  1. Thanks for the comments. My husband and I were thinking along the same lines. He has already installed a 220 box that he uses for his compressor in the garage so I don't expect this work will be an issue for him. We just wanted to make sure there haven't been any warranty issues out there for anyone who has done the work themselves.
  2. Does anyone know if Watkins voids their warranty (or any portion thereof) if you don't have a licensed electrician do the electrical connections? My husband is very handy and has done this type of work before and so we would prefer to save the $1k but I don't want to have problems with our warranty down the road. Our dealer (who has been in business for over 30 years and selling Caldera's for about 15) said this wouldn't be a problem as they "wouldn't know or ask for proof" but I don't want to risk it if there is a chance we could have problems.
  3. Does any one know how Caldera's bottom is fashioned? I was told by the sales person that it is stapled to the wood frame which leads me to believe it is not a thick floor. Other than that, we are really pleased with the features and feel of the Caldera so I would appreciate any thoughts/comments/warnings!
  4. Thanks for the input. I wasn't sure if I was just getting one of those "scare the little lady with mice" lines or if this was a real issue.
  5. I started my arduous process of going from dealer to dealer to check out their product. At one dealer (Artic), the guy mentioned that there are problems with some other makes with critters (like mice) getting in and chewing on wires/hoses. He said we won't have that problem with the Artic because of the floor they have. I am also considering HotSpring and Caldera and they both said they don't have an issue with this because of their flooring. Is this a real issue or just a sales pitch? Are there access points for mice to get in? He (the Artic dealer) showed me a cross section of a tub that had an obvious mouse nest and resulting damage so it obviously made me a bit concerned (our property is very wooded and we do occasionally get mice in our basement and garage).
  6. Thanks. I wasn't sure if this was a cyclical or seasonal business. I am still researching the different brands and their features at this point. I will keep in mind the floor model idea if I see one I like. Thanks again for the input.
  7. I have begun the process to research the purchase of a hot tub/spa for my husband's 40th birthday. I have some time, but I want to make sure I don't miss out on any "seasonal" pricing. Is there a better time of year to be purchasing (like when next year models come in?) or during certain seasons? Just trying to figure out if I will have better leverage at any certain time of the year. Thanks ORourkeva
