    I've had 3 jacuzzies
    started off with a small 4 seater part exchange it 2 a six seater then part exchanged that to a massive chivy 8 seater with built in tv and dvd player
    personally i would try to buy local to where you live so that you have someone to speak to and get to know if there are a problem i wouldn't buy unless i could go to the show room easily also if you buy locally ask about part exchanging and will they do that as you might want to upgrade

    you may have to factor in craning it in over your house
    ( we did twice) which can be around 250 -300 if you don't have access to the garden ect

    electrics done for a different amp as it needs to be hard wired and outside wiring plugs ect r something can't remember the exact thing this was around 250 as well we used our own electrician for this

    your electricity bill will go up a bit as it always on ( our was )

    treatment wise we spend around 20 -30 a month that with
    bromine, descaler, ph minus & plus stuff and defoaming stuff and bit and pieces this is off the top of my head as my other half deal with it all

    you will also need steps and cover although these are often thrown in with them

    get the best one that you can afford as well as there are some !!!! ones out there - when you go to look at them sit in them and get a feel for the seat we only had our 4 seater one 6 months then upgraded it to the six seater which was (imo) better than the 8 seater that we have now for power
