Pool owners with a spa... worth the addition?

In the process of putting together a plan to build a pool this winter and I'm wavering on if to add the spa or not? I hear they break a lot more than the pool itself. However having a heater would be a nice bonus and would give me 2 additional months of pool use. Any thoughts?? In New Orleans if that matters.

Worth it

Get the hot tub. You gonna pay/borrow 60,000 or 63,000 dollars.
Heaters do break, but it's a year round pool with a heater. This far south there is basically one to two weeks a year where I think it's too cold to mess with. And even then I'm just being lazy.

Did this had it elevated off of the pool dead center with a water fall into the pool. It was an extra 15k tho. It is nice to be able to use it when it gets colder out.

For us, no to spa but yes to a pool heater.

Yes, worth it. And if nothing else for resale when you sell the home

Absolutely. Had them in every pool I've ever owned and used them far more than the pools.
Never had a mechanical problem with them, either.

We have the spa and use it quite often.

DO IT. We added the spa and heater. Don't regret it. We usually heat the spa most of the winter. spa added around 8K to the price. we went with the propane heater because we don't have gas. I bought 100lb tank from Lowes and have to fill it a could of times a year.

I absolutely love mine... spills over into the pool.
Pros- heater is amazing. I have had a kids swimming party in January. Perfect for warming the pool up a few degrees on those March or April days to get people to hop in. Gas bill goes up, but not proportionately to the amount of fun I have... maybe like $30 a month if I really use it.
Cons- Heater has blown a few fuses. Pain in the arse when people come over expecting to party and the SOB breaks. Extra lines and costs... my heater was $2500 + spa was $5-8k (shite if I remember) and the extra water lines... all told it added up, but I still enjoy it.
If I was you, I would do it.

Hot tub is awesome during the winter.
Do it...

They are great. Love setting the TV up next to the hot tub during football season and watching a game while eating some snacks and having a few drinks. Kids always end up in the hot tub, swimming in circles to create a whirlpool.

I have a pool and have always regretted not including a spa.
Heat the pool with solar and your heating bills will fall a lot.

Get the spa. We use our's year round when air temp is not too cold but pool water is still cold. I do not heat the pool -
way too expensive and takes too long to heat up.
