Look at these temperatures, what are they trying to do, melt the customers? Nope, just cook them. The coolest is 27C, you'd be pouring with sweat! http://www.ozswimmingholes.com/wa_warm.htm I don't pour with sweat when its 27C or even 30C either. When its over 40C, its much cooler in the water than out in the sun. I vividly remember going for a swim in the local pool early one summer and it was so ****ing cold I thought my heart might stop. The school kids were all there getting swimming lessons at the time. You just proved my point - "so ****ing cold I thought my heart might stop" - so you are a wimp. But I didn't die when the ambient didn't get above 10C for some strange reason. |

No. From my experience of the Forest of Dean log cabins: They make virtually no noise when just on the keep-warm cycle. Full power should sound slooshy and gurgly. It should not be loud, otherwise lying in one is no fun. As Wilkinson is Phucker then it is likely that he is confusing a hot tub with an aeration pond in the sewage works adjacent to the Hovel he lives in. No, M'neighbour said it's a hot tub.

It can't even run backwards. is the motor damaged, No reason why it would be damaged by running backwards. It would if water got into the bits it's not meant to. They can't. And those pumps can't run backwards anyway. Some motors can. Not those used on hot tubs. I'm sure the manufacturers all use slightly different ones. None that run backwards whatever happens to the wiring. How do you know this? I know how they work. How many ho tubs have you examined? Don't need to examine any, just know what motors are used. And even if it did, that still just sees the water go backwards and not as well as it does when running normally. A weak old man might get his toe caught and get sucked under :-) Nope, hot tubs arent deep enough for that. You don't get that effect with swimming pools either. is there a short somewhere that could have reversed the direction of water? There can't ever be. Any rewiring is possible if things come loose. But the worst that can do is trip the breaker or blow the fuse or see the pump stop working. One wire falling off something and touching another coil. The worst that can do is trip the breaker or blow the fuse or see the pump stop working. Not if it used the same current. That's why I said THE WORST. Think of all that vibration. But they are good vibrations, stupid. Only in the opinion of the bather, not necessarily the motor. Motors don't have opinions. You know what I mean! A relative pushing him under? Or that. Bruise marks. Trivially avoid by using a small cushion to push his head under the water and taking it away with you. Not everyone would think of that. Then those end up in jail and the ones who do don't. Are you implying billions of murders take place with cushions and we never know? No, billions don't want to murder anyone. And there aren't billions in hot tubs where someone can push them under water and drown them either. Pillows can be used in beds Even you should have noticed that there isnt a lot of water in most beds. or baths. If you try it in a bath you are much more likely to end up with bruises on the body of the victim as they resist you drowning them which would be a tad of a giveaway about what you got up to. Let's take someone murdering their wife in their sleep. Can a doctor not tell that the victim was suffocated, and has no other reason to have stopped breathing? Yes, but its different with someone in a hot tub where it will always be obvious they drowned, but not so obvious why their nose ended up in below the water when someone has had enough of a clue to use a small cushion to avoid any bruises on the head. There aren't many reasons to drown in water a foot or so deep. Enough tho with someone fainting, having a heart attack or stroke etc or their heart just stopped beating like happened with my next door neighbour when he was 30. Or everyone would be doing it. Nope, because most don't have any reason to kill their relative or even someone they know who happens to use a hot tub. I wasn't just thinking of hot tubs. Think of all that complicated murders that happen. Why not just drown them all in a bath? Makes a lot more sense to have the body disappear completely. Any modern first world country has literally thousands of people just vanish from the face of the earth every year. Some of those must be perfect murders. Industrial shredders on farms? Variety of possibilities. You can just shred the corpse and flush it down the dunny. You can bury it somewhere. You can feed it to the pigs. You can dissolve it and flush that. Which works best for you? All of the above. The locals are into salami pigs so there is no shortage of those. Even you haven't done that with your back neighbour so you can turn theirs off. 4 of them live there, I'd have to kill all of them to stop them using it. So what are you waiting for ? Your advice on best murder types. See above. |

Heart attacks can be spotted by the coroner. No heart attack or reason for going under yourself, someone must have pushed you. -- "Hi, It's a great day and I'm out enjoying it right now. I hope you are too. The thought for the day is 'Share the love.'" BEEP. "Um, yeah, hello? This is the VD clinic calling. Your test results are back and you're positive. Stop sharing the love." |

Pillows can be used in beds Even you should have noticed that there isnt a lot of water in most beds. You can suffocate with a pillow apparently. Sure, but that leaves obvious evidence that you have done that. With the hot tub there is no evidence that you have used the cushion to ensure that the nose is under water and so it isnt possible to distinguish that from something else like fainting or the heart stopping that caused the nose to end up under water and drowning like that. or baths. If you try it in a bath you are much more likely to end up with bruises on the body of the victim as they resist you drowning them which would be a tad of a giveaway about what you got up to. Why would they resist less in a hot tub? Didn't say they did resist less. But there is less close to them to bruise themselves on with the hot tub.
