Having been in the hot tub industry for 10 years, I often neglect the basic facts surrounding owning a hot tub, sorry. Many people are pleasantly surprised when I tell them how much it costs to run a hot tub and how easy they are to maintain.

I am often asked what the risks are of using a hot tub when pregnant. I am asked even more often if it is safe for small children to use a hot tub. I've decided to put my thoughts down for people to weigh up for themselves and make their own decision - that is what this is - my thoughts, experience and facts from research that I have read.

Sometimes it can seem daunting to ask questions face to face. I know when I am buying something, I don't want the sales person to think I'm stupid, so often do not ask the most basic questions. I hope no one ever feels they cannot ask us questions when they visit our showroom - in fact, I know they don't - but just in case you are a little shy, here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions when buying a hot tub.
