Good morning, and thanks for asking, lauraloumiller100. The retail price for this MTI Jasmine 3 soaking tub is $5,610.00. There is the potential for savings from the retail pricing from our distributors. Contact info for a distributor convenient to you can be accessed from our dealer locator at http://mtibaths.com/dev/dealer-locator/. Thanks again for contacting MTI Baths!

Thanks for asking, hollymills14. Not only do our cross-linked cast acrylic tubs not cool the water, but their significant layers of titanium/fiberglass/resin reinforcement adds additional strength AND increased insulation. If you like a very long, hot bath we also offer inline heaters which will maintain a temp of about 102 indefinitely and Radiance surface heat system that heats the acrylic. If you would like to email any other questions to me at info@mtibaths.com, I would love to send you the specs and other information. Thanks again for considering MTI!
