Hi,
I live in the north east and I am going to install a hot tub in my
backyard.
Please recommend a 3-4 person hot tub.

My primary concerns a
Durabaility: Alot of things can go wrong with a hot tub, I'd like to
buy one that runs reliably with the least maintenance.
Good insualtion: to keep monthly electrisity costs low.

Thanks!

Little story:

"2nd happiest day of my life was the day I bought my boat. The happiest day
of my life was the day I sold my boat."

"Boat" can be replaced with "Hot Tub" or "Pool Table".

I would buy an indoor Jacuzzi Bath Tub.

Hot tubs are a hassle to keep the water clean and balanced. Heating the
water is another story.

I had a hot tub and sold it after 1 year. It had several problems but I
learned that I don't want a stand alone hot tub. My "new" house (been here 6
years now) has a pool with a hot tub attached to the pool, and water
maintenance is a breeze. It has to do with the volume of water. For some
reason large volumes of water are much easier to keep clean and balanced.
When the tub gets "dirty", for lack of a better word, I can dump the water
into the pool and start fresh.

If you do get an electric HT make sure it's a 220 volt. A 110 volt will kill
you with electric bills. If there is anyway you can get natural gas that is
the way to go.

YMMV
