"I meant replacing a regular bathtub with a jet tub, not buying an outdoor hot tub--which, delightful as they are, cost $$$ to buy, refill, heat, and maintain." - alstromeria

We don't have room for it. Our bathrooms are not big enough to accomodate a jet tub.

Plus I'm a big guy and I don't fit down in a bathtub too good. I take showers. I have a standup showerstall in my bathroom.

Another words what I'm trying to tell you is that if I get any kind of warm jaccuzi action going it would have to be a regular outdoor hot-tub.

Believe me I've thought this through pretty thoroughly - many times.
