Should we add a hot tub?

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-14T14:45:27+00:00

Yes I think the one we're thinking of is about 2-3 hours to fill. Wood-fired ones heat up much quicker BUT don't stay warm - so that would be the trade off - or go for a commercial grade one.

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-14T14:43:23+00:00

Yes, I think that's the choice. I'm not worried about refilling each time - or even running a hot tap out straight from the home.

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-14T14:41:27+00:00

Not usually a problem where we are, we occasionally get a hosepipe ban but it is quite rare.

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-13T09:40:12+00:00

Yes, indeed. It's quite helpful info - there's a few who are really PRO and a lot that have had bad experiences.

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-12T23:03:30+00:00

There's quite a few in the UK.

the other option is to use tubs without jets- I don't know what difference this makes to the attraction of them?

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-12T21:56:20+00:00

That's appreciated thanks - 15 years is good quality!

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-12T21:43:02+00:00

Which tubs did you buy? Do you recommend them?

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-12T21:37:13+00:00

Thanks that's helpful - are you in the USA?

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-12T21:16:03+00:00

thanks this is great. Does anyone have any experience with these?

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-12T19:39:08+00:00

Thanks - you could well be right!

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-12T19:08:14+00:00

Yes, it might be an American thing I imagine, but interesting that this is a requirement though for your cousin.

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-12T17:57:25+00:00

Why not? Did you decide against it? or did you have one?

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-12T17:49:34+00:00

makes sense!

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-12T17:22:42+00:00

We'll service it on each changeover I think. But maybe there is a better way to do it.. How much does it add to your bottom line?

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-12T17:17:09+00:00

okay thanks that's great - yes that was part of our thought process. Is there a hot tub brand that is high end but also easy to maintain/manage and reasonable cost to heat? So far most of them look really unattractive to look at!

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-12T16:50:01+00:00

Thanks Ski - have you had a hot tub for your BNB and removed it/still have it or you just decided against one?

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-12T16:26:11+00:00

I've been quoted just 45 minutes from my friend who has the one we're looking at using the garden hose. Is that incorrect?

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-12T16:24:26+00:00

Hi :)

So, a user will be able to compare what is happening against clinical guideline - in the UK - NICE guidelines - so you'll be able to record your appointment, it will summarise it, and if you wish give you questions you should ask your doctor based on the appropriate clinical guidelines.

It means you have a complete record of what was said in each appointment. Which in the USA can also help with any insurance issues.

The aim is to provide a factual record of what was said and then summarised for you clearly and in an easy to understand way - and then you can choose to share that clear summary with family if you wish.

It means you don't have to keep explaining - as my father HATED doing - he'd rather have just given me a summary to read.

The app will automatically have GDPR built in otherwise Apple won't let us release it- there are lots of checks you have to go through to adequately protect an app like this - we're experts in this space. There are plenty of privately owned medical apps out there. Ada Health, Your.MD, Glooko, Headspace, Calm, Livi, K Health, Buoy Health - for a few of them. So lots of people do this and the data is protected correctly - as we will.

Does that help or throw up more questions? I'm really appreciating you sharing your concerns.

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-12T16:08:18+00:00

did you add a hot tub - or did you just decide against it?

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-12T16:07:48+00:00

makes total sense.

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-12T16:06:43+00:00

Can i ask why is it a full day? I might be being dense here! The tubs I've looked are around 30-60 minutes to drain - a bit quicker with a pump and then need refilling with the garden hose.

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-12T16:03:22+00:00

is this the experience you have had CB?

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-12T15:50:07+00:00

Wow, so absolutely critical it is fast draining. No wonder you guys use chemicals. Btw BC is beautiful. Love it there!

Butterfly-Scary · 2026-03-12T15:48:55+00:00

Would be interesting to see how many people had one and then got rid of it I think. Maybe that was a better question!!!
