If you get a hot tub Dotsie, besure to invest in a high efficiency one. Most dealers will tell you that they do not use much electricity, but they DO! Even the high efficiency ones will make your electric bill run $50-75 dollars more a month depending on what temperature you keep it set on. Invest in a solar cover for the hottub. This will help the heater not work as hard to keep the water warm in cold weather. And from what I understand, you have to clean it often and add certain kinds of chemicals to make the heater more efficient also. My brother has one and has been complaining about his electric bill ever since. I think his hot tub is going to be history.

I agree Dancer. Our hot tub is the ultimate healer for tight muscles and tired feet. Those foot massages are heavenly.
Dotsie just have to warn you; a hot tub means a lot of maintenance. They didn’t tell us that when we bought ours. You have to check the chemistry twice a week and change the water at least twice a year. You have to disinfect the tub and the lid, which is muscle work. If you don’t do it regularly the tub can be a carrier of even deadly bacteria. My husband takes care of our tub. It would be too much work for me.
Oh and we manage to maintain it without chlorine. We use oxygen tablets. That is so much better for the skin.

We're at a new hotel here in Portland, Oregon for a short vacation. THe shower head and water is such that it is large and comes out like rainwater --very nice, not a huge powerful jet and saves water. I like this!
Re: jacuzzi & hot tubs, I noticed on a skiing trip in the Rockies, I used the public jacuzzi near the pool for 3 days in a row. Great for relaxing my exercised muscles but after being in the hot water for awhile, my skin was starting to dry abit more. Which meant lots more lotion afterwards since my skin dries out more in colder winters!
