Hot Tubs,yes?no?Poll added!

[ClappedOut]

I wonder how often these caravan sites and holiday cottages drain and refill?
Or is it like swimming pool water?
We see people sat in them for hours on end getting drunk with their mates on the Holiday site we have a Mobile home on.We had the option of a HT when we purchased the unit to the tune of an extra £4.5k

That is cheap, motorised canopy for one this year 3.5k 3.5 tons of water and a cooker feed supply.
Looked inside and expected galvanised frame, no it’s CLS softwood painted black. Believe it is a 7 seater and north of 6k plus canopy

Chavy horrid things -left behind when people sell the house.

Rotospa rentals popular too.

Never had a hot tub before so I am quite looking forward to the one we are inheriting although not looking forward to the electricity bill. I have found a hot tub very relaxing in the past. Not sure they are compatible with British weather.

Al

You think they are "compatible" with what we need to do to reduse climate change?

Depends if it is on renewable or lol low carbon electricity tariff lol

We have limited "renewables" available. I'd rather those renewables be used replacing carbon based generation charging a car or running a cooker or something than keeping a large tub of water hot 24/7 for occasional use.

Admirable, but industry uses energy in vast amounts, people still want package holidays etc.

EV are not environmentally friendly as they use vast resources to make, novelty v old cars or hybrids.

Anyway Full EV a pipedream as grid won't support it in current state on mass

So answer is to "do nothing"? - keep wasting energy like there is no tomorrow (ensuring there will be"no tomorrow")?

There will always be tomorrow as continents became as mass extinctions happened etc, previous generations lived with vile smogs, dangerous working conditions and adulterated food.

If the house has solar then quite possibly it will offset the use, if the tariff is renewable then again it is net neutral.

The use by industry and transmission losses are huge, nuclear power stations could provide district heating and industrial heat- it’s wasted.

Nuclear dry storage casks emit 25kw heat similar to domestic heating systems which is wasted to atmosphere.

Living in a cave completely impractical and people like Greta only get air time as funded by an agenda.

Green is the new tax, another 40-50 years I will be gone, like victorians I don’t care unless it’s diesel or milk in a river- environment agency are merely tax collectors

Add chemicals . The last thing I’d want to do. A bit like chlorinated chicken.

...or chorinated swimming pools? Next time you are eating chlorinated EU fruit and veg have a think about what you are putting in your body. Doh!

The concern about harm to human health from "chlorinated chicken" isn't the consumption of chlorine, it's the association with poor hygiene standards earlier in the process.

That's a really poor article: it does list known hazards but it doesn't give any estimate of how important they are, for example the number of people affected each year in the UK. Without that it's basically a scare story.

Either way communal feces bath so fashionable

From the safety point of view it would be wise to distinguish between hot tubs and swimming pools. Water safety should be part of any national curriculum, and for many children that's going to involve communal swimming pools.

A few hundred people die each year in the UK from accidental drowning:

The other articles made some attempt to give numbers... which is why I didn't criticise them.
