and now looking lengthwise. Cover lifter making all the difference. Only privacy until the fencing goes up in a month.

Just show up on September 31st. Free beer and steaks.

All is good so far. Only blip is that 3 of the jet covers have popped off. Just have to spot where they came from and twist them back into place. Hopefully just normal teething pains.

Probably so, those look like new versions of the same Waterways jets my old Dynasty used.  I had the same thing happen initially, after a couple of times they stayed in place, then after 10 years they started failing regularly, part of what made me decide to go new.

Since those first few, no more have popped off. Still working out what knobs change which air/water flow. Also notice some glue leaching out of the tub down low. Maybe from the pressure of all the weight added when it was filled. Sticky as tree sap when i touched it.

finally remembers to add some action photos

Beautiful set up and love the fence too! I have a friend that owns a Caldera Tahitian and it's a great spa! We joke about fri nights now...your spa or mine?

Rich looking setup! I've never looked at Caldera but it physically looks very nice. It fits your environment well and I really like that fence!
