My friends in the USofA have one. They brought it with them on their latest house move. She uses it several times a week, whereas her hubby rarely does. To maintain proper hygiene standards it does take time and money....always shower before entering, drain, clean and refill at least every month, check the chemical levels weekly and adjust accordingly.
I’ve spent weeks in there ! They live along Highway 50 in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada....hot in summer, cold ( often with snow) in winter. Our favourite time to use it is winter, especially when it’s snowing. Margerita time! Perfect for star gazing on a cold, clear winters night.
I don’t have specifics but it costs a small fortune to run, but for her it’s money well spent.
Another pal of mine had one on his patio. Used regularly by him, his wife and teenage sons. As his lads grew into their later teens they would hold hot tub parties on a summers eve. It was at this point that my pals wife sent him away on golfing weekends. No good for his BP. Just saying.
