Personal or Public

If you're asking about public hot tubs with the pools, I would imagine the cost of cleaning, maintenance, and repair. More than likely you'd never to get in it anyway with our population.

[Bogie Shooter]

I bet they would not be used.
Ever seen anybody in a private hot tub?
BTW I get enough germs touching the shopping cart at Public.:jester:

I know a few people that have hot tubs in TV. They might be hard to see since they're in the backyard or in the case of the two on my block, they are inside a birdcage. They're popular in the CYV communities since many don't have room for a pool.

Libility.....Greg there used to be quite a few hot tub/spa businesses where you could rent them by the hour....every single one closed in our state due to people becoming infected with others medical issues. At 103 to 105 degrees many germs thrive and no matter that chemicals were used the tubs weren't sanitized after every use.....and that is what would have to be done to keep them safe for everyone. So if they had them at the community/adult pools you can visualize the issues that would be caused since the older you get the more medical issues that could be transmitted through hot tubs.

I hope that answers your question.

We aren't clear about your question as there are many private hot tubs in The Villages.
I believe there are a couple of public hot tubs in Historical.

OP, several of my neighbors have their own hot tubs, including us. We have never had a problem with germs, as we keep the chlorine/bromine at the proper levels, and we like the temperature a little cooler, 100 degrees during the winter, and heat OFF during the hot summer. The water typically settles at around 80 degrees during the summer, and we this to cool off! I have not been to the public pool yet (3 years). As mentioned above, even with a road to the back of our house, you probably will not notice the hot tub due to screening and plantings, and the color of the tub. As for public hot tubs, these are very small, usually 1000 gallons or less, and as mentioned, easy to harbor germs, and would probably require a separate system to keep them germ free. The other concern maybe access to these, as most you need to climb in and out.
OP, IMHO, if you want a hot tub, get your own, Spa Kingdom (441 and 466a) has an excellent selection. Plan on $15 to $20 per week maintenance, unless you do this yourself, and changing the water at least once per year.
Hope this helps.

The public and priority hot tubs are cleaned and checked every day.... 365 days a year. The ones I have seen here do have a separate system from the pool for filtration and heat. Don't know about the private hot tubs. (if anyone doesn't understand "DON"T KNOW" they can look it up.);)

A couple of the priority hots tubs are LARGE. Common sense would dictate that like most other things here.... they are well maintained. They were not put in to make people sick. They were put in for people to safely enjoy.

We just spent 2 months, 7500 miles and 15 states in the desert SW. Every resort had a least one hot tub. It'd be nice to have one at Mulberry in December when it is 40 degrees and you're coming out of the pool. We're renting a 'country' villa for 4 months starting in November. The unit has a solar pool but I'd wish it were a hot tub!

[Mudder]

The country club pools have hot tubs next to them, some are large. Like others have said they are maintained just like the pools. There is also one other one on historic side.
Of course resorts have hot tubs, The Villages is not a resort, it's a community.

Thanks for posting. I've been wondering if a turned off hot tub can function as an inexpensive plunge pool.

Thank you, I stand corrected, we appreciate the clarification.

[Greg Nelson]

Me too. We are working on a process of elimination. The brown SW was eliminated. This will be our third winter visit to the northern Villages. Rent in December $2,000, January $3800......might be time to buy..

[NotGolfer]

I know of at least one hottub, which is in the historical side of T.V., but apparently there are more with the CC pools. With the latter you'd need a priority membership and I'm not sure that cost would warrant that.
Have any considered putting (inside their house) in a whirlpool tub?

Having lived here for a number of years the idea of sitting in a hottub in the winter months doesn't sound great. I'm thinking of when one gets out and towels off, that the air would be really cold and uncomfortable thus eliminating it's benefit. But that's just me.

[mixsonci]

They have hot tubs at some of the Priority (CC) pools -- Orange Blossom and Hacienda Hills

[Bay Kid]

I have one, but don't use it. I wish it belonged to someone else.

If it is not built in, put it up for sale. If it is built in, one of the neighbors was thinking about either covering it, and using as a decorative feature or converting to a water feature.

There are three hot tubs in The Villages but only available with the premium pool membership which gives you access to the pools at the Country Clubs. Orange Blossom Hills, Glenview Champions and Hacienda Hills each have a jacuzzi. Check this link out ---> Golf The Villages (http://www.golfthevillages.com/pools/)

none at Mulberry

Not accurate. Southside Neighborhood Pool has a hot tub and its not part of a CC. Anyone can use it.:wave:

[Greg Nelson]

When coming out of the Mulberry pool in winter when it is in the 40's would sure be nice..

BUT...what do you do when you want to come out of the hottub??

[Greg Nelson]
