To be falling out of love for the hot tub?

[saltwinds]

We bought it last summer when lockdown hit. At first it was great.

It’s now becoming a pain, keeping it clean and lid on / off, washing swimwear. I also find DH wants to go in it all the time and I don’t! AIBU to dislike it now!?

@queenofthenorthwest wow. That's an impressive set up.

Well, this is great. I was a bit bored of it and fed up of the work involved. Now I know I and my family are dirty, disease ridden chavs.

@Lippy333 what bY calling people chavvy and slating the nhs , great contribution
Just why the need to call people chavvy who have fake grass , when in some instances there is good reason for it.
Hot tubs don't appeal to me either and I work more than 2 days min wage and couldn't actually afford a lazy spa inflatable one as they are still several hundred pounds and more than I can afford to spend

It’s like sharing a bath with multiple people. If I had one I would make sure everyone I shared it with had a long shower first.

I only share it with DH

There seems to be a lot of hot tub knowledge along with the bare on here, a bargain has popped up on marketplace and says it’s missing the filter housing, it has the egg unit and piping from the looks of the photos, I just can’t figure out what the filter housing actually is! Any ideas?

@saltwinds my friend had one years ago and said the worst thing was the maintenance and how time consuming
You don't have fake grass and live in a terrace as well do you ? Otherwise you tick all the boxes

When I was a child there was open air swimming pool in my town (sadly gone now) and the water for it was pumped directly from the river. It was chlorinated (probably...) but that was it, no heating, so it was icy cold. The small baby pool was heated so every so often we’d sit in there u til we could feel our feet again. There was leaves and bugs in it. It was amazing. In all the years it was there there was no sick people.

@waleswhaleswails

We built it ourselves I'm so proud of my DH.

He did the build I did the interior.

Do you want to see it from the outside?

I've always thought they were a bit chavvy

We went on holiday a few years ago to a cottage that had one and I didn't go in it once. It just doesn't appeal to me

@queenofthenorthwest yes please!

And maybe a shot of the bar! Our garden is tiny but I love the idea of an inside outside room

I know you think you're doing a good SJW hatchet job, but it isn't as though I have an issue with people in smaller houses or who have chosen to buy fake grass (though the latter is nothing to do with money and is a matter of choice and IS a bit chavvy)

The point I was making is that some people spend very little then seem to expect some kind of Disney experience. Doesn't happen.

A point I was making is that people perhaps need to be happy with what they can have - appreciating that the precise germ content of one's hot tub is very much a first world problem - especially as it is available to anyone in the UK who does 2 days of min wage work.

Speaking of support. I think some people hang around looking to have an SJW "poor shaming" or "class shaming" go at someone - like gloaters at hangings. That is you. At least I was contributing to the discussion[/quote]
I love my chavvy fake grass, as a person with a physical disability it means my kids can use the garden and it doesn’t look like a jungle.
Check your privilege.

We don’t worried but fear not I now know we are dirty disgusting chavs, fit only to socialise with others of this level

YANBU, I don’t know how anyone can be arsed with them, giant paddling pools.

I am sorry your thread has gone so completely awry @saltwinds! If you don't want to use the hot tub anymore I'd be tempted to tell DH it's his job now.

And ignore all the other crap. Anyone who uses the word 'chav' is not worth listening to.

We hired one for a few weeks and that was enough to put us off having one permanently!
Kids in and out of it leaving dripping wet puddles everywhere, soaking towels which I was always bloody washing, was glad to see the back of it 😁

Were are all these terrible diseases coming from ,I'd it's in your own garden ,and only your family use it ?

Known as ‘piddle pools ’ by my niece 😳
No thanks. Warm human soup 🤢

I've hired one a couple of times, for a few days at a time. It's fun for a while, but by the end I cannot bloody wait for them to come pick it up. I'm quite anal and can't cope with the wet footprints on my wooden floors, damp towels and swimwear, kids leaving their drinks etc outside.
And that's without the maintenance of owning one!!

I absolutely love my Chavy sex pond! LOVE it! But then we have no bath, only a shower and I'm riddled with arthri to is so it really helps. I have mine set up all year round and wouldn't be without it. As for maintenance.....I empty and refill it every 3-4 weeks and then swap the filter and throw a table spoon of chlorine in it after every use. That's it. Takes about 40 seconds a Day and half an hour to empty and refill. I've even got a super duper chavvy gazebo set up too. I bet the neighbours HATE me.

Pretty much

And to be clear, we rarely use the bubbles. Not that the neighbours would complain, it would break up the nose of the constant sex wouldn't it? I just like to float about like a fish. And man loudly about my chlamydia to my mother and grand children who are also in the Csp with me
