I put a small cholorine tablet in a floater once a week and some occasional spa up.

In a former life this would be a consideration but at our house we have rheumatoid arthritis to contend with and crawling over a side or even utlizing a staircase is difficult at best. THUS the idea of a walk-in tub sounds more appealing. Have done the spa thing at friend's homes and it's difficult...plus the ride home after and having the suits to deal with too. One doesn't realize how difficult life is with an "invisible disease" and the handicaps that go with it. Even crawling over a side that's "low to the ground" may be difficult. Now...if it were 25 yrs ago we'd be talking a different game. I hesitated asking the original question as I figured there would be ALL the speculatory answers and the ones of "this is what I'd do" instead of actually answering the question of "what has been your experience with...." The new tubs are quite different than even 5 yrs ago with having the "chill" etc etc. etc.
