You can still get a yacht, most of them have hot tubs.

Yes, if you build it yourself, the exercise will improve circulation

I don't like them. To me they are scuzzy like a cheap hotel with dirty shag carpet and a vibrating bed. Hot breeding grounds for spirochetes and such. It is like saying, hey, I left my bathwater for you, hop in.

So much negativity. Did the Cowboys lose today???

Family in PA have one. It’s quite fun to sit outside while it’s snowing and drink wine.

I think you also need a good clear view of the sky.

A clear view of the sky is often a challenge in Dallas.

I’ll just be looking at my nekkid wife. I’m ok with that.

Vibrators are cheaper and do the same thing.

We've had two over the years. First was back in the 70's and was one of the first in the area. It was a wooden, round with seats and the water was neck deep. Great ambiance and thank goodness it couldn't talk. It finally started leaking and went downhill from there, but that happened aft 15 years or so. We later buila house and added a hot tub on the patio overlooking the lake. Not nearly as comfortable, has to recliners which were a mistake. Better jets and less maintenance. It does not use chlorine and is much friendlier on the skin. Has an ozonator which is good, electric so it stays at the right temp. Brand is Dimension One. We have had it about 12 years with little problem. Very energy efficient. Understand that brand was bought by Jacuzzi and the quality has gone down considerable. No validation of that, but was told by a salesman at the place which still sells them.

Don't use it anymore and need to get rid of it.

Wouldn't taking a hot bath do the trick for the circulation? Then you get to dump the water and start over next time.

I'll admit that bottom pic that Bob Davis posted does make it look pretty appealing, though.

It would be fun to DNA test the water from any public hot tub. Probably blow up the analytical tool. If you do get one, I would suggest a quality dinkleberry filter.

Geez. If you are seriously considering a hot tub then ignore 99% of these posts. They are nonsense.

Tubs today come with very good warranties and are pretty much problem free. I just purchased another and love it. I will never not have a hot tub again.

Keeping them balanced is very easy. So simple. Even easier if you go with the salt water. Cost a bit more in set up, but worth it. If you have lots of people then it takes a bit more.

Decide if you want a 110 plug and play or 220. Each have pros and cons. I would suggest getting at least a 6 person, even if it’s just you and spouse. 84x84 is a great size.

220 will give you bigger pumps and more jets. 110 smaller pump and less jets. Again, decide what ya need and then compare.

Tubs are also pretty easy to work on if you go used. New heaters are pretty expensive, but nothing too bad.

I use mine almost daily and love it. Really helps the old aches and pains

Plus there are the well known health benefits of slowly sipping the film from the surface. That film is called the "essence", and it's delicious. I don't have a hot tub, though, so I sip it at the health club. Very potent.
