We have a lay-z-spa one that goes up in spring time and goes down in the autumn. Had it 3 years now and no issues at all. The kids are in and out of it daily, and we sneak in for a relax at night.

Upkeep is changing the filter every few weeks and chucking in a chlorine tablet as necessary. Not difficilt

Got a lay z spa tub a few years ago. Great for relaxing in the evening. On hot days turn the temperature down and dip in to cool off.

Very little maintenance with them.

Roughly how much are they to buy??

Think ours was about £600 but there is cheaper and more expensive. Just depends on size and brand really

"Roughly how much are they to buy??"

This time of year is perfect as shops want to get rid of the summer stock and these take up loads of room. I think we got our 6 seater lay-z-spa for €300 or so at this time of year. Check out homesavers.

"We find the winter nights the best as long as it's not raining she snow and frost it's mighty refreshing "
- 100% agree with that. Had one in a previous home years ago, and it was brilliant (winters there weren't as harsh as here though)

some where near

We have one that has fire box for heating up

Takes about a bag of timber to heat up over 2 hours or so

Electric air bubbles and lights

My partner fills from well water supply

No chemicals needed

We let the water off into the garden

Use it on weekends mostly

Was expensive to buy but low running costs

As in scrap builders timber which I have in storage

My partner does the hard work filling it cleans it and I supply the timber lol

It's lovely on a frosty night looking at the stars

I'd be worried without any chlorine in water, the bacteria will build up over time

That makes sense

The electric ones need to be maintained at a warm/hot temp (because the heating up time is longer than with wood) and so are more likely to be a nice temp for bacteria buildup. It's handy being able to just hop in to an electric one anytime though. I guess there are positives and negatives as with everything
