Hot tubs

[ollie989898]

disgusting things IMO

I would have no desire to share bath water with strangers

I dunno, depends what they look like.

I like a hot tub, and don't have any of the above.

I wouldn't however wouldn't want to be in a hot tub after I'd been in it. Remember one stag do we were at, filled it with washing up powder. Never seen so many bubbles.

They say a splash of fairy liquid does that aswell?

Do you think they draw more customers to holiday homes ? Enough to pay for them selves and running costs ? I estimate 1k year just to run one ? Thoughts ?

Why not go for the green option one of those log ones and then sell them the logs also

Who wants to sit in a biological soup?

Exactly !Think of the skin !

The water has to be changed after every customer.

Hence it’s no happening here , big enough job on a change over as it is without pissing about with a hot tub.

The skin would be least of my worries!

Think my wifes right i really am a horrible person.

You have to empty the water every week by law soon

I like to empty the bath each use !

I was working at some new holiday chalets and they had them, had a drain underneath and a hot water tap outside to refill between customers. I think it would draw people in, if we've gone to a hotel I've always used it.

At 10k plus at least 1k a year running I don’t think it would ever pay and just be a ball ache with air bnb as they are mainly short stay.

Slightly off topic, a few years ago when Hot tubs were new, I was at a new years eve party where the host had fired up the prized new posession. Some of the youngsters were having great fun and the host asked me if I would go with him and join them.
I looked at his 16 year old daughter and her school friends splashing away, and replied that I would love to but, for the fact that in the morning I would probably be down the nick and the divorce papers would be soon behind

You could always put it in if people asked, they came direct from jacuzzi the fitter said it was one they made for holiday homes but no idea how much they were.

£1k a year would sting a bit.

 

[Exfarmer]

I would think £1k per yearis very optimistic if you have to empty them every time.
This should not be neccessary if you keep the chlorine right as it will destroy any organic matter present very quickly.
This is what swimming pools rely on.

 

[Chasingmytail]

I dont get the attraction. Sitting in a bubble bath of chlorine then showering after? Wouldnt attact me to a property. Most people I know who have them dont use them the last one I saw was an unused one where someone had built the small conservatory extension around it. What a mistake-a to make-a. Prefer to see high quality fixtures and fittings.

 

[Exfarmer]

The trick with any pool is keeping the chlorine at the right level. As organic matter enters from whatever source, skin, urine, faeces etc the level needs raising to counter it , this should then be filtered out.
I must confess I do not like small children in swim nappies, they do not hold anything in just disguise it, you know quick enough after they have been swimming if you don't boost the chlorine.
A certain level of chlorine 1-1.5 ppm is essential to prevent algal build up but the entry of organic matter will remove that very quickly. This level is unnoticeable to the swimmer. Most public pools keep it a fair bit higher
I noticed in Australia most pools ban young children from swimming and I have a lot of sympathy with that view!

If you don't add chlorine or regualarly take it up to at least 60c you are asking for serious trouble!

Even if they are run by renewables , they are still an indulgent waste of valuable resources.
