Love this spa!
PostedJuly 20, 2015
We have had our spa for 3+ years and love it! It is very easy to maintain, works wonderfully, and has easily met our expectations. The multiple jets with different intensity selections makes for a very relaxing experience. We would buy this spa again in a "flash!"

This is a decent spa I have owned for 4 years. This fall the pump went out and neither Caldera or my local dealer were very helpful. $800 later, we have a new pump. I do like the seats and head rests. Water care is fairly simple and the lighting is nice. For the price, it is a decent model, but I wouldn't depend on it be a "long-life" spa.

Great Hot Tub
PostedJuly 13, 2015
This is my second Caldera Spa I have owned; very easy to care for and very relaxing. The main reason I purchased the Caldera Spa the second time was because the experience I had with the first. I had a (5) year warranty which was about (6) months from expiring when I ran into some problems: I had the owner of Trade Winds Spa stop out to my house to inspect the hot tub and within (3) weeks they brought me out a new Hot Tub no charge to me. You have to love a company that stands behind their product!

First year with Marino from Caldera
PostedJuly 13, 2015
I was skeptical that we would really use a hot tub for the long haul, but one year into hot tub ownership, we are regularly using it 3-4 times per week. Even in the summer, we have found that by putting the water temp down to 97 or 95 F you can enjoy a nice long soak on all but the hottest evenings.
Spa maintenance has been a breeze, and since we screened in our spa area, even filter cleaning is simple.
I would definitely recommend this spa to anyone looking to purchase a hot tub.
Response from Caldera SpasBy Jaclyn Customer ServiceJuly 15, 2015
Thanks for taking the time to review your Caldera Marino model spa, Bruce. I'm thrilled to read how often the tub is used, and that you've found a way to enjoy a soak regardless of season. May you have many more years of hot tub relaxation.

Nice tub but not reliable
PostedJuly 13, 2015
I did a lot of research before buying s tub. My top priority was reliability. This tub needed service 5 times in the first 2 years. Each time some part had to be replaced.

Love it
PostedJuly 8, 2015
My husband and I love our Caldera Marino Spa, and so does our three children. Ages 5,5, and 11. We use it 1-2x per week in the summer and 3-4x per week in the winter. It's been easy to keep up with, and I haven't noticed any changes to our electric bill. We never get into it and wished we hadn't. It's always a great idea!!!

Great Spa
PostedJuly 6, 2015
Our spa is great! We love using it in just about all four seasons! The only thing I don't like is the frog system. Ever since we bought it in 2014, we have not been able to use the frog. We have to use a bromine float.

We just love this model and with the cold winters in Michigan was worried about energy cost but was very minimal. The different seats offer different areas of jets from upper back lower back feet and full body great investment all around 5 stars.

Marino Spa
PostedJune 30, 2015
We live in Sterling Alaska and although we do not use the Marino Spa in the winter we do the rest of the year. It was our first new spa in 20 years and enjoy the improvements. There seems to be ample room and like the ability to control the jets.
Easy to operate once you read the directions. We would recommend to anyone in the market for a medium sized spa.

Peaceful Bliss all year long
PostedJune 30, 2015
User submitted photo
I did not realize when we bought the hot tub that we would be using it ALL YEAR LONG. When our family comes to visit (which is often) they love to play in the spa with the grandchildren and little ones. In the evening time, after the kids go to bed, the adult get to enjoy some peaceful "spa time". We live way out in the middle of the woods and it is really peaceful and relaxing. In the summertime, the kids move from the swimming pool to the spa and back again. It was a great investment of money, and well worth the time spent to make a beautiful deck to go with it. We can now spend perfect days off and not feel like we need to travel away from home to enjoy. Thank you. Jill and Chip Palmer, Palmer Acres

We really are enjoying our Marino Hot Tub. We love the six different seats with different jets. We usually rotate from seat to seat a couple times through to experience the different jet patterns. The lights are fun and the grandkids love the waterfall! So happy to finally have a hot tub!

Well Worth The Investment
PostedJune 29, 2015
This particular model with the lounger and 32 jets helps pinpoint all the different areas of the body that require pain relief. Only had it since March 2015 , but I could not be without it. When the aches and pains of everyday life ... I know that relief is waiting for me at home.Struggled for awhile trying to balance out the chemicals ... but finally got it figured out.

We installed our spa and instantly we created a totally new outdoor oasis. To sit in the morning or a late evening under the moon it has been wonderful. The spa has several jet setting for individual comfort, the temp stays constant, and easy to clean and drain as required. We are glad we bought this product.

Wonderful upgrade from my old hot tub
PostedJune 23, 2015
My old hot tub was a Jacuzzi and it served me well, but my Marino puts it to shame! More jets, more power, and a beautiful finish. I like the Frog in line chemical system because we do not have keep pushing a floating bromine dispenser out of the way. Maintaining the water chemistry is pretty easy. Also, I love the lights! I picked the pearl finish and it reflects the light wonderfully. If I want to change the color of my hot tub, I can just pick another favorite color! We are very happy with our purchase over a year later.
Response from Caldera SpasBy VanessaCustomer ServiceJune 24, 2015
The Caldera Frog System is pretty easy to use. I am happy to hear that you find it convenient and useful. The lights and hot tub ascetics do add to your spa therapy, glad to know that you are enjoying it.

We wish you many more year of hot tub bliss.
