Yes that's the one
Was lucky enough to get the Spa audio included when we purchased , It's worth every penny & the sound is awesome , Even under the water
Not a cheap optional extra @ £1500.00 iirc

Two things prevent me from getting one. First off, why do they look so cheap? Surely, the manufacturers could come up with some better looking plastics? Secondly, I can't get my head past the fact that you're basically taking a bath with other people.
I'm sure it's relaxing but not really my idea of fun, especially with the hygiene angle.

I dont bother with music I just chill out with a bottle or two of fine wine
.I have found a supplier of the chemicals needed for its upkeep loads cheaper than hotsprings have a look
Swimming Pool Spa and Hot Tub Chemicals
Delivery was spot on a well.
All the lad's were a bit worried when I asked them round but after one dip I cant get rid of them now
Its one of the best things as a family we have ever bought.
Just one thing about yours....... GET THE ROOF OFF.......

If you went to the swimming baths or gym you would be bathing with other people.The water is checked daily for ph,alkalinity,hardness and chlorine and it is constantly putting the "chlorinated" water through an ozonator and filter cartridge,the water is "shocked" once a week(kills everything) and filters cleaned so there is no hygeine issues as long as you monitor your water.
Tiny,i love your idea of glazing the Pergola,thats a stroke of genius which i might be tempted to copy .We were not sure whether to leave out in the open or build a Gazebo (but wanted to be able to see the sky at night).We've had some torrential rain the last couple of days so not really used the tub,but your idea gives the best of both worlds.
I'll be going in the tub just shortly,with a couple of beers....ahhh its a hard life

Were on our way out now
Kids as well , This day & age it's great that we all get to have " Family time " 20/30mins reflecting on the days events , It's great to get the kids away from their PS2 's , Computers etc ... IMHO - One of the best Family Household purchases we have made also

We got one in September and its great. Have ours at a steady 37c and its perfect. Steve built us a house around two sides of it and that's just fine. Soooooo heavely to sink into the hot water and just ............relaxxxxxxx ! Ahhhhhhh.
Not quite with you Afri about the dosing equipment. We find we have to adjust the Bromine according to how many people have used the tub. 7 seater.
Money well spent.

I still haven't seen one that doesn't look as if its made out of cheap plastic from the 1970s. There must be some decent quality ones out there, surely?

Just found a couple of pics of ours,
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/08...3/SuperTub.jpg
There's Steve and his folks having a whale of a time.

We prefer a roof over our tub, but it's open on two sides so we get the best of both worlds.
Just had another beating in it and feel invigorated.
Flatcapdriver. The very nature of water means that eventually ....even if nobody actually got into it...... there would still be bacteria growing in it . That's why all these chemicals are necessary. What do you think happens to your drinking water before it comes out of the tap ?
There's no one more fussy about hygiene than me, but I keep a close eye on the levels in our spa and we never seem to have problems.

Must admit I don't understand the attraction and it does remind me of fondues and swinging.
I get hot easily and don't like my fingers getting wrinkled. Also if I want social interaction we'll sit around a table or lounge and talk rather than sit half naked staring at each-others nubbins.

Tiny, we have stepping stones across the garden to the "tub house" and we wear flip flops for extra cleanliness control. No foreign bodies in OUR tub !

Is it just me who thinks Swingers with this thread?
Sorry folks. Looks fun though. Mind give me a hot tub in an alps ski resort, a few bottle of champers and some hot swedish women... now that would be 'tubbing'!
