Brulan1 Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Why doesn't Catalina Spa's ever come up in anyones topic? I just thought about them and saw them at the show and thought absolutely stunning. They are pretty high priced but does anyone know the quality of these space ships?

Hot Tub Guru Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 One note. Check to see when the warranty starts. I believe it starts the day the spa is done being manufactured. Some spas warranty starts when the sale is made, while others start the day the spa is delivered. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael ... and always look into whether it is a prorated warranty (few do this but a couple do). Catalina doesn't get too much pub because they don't sell nearly as many spas as those others you hear about on this site. That doesn't necessarily make them better or worse.

Caren Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 I would like to hear any other opinions/facts about this company. I wet testedthe barefoot spa magnassager and wasn't impressed, However, full and ready to go was a Catalina-highest end model with all the bells and whisles. We tried it and I really liked some of the jets. What I especially liked was the cool misters. I am seriously thinking about the Neptune II -brand new model. Also called the Mariah w. stereo http://www.catalinaspas.com/brochure/page7.htm It has a lounge and nice configured jets. I will be wet testing that model next week. TIA for any info.

While I have only wet tested one and it was close to 5-6 years ago, I have worked on a couple and have a customer who takes very good care of his and loves it to death. I personaly think they are a fine tub. However we do not have a local dealer anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of misters because they take the water you're sitting in and send it into the air that you breath and I've seen enough spa water out there to know I don't want to breath any of it (unless it has a separate water source).

When I saw the Catalina at the Atlantic City Convention I was truly impressed. They were high end alright. You can spend up to 25K dollars on a tub from a retailers perspective. The seating was amazingly compfy. I didn't like the foam Idea but on the other hand the components were accessable. I like the fact that they use there own trees from N. Cali the same wood they build there boats from. The maintainance part is killer though. Nice tub! I have dealer prices from the show and it is very entailed, like buying a bentley with all the options. You can spend a month just customizing that thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense-however when you sit in the tub with jets going-turbulant hot water-causes mist that you will still breathe in-Wouldn't that be true-( I am not sure about it but it would make sense to me) I know that my glasses get fogged and wet so I am probably breathing it in anyway.

But that pales in comparison to what the misters give off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
