Smarter Spa Care Has Arrived for Many Hot Spring & Caldera Owners

Technology continues to make hot tub ownership easier — and many current Hot Spring and Caldera Spas owners now have access to exciting new upgrade options including SmartIQ™ Monitoring, FreshWater® IQ Dosing Systems, and Connected Spa Kit 2 technology. These systems are designed to help simplify water care, improve convenience, and give you greater peace of mind while enjoying your spa.

What Do These Systems Do?
SmartIQ™ Monitoring

SmartIQ helps monitor your spa’s water and system status, giving you smarter insights into your spa’s operation and water care needs. These systems are designed to help simplify water care, improve convenience, and give you greater peace of mind while enjoying your spa.

FreshWater® IQ Dosing System

The FreshWater IQ System is designed to work with the FreshWater Salt System, helping automatically monitor and maintain sanitizer and pH levels while reducing much of the guesswork associated with traditional water care. This advanced saltwater system helps create a more consistent water care experience while simplifying day-to-day spa maintenance.

Connected Spa Kit 2

Compatible spa owners can remotely monitor and control many spa functions directly from their smartphone, including:

• Adjusting temperature
Monitoring spa status
Receiving notifications and alerts
Managing settings remotely

It’s a great upgrade for busy spa owners who want added convenience and smarter spa management.

Available for Many 2025 & Newer Models
