Anyone have a jacuzzi/spa
My chiropractor suggested I get one to literally warm me up/get me loose in the morning-- because of old back problem that flare up at times. How much would my electric bill go up? Can you manual control temperature so that it's not using as much heat when you're not around? I also heard that they don't use chlorine anymore. Is that true?

2. I own a tub
Your electric bill will not go up to an insane amount I think my difference was $10.00.

With any newer tub, yes you can control the temp. In the winter I leave the heater on, in the summer I leave it off unless I am going to use it. It takes about an hour to heat up fully.

You do not use chlorine anymore, the filters are really good and the use an ozonater now days. Myself I do prefer to use the small chlorine tabs that bob around in a small releaser. I do it because we have alot of guests use our tub.

Ho tubs are awesome and virtually maintenance free these days! PM me if you want more info!

4. Haven't noticed a huge jump in electicity.
If you get one, get one with an ozonator. Less chlorine.
