Hot Tubs

[March-Hare]

We're looking into getting one, mainly for relaxation and aches & pains than for 'partying' .....so really only needing 2/3 seater ....... wondered what experience folks had with researching, who to buy from, whether chemicals are easy, running costs etc ...... All info gratefully received. Thank you.

Think about how you are going to get it in the back garden.

One of our neighbours had to hire a huge crane to lift it over the roof of their house to get it in their back garden.

In Japan most households have a small, deep bath tub with a shower over, so you get clean in the shower then have deep soaks for joint health. They are usually just like a normal bathtub but shorter and deepr, so you kind of sit up to your shoulders in hot water. I notice more firms in the UK are now offering these, so if it's really for health and not for a garden feature you might think about replacing your existing bath. Here's one such firm, but there are many others.
