We’ve had a pool for a long time and we wanted a hot tub for years. As far as Barefoot is concerned, the energy usage was a big deal for me. Once I got the quote on the utility usage to expect, I felt more comfortable. I was trusting those numbers were right, and they are. In fact they are a little less than what they said. Very efficient hot tub. Also, very easy to use and take care of. I only wish mine had less jets. I don’t like to have them all on at the same time and on full blast. It’s uncomfortable for me. I like to just soak in my hot tub.
