Having owned a concrete pool for 20 years I am well aware of the maintenance and costs, we are about to move into a new home and i am considering buying a SPA as i am definitely not putting in a pool for a few reasons inclusding mainly cleaning when im the only one who uses it now my kids are young adults.
what I would like to know is are there any downfalls with SPAS? I am aware of electricity etc but am wanting to know do you constantly keep the spa heated or only heat on the day you are going to use it?
The spa will sit on a hardwood deck however i am going to have the builder ensure it will hold the load otherwise the deck may need reinforcing.
If you connect the spa to off peak how do you continue to operate the spa outside of off peak hours?
Is there anything else i need to know?
Thanks in advance?
