My neighbour behind me has bought a hot tub in their back garden. It sounds like a small engine, or a motor that's lost it's bearings. And they leave it running 24/7. When I complained politely, she wasn't aware I could hear it! I could hear it from her street, through/over her house.

Are hot tubs meant to be loud?

No, generally it's just the occupants.

Oh they're loud alright (especially after much alcohol), but that tends to stop at 2am and they bugger off if it rains. The pump runs all bloody night. It reminds me of the noise my pond pump made (quite a large one to power a fountain and a decent waterfall) if the water got too low and it sucked in air. Leaving it running like that for any length of time ****ed the bearings.

Are hot tubs meant to be loud?

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.

TBH, they are great once in a while (eg above, on holiday - we went last
in winter, and I made a hot gluhwein punch and we sat in it getting mashed.

But I think they would be a bit of a PITA to actually own - the Forestry
bloke was around every day testing the water and they did a full
drain/refil once a week.

Pooftahs. Rain and slow is the best time to be in one. You're wet and
warm. The air is cold. It's a marvellous thing to do.

I have never heard water, just a pump that sounds laboured.

Come to think of it I've heard someone else's a year ago, and there was just a very faint bubbling noise.

TBH, they are great once in a while (eg above, on holiday - we went last

The above neighbours are always mashed, or they sound like it anyway.

Don't you just chlorinate it and use a filter?

Not always loud occupants. My partner's uncle took to a hot tub in the
last few months/years of his life - after he was widowed. Seemed to

Unfortunately he then died in his hot tub - and was not found for a few
days. Very, very not loud then.

Ah Cavitations, that famous Cliff song that did not win Eurovision.

Often the sound of these things is down to a poor choice of mounting. I have
seen them mounted in decking with the pump also attached to part of the
decking, the result is a sounding board effect.

Surely unless they are deaf they should be driven mad as well, and who
leaves the thing going when its not needed, do they have free electricity?

She said "Hot tub". I said "I can hear it at night in my bedroom with the window closed". She said "I'll get him to turn it off at night".

I assume they leave the heater on so they don't have to wait to get it up to temperature. And the heater requires movement of water. You'd think there could be a lower setting for that though, when bubbles aren't needed.

Mind you in the middle of summer, why would you want to heat it? Even lakes are almost swimming pool temperature (last one I measured was 19C)

If you're surrounded by body temperature water, the heat your body generates cannot escape, and you'd overheat. I'd not call that comfortable.

When swimming, I prefer 15C or less. If just sitting around in a pool, 20C or less. Remember, you can't sweat in water to cool down.

No-one knows if it contributed or not. Circumstances made an inquest
necessary but given his age, his health record (he was hypothyroid and
almost certainly under-medicated), etc., it really wasn't a completely
unexpected death.

Did the hot tub kill him or did he just happen to be in it?

No-one knows if it contributed or not. Circumstances made an inquest
necessary but given his age, his health record (he was hypothyroid and
almost certainly under-medicated), etc., it really wasn't a completely
unexpected death.

An inquest into who? The manufacturer, incase the jets magically started sucking instead of blowing and took him under the surface? A relative pushing him under?

Mind you in the middle of summer, why would you want to heat it? Even
lakes are almost swimming pool temperature (last one I
measured was 19C)

Because hot tubs need to be near body temperature to be nice.

If you're surrounded by body temperature water, the heat your body
generates cannot escape, and you'd overheat. I'd not call that
comfortable.

When swimming, I prefer 15C or less. If just sitting around in a
pool, 20C or less. Remember, you can't sweat in water to cool down.

Inquests are held into deaths not products.

"An inquest is a legal investigation to establish the circumstances
surrounding a persons death, including how, when and why the death
occurred.

In some cases, an inquest will also try to establish the deceased
person's identity.

The investigation is held in public at a coroners court in cases whe

a death was sudden, violent or unnatural
a death occurred in prison or police custody
the cause of death is still unknown after a post-mortem (where a
body is examined after death)

A coroner's court is a legal body that helps determine how, when and why
a person died. Coroners are independent judicial officers who are
usually lawyers or doctors with appropriate training in law.

Unlike criminal trials, inquests don't try to establish whether anyone
was responsible for a persons death. Evidence is given by witnesses but
there's no prosecution or defence.

When an inquest is held, the coroner must inform the deceased person's
next of kin or personal representative. "

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.

Nope.

It would remain in the hot tub regardless.

No reason why it would be damaged by running backwards.

is there a short somewhere that could have reversed the direction of
water?

There can't ever be.

Trivially avoid by using a small cushion to push his
head under the water and taking it away with you.

Nope, because most don't have any reason to kill their relative
or even someone they know who happens to use a hot tub.

Even you haven't done that with your back
neighbour so you can turn theirs off.
