We have had several for the past 20 years and truly enjoy relaxing in them after a hard day. For lower cost, try a Softub as they work really well and are quite portable if need be. We are on our second Swim Spa, 7'x14'x4.6' deep and use it year round here in Upstate NY. As an entry model, the Softub really is great. We had ours for about 6-7 years before we moved and gave it away to a buddy. No special wiring is needed as it heats off the motor and when drained, cam be easily relocated. If you are looking to just try one to see if you like it, I would suggest Softub. Our swim spa was $28,000 but fits a ton of people when we have guest/family visiting and we use it for excercise.
