    New or used Hot Tub / Spa research in a post lockdown world

    I've been a TFP member for about a decade now when my family first dived in literally that long ago. We are now looking into a Hot Tub which I was happy to see there are plenty of forum posts. With the events that have happened in the last year plus, I have some questions to ensure the...

    Too much DE?
