Wet tested the Caldera Tahitian last night with wife, daughter, and her friend. Took some time getting use to the lounger but did like it after that. Deeper than the lounger in Sundance model (Certa) we also wet tested. Jets were powerful in all seats and liked all the adjustments. Air injected without jets on created nice bubbling action. Down to checkbook time. I have a $8500 deal out the door with tub, steps, cover, lifter, start chemicals, GFI box, ozinator (i believe it is standard on this model), and tax. From what I have read on here, appears to be a decent deal. Located in AL. Hard to believe I am looking at spas when we are in the 9 consective 100+ degree days!. any feedback on the tub or the price I am getting this at is appreciated.

Thanks for the info. I have not looked at the Caldera Geneva or Niagria but will today. Interesting on my part is that the Sundance dealer and Tiger River are the same, just different store locations. Again, from everything I have been able to read and research, Sundance, Hot Springs, and Caldera are all pretty good lines. I guess it really does come down to personal feel of the tub and price, as quality seems to be the same. Let me know how the wet test goes.

I was quoted $8500 for the Chelsee. This included spa, cover, covermate II lifter, ozinator, steps, GFI box, setup, delivery, and tax (8%). I am reading a good price, or at least others quotes are running, at just over $7k. I have also been qouted $8200 (same setup as the Chelsee) for the Tiger River Capsian. I like both tubs but I think the Tiger River would be less than $300 from the Chelsee. I am also looking at Caldera spa's. I am getting a deal a $8500 out the door with everything included on the Chelsee, or should I keep negotiating or looking? Appreciate the help.
