I have to take a large bottle of cold water because I tend to get hot, too hot in the water. But I love it. I have to figure out a way to bring music with me. My tub is too old and doesn't have the new fancy feature of music IN the hot tub. I have to jerry rig some thing to get music that wont wake up the whole neighborhood!adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954642302458963986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-322633642106455190.post-67563049880554490292013-04-01T11:32:58.800-07:002013-04-01T11:32:58.800-07:00Hooray for this news, Adrienne!

Do you dive in the hot tub before going to sleep as well? :) I think it is one of the most effective ways to calm the nerves, ergo, helping you doze off easily. Works better than a glass of hot milk for me. :D Cathy Newmanhttp://www.sunsetpools-spas.com/pool-company/pool-construction-highland-parknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-322633642106455190.post-45788917138310497862013-03-09T10:35:06.714-08:002013-03-09T10:35:06.714-08:00Wren, I am glad this saga is over too! Tonight is ...Wren, I am glad this saga is over too! Tonight is the night. About the cost, since we haven't run it in over five years, I will have to see how much it increases my bill. I don't remember much of a difference when we used it and when we didn't BUT we moved in and used it right away, then had major construction and had it turned off. Then it was basically a new house so I can't compare the electricity bills. Also the economy has changed drastically in five years. The cost of electricity has increased. This a long way of saying, I will have to get back to you once I turn the heater up and run it for a whole month. We have had the heater on but at a cool temp while we have not been using it. The company brochure claims the hot tubs don't increase your electic bills significantly. We will see. <br /><br />You have a great weekend. I will be doing tax prep.

Wow, that does sound good. My mom has a hot tub--when they bought the condo, the tub came with it, but she and my late dad had no use for it. They drained it and there it sits, dry and unused. Mom has offered to have it serviced and fill it again, but her electricity bill is already very high, and I don't want to be the reason it goes even higher.<br /><br />So I guess all that rambling is to ask: Does keeping your hot tub heated cost much in terms of electricity? Mom's tub is the same size and basic design as yours...<br /><br />Have a terrific weekend, Adrienne! Enjoy!L."Wren" Vandeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03587456557210335403noreply@blogger.com
