We are in the planning process for a backyard remodel and originally had plans for a 40X18 rectangular pool and a gunite hot tub cascading into the pool...pool would be heated.
Anyhow, the PB has just about talked us out of a Hot Tub.
My wife and I really like them, but he says it goes like this: Year 1 you use it a lot, Year 2 you use it about half as much, Year 3 you don't use it much, and Year 4 you want it gone.
He says he refuses to cascade into the pool as the chemistry of hot tub water and pool water is too different and he thinks it is better to just keep the waters separate.
He is an advocate of a pre-fab with stone veneer VS a gunite due to the ability to get more jets, etc.
Of course, as he says, he is willing to do whatever we want as he makes more money.
I have been lurking around this site for a while, and I'm curious what the pool and hot tub pros out there think.
Thanks for your insight.
