Had one for a while, got rid of it when we had kids. Scared of them getting in it and drowning.

Anyways, upkeep was pretty easy. Just keep the floater with chlorine tablets in it and shock it after each use. Ours was the jacuzzi name brand and we were happy with it.

Love sitting out in one when its ice cold out.

Cool, thanks. I'm mounting the old 42" plasma on the back of the house so I can watch the foosball while I sit in it. Redneck heaven.

We had a standalone hot tub when we lived in Kansas and I loved it. Up keep is simple! If you bring a sample of your water to where you purchase your chemicals they will test it for you and tell you exactly what you need to add.

Spend as much money as you can on a spa. you can get the cheap ones at Home Depot but they won't last. Where do you live? If Charlotte, I would go some place like Rec Warehouse to look at spas. The two most important things to look at in my opinion are pump size and amount of jets. Once you find a spa you like and can afford, ask to test it out. Most reputable spa dealers will let you come back after the store has closed and actually sit in the spa.

Let me know if you have any specific questions and I will be more than happy to answer them.

Whats up Bo? Stay away from Rec Warehouse. They sell cheap tubs that fall a part. They will not service the tubs like they promise in the warranty. Many of the tubs are built specifically for Rec Warehouse so you can only get service and parts directly from them. They in turn charge about ten times the normal rate because they know you cant get parts anywhere else. I bought a tub from them several years ago. I had 13 service calls in the first twelve months and they finally told me that they would not come out any more although the tub was still under warranty. I spoke to the president of the comapny in Florida and he suggested that I just sue them. The tub sat empty for a couple years and I recently sold it on Craigslist for $500.

      Interesting: Former CAR RB Mike Davis Harshly Criticizes McCaffrey, Calls Him "Selfish as Poo"

      By CRA · Posted

      Mike Davis is like yeah, why would these coaches expect me to watch film on our next opponent if I'm playing good.  Yeah, I really don't pay attention to a lot of stuff around me if I'm doing good.   also Mike Davis, how dare they give all the reps to CMC.  from just listening to that interview, I think Mike Davis likely was often in Mike Davis' way and he can't comprehend that aspect.  Even his story of why he hated people.....was weird.  He hated Steve Spurrier because Spurrier was like hey Mike, Marcus Lattimore left...and we need you to step up into that role/void and be more for us.   And Mike Davis was like, can you believe that motha trucka!! Nah Steve.  Just give me the ball and leave me alone (paraphrasing it all obviously but that was the gist).

      Unless he's 1,000%, just sit him an extra week at this point to let him get his legs back under him. I want to see him out there as much as the next guy, but this was a serious thing and I'd rather wait an extra week than put him out one day too early and risk something going wrong, play the long game for once.

      God, these posts are really starting to piss me off If we're relying on Moore, Idzik, and Canales to carry that weight, then we're royally screwing over our young WR room.  It's not that those guys can't help with some of it, but these young promising WRs are going to miss out on a lot of learning that can only be provided by the vets on the team.   You do realize that coaches spend ZERO time in the locker room, right?   They are only in there just before games and at halftime, but the rest of the week, they have their own locker room, they only spend time with the players on the field and in the film room.  There is soooooo much time that you're leaving unaccounted for where players are working together to get better. Players are constantly talking about their game and how they can improve while they're in the locker room.  If you think career long special teamer David Moore is going to be able to carry that water in the locker room, then you're sorely and woefully mistaken. Even beyond that, if a coach pulls a player aside to give advice between series, that still means there are 4-5 other WRs who aren't getting individual advice, where that's normally a time a vet like Thielen is going over with them what he's seeing out there and how they can do X, Y, or Z to do A, B, or C better on the next drive.
