@lesley82 well don't have one then but don't belittle someone who wants one, no need for it.

@calve free speach hun

---

@lesley82 but why would you bother saying anything then? Says a lot about the sort of person you are don't you think?  

---

@lesley82 very judgemental there is nothing wrong with owning a hot tub or being a council tennant unless you are mortgage free which l very much doubt you yourself could end up one day needing a council property. your insults/judgements say a lot about you  

---

@lesley82 *speech*

Answer 2

Yes, we bought ours after we was sold it as it only costs x amount to run. it costs a lot a month x

Answer 3

Yes. Our bill went up £100PM (hard tub).  

Answer 5

Mine costs about £3 extra a day when I use it

Answer 6

I have had mine a year now works out about 5er a day when using it

Answer 7

I spend about £8 a day on my electric and that’s with hot tub ok per day sometimes it’s more depends on what I do in the house sound cheap but it really isn’t tried it on low heat and everything else and never works c

Answer 8

We have a lay-Z-spa and costs about £1 a day to keep it heated and about £2 to run per half hour of bubble time!  

Answer 9

I have a proper hot tub Not a lazy spa I leave it on always and I would say about £10 a week So for £520 extra a year Definitely worth it  

Answer 10

Had ours for over a year and have it on 24/7 cost about £15 a week

Answer 11

Our hard tub costs about £60 a month maybe more in winter. they are an expensive hobby

Answer 12

Got a lazyspa to see how much it would get used. Normally the smart meter says £1. 45ish a day, with lazyspa its upto around £4. 25. Obviously chemicals to maintain it too. Dont cost to much but its still a factor, as you need to look after the water or possibly refill and reheat!  

Answer 13

See we have been thinking of getting one but surely they are designed more for the winter? So would only fully run them in the colder months? Duno I'm in two minds xx

Comments

@jipijapa we would only use one in the winter. Personally can’t see the attraction in the summer!

Answer 27

They're like trampolines now! Years ago you were "the nuts" if you had a trampoline in the garden. Now everyone has got one. I wonder what will be next?  Oh and I totally have a trampoline in the garden and wish I could afford a hot tub lol

Answer 28

Hot tubs are a luxury, they need maintenance, and yes they cost money to run. Just like a car really. I bought mine for hydrotherapy for my back condition.  

Comments

@regent231 has it helped ? Xx

---

@geese it does help, my muscles get tense supporting my back, that goes up to my shoulders and neck. The tub just makes the muscles more flexible, I get a better sleep xx

Answer 29

The cheap shit inflatable ones are expensive to run as they don’t retain heat when not in use so you either refill every time you use it with hot water or pay through the nose. mine is a proper one, well insulated, £350 extra insulated cover on top and it costs about 90p a day. running at 40 degrees 24/7

Comments
