anyone have a hot tub/spa?

hot tubs are a blast!!! the newer ones don't use much electricity, and chemicals aren't really that hard at all. less work than a cat...

I've been toying with the idea of getting one.

I have a finsihed room behind my garage (about 12x6 i think ???) thats carpeted and all that and leads to the laundry area/hot water tank.

I've been thinking about putting a hot tub/spa in there.

But, I know nothing about them.

first, I'm a lazy shit.... err, busy ??? no lazy is better.... so if it required a lot of up keep, its probably not for me. So hot tob owners, what all is involved in maintaining one?
is it a huge power/electricty eater?
do you turn it on only when you use it, or leave it on all the time?

don't bother. My brother is out weekly keeping the chemical balance in the water, it's always on, and during the winter you need to keep the lines and pipes from freezing and bursting. Knowing how lazy you are, it would be more trouble for you than you'd get use of it.
