Those of you that own Hot Tubs

Forgot to mention, if you get a chiropractor or doctor to write "spa medically necessary", it is a tax deduction as well as the maintainance.

I hate chlorine and use bromine and the maintainance is pretty easy once you get into the routine.

The reason I wouldn't buy one of the other brands is because the jets are lame as well as the insulation and overall construction.

Again, get a Jacuzzi or Hotspring if you are gonna do it.

There is a web forum dedicated to info on buying a spa and if you google, "what's the best hottub", you should find it.

I spent a good amount of time on there before buying my Jacuzzi but haven't been back in years.

100 Jets? that is a bit surprising as my "therapy seat" has 14 and I am not aware of more than 20 or so per seat max.

Hotspring has a patented rolling massage jet that is really nice, but I have to brace myself in my therapy seat not to get blown out.

There are few better things than putting a good CD in the stereo, putting on the lights and looking up at the cigars in the spa with a good cigar.

I'll be doing just that in a few minutes.

Be very careful shopping as every salesman will naturally tell you their brand is the best but stuff like ABS or marine pressure treated wood base and internal plumbing aren't stuff you will know about until your base rots out.

Do what you want, save money if you want, but trust me when I say, Jacuzzi or Hotsprings are the cream of the crop in spas.
