Very Pleased
PostedJune 2, 2015
We've had our Vanto for a year now and love it. Use it at least once a week and really enjoy it over fall and parts of winter. So far, easy maintenance. Very pleased with our choice in spa.
Response from Caldera SpasBy Vanessa, Customer Service, June 9, 2015
Thank you for your review. I am happy to hear that you are enjoying your Caldera Vanto spa. Soaking in a soothing hot tub while it's cool outside is the best.
Wishing you many seasons of hot tub bliss.

2014 tub
PostedMay 28, 2015
We have only had our tub 1 1/2 years. The first month of ownership (Dec 2014) we had to drain the tub. All four foot jet chrome ring covers fell off. So we drained the tub, re glued them and refilled our tub. They have stayed on now. Spring 2015, noticed a panel on the outside of the tub where the lid lifter is attached is cracked. We believe that because of the unstability of the cheap lid lifter, it jerks on the lid on the opposite side that you are using to lift the hot tub lid.Contacted company we bought from at the end of March 2015. End of May we got a call that they will replace the panel(because its under warranty) but we will have to pay mileage for them to come and repair it. We live 75 miles one way from the dealer. Wow, really? Not happy with this situation and don't feel we should pay for parts that are under warranty and obviously defective. Dealer told us they had 4 of them with similar problem.
Response from Caldera SpasBy Peggy W. , Customer Service, June 10, 2015
Thank you for providing feedback. I have spoken to your dealer this afternoon. Terry was not aware of your feelings on this and wondered why you had not contacted him about it. Though the warranty does state that travel is not covered, he volunteered to waive his travel fee to come out and repair the skirt on your spa. There will be no charge to you for this service call.

Use of equipment
PostedSeptember 30, 2014
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!

Great Spa, but!
PostedSeptember 9, 2014
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!

Rest & Relaxtion
PostedSeptember 7, 2014
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!

Vanto....Excellent value
PostedSeptember 6, 2014
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!!!!

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!

One year of ownership and it is flawless!
PostedSeptember 5, 2014
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!

Thanks for submitting your review. Just as you have discovered, soaking in hot water is a great way to spend a Fall or Winter evening after a hectic day of work or buzzing around, getting ready for the holidays. Happy Hot Tubbing!

We love the Vanto!
PostedSeptember 4, 2014
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.

PostedSeptember 4, 2014
While I find the vanto very comfortable, the built in bromide and mineral system was challenging to monitor. Thought it would be a no fuss system... But after 5 months of constant checking and altering... I'm back to floating bromide tablets.
Unit holds temperature well and is very comfortable. We use the spa frequently.

Should have made this purchase sooner
PostedSeptember 4, 2014
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!

Worth every penny...
PostedSeptember 4, 2014
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!

We spend alot more time in the yard!
PostedSeptember 4, 2014
We have a small corner yard. It was hard to entertain in, once we bought the spa that all changed. We have two children they love to have their friends over. Especially when the weather is cooler. At times there has been more than 10 kids in it. The boys have gotten very creative at making games for the spa. Together we have spent hours of family time in it. I often host a moms night w my girlfriends and whine which is always a hit.
Response from Caldera SpasBy Peggy W. , Customer Service, September 9, 2014
What a great way to get more out of your living space...add a Vanto spa!! A place for the kids to let off steam during the day and then a meeting of the Moms Club at night! Great ideas. Happy Hot Tubbing!
