Jacuzzi Tub: Is it worth it?

9 years ago

thinking of taking out my old tub. Is it worth the money ? Will it up the value? Are people putting them in the houses?

We had one that I used two or three times in 12 years. It took forever to fill up and used an entire water tank of hot water. We've since moved to a house with a smaller jetted tub that I have never used. We got a jacuzzi hot tub outside that rarely needs to be refilled and that stays hot all the time. We use it every dat. This is in California with severe drought restrictions, but even if that wasn't an issue, I feel guilty about using all that water for just a 20 minute soak at most. Unlike the hot tub, the bathroom jacuzzi gets cold after a while.

AND...the worst, is cleaning it. Those jets, unless you do diligence, get gross.

Waste of money, IMO.

If it is a therapy soak you want do a hot tub...now I don't mean invite the entire neighborhood over, we do not use it for a social get-together...we have had 3 Hot Springs brand. My husband is strict...shower first...get off the deodorant and hair spray.

With regular maintenance, you will have a clean, great soak.

Hmm , when was the last time I used my tub? Nope, can't remember! Not a selling point for me!

Maybe it depends where you live. The thought of jumping in a warm, jetted tub after a cold day in the snow is just lovely! Like Maureen posted, some love it, some don't. I don't think it will change the value of your home much if you sell it but you might want to run it by a realtor.

I love mine. If you are considering it though, I don't think I would love mine if we didn't have a separate hot water heater for the master bathroom.

I don't think it would affect re-sale negatively, though but that's just my opinion.

Had one and did enjoy it - but - very noisy when operating (not relaxing at all).

Wouldn't do it again. Just a reg tub - not jets is fine.
