Even more dangerous because the water temperature is higher. So they need filtration and chlorination to be safe. Plus lots of cleaning. People aren't prepared to do all the work/expense. Or the water drained down between sessions. Waste of space there are really, only halfwit would buy one. |

My wife went in the hot tub at a spa. She survived, but her swimsuit was completely bleached. Presumably, somebody at the spa had the same regard for simple maths as your customer. |

I guess if you fill them up once in a while and leave them dry, it's not likely that bad. OTOH if you need to keep them running, and have a lot of people in them, the chemical regime is as importance as a swimming pool. Forest of Dean log cabins have a hot tub (well some of them). They get checked every day for chemical balance and emptied and refilled every week. |

Much more important in fact just because there is a lot less water in them than with a pool and they run a lot warmer too. Forest of Dean log cabins have a hot tub (well some of them).

Of course they'll send a new hire with similar intellectual abilities. -- Windmill, Use t m i l l J.R.R.
