I've had my Cal Spas hot tub for about five years. The work they did was fine but there were issues with getting it delivered. We bought it in the Twin Cities area, Metropolitan Minneapolis where we live, and we had it delivered 140 miles away. We ordered it in the fall and the model that we purchased was a floor model because they gave us a great deal on it. The issue that we had is that it had water in it when it was on the floor of the showroom. And in the interim of getting it taken off the showroom floor, drained, and delivered to Northwestern Wisconsin, it was early November so it froze.
I told their rep that maybe we should be putting antifreeze on the tub, but he said no and that it would be fine. So we had it installed, had an electrician come out, filled it up with water, and turned it on, then water started spraying everywhere. We had to go through several conversations and had the owner of the place call us. And my wife told him that we asked about putting insulation on the tub before since it was going to be delivered in November. He admitted that we had asked that specific question and eventually, we got a new tub and they made it right.
The whole process took three weeks. It was installed by the time we told them it had to be installed. We love our new tub and since the one that we’ve had the bad experience with, we bought a new one. And the second time, we bought the biggest non-swim spa that they have and they installed that last summer. It’s been awesome and they did everything correctly. We have a Master Spas at home that we like, but it’s old. And when that one goes in the next couple of years, we will probably buy another Cal Spas, because we like the spas. They seem to be well built and if something goes wrong, as long as they make it right at the end of the day, that’s all that matters.

Everything seems to be really good with Cal Spas. They are one of the better quality hot tubs. We bought ours at the Minnesota State Fair, and the people there who sold it were very good and helpful. However, we were told that it would be there four or five days, but we ended up waiting 20 days when they installed it. But, other than that, all was good. Also, a pipe froze this winter and they came out and took care of it. They got it out and replaced what they needed to replace, and they were very good about it. We had a tub prior to it before. Although, this one is a lot nicer and bigger. Also, both Brian and I have health issues. He has a really bad knee, and I had back surgery three years ago. There are times when we are hurting really bad, and we go sit in it and it helps. We had a really good deal on the hot tub. And we enjoy it.

I've got a friend who started his own hot tub dealership, and I went with Cal Spas because that is what he is selling. He also said it is a good product. My friend installed it and it went smooth. They showed up when they said they would and they got it taken care of pretty easily. It's definitely a stress reliever for my family, especially my wife. Cal Spas works well and I would recommend it.

Cal Spas was great, and I love the spa. We've had Doughboys for years and when we decided to get another spa, we went to Secard and Cal Spas had a sale at that time. Their sales rep explained the pros and cons of the spa and what he would buy if he was buying another one. The installers were very nice. They did a good job and were very thorough. They made sure we understood everything before they left and did a good job placing it and taking the old one away. The spa is just a great thing for the desert because you can cool down. And when you're achy, you could get up and get the kinks out. It's nice, and I’m enjoying it immensely.

Cal Spas has been in Sacramento for many years. I went out to a fair and talked to a couple of vendors out there and was really impressed with their knowledge and where they were located. Also, their showroom was nice. I just bought my spa in August. It seats five people. It’s a package deal where I got the steps, the cover and everything for about $3900. I got a good deal and they told me who to contact for financing and the financing has been good.
I was not impressed with the delivery at all though and the installation was awful. We were scheduled for 7:30 in the morning and they showed up at 6:30 on a weekday. We were still in bed and we had to jump up. Also, they had asked me to send in the measurements of my backyards and patio, which I did. But the tub was still too big, so we had to cut a part of my roof to get it there and the roof still hasn’t been fixed. But the tub is a really good product. I use it for about four times a week and it makes a big difference. I have somebody that comes every week to put the chemicals in and it has worked just fine as I didn’t wanna deal with chemicals. I sell insurance and work a lot of hours, so it’s nice that I have somebody that just comes once a week and test everything out for me.

We’ve been looking for a spa for some time through the vendor, and they began carrying Cal Spas. I was very happy with the people who sold us the spa. They were very knowledgeable. Then installing the spa went smoothly. The installers came when they said they were going to and installed it. It was a good experience. It's a little smaller than our older one, but we’re happy with it so far. We are enjoying it. We’ve already had a problem with it where we had to have them come out and fix it. One of the jets was broken when it was installed. And so, it wouldn’t work when we started using it. But I am hoping it’s just a one-off.
The only other thing that's kind of a negative, we had speakers installed in it, and where the Wi-Fi antennae is located makes it very difficult to connect to so it’s spotty. You can’t just go and turn on the speaker. You have to go and stand here and there and cross your fingers. We may end up having to take out the antennae and put it in a different location. But overall experience is good. Seems like a great spa. We haven’t had it a long time but we’re happy with it so far.

We bought a smaller spa from Cal Spas, but it has the features of the larger ones. It was put in satisfactorily and it fits well in the space that we wanted to put it. The quality of the tub appears good and it has super nice features. It has been less than a year since we bought the tub and I'm gonna call Cal Spas only for very minor things before the year is up. I have recommended Cal Spas to other people.

Cal Spas is refusing to warrant the spa claiming chemical abuse after reviewing a video I sent to them showing the caulking and plumbing coming apart. Model: Bel Air 851B, serial: 16S-005856, purchase date: 5-23-16, delivery date: 7-30-16. Numerous problem dates. Had to get a police detective to get the spa because the dealer went to jail and abandoned his business. Cal Spas would not help. Within 2 weeks the jets were blowing out, went back and forth with Cal Spas (Robert ** and Karen **) to get those replaced for 7 months. Started noticing white flakes in the water within the 1st year, called a Cal Spas dealer in Utah who refused to help and said it was hard water. Did a test to confirm it was not biofilm. Several filters broke from the bottom and ended up in the water. Reported that to the parts department, no response to several emails.
Spa cabinet is deteriorating and warping. Reported that to the Utah dealer and Cal Spas in October 2017. Also reported the spa had been tripping the breaker since the summer intermittently. Utah dealer refused to repair the issue as I was too far from his store (75 miles). Spoke to Cal Spas warranty department (Marfelia **) who agreed to let me find someone else willing to do the repair. The only closest company, Brady's (60 miles away) agreed. They replaced the control box and just put screws in the panels. Cal Spas did offer to replace the panels under warranty, but was going to charge me $114 to ship them, which I still dispute because they are covered under warranty. They also charged me to ship the control box, plus I had to pay the trip charge for the repairs, even though labor is covered under the warranty.
The repair did not fix the tripping issue and is now a daily occurrence, which they tried to blame on the power company at first, then the electrical work (which I had checked) and now they say maybe a new pump would help (at my expense, of course)...fact is, they have no idea what is causing this and I believe it is a stalling tactic until the warranty expires. Two weeks ago I did a water change. While cleaning the interior shell, I discovered that the sealant around ALL of the jets and the filter housing is coming off in chunks and has the consistency of putty, yet very sticky like tree sap. I tried to clean it off the best I could, but even touching it causes it to fall off. I filled the tub so it wouldn't freeze and it tripped the breaker 3 times during start-up. So, I took off the access panel to look inside for a leak.
At that time I noticed all of the plumbing is full of this sealant and then suspected that was the cause of the "white flakes" I had been seeing for the last year. I talked to Brady's and Cal Spas and also sent them both a video of the issue. I was advised to do a super chlorinated flush, even though I told them I just changed the water, the stuff will not come off my shell (let alone the pipes because it is too sticky) and that the sealant is not causing the breaker to trip (even though I was told by Brady's it could). Cal Spas asked for a photo of my pillows (which have some wear after almost 2 years-warrantied for 90 days) and now claim chemical abuse as the reason to not honor the warranty to fix the issue estimated at more than the cost of a new tub.
They claim that, although I am using the right chemicals, they believe I may have used too much and that caused the plumbing to fall apart, yet they advised me 2 days prior to do a super chlorination (which I did not do). If my supposed "high use" of chemicals would cause this, why wouldn't a super chlorination? The fact is, my water is always balanced and checked weekly or before I go in (1-2 times a week). I am very meticulous about the chemistry. I believe they are claiming this to intentionally void the warranty. I offered a water sample, but that does not stop them from claiming it could have happened "any time" within the time I have owned it. I believe Cal Spas is responsible for the manufacturing ERRORS of this tub that are causing it to now fall apart.
I issued a complaint against them and their response was, of course, still chemical abuse and they wanted me to provide a chemical analysis of the "white powder" (they said) that is floating in the water. Which is crazy because that "white powder" they are referring to is THEIR sealant and THEY should know what it is made of. And, now I'm curious what it is made of, too. Perhaps it is a hazardous substance that is putting my family's health at risk from being in the tub. But, as you see, yet again they are avoiding the issue and laying the responsibility on me, the consumer, to avoid warranting this hot tub. I have a video showing exactly what is happening because it is difficult to explain in writing. It can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjFWGDbZUvA&t=1s.

I am very satisfied with my decision to purchase a swim spa from Cal Spas. I got one for medical reasons and I've had it for about nine months now. Everything went smoothly with the installation. Since it's a swim spa, the area wasn't big enough so I had to dig out some dirt and had someone to put cement on there. Then when that was all done, the hot spa came. The installers had to lift it over with a crane, bring it down and set it right. The other guy was there guiding it to make sure nothing happens. They also had an electric guy over at the same time and they set all the electric up to 240 then hooked everything up.
Since I was new to having a spa, I went down to Cal Spas a couple of times to clarify some things I wasn't sure of. I was a little confused how things work like with the pH and sanitizing. Every time I would do what I read or what I used to put in there, it was still showing a little different than what it should be. Also sometimes, the water gets a little cloudy that I am wanting to shock it. Still, the spa is therapy for me and it relieves the pain in my legs that I'm having.

When I started looking for a spa, I did my searching around online. I went to the dealership that had Cal Spas and I liked the price. When I bought the spa last year, they came and just dropped it off. I thought that they were actually gonna give me a tutorial or explain it, but no. And that was an issue. I was reading over the manual and I wasn’t really getting it. I had to call the place because there were a lot of things I wasn’t sure I was doing the right way. I called the number and they were trying to explain, but it’s harder when they're not there showing you. For that, I did not have a good experience. But they told me the products that came with it and that I needed to put one in the water. As far as filling up, I wasn’t sure if I was doing it right because you gotta fill up through the filter where the filtration system is. And I was a little confused as to whether I had to take off some filter or fill it up with the filter on.
Also, I haven’t used the spa that much. When I used it for a little bit, my electricity bill went up super high. It was a $200 difference and I don’t think it was supposed to be that much. I know other people who have spas and they say that it shouldn’t be that much as well. So I disconnected it. But I am planning on using it again in the summer because at least with us, our power bill comes every two months. I wanted to make sure that that was the issue or it was something else.

Cal Spas' rep was good and very knowledgeable. The installation was a piece of cake. However, there was a little bit of issue about the rep estimating the electrical cost and then referring me to an electrical contractor who had a different number in mind. The reps need to be really trained on how much that costs.

I had Cal Spas prior to the one I have now. The company is a bigger name and I could reach out if something was to go wrong with my spa. The salespeople were great but after you get the spa then you almost didn't matter. I had gone in because I was having a few issues. I was making sure that the chemicals were right and what they sold me versus what I was being kind of told. It was a very short conversation. It was almost like, at that point, just go to the pool/spa place where you get your chemicals and talk with them. The installers were phenomenal though. They were a very quality crew. The spa is great and we’re in it almost every night. It helps me sleep better. I'll probably end up with another Cal Spas.

My husband had back surgery so he had been wanting a hot tub for quite some time. He is 6'4" and Cal Spas' hot tub's depth and amount of seating made us attracted to it and go with it. When it was installed, the experience was easy and wonderful. We have the tub for six months now and it's relaxing. My little one likes to think it’s a pool and jumps in it.

Holly, Thank you for letting us know that you are enjoying your spa. It is great therapy someone with a sore back and for those little ones that just want to have fun too. We appreciate your business. Best Regards,

We drive by Cal Spas' store every day. When we went to their store, it was nice. We could bring water and they would test it for us. They would also give us advice on how to treat the water and on different things to manipulate it. We got a five-seater hot tub from them which was their best seller. It's got four seats on one side and the lay-down tub when you come in the entrance. We also got a gazebo cover that made it a good deal. However, the way the salesperson pitched the hot tub to us wasn’t exactly what she said, but I’m not sure if she knew what she was talking about. When one half of the spa has the jets going, the other half won't. I looked into it and that's just the way it's supposed to be. If I knew it was like that, I would’ve purchased a bigger, more expensive one.
The third-party installer did an okay job, but I had to go through and tighten a lot of the bolts in the gazebo and fix a lot of things, although this was just basic repair. And then when they put the actual hot tub in, the drain was unplugged. I should have checked it because as I was filling it, it was just draining everywhere. I call my fault on that, but they should’ve checked it before I started filling it up.
The tub also had a couple of problems. After I plugged the drain back, there was another leak somewhere inside it. So, a technician came and had to fix that. Then there was another issue with the tub and I had to leave for a few weeks, and the good thing was the techs came out right away. Also, it was no cost on our end for fixing it since these were all covered under warranty. But we've had the hot tub for nine months now and over time, we've realized that it was just a bad purchase and we shouldn't have done it. We should've invested 7,000 into something else.

We wanted a swim spa and we checked out different ones, and they were over $30,000. Since there's just the two of us, so we don’t need a bunch of bells and whistles. So, we decided that swim spa would work for us. The installers came and hooked up everything. And they didn’t have a part of the stairs so they took that away and then I went back down and picked it up down in Sacramento, just about an hour and 15 minutes away from here. Our swim spa got 1300 gallons of water in it and it's got two chairs type that do different things where you’re sitting in a recliner thing. And then on the side, it’s got single jets where if you wanna have a bunch of people that could all be doing something. Or you could just do the swim thing, which my wife has done a couple times and she enjoys it.
So far, the spa is working good. However, we only got to enjoy it for a few months before winter came. And then when we got them two $220 bills back-to-back, we said, “Okay. We’re gonna have to shut her down.” So, we haven’t enjoyed it for four months now. It’s just sitting there. It’s just too expensive to run during the winter which I didn’t know about. If we would’ve known about that, maybe I might not have gotten it. We've had our Cal Spas for almost a year now and I have referred my neighbors and they went and bought a spa the next week we bought ours.

I’m 61 years old and I’m disabled. My husband is also disabled so his knees are really bad. He has always wanted a spa, so I bought the Cal Spas for him for Father’s Day. We installed it ourselves. We just had them put it on the patio where it was gonna go and we just hooked it up. My husband is retired from maintenance he provided for the San Benito County so he knows codes. We enjoyed using the spa. However, it was too cold in the wintertime even though it was a warm spa. We live in the high desert and we get a breeze so we’re gonna put a wall or something up so that we don’t get a breeze.
I noticed that the paint on the steps was not very sturdy. One night, I was getting out and I had my one foot on the first step and I had a hold of the rail. I was pulling over the top and when I stuck my left foot, the other foot, on the step, it slipped right out from under me. My hand slipped like if I was hanging on to something wet and slipped, so I went completely down. I landed with my right leg backward and my back on the steps. So I had a huge bruise from sliding down the step on my back and I had bruising on my foot. I went to the hospital to be x-rayed and they didn’t see any broken bones, but they were very surprised because I had looked like I had broken my foot. I was in a lot of pain.
I fell about four months after I got it and I haven’t been in it since. My husband put some carpeting on the steps so that it’s no longer slippery. But we still need to figure out something to put on the handrails to make them not slip when wet. I’m afraid to get in the spa because of the steps. The steps didn’t come with a warning. Cal Spas should have warned me.

We've had our hot tub from Cal Spas for about six months now and we love it. However, my experience with the sales guy was a little jaded. But since I'm in sales myself, I understand being rushed. Cal Spas was busy at that time as there were a lot of people on the showroom floor and they had a lot of orders. The installation also didn’t go as well as I thought it would be. The salesperson did the measurement for the installation and I was asked for a certain amount of an access to my backyard to pour a slab. But then when their team came out, they needed more than what they said. A slab got poured the whole alleyway and then they asked for a certain amount of access to my fence. I called Cal Spas and they worked with me, but they didn’t really want to hear about it. So I paid an extra $150 to my contractor who was pouring the slab to redo my whole fence and take out the additional three and a half feet.
Also, the quality of the hot tub is a little below what I thought it would be in regards to the paneling on the side where the motor is. It’s starting to deteriorate a lot faster. In addition to that, the buckles have already broken for the top that is heavy. But, we’re enjoying the spa. The kids love the low hill type of fountain. The hot tub is not getting as much of the action though because we're on a high desert and we have a lot of winds.

We are sorry to hear you had some issues prior to the delivery with the sales person. It sounds like you got it ironed out. Please contact Secard to take care of any issues you are experiencing with your cabinet. You know you have a 5 year warranty on your spa and we do stand behind that for all your needs.

My hot tub had gotten damaged and my son-in-law told me that everybody told him that they make better ones at Home Depot. So, I got online and I ordered a Cal Spas hot tub. And it’s been bad. They first brought the first one in the summertime and it was used. The guy who brought it up wouldn’t even back into the yard and it’s a whole big safe here. And I gave him permission. They got stuck up. I had to get a bunch of people in, and they carried it and got it up on here. The guy helped them, he knows nothing was dropped, and when they set it up, water was pouring out and you could smell nothing but pure chlorine.
My first hot tub from another provider was way better. It was sealed completely around. Water didn’t get in it, underneath it, and into the speakers. And the wind didn’t blow water underneath it either. With Cal Spas, one whole set is not even sealed and I kept trying to tell them. I’d talked to one lady from Cal Spas and she said, “Well, they’re made that way.” Anybody who’s got common sense knows that a hot tub has to sit down on what I call a cage. It has to sit completely on that and didn’t seal around it. It keeps the cold air out from under there. And I’ve tried to tell her that the gap is so big, that that ice cold wind goes straight up and under that hot tub, and the heater does not keep off at all on freezing or cold nights.
I have given them a year to do right. I ordered the tub from homedepot.com and not from CalSpas.com. So, when I order it from Home Depot, Home Depot should be the one taking care of me and not tell me to call this one or that one. And nothing gets done, and I’m still sitting here with this messed up hot tub with speakers that go in and out now and sometimes completely off because they’re destroyed by the winter.

The sales reps of Cal Spas didn’t really pressure and gave us plenty of time to think about it. And we got a great deal. And when they said it would be here in four to six weeks, it was. The people that came in installed our Cal Spas tub quick and easy after we had the electricians come out. They were very helpful in showing us how to keep it clean and where to put the filters and chemicals. It’s easy to clean the filters with chemicals. The model we got fits the area we needed to put it in.
But for some reason the Cal Spa doesn’t wanna hold temperature quite as well when it’s on the economy mode. I know my Sundance Spa actually held better. For some reason the temperature drops a lot faster when I wanna heat it up to go into the spa. But other than that it’s fine. They are responsive and everything else works very well and it’s comfortable. It’s wonderful especially when your body’s a little bit sore and tired and you go on in and it’s very restful. The jets are really well for massage or relaxation. And it’s just very enjoyable to go outside and look at the stars. We love it and we’re very satisfied. Their prices are very comparable and we have good customer satisfaction.

We bought a Cal Spas for my son. He has cerebral palsy and he needs it for his exercises. It took about two weeks to get there. We placed it halfway in-ground and had the backyard redone. They had dropped it in and it broke one of the panels but they replaced it within three weeks. The only bad thing about it is they told me it would take six weeks but they already had the panel there. They just had other things to do. I had to go pick it up and put it on myself because I don't want to wait. But aside from that everything's good. The tub works and so far my son loves being in it. And if we need someone we’ll go to the place we bought it at. The guy we worked with was Greg and he’s been good.

I've been using my 5-517-PPZ6218 model from Cal Spas for six months now. It has a water feature. And it came with stairs and a cover. I shopped around for price and quality and I thought Cal Spas was the best one. They did a good job installing it. It was down the hill and then they got it up into the deck. They were very well prepared for that and got it done. Since the installation, it makes my spouse's pains feel better and eases life for her. I would tell my friends it's the best quality for the money. And they've all been a very good team for us, as well.

Cal Spas had high marks in their reviews and I liked their size options. They were the only spa and hot tub provider that had a 78’’ x 84’’ spa and that also had a lounge. I bought a spa from them in July or August last year and it was the Hawaiian 240-volt model. I knew what I wanted going in. My interaction with the reps was okay and it was what I was expecting. They were typical salesmen. I told them what I wanted, then they gave me the price and said that the spa I wanted was on sale. But since I live in snow, it would have been nice, in buying the spa from the get-go, to have them explain and for me to know about getting a heavier duty spa cover because I bought one after-market later. Cal Spas delivered the spa and put it down where I wanted it outside, then I hired an electrician to do all the wiring. Since the installation of the spa, I have liked and enjoyed it. It’s definitely great to have a spa in the backyard and I’d recommend Cal Spas.

We ordered it with not really knowing where we were going to put it. And they wanted me to have the electrician put the electric work in first. And by the time we got around figuring out where to put it we ended up having to have it delivered first so it was kind of a big mess.
All they did was put it in the spot. They didn’t hook up the electric or anything. They told me they have electrician that I can hire. But they do not have an electrician available. It was a biggest mistake I ever made. I wish I never bought the spa. I hate the fact that I can’t stay in the water. They tried to help me with lap weight to hold me down and I couldn’t.

I bought a Cal Spa last August. I already owned a hot tub at the time and when Cal Spas' installers set my new tub in, I had my old tub moved out and I gave it to a friend. However, I didn't get the response I would have liked from the guy who sold it to me. After they got my money and set the tub up, that guy just shoved me off. I wanted him to be present to help me learn things about the tub. I have had to learn those things myself. That makes me believe that if something goes wrong with my hot tub that I'm going to be pulling teeth to get service after the sale. So I wouldn't recommend Cal Spas.
While my older tub of 10 years was first class and it would probably run longer than my new Cal Spa, I got the new one because it was bigger. My new hot tub is 1,500 gallons. Though I've drained it and it's sitting empty right now, I'm going to be filling it back up in one week and it's going to be making my summer days a lot better. Overall, I'm happy with the product, but the service wasn't that good.

I was buying chemicals from Cal Spas for my old hot tub, which is also a Cal Spas. It was with the house that I bought a little over a year ago. This summer, we traded that tub in on a hot tub from Cal Spas. The purchase of the new one was very easy and quick. The guy who came out and installed the new hot tub was nice. The hot tub works, however, I am having a little bit of a problem with is that the cover was installed on one side, and now it rubs against the house. My old one does not, so I am going to have to call them to come out and fix that.
Also, some of the nozzles are rusting. And I went into Cal Spas and the rep basically told me it was my fault for using chlorine and said to bring some of the heads in. When I bought it, he said chlorine was fine because we were using chlorine in the other one instead of bromine. Also, I literally bought chlorine when I bought the hot tub and they gave me a free bottle of chlorine, too.
So, I'm was like sitting there going, "All right. This is a $10,000 hot tub that I have had for less than a year and you're trying to tell you don't want to fix the problem." I'm like, "I would like someone at my house looking at it. I don't want to start ripping my hot tub apart and bringing parts to this guy." And this is like their main sales guy over at their particular Cal Spas I bought it from. So, now that I own the hot tub, and the way I've been treated since I've owned it, and the Cal Spas that I bought it from, I'd probably never buy another one. The initial experience has been great, but that is not why I buy anything.

My parents had Cal Spas growing up. I’ve been familiar with them for 20 years but this is our first unit. We purchased it at the Home and Garden show in Minneapolis. We were going to do the initial preview and bought it on site. The salesman was knowledgeable and gave us some good advice. Both my wife and I interacted with hot tubs our whole lives and we’d never even thought that advice was helpful. The installation was great, too. The installers came a week ahead of schedule both on the day of delivery and on the day of logistics. We were timing it up with a project so it required some additional maneuvering to make everything work and they were very accommodating to that project schedule.
We use the tub almost every day and we saved a lot of water because we don’t use the big bathtub up in the master bathroom anymore. Also, Cal Spas is receptive and attentive. We ordered the wrong filters online but they caught that before shipping and were able to get the right ones delivered. The correct filters were incrementally more expensive but they just offered them at the set price that we ordered.

We wanted a good model for our hot tub. We're from a large family and we wanted people to fit in it.

We had to take a fence down out of the way. too, and they were patient with that.
However, I was slightly disappointed with the guy that sold the hot tub to us. Originally, he was going to show me how to do the wirings. But when it came time to do it, he didn't return my call.

We’ve known the name Cal Spas for years. I’ve owned about five Cal Spas but we have always bought secondhand units until this one. We bought it over in Victorville and the experience was wonderful.

Two guys rolled up with a flatbed and a jacuzzi and they got the thing out on its side. They strapped up this big, wheeled cart, rolled it around and it was in.
So far, everything is good with my experience with Cal Spas. However, they should make the price of the top that goes to the jacuzzi standard and not $299 extra dollars once you spend 5 grand. I'd still tell a friend to buy one and if they get an opportunity to special order the jacuzzis, I would recommend to put the jets in the jacuzzi where they want them and have the reps explain the way that they cycle the jets from one side to the other. Because I didn’t really understand how that worked and how I see what I would do differently if I were able to fix it myself. If my wife wanted to sit in a jacuzzi, instead of us having to sit on the same side if we want full power to the two jets, if there’s an inverter to be able to do one or two or three at the time, get that.

We bought an original Cal Spa in 1999. It was a great product and we really liked it, so when we were shopping for another one, we wanted to get another Cal Spa tub.

They didn't take it back despite weeks and weeks of phone calls and e-mails. I then reached out directly to Cal Spas and they reached out to the retailer many times but the retailer was not responsive. We even had a fight with the retailer through the bank to try to get our money back. But Cal Spa said that for all our trouble they were going to give me a new hot tub for free.
Cal Spas then told me that they dropped the retailer as one of their suppliers and took it upon themselves to find another spa company on Long Island to come out to our house, remove the old hot tub and install a new one. The customer service was great and couldn't have been any better. We appreciated that Cal Spa jumped in when the retailer was unresponsive. They even had executives get involved and speak to us.

We bought our first hot tub with all wood from Cal Spas 25 years ago. In 2008, we walked in and bought our second one. We paid cash for it and we noticed that Cal Spas were a little bit cheaper on some things. They took our old hot tub and gave us the money for that. We liked that second hot tub and it was almost eight years old but we never had any issues with it except for a couple of bugs and Cal Spas fixed that. But a sidewinder tornado took it.
So we got a new 2017 64 jet hot tub. We had a 100% deductible with the insurance company and they paid for everything. The insurance went from what we had before so they gave us a check for $12,000 and we went into the store up in Plymouth and got a new one. They did a few wheeling and dealing because we’ve been their customer for years. The hot tub is a little spendy for people because not everybody can whip out $12000 and get a hot tub. And this hot tub that we got cost $11000.
We’re very much impressed with it. The paneling around is way better than the one we had in 2008 because whoever they hired put on our lid wrong on that one and it was a mess. We also got the cool down seats on our new tub and the lights that are all inside. We love that. But we didn't get the radio because we had one before and we did not like it. They were cheap speakers. So we just went out and bought a Bose speaker and saved money that way. We love that because we can do our own music on the Wi-Fi. I also like the idea of the waterfall and that the center chair has all the new sides. The jets are on the sides of your body and it sits up higher, too. The other ones tend to sink down and it’s hard when you’re short like a girl. But my husband is 6’1" and he loves the lounger because it has more jets underneath the calves while the other one did not.
The guys in Plymouth were very knowledgeable and easygoing. They knew us by name because we buy our chemicals there and we go back and forth. I've been such a good customer that every time we go there, they always tell me to not worry and get my chemicals then they pay for my shipping. They’re always that nice and that makes me want to come back and tell all the people about Cal Spas, too. But sometimes, it’s hard to get to Plymouth so we go to this store that my husband passes by.

We had Cal Spas install a hot tub around five months ago. The salesperson we had was fine but there was a real disconnect between one of their operation guys from the San Bernardino store. I explained to them that getting a spa into the location would be a bit challenging because there were narrow openings with gates. The guy came out and took a look at it. He said it won’t be a problem and that they can get the spa in there. I was a little doubtful but went with him on it since he’s the expert. The installers came out and took a look at where they had to put the spa and said, “That ain’t going to happen.”
About the time we were having this discussion, my electrician who was working that day at our property was watching what was going on. I knew my wife was getting increasingly agitated because she wanted the spa put in. So, my electrician told us he’s got a friend who has a crane company. He got a hold of this friend and it turned out the guy was down the street finishing up a job. Within 45 minutes he showed up, hooked up his crane, lifted the spa over the top of the house, dropped it on the back, and then the guys installed the spa. It was $350 and Cal Spas paid for it. Other than that, the installation was great. They placed it and it worked out fine.
The other concern we had is that we didn’t get a good education on the proper use of the spa in terms of chemicals. We did as we were told but it overagitated the water in the spa. There’s a water clarifier and there’s bromine. Whenever we turn the pump on we get a lot of bubbles. And then the guy we talked to said we’re not supposed to use bromine and use chlorine instead. So, we switched to chlorine. But at that point, the water had been over-chemicalized that we’re still having a problem. I put the water in about five minutes and then the recommendation is to drain the water and do it again.
They didn’t do a good job explaining to us what to use and what not to use.They weren’t even sure. One said bromine and one said chlorine. At some point, we’re probably going to have to drain the water. Every time we turn on the big pump, it creates this foam. Otherwise, the spa is great. It got lots of jets. We love and enjoy it and I’d definitely recommend it.

Just listen to me and I guarantee you we're going to get it up there. It's not that bad. And you can get your truck all the way back to the lot." It was horrible delivery.
Then, we got the tub and it had a blown fuse on it so once the electrical was hooked up, it didn’t work. Then I went back and forth with Cal Spas.

We've got a swim spa and we liked its size, the way it looked and what Cal Spas had to offer. We went back and forth on the 12-footer or the bigger one, and we wished we went with the bigger one but that would have taken up a lot of our patio. We were a little frustrated when getting the spa took a bit longer than usual and then once we got it, we had one problem. So, they sent people out to fix it. The product was brought in and set up like they said it would, so it was good. Now, the only issue we're having is that my husband can’t keep the chlorine in it enough. Other than that, the swim spa is nice and it's perfect for our daughter. Instead of having a pool taking up the whole yard, my daughter can go into the spa, splash around, and then still has room out in the yard to do whatever. We had a good experience.

We use our Cal Spa three to four times a week. The quality was excellent and it was better than what I expected. The installation team was good. They showed me how to cover, operate and lock it. I had some questions about the electrical and they were able to help with that as well. They were fast because it didn't take more than 20 minutes from the time they got there to the time that they were done. I got a starter chemical pack from them but I didn't use it because it came with chlorine and I heard that the bromine is the better thing to go with. I already recommended it to my in-laws and they'll probably end up going to the same location in Western Sacramento.

I sought Cal Spas and I've known about them for 30 years. I bought one at the Los Angeles County Fair 20 years ago at a different home and I just bought a new hot tub two months ago. The new tub has dual motors with dual filtration. Installation went fine and both tubs are good. I have a five-year warranty on it. The headrest has all bubbled up and lost their adhering effect that it has so it hasn’t held up with the water. I have to take all the cushions. It's easy to repair but that could be improved. They have a plastic step to go in the Cal Spas and it’s very poor. It gets very hot in the summer months that it burns the bottom of your feet. Cal Spas needs to address and upgrade that and I made one myself. The tub works all the time when we use it in the summer but we don’t want to go from hot to cold, it’s too painful. We can’t use it during the winter because it's too cold outside.

We bought our spa in June 2009 and its still looks great and works well. We had a few issues when we originally ordered the spa, which were resolved immediately by the company: The cover lifter we ordered was missing (they sent one). The 75sf filters didn't fit (they replaced them with 50sf filters). There was a crimped hose (they sent someone to replace it.) I was glad we were advised to order 2 covers; we replaced the original cover a couple of years ago with the second one we bought.
But I wish we had not gotten the bromine generator. It was a considerable added expense, the base chemical that makes it work was also expensive and hard to find, and we ended up just using bromine tablets anyway. Next time we might want to try the UV filter. We also had problems with the 24 hour pump and had to disconnect it; we just use the main pump which we find is sufficient for filtering. All in all, we love our spa and use it every day. We'd buy another spa from this company.

Cal Spas refuses to replace or remove the faulty swim spa I purchased in 2014. I bought a new swim spa in 2014 for $18,000. By 2015 the fixtures inside the spa rusted, the speaker covers rusted, one of the speaker covers under water came off; the debris catcher casing separated from the wall of the spa and the side paneling came off. Parts were replaced summer of 2016. ALL parts have rusted again & worse and the side paneling is off again. I purchased the spa from Secard Pools in Hemet and all they can do is replace the parts. I have asked both Secard and Cal Spa to reimburse me 75% of the cost and to remove it off my property and they say they cannot. Cal Spa (who built the spa) says it is not their responsibility. We have not been able to use the spa because it is a health hazard. The spa is maintained weekly by a reputable pool services and has been since we purchased it.
I cannot seem to get Cal Spa to understand that it is their product that is faulty and that water equipment should not rust. The Cal Spa Service Manager Karen said that because I have a contract with Secard it is their responsibility. Secard did not build the spa nor do they have the replacement parts, the parts come from Cal Spa. There is no resolve here and Cal Spa will not stand behind their product. Because of their faulty parts, I have not been able to utilize the spa and the spa is needed for my immune disorder, as I am a retired vet who suffers from chronic joint and muscle disabilities, which is why I purchased the spa.

We are very sorry that this rust issue continues to frustrate you. We want you to be able to use your spa confidently for your health and well being. After speaking to you we believe you may be experiencing this issue from the use of liquid chlorine in your spa. We at the least want to eliminate any issue we think may be contributing to this problem. Secard has been authorized to replace any stainless that is having this issue in your spa free of charge under warranty; and we would like to send you some granulated chlorine which is recommended in the owners manual.
Please allow us to help in this manner, it is the first step in figuring out why this would occur in your product. We will send this product direct to you this week, hopefully your service man can use this product and you will have good results with it. We do want to help you.

I went to their store and bought that after I purchased the tub and it didn't connect up with the paperwork. But that did not hinder the installers to put the tub in place because I had an electrician on-site.
They had to come back later to do that and did it the same day. Even though I had to pay my electrician twice, the people at Cal Spas made it up to me by giving some free chemicals. So they've been fantastic. Their customer service is phenomenal. They're really good at answering questions. And being a new spa owner, I had a lot of them.

We've had our house for 17 years and its hot tub was built into the ground. The people we bought the house from said they’ve had a lot of trouble with the old hot tub and they weren't going to put any more money into it. So, we fixed it up and kept it running but it didn't have anything, including bubbles. It was just a hot tub. We then called a company out here, six months ago, to replace it, and they recommended Cal Spas tub. I did a little bit of research online and I liked what I saw about Cal Spas as far as how they compare to other hot tubs. I also like that they're American Made.
We got the Cal Spas, and the company that installed it was Texas Landscaping and they were easy to work with. They came in, removed one of my fence panels, took the old bath tub out, filled in the hole that it left and put concrete and rebar in there to put the new spa on top. Nearly all of that happened while I was at work. By the time I got home the fence panel was replaced and the tub was installed and running. All that it took at that point was for them to give me about a 10-minute spa school, and it's been easy ever since.
We use the hot tub quite a bit, so it's been nice. The tub is easy to use, control, keep clean and maintain. It's a lot better with all the jets and controls and its lights work. It's also above ground and I've been happy with the way that it filters, the way it stays clean and with its simple operation as far as operating the jets. I also haven't had to do a whole lot with the tub to keep the chemicals balanced.
The hot tub also has a temperature feature that keeps the temperature at a certain range. And during the summer we could never get the temperature of the hot tub down below about a 105. So, I called Texas Landscape and they said that it was because of the cover that's on the tub. it's over a hundred degrees where we're at, so there's no place for the heat to go. It's not like the heating element isn't heating the hot tub up. It's just the ambient heat in the air. I was told to set some kind of a little can to prop up one side of the cover to release some of that heat. After that, the heat got regulated perfectly.

Cal Spas has been around for many, many years in California. We go to the county fair down in LA and I can’t remember not knowing about them. One time, they were in my area and had Cal Spas on sale. It was a nice spa with adequate features and it was what we were looking for to replace our old one. They gave me a good price for a spa of that size so I bought it. Since they just dropped it off and gave me a starter kit that had some chemicals, I hired a guy and a crane to put it in place. It was me who put in all the wiring as Cal Spas didn’t do that.
My previous spa had a door that I opened up with a little key and it gave me access to all of the control, the pump and the wiring. With this spa, you have to take the panels off and that’s a little cumbersome since they don’t just come apart. You have to basically unscrew the whole side to get into the control panel and install the wiring. Also, when my wife and I sit in there, it has two sides and they’re on two different pumps. So the right side, you push the jets one, it turns on the right side jets. We turn jets two and it turns on the left side jets. But they don't always come on. And then I try to adjust it so that it blows hard and it's sort of hit and miss.
When I turn on that right side jets, they come on as if it's just circulating water. It doesn't come and blow real hard like in a massage. Maybe there's something funky there that I haven't looked at or maybe I'm just not familiar with the spa like I should be. That's why I haven't called them yet. Lastly, the computer system on the spa is a little confusing when setting it up for the time. My wife does the timing when it comes on to just run like an hour a day and I manage the chemicals. But it's not bad. The spa got a nice, little-lighted system on it and I like it well enough.

He hired these awful guys to install the tub then they left a scratch on the outside. I had to reorder that panel and get someone else out to install it. I complained to main office. They could care less. The jets actually are on the weak side. For the price you pay on these tubs you should great service and a good product.

We have a Cal Spa for over a year now. It’s just really relaxing and it takes the stress away. Maybe it also helps my bones since I’m getting older. However, I've had some instances where the vent switch will go from 104 to 80. I then have to hit the buttons again. I don’t know if it’s a malfunction.

We got our Cal Spas tub delivery on the first of November and the delivery folks were phenomenal. I installed it myself and it's the second one I've done. I had the old tub for 15 years when we upgraded it and I hope the brand new Cal Spas one would do a lot better. I’m happy with the it and I enjoy soaking in it every other night. The only time I’m at the Cal Spas store is when I need chemicals and the people down there are good and don’t try to upsell me. They got a record of what tub I got and they tell me what I need.

Cal Spa's pricing made me decide to go with them. I got an 8 person tub with 56 jets. The Cal Spas team set it up and they were fine. Since then we've used the tub once every two weeks.

My wife and I were shopping for hot tubs and happened to go to the state fair. We saw Cal Spas and we visited a number of different manufacturers. The Cal Spas team came and helped us with the first start up. So they did a very good job with follow up. What’s interesting about that is some of the printed instructions were not as clear as when the guy came out and explained to us. To sum it up, they are friendly, easy to deal with, and very helpful. I get what I pay for and so far, it's been pretty good with them.

I've talked to a couple of different people that I know that have Cal Spas and they really like them so I bought a regular patio spa about six months ago. The construction portion was pretty quick. I was a little confused with how to set it up properly chemical-wise but I was able to figure it out just through the paperwork that came with it. I’ve called Cal Spas twice and they’re very friendly.

My situation was a little complicated and I told the dealer that it would be a good idea to have the installers come out as they might have trouble bringing the old Cal Spa out and the new one in. I knew it was gonna have to go over the house. I have a steep driveway and it was pretty tight then the deck had been built around the old spa so I wanted them to look at it and have a strategy. And then both the installers and the crane operator looked at the situation on Google Earth and said that it won’t be a problem.
They got out there the day we had scheduled to do it the first time and the guys who were going to do the work didn’t get consulted. They looked at it and said that they can't do it as they don’t have enough people and the right equipment. I showed the woman at the dealership pictures of how the area looked and she did not share those with the guys who were gonna be doing the installation. I took a half day off work to be there while they did this and then they couldn’t do it.
The installers said the things that they have to do and so we rescheduled it for the second time. They then had the extra guys and the extra equipment they needed to get the old one out. The crane operator who was also there the first time brought a bigger crane and he was very nice about it. He offered to do it at the original quoted price which I ended up paying him more for because I knew he had to come out twice. Basically, it cost everybody extra time because the pertinent information didn’t get passed along to the people who were gonna have to do the work on the ground.
Then the Cal Spas that I had before was very roomy and it ran really well. I would put in a couple of teaspoons of chemicals and chlorine every week and it would stay nice and clear. With the new one, it's the same water that I put, however, it’s cloudy all the time and I’m using more chlorine on it and I don’t quite understand that. I wanted to call the dealer and see what they thought about it. If there is somebody that could give a technical advice that could call me back and discuss that particular issue with me, that would be nice. But it’s working fine. I used my old spa a whole lot and now I use the new one a lot as well. I do a lot of hiking and it’s great to come back after a six-hour hike and be able to drop into the bathtub so it’s awesome.

The Cal Spas store was fine and the guy was good. I got a five-seater with one big pump in the middle and they installed it for us. That was pretty easy and everything was fine. There was a little problem with the spa and the guy came back about a month later and fixed one of the sidings. I'm also having a little bit of trouble with the lighting system. It's flickering when you select a different mode of light and it does that once in a while. It's been happening a little bit more often and I was gonna call them about that. But the tub is a little better than the one we used to have. This one's pretty good so far so were happy with it. We've had it for four months now and I'd recommend it.

Our Cal Spas tub was too expensive to repair so we bought a new one. It was going to be a similar size and Cal Spas seemed like a brand we trusted and we're pretty happy with it, so we got our tub from them again. It was an enjoyable experience and they were helpful when we needed help. Their team was great and very knowledgeable. They even came out and validated something for us. So, the whole after-sales experience was very good.

I like that Cal Spas are made in the USA and they were reasonably priced. I got a spa that sits on our concrete patio. The kids have had fun having friends over so it’s been nice for entertaining. It’s also good relaxing time together as a family. However, I don’t like the maintenance part. I had no idea I was gonna get into that. It has added a layer of stress in my life. Before we bought the spa, I asked a guy at the State Fair what kind of maintenance does it need, and he got out the two scoops of the chlorine that you put in after you use it and said, “There. That’s it. Now you’re done.” He didn’t really explain that twice a week you’re down there practically being a chemist, measuring water levels and adjusting.

We bought our house in May of last year, moved in, and there's a tub from Cal Spas. It was still running but was ancient old. We knew that it was still working and ticking long, but it was drawing a lot of electricity. We wanted it replaced so we went in at the store and had some questions about stuff as far as where we should keep it for temperature. They came out and did a walkthrough with us to explain the cycles and all of that stuff, which was really nice and informative. During installation, we had to take down one of the walls since we had an enclosed deck, which we had done previously. The installation guys were awesome and they came all the way around the back of the house, got the tub up onto the deck, asked where we wanted the tub, and put it in place. The Cal Spas hot tub is awesome and we love it. We use it a couple of times a week. We live in Minnesota and it's really nice to chill out the bones. Everything has been fantastic.

We bought a six-person Cal Spas hot tub and Secard Pools in Lancaster took very good care of us. They were right on the money and when they said they were delivering, they had it done. The hot tub is great for my back. I don't hurt as much and neither does my husband 'cause we're both older. It's also nice to go out and get in the tub on a weekend morning.
We've used Cal Spas for 22 years. They're very dependable. When we were first setting up the tub, I had an electrician friend who wasn't quite sure how to do certain things to the wiring. We got a hold of technicians and they were quite helpful. When they said they're going to call back in a few minutes, they did within five minutes with the proper answers so they were quite efficient.
