Whirlpool Bathtubs Are A Dead Trend?

[panasonicvac]

I just recently deep cleaned my hot tub again, still would take a jetted tub and clean it out with bleach over a hot tub. I do love using my hot tub, but between replacing this hot tub and the bathtub in my main bathroom, I'd rather upgrade my bath tub instead which I may end up doing once the bathroom gets renovated. The master bathroom was just redone recently and there were thoughts of upgrading the bath tub, it's been put on hold since it still works fine. I'd like to upgrade mine if I can get a reasonable deal as it doesn't have the jets for my feet but it does in the master bathtub.

One of these 1980s solariums, with a tub like Alex's inside it, and I'm sold. I'll never leave. lol

Mine is in a gazebo with plastic windows so the cold air doesn't blow on you, I really like sitting out there during the winter because it traps alot of humidity inside and if it gets too humid or too hot, you can open up the windows. And it makes it even more relaxing whenever it rains and you can hear the rain drops on top of the roof. The whole thing is getting replaced minus the hot tub due to hail and wind damage. But I'd rather take a gazebo over having a hot tub inside the house. One of our friends up at their cabin has one in their basement which I think is a crazy idea.

I think the enclosed gazebo is ideal, but not when the storm is producing hail and strong winds.

If you turn on a stuck hose it's going to unclog by turning on the vacuum.
You have to push what's out for example using the blower port.
So use the same logic pushing and pulling water inclogs jets.
It is what I do and it works. It only makes sense if you don't think about it.
You keep doing what you do but realize you can skin a cat 100s of ways and nobody's wrong not even a child.

As long as insurance is covering it which they are for mine, I honestly can't complain. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to enjoy the humidity and feel the cold breeze outside all the time if I didn't had one. In fact my hot tub didn't always had a gazebo, it was later added on. I'm gonna see if I can get a gazebo where I'd be able to easily take the walls down for accessing inside to service the hot tub, it's a real pain in the butt on mine.

Suds question

Can people who have jet spas or similar take conventional baths with soap and shampoo? Are they for water massage only, because I would imagine the bubbles could get out of hand and beyond with a little too much lathering of soap on ones body. Is that a thing or what?

I don't think so.

Where I live has a hot tub, but the landlord is removing it due to lack of use. Even panasonicvac aka Alex wouldn't blame the landlord.

I tend to not like a whirlpool type bathtub. My problem is to be comfortable to soak in for a extended time, it needs to be a oversized bathtub. Takes to long to fill for a bath. Also, seems like a constant fight to keep the water warm enough.
Oddly, I like a bath with something that will moisturize my skin. Which is something you shouldn't use with water jets.

Taking a bath is kind of bad manners where I live in the desert. The aquifer is seriously over drafted and water use has to be reduced because we are just pumping the aquifer dry. Short showers are the rule. We have a big whirlpool bath but never use it. It has become a playground for our two cats.

You could always get it removed.

I've thought about it but don't know what I would put there in its place. The big windows for our bathroom are right over the whirlpool tub. I am spending a fortune building a huge garage in our back yard for my motorcycles, restored vintage Audi and the vacuum collection so that is where all my extra money goes for the foreseeable future. The garage project has been going on for quite a few years. The electrician will finally be out this week and then I can get the final signature on the permit. After that comes fire sprinklers, plumbing, drywall, workbench and cabinets. It's endless. The cats can enjoy their fiberglass playground for a few more years I reckon.

I have a big shower recess separate from the tub.
