3 years after I bought it, I'm finally going to finish the basement bathroom and put our $4,000 tub in. (got it for $1,000) Hopefully within a month it will be complete

Do you know how much good that would do for my wife's arthritis? I envy and admire you. :nod:

I have the same tub, we hardly ever use it. Takes too long to fill it and it wastes a lot of water.

One thing to keep in mind is the need for a heater. Using the jets will cool the water down at a rapid rate. Having a built in(to the tub) heater solves the problem. We also have 2- 50 gallon water heaters. Ours gets used 2-3 times a week, my outdoor hot tub is empty right now.

My sister in law just had a tankless water heater system put in. Pretty impressive. Unlimited hot water. Pricey.
Biggest complaint in my house is timing it right to have enough hot water for the jetted tub. :frustrated:

We have it as well, but I think your doing it wrong. You need to invite the neighborhood over for a bath. Then you can get a lot of bodies in there and it will fill fast and save a lot of water. :nod:

Wow. Really nice. My wife and I are trying to get a house we call our own, yet alone an awesome shower or\and bath.

I've got a high recovery 65 gallon heater (I plumbed it in myself)
It puts out 100 gallons of hot water in the first hour. :2thumbs:

It's big enough, you guys can both fit. Perfect solution.

I'm guessing you will hang a curtain around the tub. I ended up putting in a seperate shower.

We're giving it a test run before it's mounted in.

Great project.

We've had a hot tub in the yard for about 10 years (at 2 houses) and it's just great. It'll give you a martini habit, though...........
