Hot tubs are even worse. Never get in a hot tub that young children have used.

Seen some pretty messes in hot tubs used by adults too. Just keep the chemicals topped up

Cheri Donna DawsonSep 6, 2010[quote]Hot tubs are even worse. Never get in a hot tub that young children have used.[/quote] Young children (under the age of 11) shouldn't use a hot tub at the temperature that it's meant to be as their body core temp rises too quickly. There has been at least one case of a child's death in the 1980s due to that,ReactReply - NUNudeInNewJerseySep 6, 2010[quote]Seen some pretty messes in hot tubs used by adults too.

LifeHappensSep 6, 2010I don't like hot tubs at all. Cold tubs on the other hand (50d F) are great!

Cheri Donna DawsonSep 7, 2010NIM, There was a hot tub in a park that is no longer in existance. Whenever I would get into it, I got an infection. My personal hot tub on the other hand has never caused one. There are some personal ones, I would hesitate, but MINE is better than some parks.

Infections - Been there done that. I now politely ask when the water was last changed or checked.ReactReply - MEMemberSep 7, 2010
I have a hot tub and I know the effort I put in to keep it clean. Therefore I don't use public hot tubs. I don't trust them to put the same effort in.

M_JimmieM_MSep 22, 2010not only do some of the hot tubs look unsafe at public places but swimming pools can be scary as well.

Cheri Donna DawsonSep 23, 2010[quote]I will never understand why people want to have a bath in their garden.A swimming pool YES.[/quote] Because a pool cannot be used all year long. A hot tub is great to soothe aching muscles/back, and relaxing in 24/7/365.ReactReply - ER

Srcon28Jun 14, 2011I love my hot tub, I keep on top of maintenance and use natural biologic (silver) filters and only oxygenating chemicals. That being said, if it wasn't for my hot tub, when I had knee surgery in the early 90's, I probably wouldn't be able to walk today. Having the surgery in winter, I needed the hot water to break up scar tissue inside the knee once the sutures healed to gain range of motion. My wife was a godsend helping me across the icy deck in February. We had some good laughs at my 'lameness' at that time. Good memories from a hard time. Hot water helps a lot of maladies when used correctly. Having a hot chocolate while in the tub during a gentle winter snowstorm has to be experienced at least once!

NoneJun 14, 2011I met a lady through my work that was responsible for testing hot tubs and swimming pools in parks and camp grounds. I asked her what she thought of a well respected public camp ground ( Good Sams Club ) that was in our area? She said she would never use a public pool or hot tub ever again!

JohnSep 4, 2020[quote]Hot tubs are great but as a general rule, don't get into a hot tub that isn't your own well maintained tub, unless you're happy to get out with more than you got in with.[/quote] Never heard it expressed quite that way! But if it's a person I know to be competent at maintaining the tub, I don't have a problem with it. Public pools and hot tubs are a different matter, though.ReactReply
