Use to have a huge regular hot tube that came with the house. That thing was a huge pita. Use to be in my enclosed patio taking up most of the space. After several years moved it outside to this area. Still the stupid thing would leak like crazy and was always broken. Had not used it in probably 3+ years. Finally decided to get rid of the stupid thing.
Picked up this inflatable one on amazon, its awesome! Just big enough for me and the gf. Easy to setup and maintain and when we leave for a while can just deflate it and put it away in case of hurricanes or what not. Plus if/when it breaks it's cheap enough I can just buy another one.
