So, I kept the hot tub in my garage, and it has given pretty much flawless service. I started using a non-chlorine shock treatment on a more regular basis, kept an eye on the bromine tablets, and subsequently have been getting a month or more between water changes. Quite happy about that. So happy in fact, that at the end of the season, when the price of the spas went down, I bought another one to keep in reserve. What I did not know at the time was that the model has been updated, and there is one quite significant change.

The new hot tub is shallower. I’m 6’3″ so that is not fantastic as far as I’m concerned, although I can deal with it! It’s probably going to be better for kids and people who aren’t that tall. Another change is that the walls of the hot tub are thinner – not the material, but the distance between the outside and the water. This means that although it’s shallower, there’s more leg room in the tub, making it more comfortable I guess when you have more than one person in the tub. We are absolutely in love it has helped us so very much through all this time if even just to relax!
