We contacted our dealer, and we sorted out the blinking orange light, and then there were no lights, and he suggested we had a wire in the wrong place. It turns out our electrician put one wire in the wrong place, and we had no heat. I am glad it was human error rather than a faulty tub, but I am also rather disturbed that it was the electrician's error.

They are human. At least it wasn’t a big deal. If i had 5 bucks for every electrician mistake I’ve seen I’d be able to retire 😀. It’s actually quite common. That’s why I try and insist on having my electrician wire tubs I sell.

I wired my own Caldera Geneva and it can be a little tricky. When you get the diagrams at least when I did mine they are all lumped together for all the models and there are some connection points o the board where nothing is placed.
I would strongly also recommend using boot marker numbers on the wires before you pull them thru the conduit. Most tubs are cut and dry with 2 hot, 1 common , 1 ground. Caldera on their premium tubs have a dual GFCI and run 7 wires I believe and without marking or closely following the diagram it is easy to get one wrong. Most residential electricians don’t see this type tub hook up very often.
The other reason for boot marker numbers is if you ever have to pull the tub out for service getting things hooked back up properly.
Glad it got straightened out and the incorrect wiring did no damage.
Enjoy your Caldera, you will not regret spending the extra money.

Yeah but it was only 1 wire that was wrong!

happens at least once per month here, usually when someone tries to save $100 by going with some random electrician vs. the one I refer who has hooked up spas for 10 years

It’s almost always the neutral wire being run to the ground bar instead of back to the breaker. Doesn’t seem to matter if it’s a 50A or a 20A/30A.
