[QUOTE="Up Y'oars, post: 66624, member: 764"] I own a 7-person hottub and still enjoy it, when I get the chances to hop in. I usually sit in the tub over 30-minutes, if not a full hour. The number of jets is one factor, but more importantly is the amount of h.p. the pumps can push through. I have two G.E. 5hp pumps, a pump for one side and the second pump for the other. If you're getting a 6-person tub and it only comes with one pump you're not going to enjoy the necessary pressure against the back muscles as much as you'd think would be there. Being one pump short might be why the cost of the hottubs are much lower in price, as they alone go for over $600. Also, living up this far north, look at how think the cover is. I just tossed my 4" cover after nine years and got myself a new 5" cover. Living outside of town and being on the rural electric system the monthly rates are approx. $35/mo to keep them heated and ready at a moments notice in December. This is the first winter that I've 'winterized' my hottub. In hindsight, it's probably the worse year to choose that!! The temps outside are amazing and I can remember many nights of dashing IN the tub and quickly dashing OUT after a relaxing session. Last note for your consideration. In the privacy of your own place, think about utilizing your tub in the buff. Why? Well, when you get out of a 101-degree hottub your body retains that higher temp for a couple minutes; your trunks DO NOT! It won't be two seconds and your trunks will turn 3-degrees. Do you know what 3-degrees does to the jewels, my man?????? Case closed.:;:sorry ;:;popcorn I can imagine the proceeding comments... ;:;popcorn [/QUOTE]
