* No questions really, just wanted to share with everyone here. *
As some of you already know, my wife and I got a used hot tub a little while back. For the tub, control pack, and 2 pumps, we paid $150. I had to get materials to build the frame, and had to replace the plumbing between the heater and the circ. pump. While I was at it, I put in a water hose bib to drain the tub since it didn't have one. This way, I can just hook up a hose and drain it wherever I want, without having to siphon the water out. For the tub and all materials, I paid at most $375. Not bad, huh?

Here are some pics of the tub, the ones taken at night didn't come out well, but I tried.

I already have to replace one pump, I'd rather not make it both.
