Listen to Hillbilly! When looking at hot tubs realize you are looking at jetted tubs and very much different "spas". Sounds more like you are looking for a spa for some serious hydrotherapy and quality alone time with the Misss. I think one of the main advantages of tubs is that there's no water maintainence... you just drain them, but if you plan on dayly or frequent soaking, that could get expensive. So it's more of a targeted decision. Tubs are cheaper but have underpowered motors and may be more focused on fizzy bubblebaths than hydrotherapy...buuut I have seen (and been in) some pretty nice jetted tubs. As with anything you get what you pay for, quality/performance-wise. It will likely be NOT possible to test (get in with swimming trunks!) a jetted tub displayed at the HommesDepot, but very likely you CAN get in a spa at a dealership. This decision could easily top $2 grand installed and you want to be happy. "Wet testing" is the #1 way to get confident you are spending your money well. Don't scrimp on a fan either! A noisy fan could ruin the whole experience... now we're back at the HombreDepot. Moisture can be more than just damaging it can be a health risk along with the chemicals/gases given off by maintaining your water. Do a search on here for a post on "indoor pools" and the health risks... I believe some government agency did a report. A nice *deep* spa can be very important. For me this morning my neck was "cricked". My hottub has an over the shoulder seat with neck/shoulder jets... 5 minutes later I was healed. The frustration with jetted tubs is trying to submerge yourself below the drain overflow to get a full body effect... not very relaxing with a bad back. Oh yeah and measure to make sure whatever you buy will fit through doors or windows into your basement! ok...i see i confused everbody (including me) with my post......i'm interested in a spa ....not a jetted tub that would be installed in a master bathroom ...i want the water ready for me first thing in the morning when i roll out of bed ...i wake up with my own crickes in my neck and back often .....sorry for the confusion the way it looks i will probably end up with a two person spa for hydro therapy and it will be installed outside ..i was concerened about the moisture and how to vent ...but i didn't think about the chemical odors .thanks for the reminder ......... .i do have more questions tonite ..... when looking at spas should i be looking for the most jets ....and the biggest hp pump? thank you all for your input......... paul

thanks b0darc i was eating a sandwich when i just read your post and nearly choked when i started laughing...now that 's funny ! anyway..i need/want a hot tub to sooth my worn out 43year old aching back..i know the value of hydrotherapy( it feels goooooooood) ....i wanted a single person tub maily because of space limitations but if a double is the way to go i'm sure the wife will jump right in thanks for the laugh... any more insight on a basement install would be helpfull too.. i'm mostly concerned with moisture control ..paul I'd look at some of the small corner shaped 2-person spas like these: http://www.calderaspas.com/Spa_Showroom_Ho...b_aventine.html http://www.solanaspas.com/showroom_tx.html http://www.marquisspas.com/spa_rendezvous.asp http://www.sundancespas.com/680Series/Tacoma.html Listen to spatech he's the man! think 2-person ...even if you are elderly, nothing makes friends faster than a bubbling hottub. If you're lucky there's a liquor store between your house and the bingo parlour... see Pauly these are jokes, but if you are single there's nothing funny about a hot tub for ONE. Now... if you are married and have 5 kids then a hottub for ONE in the unfinished basement is hysterically right on the money. What were we talking about? oh yeah. A warrantied installation is important and don't forget to get detailed info about the electric hookup (!!$$!!) When the Misss and i were looking we found quite a few choices just at the local Home superstores (more tub-like), and Spatech covered the spa brands perfectly well. Seriously though, Best wishes for improved health... hydrotherapy is real, and in this realm you get what you pay for ...not a time to be cheap, this is for you.

hi...i'm looking to purchase a single peson tub for therapeudic purposes....i want to install it in my finished basment ........i've been told by my local sundance dealer that the solo is no longer available ....... ...i'm in ri .........thanks paul
