You should check out cal spas.com they have 4 swim spas to choose from....they have really changed alot since their now all self-contained

Are you going to wet test her later ......I meant wet test the tub?

this is a good choice, I am a dealer of jacuzzi and this is the low end of the j-series ,but its my favorite you hardly find that much floor space and also have a lounger.....save the extra money i promise youll be happy.

I am a dealer of jacuzzi and the j-280 is very nice and has plenty bells and whistles...it is the low end of the series but its probally my favorite, i love the layout. you dont usually get that much floor space with a lounger ,but in this tub you do .....goooooood choice save the xtra money this tub is perfect.

calspa vs jacuzzi ? why?

I do struggle with cal and thats why we are now a jacuzzi dealer as of two weeks ago, We have 24 tubs that will be here tomorrow, hope fully jacuzzi does well for us ,I Just want to say thanks for the info...

All this waiting on parts is crazy ,we have a very large service dept and we service every brand on the market so I know all tubs need work.....we try to be fully stocked on boards pumps and god knows what else.I have a seperate building just for service so as for lack of taking care of the customer thats not a issue here,Now for us to get warranty paid back yes its a hassle but the customer should never have to worry about that part.Cal makes a great tub and if something goes wrong the dealer fixes it not cal...Thats what make a good dealer stay alive ..Customer satisfaction. not dealer satisfaction,AS acustomer who cares if the dealer is having problems as long as IM happy....(customer)

Pathfinder, all this is fine , but tell me as a dealer what tubs dont have problems?I mean I have hundreds of Avalon owners and just cal owners period that have had a cal spa for years and no complaints ,So for people to say cal is a lemon is far from being true,sure ther e are problems with production at times, but cars , boats,dishwashers,ect all have errors, as long as the problem gets fixed there should be a positive outcome.Yes Graham crackers is correct, OPened in 97, but before that we were pool care,and 30 years dealer didnt start w cal spas.............Yes im the largest dealer in the united states. 50 plus tubs in stock year round.(IN STOCK)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well so far nobody has really given any hard facts about why cal is a joke. Most of the problems everyone is saying is crazy, To you people who think you know everything about cal you really dont,IM the largest cal dealer in the united states and have been for 30 years,so i guess cal isnt that bad, the heater warranty is life (NO QUESTIONS) if anything goes wrong its covered.And for the true blue safety suction to Mr.know it all it is standard on all tubs except the victory series. Yes u can get it on the Avalon THANK YOU!

yes telling about the avalon You guys automatically go to oh its a sales pitch.... the jets do not get stuck unless you have a improper chemical balance for a period of time ,calcium build up!talking about the avalon series it has all the bells and whistles you can get on a tub plus more exclusive fetures offered only buy cal spas..

g

Jet count means nothing key jet placement says therapy, 3 pumps and good warranty, plus great service,is nice.cal is known for positive pressure they run flex hose to each individual jet for uniformal pressure,also cal has a safety suction feture that saves lives and saves pumps and motors....not all cal spas are the 100% no break down spas like evreryone else seems to have ,but bottom line is wet test and pick someone w a service deptment, all spas need some work,I PROMISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes i have sat in the avalon and cheaper contrlol pack doesnt mean a bad thing why would i give a sales pitch, i make nothing off the info, so stick to your opinion and ill stick w mine,cal is a very good name and has been for along time,let me guess Mr. pool and spa owner I bet your tubs are the best? cal is good and hotsprings also try jacuzzi,those are the three top brands,selling spas for 30 years i do know a thing or two...

HI im a cal spa and jacuzzi dealer and the avalon is a really good choice of cal,its probally our biggest seller because of the seat config and the cool down seat its the consumer digest best buy of the year 2007.It retails for about 7695.00 it has a lifetime heater no heating element exposed to the water and all these people talking about warranty claims (problems) the dealer takes care of your problems, and then the dealer handles the warranty through cal...at least thats how we do it here in nw arkansas..largest service dept in arkansas and largest dealer in the united states.65 hot tubs in stock! every spa name has problems with jets, leaks ,heaters ,ect....hottubs are maintnance items just like a car or a jet ski......thanks.

Check out calspas.com, they have great therapy seats, simply because cal doesnt push # of jets they go with the key location of jet configuration,(where their placed....)I know this because Im a dealer of jacuzzi and cal spas... for more info feel free to call me
