Don't gently caress in them or you'll get a UTI

Daughter “promises” to take care of it and do whatever you do with an exterior bathtub maintenance plan entails. I’d probably use it once or twice a year. They mentioned parties and I’m like wtf people gross.

Make a pro/con listing. How often will someone use it? How often will dead animals drown themselves in it? Will someone try to drown you in it? Also estimate the electricity costs.

I've been threatening my wife with bringing home a hot tub for years. But I realize I would die from spending too much time in it.

Boats and hot tubs are both huge loving money sinks and you already got the boat so 🤷🏻♂️

You need to balance the cost of buying and maintaining your outdoor mosquito garden with the amount of emotional capital you gain when you want something stupid, and expensive.

Also estimate the electricity costs. They will likely use it a lot. I think they come with covers. Unlikely as I’m not getting in a tub with girls. Gross. I heard a dollar a day of operation, which would mean like $150. Nit. Compared to purchase, setup, maintenance I bet E they’d have to use a crane to get it on the second story deck lol

It will not get used every day, or even close to every day, after the novelty wears off.

Tell them to build their own with a shovel. They can heat the water by putting their curling irons into the hole.

Start invoicing neighbors for HOA fees to fund the hot tub operation and maintenance under the assumption that burt in a banana hammock taking a bath outside is beautifying the neighborhood.

treat them to a night or two in a fancy hotel room with a hot tub in it every year and you'll come out way ahead in the long run

Hot tub maintenance is really intense if you want it to not be freakily murky and scummy. And the scary chemicals to avoid growing things in what is otherwise the perfect primordial soup make pools and processed frozen dinners look like organic kale. I wouldn't trust a teenager with it. You spend like 2 weeks straight trying to make it go back to normal after a party unless you ban drinks beside water and make everyone take a shower before. Otherwise if you have the weather for cold-hot-cold saunaing its a nice alternative to a sauna room.

Hot tubs are gross and if your daughter is in her teenage years she will 1000% have friends over while you are away and they will drink in the hot tub. The hot tub will never be the same afterwards. Build a sauna!

The hot tub will never be the same afterwards. I mean it's mainly this, which you're probably well aware of. I don't recall where you live (Midwest?) but it is pretty nice to hop into when it's cold out.

I want a sauna. I’d want a hot tub if it came with free lifetime maintenance to keep it from becoming disgusting. It’s a human soup maker.

-Get a 220v hot tub, not 110v- it'll heat faster and use less electricity to maintain temperature -Make sure your electrical service can handle the 60 amp or so service you'll need -Connect it to a GFCI breaker for ground fault protection -Use bromine not chlorine -Drain, scrub down and refill it every 4 or so months -Replace the filter when you drain/refill it -Use these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000O5Y46C/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 in your filter every 4 months This company on Amazon has some nice additives to counter the bromine smell and soften the water somewhat: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Spazazz&ref=bl_dp_s_web_20511170011 Hot tubs are loving awesome if you deal with any kind of chronic pain, especially in the Winter. It's relaxing, so  don't drink or do drugs when you're in it by yourselfGood luck and enjoy! -Hot tub haver since 2007

grillster posted:A good insulated lid really keeps the heat in quite well. It's awesome because the additional heat outside and inside gives you Immunity Versus Cold for like 2 minutes, so you burn footprints into the ice/snow on your way back in. Get a lid. Get a lid lift kit, too.

Yeah, good point- it's just my wife and I so we go au natural but with a family, you'll want to wash the swimwear/hot tub clothes twice through the washing machine with NO detergent, to make sure there is no residue detergent because it doesn't take much detergent residue to give you a ton of suds. Buy local. Contribute to your local economy. If you're an electrician, go for it, it's not impossible. If electrical work isn't your thing, it should cost around $1200 total, no more for the job, unless there's extenuating circumstances, like a crazy long electrical run. It will more than likely be less than that.
