Hot Tub reccomendation
 
Interested in buying a four person hot tub for lanai. I know nothing about them. Any advice appreciated. Places to purchase.

My wife wanted one and we bought it from Spa Kingdom last year. We had never had a spa before and as I projected, my wife used it for the first month and has rarely been in it since. While I am satisfied with Spa Kingdom, I wish I had put the money towards a pool. The temps here rarely get cold enough to really enjoy a spa and during most months (April-November) we do not have to worry about keeping the heat up on the tub. Just with the sun and concrete it regularly runs 94-98 degrees.

We have had a Hot Springs salt water hot tub from Spa Kingdom for 4 years now and had 1 up in Michigan for 10 years prior to moving to Villages,, very satisfied with it. Use it at least 5 days a week, good way to warm these old bones up to start the day. The salt water tub (Ace System) requires very little chemical additives to keep water clean and ph correct and water is much softer than conventional tubs. We jost turn off heater when it gets too warm out and it still works great!!

Thanks for your insight. Is your hot tub in ground or above. What is the cost comparison between the two?

Thanks our last house had a salt water pool and we enjoyed it.

We bought from Spa Kingdom about 5 years ago, a MAXX 871 and i love irt, still use it 3 to 4 times a week. I have T&D pool and spa take care of it weekly, $75/mo. It is on the lanai and looks as good today as it did when new. Send me PM for additional info.

Researched a ton and decided on Bullfrog brand. Went to T&D on 466 to look at and got pricing. Called another dealer in Orlando named Unique Pools and Spa. Went to their warehouse showroom (nothing fancy) and saved 35%. No regrets.
