Considering A Home Improvement
By Marisa | March 20, 2008
I am so wanting summer to get here soon. I want to go swimming!
I really miss not having a pool in the backyard but it was just getting to be a pain to keep up. The kids would rather go to the public pool with all there friends (and away from their mother) so mostly, it was just me in the pool most days.
Anyway, I was thinking of filling up the jacuzzi tonight but it always takes so long to get it filled. We made a huge mistake when we bought it. It’s huge - like 5′x7′ - but it isn’t a hot tub that stays filled with water and chemicals. You fill it up like a bathtub, and drain it when you’re done. I guess it’s like a giant bathtub. Or a double bathtub with jets that make bubbles.
Because it’s so big I have to fill it up to a certain level and then wait about 45 minutes for the water heater to heat up another tank of water. And that’s a gas water heater! Imagine if we had to wait on an electric one. I was hoping to find a better way to fill the tub and wanted to look into tankless water heaters. I wonder how that would work if we used it only for the jacuzzi. I believe we’d have a choice of electric or propane and I think propane would probably be more cost effecient in the long run.
I’ll see what the husband thinks. Since we won’t be getting a new pool in the near future, this seems like a reasonable trade off. For now, at least
