Ok, so instead of living on a yacht, we think we want a hot tub. Asking for OT wisdom on brand, features, experiences, maintenance. Thank you.
This should be good.

One more thing to take care of, spend money on, spend more money on, try to keep clean, then use occasionally, usually just to say you used it since you spent so much money on it. I wouldn't take one if to were free.
My pool is a big enough job. Don't need another.
GOD is good!

Hot Tubs are stupid unless you have mad slewters.
Don't worry about the mule, just load the cart

We had one put in with the pool, we used it regularly and year round- Gonna miss it actually- I’ve never had one of those free standing ones and don’t plan on getting one as much as I’m gonna miss the old one- Had to replace the heater once but it was pretty trouble free overall, it took just a bit more maintenance while you did the pool stuff-
What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

I have a circulatory condition where I need hydrotherapy. Dr. says daily, but I doubt we’d use it that much. We also have a pool, but it isn’t heated. We love the water and hate staring at the pool during cold months and can’t swim. Hot tub seems like a good thing for us.
Have looked at new and used for the past month. Not buying used- too risky. Will get a model that will last us 20 years. Of course there will be break downs and maintenance- but I don’t mind it.

Get something practical
Make the garage bigger Build a deck Make a patio Build a work shop
You will use the hot tub infrequently unless you have teenagers

Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.
