Use of hot tubs in summer.

Ours certainly cooled us down a treat. Ours is in full sun. After we use it in the evening we turn it down a few degrees ready for the day time. Make sure you have a thick quality cover. 

Do you live here, or only come out on holiday? Because they are more trouble than they are worth if you are refilling/setting it up every time you come out. We got rid of ours for that reason.

We live here now so it'll be in use constantly 😎

Hi we have just bought one and i admit it has been a pain so far, would you recommend getting " a pool cleaner " to pop round putting chemicals in etc during the time we are not there, would that get round the problems you think ?

I have a lady from a pool company that goes in every week to check water levels ph etc. She empties cleans and services it once a year. Costs me €20 a month. Well worth it as also it's a check on your property weekly. 

Thank you

thats exactly what I am looking for could you send me her details, I would be so grateful

Hi I am in a different area and don't think she goes that far out. Talk to people in your area and hopefully you will find someone that will do the same. Good luck. 

A couple of points about hot tubs:

Firstly, the temperature is controllable, so in summer lower it to cool you down (say 28°C) and in winter up it. However you should never exceed 38°C as the bodies temperature is 37.4, so can cause dizziness and blood pressure problems by raising beyond this.

Secondly, when we leave our tub to return to the UK I up the chlorine levels to ensure it stays clean untill we return. However, this is usually for around 4 to 6 weeks. If the period was considerably longer I'd either drain and refill or get someone in to treat.

Hope this helps?
