Hot Tub By Accident

I kid you not. I got a lovely hot tub by accident.

Let me explain that a little better. On my way to work I was rear-ended and suffered whiplash as did my husband.  So after physio etc we were blessed with a cheque from the insurance company.

So what to do with this.  Now I am not wealthy! Just a pensioner still doing a bit of occasional supply teaching and my husband is a retired Baptist minister.  We wanted to do something with this money that would be beneficial to us.

“HOT TUB !” I suggested.  “Oh far too costly to buy and to run and to maintain!” exclaimed the husband, ever cautious.

But off we went to one place after another looking for tubs. I can be quite persuasive!  The prices made me blanch. 

Undeterred I turned to the internet and that’s where I found Zspa hot tubs.  I was amazed at the prices and so I made contact with Arun. 

A few weeks later we went off to view a 2 seater hot tub which suited our budget and just the 2 of us. We liked what we saw.  It was small but looked like the real thing.

Arun was very attentive and helpful and saw us through the whole process including setting it the hot tub in our garden. 

That hot tub has given us such pleasure and will continue to do so for many years to come. I can thoroughly recommend soaking in a hot tub for arthritic aches and pains.

And what about electricity costs.  We have seen no noticeable difference and we have now been running the hot tub for a year.   We run it at  about 16°C and in the evening it gets turned up to 35°C about an hour before tubbing time.  Then it gets turned down again.

One evening round midnight ( yes this retired couple do midnight tubbing!) everything was very quiet and in the distance I could hear a roaring sound.

“Ssssh!” I said to my husband, “Listen to that. Sounds like a lion.”  Well I come from South Africa so I know what a roaring lion sounds like.

The roaring continued.  Yes it was a lion.  Here in the UK. Yes here in Stourport on Severn. You see we are not far from the West Midlands Safari Park.

Can’t promise that you will also hear lions when you are in your tub but you never know what a glass or two of red wine might do!!

I can unreservedly recommend  the experience to you and assure you that your bills will not go through the roof. 

That’s always the worry isn’t it.
