Additional costs to consider: electricity bill, water, filters, and chemicals/test kit.
• Live in MN & used Jan-March
• Hot tub was set up inside our attached, uninsulated, single-car garage
- Insulation board and foam mat underneath
- No reflectix yet
- Usually two people in the tub for 1-2 hours at a time
- Did not use jets often
- Garage door cracked while in use, closed whenever not in use
Because it was in our garage, it was easy to play with temps a bit. If we knew we wouldn't use it for a week, we'd lower to 85° and turn it back up the day before we wanted to use it again. Most of the time we just lowered it to 95° when we got out, then turned it up the next afternoon so it would be nice and hot again in the evening. Did that make a difference in our electricity? No clue - didn't have enough data to analyze.
As for chemicals, you can use chlorine but for hut tub use, bromine sanitizer may be a better option. It's typically more stable and lasts longer and doesn't have the strong chlorine smell. I use chlorine based shocker though since it's cheaper than non-Cl shock. There's a lot of chemicals out there but I've had good results with a bromine test kit+bromine tablets for sanitizing+chlorine-based shock. I also have pH+ and pH- but haven't needed to use them too often but may need them on initial filling. (All the chemicals can be overwhelming at first but it ended up being simpler once I figured out a regular schedule (refill tablets as needed, shock once a week, test before use).

This price is insane and the best I've seen for similar. Whether you live in cold or hot weather, this is an amazing price and should be front page.
