Everybody wants a hot tub these days, it seems. And to be honest, when you look at it, it's kind of confusing as to why. They are expensive to purchase, expensive to maintain, and for what gain? To sit in a big pool of heated water that has a few massaging heads? If that's all one wants, a bath tub is much cheaper and easier to maintain than a hot tub. So there must be some kind of pull for people to want to buy a hot tub….but what is it? There are many possibilities, of course, but I believe they can be narrowed down to two things.

If you have ever laid an outdoor patio or decking and hooked up an indoor washing machine, you are well placed in knowing how to install a hot tub. Having said that, although installation is a breeze to the above average diy'er, it still requires a lot of planning.
