I just started looking at spas and Really don't want to spend ten thousand dollars for a spa( hot springs) is the one I was looking at.We live in the midwest and there isn't a lot of hot tub retailers local.I would like to buy a good dependable and reliable tub.Is there such a thing in the $6000-$8500. dollar area.Any suggestions would be much appreicated.I want a lounger for sure and since it gets really cold here in the winter ,one that does'nt cost a arm and a leg to operated.Really don't care about the stereo option.New to the hot tub idea and really do not want to learn the hard way.Thanks in advance
