FAQ
Does the Caldera Spas Paradise Martinique need a dedicated 240v circuit?
Yes. The Paradise Martinique is a 240v hardwired hot tub that requires a dedicated 50-amp GFCI breaker and a hardwire connection by a licensed electrician. Plan for $400–$2,000 in install costs depending on panel distance and local code.
Does the Caldera Spas Paradise Martinique include a cover?
Cover inclusion varies by retailer and bundle. Verify on the listing before you purchase — a third-party replacement runs $250–$500 if you have to buy one separately.
When does the Caldera Spas Paradise Martinique warranty start?
Warranty start dates vary by manufacturer policy on the Paradise Martinique. Most start on the delivery date, not install or fill. Save the original receipt and delivery confirmation — warranty disputes in this category often come down to documenting purchase date.
