Interesting, but I think I will go with the modern tub.

The guy looks like a Apple software developer. Had it not been for the Ipod, they would all be extinct now.

That's a nice one Doc.  :)

The one in the article had some pretty nasty looking water. Hard to tell if they were soaking or bathing.  ::)  ;D

Frequently the wood heated hot tubs have NO pump or filter, and they try to get by by changing the water once a week (doesn't work too well)...but it makes for a VERY inexpensive hot tub (tub, bench and wood heater is all you need). Most of the wood heated tub we sell, we really try to talk people into at least a small filtration system...but there's always a few hard core purists, and people that are totally off-grid.
