You might consider installing solar panels and plumbing them to your spa as well as to your pool.
I have a friend who uses his spa almost every evening. He routes the solar heating to it during the day for just a couple of hours and heats it up to 110 degrees. He says once in a while he forgets about it and it gets as high as 135 degrees. I know you have plenty of solar heat up there in Sacramento!
