Lazy Spa - Hot tub
Discussion
i think it depends on how you use the lay-z-spa, I've also bought a proper one, haven't really got much data yet has only had it about a month, first impressions appear to be that the costs are about the same, however that's with just leaving the new one set at 38degrees 24/7, i was quite religious with the lay-z-spa around optmising turning it down, even off when not in use. I think that if you run the lay-z-spa at temp all the time then a proper tub would cost you less to run, though its gonna take a while to recoup the initial uplift in outlay! (and i bought a "cheap" one too!)

I bet it uses as much electricity as everything else in the house! Electricity bill will double, whatever the ad says..
My arctic spa costs about 50p-75p per day to run. I use it 5/6 times a week mostly after sports and its worth every penny twice over. They aren't expensive to run at all in my view.

Cedar soaking tubs here, much more peaceful, natural timber which is far nicer to sit against and the cedar smell is always there.
They are the entry point into hot tubs and a good way of seeing if they actually get any use. We had a Vegas before I made my own sunken tub with ASHP. Cedar soaking tubs here, much more peaceful, natural timber which is far nicer to sit against and the cedar smell is always there.
Better to spend £500 and barely use it than £5K.

each to their own I guess..Even in Cedar I sunk ours into the decking to loose some of its dominance.
I did use the Lay z spa heater/filter To heat ours originally but they were incredibly unreliable and the std system needed resetting every 24hrs, now use separate heater, filter & bromine delivery system.

We went with a bargain Aldi tub (Quarantine Tubatino!), had a bit of early trouble with foaming but have the balances under control now (granules worked better than the supplied tablets!), & I think they are a GREAT way to try these out without breaking the bank!
TBH, our property outlook doesn't have views to really warrant a 'proper' tub. I'm sure a cedar tub would be a delight, but Tubatino will do for us!
Just managed to get my new hawaii setup at the weekend due to waiting on a wooden outhouse being built
I dont know if i'm being paranoid but it seems to be losing air. Topped it up twice since the weekend. No visible leaks.
I chucked my old one due to leaking air
Any suggestions would be appreciated
