I agree with Steve B. If you want something that works well and you
will actually use, get a real spa and put it outside or in a finished
basement area. I think they are far superior to the bathtub type and
would go that route unless you can't for some reason.


I use my spa a lot. I don't use either of my Jacuzzi tubs at all. I like
the convenience of the spa, and when you soak in it, the heat goes down in
the muscles. In the tub, you have to make the water hot, and it cools off
faster, and just doesn't seem to be as relaxing for the same amount of time
spent.

Like the man said, unless you have some reason NOT to have a spa, they're
better than a tub.

I have to redo the bathroom so I figured a tub is easy as long as I'm
already having the old one replaced. A real spa would be nice but the
bathroom isn't big enough for one. It would have to be in the basement
or outside and I don't think it's really practical. The tub idea
appears dead simply because of the cleaning issue. I just keep hearing
that over and over. And there are so many conflicting stories of what
is safe and what isn't.

I think the Conair Thermal Spa Bath Mat looks like a nice compromise.
