This hot tub is phenomenal! We spent over $15,000 on our Barefoot Spas PL8, and man was it worth every dollar! We’ve had the spa now for a full year, and used it for therapy religiously. It has helped my wife with her back pain, and me with my recent knee replacement. The spa came doctor recommended by my wife’s orthopedic surgeon. He said to get not only hot water therapy, but full hydrotherapy. That’s why we only looked at the higher end stuff. I can’t believe we waited until the doctor recommended it. The only hot tub we owned was years ago, and it was a cheap one without as much power. This PB8 is an entirely different ball game! I recommend Barefoot Spas to everyone I can every chance I get! It has been life changing for us.
