in to the design of each spa model, and we are thrilled you are satisfied with your choice. If you have a photo of your Vanto at night we would love to see it. Based on your comments it sounds like a beautiful sight!

We have had our Caldera Spa for two and a half years and have no problems at all. I use it 3 to 4 times a week in the summer and almost daily in the winter months.I love the 4 different configurations of jets for relaxing the muscles in my back

This is our second hot tub. Our first one had a lounger and we never used it. You tend to float up! In this tub we can all sit with great jets. We sit in it every single day, all year long. Rain, snow, or sunshine! I even did my ALS ice bucket challenge in my hot tub! Our friends bought a Caldera after we bought ours since we loved ours so much.

I am very pleased with my spa. I didn't think it was a good investment at first but I loss that discussion with my wife and today I am glad she won!
Response from Caldera SpasBy Peggy W. , Customer Service, September 10, 2014
Score one for the wives! :) Yes, the Vanto is a terrific spa that provides a therapeutic soak in hot water and jets without draining the wallet. With a good water care routine in place, the Vanto will provide you with many years of enjoyment. Happy Hot Tubbing!

My husband and I love the Vanto! It is large enough to fit 4-7adults comfortably and leaves enough room to access jet areas for a completely relaxing experience. The controls for jet speed and temperature are easy to use and reach from the cool down seat. The lighting and waterfall options are a nice feature but not necessary to enjoy this spa.
Response from Caldera SpasBy Ben, Customer Service, September 11, 2014
Hi there, very excited to hear how much you enjoy your Vanto spa! The controls should be easy, so you can relax while soaking in your tub!

Best purchase of my life. I wish I just would have pulled the trigger and bought a quality hot tub like this ten years ago, but I thought it was too much of a hassle to maintain. Man, was I wrong. Its so ridiculously easy. And to think of the good times I let slip by by not buying this earlier... Oh well, it mine now!
Response from Caldera SpasBy Peggy W., Customer Service, September 9, 2014
Great review! Most who shop and compare come to the same conclusions as you have: 1)Easy to operate; 2)Worth every penny. Here's to many years of hot water relaxation and jetted therapies in your Vanto spa!

I could not be happier with my Spa. It works exactly as promised. We use it daily, it's easy to maintain, and inexpensive to operate. The Spa Frog mineral system is great. It took me a little time getting the water balanced but the directions are spot on. I'm using factory setting & recommendations and it works great. Thank you Caldera for building a great product.
