Features and specifications

The Tahitian is a full-size Caldera Spa with dimensions of 7' x 7' x 36" and a seating capacity of six. It holds 375 gallons of water, weighs 900 lbs. dry, and reaches 5,080 lbs. when filled. The spa includes 48 jets, two ReliaFlo pumps, an EnergyPro circulation pump, and an EnergyPro heater rated at 4,000 watts. It uses a 230v/50 amp electrical requirement and includes a GFCI sub-panel.

Additional features support both usability and appearance. The spa includes SpaGlo multi-zone LED lighting with interior lights and an exterior light bar, an Acquarella waterfall with LED lighting, and a fully-insulated cabinet design with FiberCor material and ABS base pan construction. Available cabinet colors are Parchment, Ash, and Java, while shell color options include White Pearl, Platinum, Tuscan Sun, Arctic White, and Midnight Canyon. The WeatherPro 4" tapered custom-fit cover adds another layer of protection for everyday ownership.

Comfort, jets, and controls

This model is designed to deliver a customizable soak with a range of jet experiences. The UltraMasseuse system offers six different jet sequences and three speeds, giving bathers more control over the style of massage they prefer. The spa also includes specialty seating and jet zones such as the UltraMasseuse lounge seat, Atlas neck massage, EcstaSeat, LumbarSsage seat, Euphoria jets, angled calf jets, Sole Soothers jets, and Foot Ridge support. Together, these features create a spa that can feel soothing after a long day or refreshing after exercise.

Operation is centered around the Advent LCD touchscreen control with auxiliary panel, which keeps core spa functions easy to manage. Optional upgrades include Smart Spa Technology with the Caldera Spas App, wireless audio with extended-range Bluetooth technology, a subwoofer, a 22" HD wireless monitor, cover lifters, a Utopia step, CoolZone, and an optional Corona Discharge Ozone system. For buyers who want a spa that can grow with changing preferences, these options help tailor the experience.

Energy efficiency and water care

The Tahitian is built to help retain heat efficiently. Its fully insulated construction, EnergyPro components, and WeatherPro 4" tapered custom-fit cover work together to help reduce heat loss and support lower operating costs. The spa also includes a FreshWater IQ System, and it uses a 100 sq. ft. filter for water care. This combination gives buyers a practical path to simpler ownership, especially when they want a spa that is set up for routine use rather than occasional soaking only.

For shoppers comparing hot tubs across Northern Michigan, that combination of thermal efficiency, water care, and strong massage range makes the Tahitian especially appealing. It is sized to serve a family, but it also works well for couples or small groups who want a consistent at-home retreat.
