Re: Digest Number 1426 hottubs rec

hi!

webought our hottub used & it works just fine!

don't feel that you have to buy new or that the warranty is necessary ---

a hot tub is just a fiberglass tub with a pump & lights--make sure that

works & sounds good w/no leaks! most people have one without really using

it much so buying used makes sense!

also, we use the Baqua products instead of chlorine---much easier on the

tub & your skin
