Very glad we bought it!
PostedDecember 18, 2022
We were going to include a Spa Feature in our new pool, but decided to buy a “store bought” one instead on the advice of our pool builder. It turned out to be a wise decision because it is more comfortable and convenient than a gunite one. Because we did not want to have continually climb up and in the spa, we had a hole excavated and lowered the spa in the ground for easier access. It works very well.

High quality experience once you learn all the jets
PostedDecember 1, 2022
I got the salt water Niagara and its a beast. They say it can hold 7, but realistically its 4. The experience is excellent in the sense that you don't smell chlorine or chemicals while you are in it, nor do you smell like any chemicals after you get out. So that's a step up in the hot tub world for sure. It should be noted that if you have psoriasis or eczema that a salt water experience is the way to go...but there is no joy if you have active open sores on your body.
The negatives are livable: There is a lack of user training for controlling the jets and what they show you in the user manual is useless. There are so many jet controls that are dependent on the position of other jet controls and as I said, its a pain to learn them. Lastly - 2 jets physically broke off/broke out of the jet position. Dunno if thats a factory build issue or an issue that happened during transportation.

Excellent First Hot Tub
PostedOctober 4, 2022
This was our first hot tub purchase and we are very happy with our decision. We researched many brands / options, along with reading all of the reviews. This is a great manufacturer and the dealer was excellent to work with. We look for quality and service when making larger purchases. The ability to run a salt or traditional cholorine system was an important feature.

Love the jets. We are relaxed and at peace when we're in the pool. We also appreciate having the water testing service from our dealer. My problems with it are that we have needed to drain and refill at about 2 month intervals. It was very expensive to buy, and it has reeked havoc with my skin.

Loving It!!
PostedJune 7, 2022
We’ve had our Caldera Niagara for about 3-4 months and we’ve been very pleased. Salt water system seems to operate great once we got it dialed in from our use… we love the jets and corner seat combinations. It’s great to move around and get the enjoyment/relaxation from the jets massaging in different areas.

Great Tub
PostedJune 7, 2022
This is the second spa we have purchased. The first one was from a brand that I will not mention. It lasted only five year. Had problems with it after 1 year. The caldera spa has been perfect. No issues. The salt water system is easy to take care of. Love it

Great hot tub but we have had some issues
PostedJune 3, 2022
I am a long time hot tub owner and this my first salt water system. I like the hot tub but have had some problems. The first problem is that one of the knobs that controls the jets shot off. I had to pay for a service call to repair it. They had to come out twice and said that the valves still may leak a little. The second issue I am still having is that the jets fluctuate in power occasionally. The technician said that it is a design flaw with the water flow. It drives my wife crazy when we are trying to relax and the jets start going hard and soft on their own. The final complaint I have is the salt water canisters that last up to 4 months each. Well, mine haven't lasted more than 3 months and at over a hundred bucks a pop, the maintenance cost just for the salt canisters is over $400 a year. Knowing all of the issues, I am not sure we would purchase the same hot tub. It is an expensive hot tub and it is expensive to maintain. All that being said, it is still a nice hot tub overall.

Thank you for reaching out with your review. I'm sorry to hear that you've had some troubles with your spa so far.
There are some different reasons that you may go through the salt cartridge faster than expected. I'll be reaching out to you via email to see if we can get to the bottom of that.
Our customer care team is always willing to answer any questions or concerns you might have.
Happy Hot Tubbing!

Fabulous!!!!
PostedJune 2, 2022
Purchased after back, shoulder and knee surgery! The entire family loves it, we live in Florida and use just about every day, very relaxing.
The Caldera Niagara fresh water system, waterfall, lights and stereo BEST PURCHASE EVER!
*it’s a no fuss tub easy to take care of, easy to work controls, it actually takes care of itself*
Grandkids like it better than their pool, we do too!

Best Purchase Ever
PostedJune 1, 2022
We used our hot tub regularly in the Winter with the snow coming down and now in the Spring after long work days and long bike rides. It is very relaxing and the jets are just what we need after a hard workout. I had a back issue in February and floating in the hot water did wonders! It is beautiful and functional. It's very easy to care for. This is the best purchase in the last few years!

First hot tub, I love it
PostedMay 31, 2022
Hot tub took about a year to get due to covid, but I absolutely love it. My two kids and I get in it all the time and it gives us a place to relax, unwind and talk. The maintenance on this hot tub is awesome there is hardly any maintenance once it is set up. I got one with the salt water system and would highly recommend it. I love all the different features and options it has as well.

Love our Caldera Spa hot tub!
PostedMay 31, 2022
After extensive research, we purchased our hot tub in the fall of 2021. We absolutely LOVE it and feel we made the right decision to go with this 7-person hot tub. We use it at least twice per week, alternating from station to station. It is so relaxing -- we use it primarily after work even now in the summer (Texas). We drop the temperature and it's perfect. We had a contractor install a gazebo over it -- shield us from the sun. Great buy!

LOVE our hot tub
PostedMay 31, 2022
When I was told I had arthritis, It was suggested that I purchase a hot tub for those miserable days of pain. I was reluctant as I heard the best day of your life is when you purchase a hot tub, only to find it 5 years later in a pile heap in the dump. We love our hot tub. Our customer service right off the bat was great. At first, we had some issues trying to regulate the water but it was more learning than anything. We have neighbors over and we use it all the time. The Caldera is top of the line and worth every penny. The features are exquisite. We are really happy with our purchase.

Happy with purchase
PostedMay 31, 2022
Bought our spa in august and most days we use it twice a day. It took me a while to learn how to get the water perfect and keep it perfect. I bought this blind without ever seeing it in person and only negative is the two seats with the neck jets. I’m 6’5 so I have to essentially lay down with legs extended to use them and it’s not super comfortable sitting using calf and wrist jets with head rest in the middle of my upper back. Thankfully the other 5 seats work great for me. Overall, we are super happy with the purchase. Electric bill was quite a bit higher than expected too. I’d recommend this tub to anyone looking!

Loving every soaking minute…
PostedMay 31, 2022
We purchased this hot tub to complete our pool area renovation. Since it was during COVID-19 time, there was a delay…but when it arrived it was a perfect addition to our oasis.
The jets are amazing and the waterfall feature just adds that perfect finishing touch.
Once you get the salt system perfectly set there is very little maintenance that needs to be done.
We use this at a minimum of 2-3 times a week. If/when something happens to this tub we will definitely be getting another similar.

Love the Hot Tub!
PostedMay 31, 2022
We are so happy with our purchase of the Caldera Niagra hot tub. It is the perfect size for us and very comfortable in every seat. The lights and music are great. We use it year round and one of my favorite times is relaxing in the hot tub after a long day on the snowmobile trails. Highly recommended!
