Hey everyone. A friend of mine wants to donate his 6 person hot tub to me. He bought it for around $11k ten years ago and has hardly used it outside. It needs a new cover.
What are your thoughts on this? My wife and I definitely want a jacuzzi, and this above ground version would be really nice.
I was wondering the following because I have no idea...
Do you care for the water just like the pool, using TFP methods?
Assuming the thing works nominally, does it heat itself, or do I need to somehow connect it to my existing pool heater?
How much would it cost to get a crane to lift it out of my friend's back yard and into my back yard?
How much does it cost to transport it from his house to mine (roughly 10 miles)?
If we don't use it, do we just turn it off, or does a pump need to run once a day like my swimming pool?
These are just the basic immediate questions I have. I will read up in our forum on the care and maintenance of a hot tub in the next day or so.
