The tub is half the purchase. Set your climate and setup, and this estimates the whole thing: chiller size, the GFCI outlet, water care, and the power to hold it cold all year.
Estimated first-year cost
$3,725 - $9,689
The tub is only about 82% of it. The rest is the chiller, the outlet, water care, and power, the line items the product page leaves off.
