My mate got one in his back garden in his midlife-crisis post-divorce bachelor pad. Cost him £10k. Sound system, lights, etc...
When he first got it I asked him how much it cost to run. He said "I dunno".
Turns out he didn't do the bills at his marital home, that was his wife. He also didn't know that he had to do meter readings. First 14 months of his lecky bills were on estimates, then he got called to do a meter reading. Got his proper bill shortly after. £9k.
Ouch. The tub is now drained, and nobody wants to buy the fvcker.
Risky gets around this by keeping his hot tub at ambient temperature and never turning the jets on. He should probably have called the OP "Tubs of stagnant water".
Christ. Can you imagine being hanners estate agent? They're all bullshitters but putting a spin on spunk and faeces has got to be a challenge for any of them.
Friends of ours spent £2k on a second hand hot tub (second hand - ewwww) shortly before the first massive electricity price hike. They used it a couple of times until they realised how effing expensive it was to run and haven’t used it since.
Hot tubs of the UK grubby sex pond variety are absolutely disgusting things. A proper Japanese ofuro fed with water from a hot spring is a glorious thing though.
I do love them - they are amazing to have drinks in, with friends, while it is cold outside.
That said, how much does it cost to run them for around 4 or 5 hours?
I once stayed in a very nice play in the Cotswolds that had a hot tub heated by burning wood - it worked really well and I imagine is by far the cheapest way to run way. Very nice smell from the burning wood too.
Confession from Bailey time - we bought an inflatable one for the end of the garden last summer. A week before the really hot spell arrived. I was v v v v v anti having it but my OH had always wanted one so i acquiesced.
Pros- in that hot weather going outside and standing in it in the afternoon was bliss. Getting it at around 7pm with a glass of wine was heaven.
Cons - we have little clawed kits who LOVE water, not an epic combination with an inflatable item. It survived. Just. Also, and this is the gross bit, it gets green algae in it, even with a cover on, so you have to clean it a LOT. Which is, as set out above, grimsville. Oh and the grass where it sat was terminated for months and only just grown back.
Maybe it will have developed a puncture over winter...
They're for the nouveaux riches and cash-rich chavs who drink Echo Falls so-called wines.

If one had the cash and had to spend it on leisure products then an upright piano would be a better bet, and has more classe. That, plus piano lessons or self-teaching with books and on-line videos would still leave you more left over because there are also no water and electricity bills, plus paying someone to clean out the diarrhoea stains.
With a piano you will have a better calibre of friends rather than boisterous nouves, or people who behave like that/ who take advantage of your hospitality.

A hot-tub is a v bad idea. Very TOWIE.
