The Family Connect Series from Cal Spas

A recent article in the Orange County Register pointed out that backyard hot tub sales have been on the rise despite the tough economy. Homeowners are spending more time entertaining at home, which means more money is being spent on outdoor furniture, accessories, entertainment, and even spas. Hot tubs are perfect for those who love to entertain in a relaxed environment. Consumers can select from a wide range of energy-efficient spas, including small “plug and play” tubs and larger swim/spa models.

The Family Connect Series from Cal Spas consists of two 7-foot bench and lounger spas with 36 massage-therapy jets and award winning features. To ensure the ultimate spa experience for bathers, Family Connect Spas feature a powerful, high-performance 5-bhp two-pump system. Both spas feature a breathtaking LED lighting package and cascade waterfall that adds a romantic ambience to any backyard.
