family hot tub
PostedJune 26, 2015
We have a family if four that use the tub. It has many "cool" features (colors/fountain,etc.). We love it!! The only negative I can say is that the nozzle heads w kids can come off easily. Overall an awesome hot tub.

broken side panels
PostedMay 11, 2015
Several cracks have appeared on side panels. Tub was winterized and unused during severe 2015 northeast winter.Warranty claim in progress.
Otherwise a nice hot tub if it actually lasts...
Response from Caldera SpasBy Peggy W. Customer ServiceMay 15, 2015
Good morning - thanks for reviewing your Tahitian model spa ownership. Yes, you folks had a very rough winter. Some outer skirting panels (cosmetic issue) took a beating and will be replaced by your authorized dealer. We are confident that the spa will perform as designed/intended for many years to come given a good basic water care routine and maintenance.

Can't get main panel off...
PostedNovember 6, 2014
We were very excited upon delivery of our spa. They told us that the owners manual is behind the control panel. We have taken screws out and still can't get the panel off. Unable to use until we can get to the manual. I tried calling the dealer and they are out of town for a ski expo until Monday. We are endlessly looking online for help...
Response from Caldera SpasBy Peggy W.Customer ServiceNovember 21, 2014

If you should still need that owner's manual, it is available to download for free at www.calderaspas.com, under the "Owners Corner" tab. Do call our toll-free number if you're still having challenges: 1-800-669-1881, ext. 8432. Any one of our Customer Service reps will be glad to assist.

Good purchase
PostedSeptember 10, 2014
As a first-time hot tub owner we have enjoyed the Tahitian hot tub year round It has been easy to maintain and ready for use whenever we desired. One recommended improvement would be to have a flat surface to step on when you first enter the tub.
Response from Caldera SpasBy VanessaCustomer ServiceSeptember 18, 2014

Nice tub overall
PostedSeptember 6, 2014
Great Hot Tub! All The Bells and Whistles and still covers all the basic needs for a therapeutic and relaxing experience.
All positive, except for problems with repeat cracking of the side panels, which have so far been covered under the cabinet warranty. Would have been a 5 out of 5 except for this issue.
Would still recommend this tub.
Response from Caldera SpasBy MarianneCustomer ServiceSeptember 22, 2014
Hello, Thank you for your email. Sorry to hear about the cracking of the side panels and that all were repaired under the warranty. If you have any more issues with your panels, please let us know right away. Glad to hear the spa gives you a therapeutic and relaxing experience. Enjoy your spa!

Great Value Many great features
PostedSeptember 6, 2014
We have been had spas for many years, owning many premium brand spas. This is our first Caldera Spa and could not be happier with the value and features of our Tahitian. The Spa is built into our deck. The blue tooth music system is great. The speakers are placed so they can be heard even with the spa jets turned on; and the motors are well insulated for sound, this is the most quite spa we've ever owned. My only complaint is concerning the Frog filter system, the water does not circulate well throughout the filter and mold developed within the lines which is very difficult to clear.

Best Idea Ever !
PostedSeptember 5, 2014
I owned an above ground swimming pool for 25 yrs. but when i built my new home I decided to go with a hot tub. Living in New England I was only able to utilize my swimming pool 3 months of the year, but having a hot tub i can enjoy it all year long. After weeks of research , i decided to go with the Caldera Tahitian model, because it fits my needs. There is more than enough room for six people and Everyone is comfortable. I can't express how much Joy this hot tub has brought our Family. It serves many purposes.....the most important being spending quality time as a Family. Every Sunday we spend time together in the hot tub sharing stories . It's Wonderful. Also, I am a Registered Nurse and my job can be very taxing. Not only does this hot tub relieve the aches and pains i often incur, but it relieves my stress. Caldera has been a Fantastic company to deal with. Anytime that I called them with an issue they resolved it without any warranty issues. A company that stands behind their product is very important to me and Caldera does just that.

Owned it two years and it has been very dependable
PostedSeptember 5, 2014
We purchased this spa and while I do not like working with our dealership the product is excellent. We did not wet test. I would definitely insist on a wet test as the lounges we were positive we wanted are to deep for us and we float right out. Would have went with a different seating configuration.
The Tahitian is reliable and with only two persons using the spa most of the time I find the water easy to manage. The temperature does not fluctuate and the jets perform as they should.

Great tub
PostedSeptember 4, 2014
Great tub for our family of six. Easy to maintain and very relaxing. Lighting adds a variety of effects to the tub. Overturning waterfall knob too far by kids resulted in loose fitting but it still works. We keep it at 99 degrees in summer and 103 in winter.

Tahitian's smaller water volume makes water care difficult
PostedSeptember 4, 2014
Note before you buy the Tahitian (only 36" deep with 360 gallons) it's lower profile and water volume make water care difficult. It dirties, clouds and foams easily with daily scrubbing of the scum off the sides. Also needs refilling frequently as water volume recedes quickly after a couple of uses. Frog system doesn't seem to work and I am constantly having to add sanitizer (and many other chemicals to keep it clean). I didn't have this problem with my last, much larger, hot tub. I really wanted a smaller spa and thought the Tahitian was a perfect fit but I was wrong and regret not buying the larger Geneva.
Finally, I purchased this spa June 30, 2014 to take advantage of Caldera's rebate $750.00 but as of today Sept 4, 2014 I have yet to receive it.

Best retirement gift ever!!
PostedSeptember 4, 2014
We purchased our hot tub about 2 years ago after my husband retired. It has been an excellent asset to us for our Staycations, allowing us to simply relax with a beer and great music of our choice. We sometimes talk....sometimes not. And that is alright!!

Money well spent
PostedSeptember 4, 2014
This spa had all the features that I was looking for - comfort, different positions, strong hydro massage, ease to take care of. The sales person did not over inflate the features when presenting to me. I'm enjoying and use all the features, and amazingly, there is rarely a day that I don't use my spa. It has been instrumental in addressing muscle issues that I have been experiencing for some years.
