Those of you that own Hot Tubs

It doesn't snow here but rarely, but one time when it did, I was in the hot tub.
Ozonators do work but need to be supplemented with bromine.
I'm looking to replace my hot tub now. There are free ones all the time on CL. Even with free gazebos. I can fix almost anything so I'm not worried about that. As long as it's structurally sound.

That's the route we may take.

We bought a Down East MasterSpa a couple years back. 7 person, 4 pumps, maybe 50 jets, all adjustable for flow rate and direction.

I'm in agreement with floydpink, get something that's gonna "move" you.
All vinyl skirting, easy access to everything.

oops, I take back my earlier statement about only buying Jacuzzi or Hotspring.

Masterspa makes some awesome spas, and you could throw in Marquis to the mix as top manufacturers.

Masterspa had a dealer near me that went out of business a couple years ago and I stopped in with a friend who ended up getting a great deal on one.

All the fancy LED lighting and fancy grab rails look cool, as well as waterfalls, but count on them breaking within a couple years.

Also, make sure the spa is well sealed with no access through the skirting. I have read stories of guys opening them up and finding snakes and rodents living inside and plumbing destroyed by rodents. I sealed mine up as cottonmouths are common in my neck of the woods.
