My new toy

[Meldrew2]

Coming today.........

Being delivered as I type...........

My new Hot Tub!

These girls were in the brochure, but the two blokes in overalls who are delivering the hot tub look nothing like them.

Should I complain?



PS.... It's just started RAINING!!!!!

Do they come free with the tub ? or are they an "extra"

Which make/model did you go for ?

 

[Baron_Samedi]

No, just ask for a discount

Do they come free with the tub ? or are they an "extra"

I think that if they came free, Mrs Meldrew would have something to say about it......

Which make/model did you go for ?

A Coyote with a few options... like a 4kw heater to keep things hot (my old one was only 2kw, not up to the job in winter) and some shiny chrome bits.

I don't think the girls were even on the options list.......

The girl option was deleted by your missus before you got the brochure

Meldrew2, is your hot tub open to the elements, or do you have a summer house type thing?

Sorry to be nosy, but is installing a hot tub a lot of grief? Thinking that wiring and plumbing may be a hassle....

I would have asked for the girls and they could keep the hot tub:bannana::bannana:

'NOT AS DESCRIBED' or 'NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE' would be the relevant phrase for trading standards !

It will be open to the elements, but in a sheltered part of the garden.

Our first one (bought in 2001) was originally open, but after a couple of years we had it enclosed... big mistake. It's far nicer on a pleasant evening to sit in the hot tub looking at the night sky.

Wiring..... some tubs will work on a 13 amp supply, so wiring is fairly simple, but they only have a small heater, so they can struggle to be hot enough in winter.

This new one needs a dedicated circuit... seperate fuse box, armoured cable etc... costs about £300, but the larger heater means that it can get back to temperature quicker.

Plumbing... none needed. It fills via a garden hose (we have had an outside tap fitted from the hot water pipes in the house so we can fill with hot water) and empties (every 3-6 months) via hose into a nearby grid.

Running costs.... about £20-30 a month, electricity & chemicals.

Not to be used for ritual sacrifices... the blood makes a mess of the water.

Those girls look quite fit for the purpose I have in mind.........




..... bringing me a cold beer while I recline, then passing a fluffy towel.

Nice!! I quite fancy a hot tub too - fancy myself as Colt Severs!!

Jnr and Baby D (6mo) have been in the pool this week - Baby D's first swim - which I've missed, so I left work early yesterday to be back in time to join them.

Even when the children were out and in bed I don't really swim - bob about and talk - there's just something special about being in water in the open air - especially in the evening or at night. Enjoy!!
