You SHOULD get your $23k back! Ridiculous.

Pretty negligent craftsmanship.-Yikes...hard to believe they charge so much for a poorly made product.

Sure looks like its been left in the sun too long....In 15 years Ive seen other manufacturers develop blidters and even seen hot springs crack, bet Ive never had a problem with cal spas acrylic blistering.I did have a coleman spa left empty on a sunny hot day and it did develop blisters...not the manufacturers fault though! Oh and what a joke reguarding caldera venting the motor heat AWAY from the spa...what a waste of heat. With the correct ventelation in the cabinet, that heat can be well used

This is caused by leaving an empty Cal Spa in high heat and direct sunlight. They are not designed t be left that way. It is a molded product, molded by heat. Think about it.

BRAND NEW Caldera Spa if you had a blister issue. Guaranteed! Trust me, I had delivered about 5 new spas this year alone that were warranty replacements. There aren't many videos on YouTube about crappy Caldera Spas! Bottom line, spend less money and get a REAL hot tub!

...yourself a REAL spa that is reliable, won't have leak issues, that is by far the most comfortable to sit in. Think of it this way, if you had the opportunity to buy a brand new Mercedes for less than the cost of a Chevy Cavalier, would you take it? Of course you would, because you know even though they will both get you where you want to go, there is a huge quality difference that the Chevy can't touch. Oh and just so you know, if that had been a Caldera, they would have given you a....

...and we sell them all the time for around $10k. No other tub on the market can compete with what this spa can do for you. GUARANTEED! By the way, earlier I mentioned Caldera spas and Hot Spring Spas as the top 2 brands out of the hundreds of different ones out there, well they are made by the same company and they sell about double the amount of spas per year than their next closest competitor which is Sundance. So, my point is, stop looking at buying these cheap knock-off spas and get..

....they have the most efficient heaters and circulating systems on the market. They are the Mercedes of hot tubs. You can get the most luxurious, comfortable, and one of the largest spas on the market for $11,000 or less. So for anyone who thinks they are getting a good deal by spending $10k-$20k on a Cal Spa or Arctic Spa, or any of the other generic spa brands out there, you're not! You are getting ripped off. Check out the Caldera Cantabria. It has an MSRP of around $12k-$13k and at...

Cal Spas are crap! They are generic.  They have the same components in them that 90% of the other brands out there have. Most brands are the same parts they just design the shell to look different and slap their logo on it and thats it. Just an FYI though, no spas manufacturers will insulate the front compartment that houses the heater and pumps. The equipment needs to breath and your tub would burn up if the front was insulated. The top 2 brands on the market are Caldera and Hot springs...

based on your video and all of the horrible reviews of Cal Spas on the web, i will not be giving them the 11,5K i was about to write a check for last week. its a shame becuase they do seem to have the specifications i want.

to the person who said, who cares about the blisters just fill it up with water i woudl say, who cares about the 10K just give it to me for free! he paid for a blisterless spa and should have one.

CalSpasDefects did you win your lawsuit? how much did you get?
