We have a Master Spas Twilight 67.25 4 seater, installed 2017.

It has been a great help for sore muscles and stiff backs. We also like the master blaster foot massage jet.

This unit is 220v, 275 gallons with two pumps and about 28 jets.

Maintaining the chemical balance has been pretty easy, and our well water is actually very close in pH and alkalinity to what is best for the system. I don't think I soend more than 50-70 bucks a year for chlorine, pH adjuster, flocculants and anti foam.


So far it's been very reliable, only adding 16-25 bucks a month to our electric bill.

I have sore shoulders every morning. Standing is a hot shower really helps - if it gets too bad. I know a hot tub would help. But - the initial cost, upkeep and everything else. I'll stay with hot showers. Also - I have a very heavy duty hooded sweat shirt. Throw it in the dryer for five minuets - instant relief. Light Polar Tec jacket under a hot sweat shirt - I'm OK for the remainder of the morning.

We've had a hot tub since we bought our Mississippi place in 2011. Probably used it 4 times.
I also prefer a "warm dry garment" rather than climbing into a warm soup.

I have had three hot tubs over the course of 35+ years. Love them all year around and sadly currently going without. I think the key is to locate very close to your master bedroom so you can easily slip in/out. Our location is on a private deck and only a couple steps from a sliding glass door to our bedroom. I use it at about 3 times times a week usually just before bed but sometimes earlier to soak off some aches. It sure helps me sleep! Winter is great time too... even in the snow.

In fact, we are in the market for a new one as I had to finally get rid of the old one that was here when we bought the place 12 years ago. Our problem is the delivery and placement. I had to cut it up into pieces and throw it over the railing and haul it away. The new one will probably have to be placed using a boom truck over the house!
