Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have fibromyalgia and am in constant pain. The only exercising I can do is in warm (very warm) water. The swimming pool I was going to closed about 4 years ago so I wasn't able to get any exercise until it dawned on me to try one of these. I ordered it on a Friday and it arrived on Monday. Hubby inflated it after laying down 2 area rugs and a large tarp on the floor. Yes, I have it in my house, in the basement. I wanted the tarp spread out because no matter how hard you try to prevent it, water is going to get splashed on the floor, especially when you take the cover off. The cover not only helps retain the heat of the water but also keeps my cats out of it. We left it inflated (with no water in it) for about 48 hours to be sure there were no air leaks, then put about 6 inches of water in it to be sure there were no water leaks. I am now able to do some basic exercises without ending up in more pain. I absolutely love this hot tub. Even though there's no jets like the expensive ones, you'd never know it because the power of the bubbles is tremendous. I also bought the Intex PureSpa Spa Seat, which was a little pricey but also well worth it, since I'm only 5'3". Oh, and you really can sit on the sides.
