Can a hot tub be a cesspool?

ooberlovel

I was drinking a few nights ago in an in house hot tub with 6 people in total. When we awoke in the morning 5 of us had fevers and body aches. Obviously it cant be hangovers. If one person was sick could it be the hot tub that spread the diseases?

Answer
Hot tubs are conducive to the growth of microorganisms for several reasons; its difficult to maintain a stable free-chlorine level due to higher temperature, a higher concentration of organic material due to larger number of people per volume of water and the aeration from the jets. Folliculitis and pneumonia due to Pseudomonas, Legionella and others bacteria can thrive in this water.

Does anyone know anything about Durasport Hot Tubs?

Chris

Hello,

I am trying to get a hot tub without breaking the bank. The industry seems kind of esoteric but Ive done extensive research and found a brand called Durasport (which also goes under Strong Spa and other manufacturers)

The good it it seems to be exactly what I want- a 4-5 person spa that is relatively easy to move and cheap- and it is plug and play AND if things work out it can be rewired for 220 volts for better operations. But I cannot find any reviews online- Amazon doesn't sell these- wayfair only sells one model (I think) and google for once can't help me out.

So if you know anything about Durasport (rio specifically) or any other spas similar to described above let me know.

Digest version: does anyone have this hot tub- how does it work http://www.walmart.com/ip/21464895?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=3&adid=22222222227015461270&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=40296236350&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=38871602590&veh=sem


Thanks!
