Help me decide Caldera C45 OR Emerald E550 I can get the Caldera C45 with the steps, lift buddy, outdoor GFCI, 2009 model for $6200 out the door. The Emerald also comes with a lift buddy and steps however no GFCI, 2008 model for $6550 out the door. Both are nice. The Caldera has a 5 year warranty on the mechanical and electrical while the Emerald has a 3. The Caldera is slight larger but a bit more spacious for foot room then the Emerald. The Emerald has LED lighting around the tub which I could care less about. Both are very nice tubs. Please give me your thoughts on the brands / features? Thank you I'm a newb

I and getting concrete poured for my hot tub. The tub weights 6,000 pounds filled. I am getting a 4 in slab reinforced with re bar and fiber mesh. The ground is firm. The house has been here for 30 years so its as settled as it is going to get. Should I expect any problems or should this be good enough?

I have looked at a large variety of tubs. I am thinking about going with a Caldera C45 spa (Specs below) I can get the tub (Caldera C45 2009model), lift buddy, steps and outside GFCI subpanel out the door for $6200. It has a 10 year warranty on the shell and 5 on everything else. Non pro-rated. What do you guys think about this tub, the brand and the price?
