I love my spa the best purchase I have ever made for me. I thought New York Winters would make me regret a spa but I’m in it nearly every night or day no matter what the weather. The water is 104.0 and you don’t even feel the cold going in to the house. I also love the look on my neighbors faces when they see this half naked wet women out in her yard sitting on the side of her spa while there in the snow in coats scarves hats and gloves freezing. I do have a awning over part of my yard. But, the Christmas music paying, family and the colored lights with a glass of eggnog this Christmas was magical. Beautiful and easy to set up.
