Terry Kent and Melinda Sweeten drown in their garden hot tub Daily Mail
Family friend Mike Peerenboom said he has known Kent since 1996, when Kent worked for a construction company in Salem.
Kent worked with sewer mainline installation, then began working on general remodelling.
'He was a different kind of guy, but he was a stand-up guy who would help anyone who needed it,' Mr Peerenboom said.
Sweeten had been suffering from a brain tumour that limited her activity, Mr Peerenboom said.
Neighbours said they rarely saw the couple leave the home.
'We hardly ever saw the wife,' said Javier Romero, who lives next door.
'We'd see the husband when he went out to get the mail or when he was in his front yard.'
Family members who gathered at the house were too upset to speak.
Hot tub accidents are rare, but they do occasionally occur.
In July 2000, a Port Clinton, Ohio, woman died after soaking in a hot tub for an hour while drunk.
And in 1996, a 23-year-old Thousand Oaks, California woman died after her body temperature reached 105 degrees in a hot tub in which she spent five hours.

Hot Tub...?
I have a 2003 Sundance Hot Tub, barely used and in perfect shape. How do I go about selling it? Think I could get at least a grand, grand and a half?
Craigs list baby! craigslist.org
Some local papers offer free ads online. You might want to check that out.
What are some hot tub spots near Berkeley California where couples under 18 can go?
my boyfriend and I want to go hot tubbing, but all the hot tub places I've seen have a policy where if you're under 18 you must be accompanied by an adult. Is that a universal hot tubbing policy?
yes
How does one choose a hot tub?
I want to have a hot tub installed in our not-yet-built deck. I want the hot tub edge flush with the deck surface - ie sunken. I want enough space for 7 - 8 adults and I don't want a noisy system. I can't enjoy the outdoors when I hear motors whirring!
What should I know to choose a good hot tub and to have it installed flush with the deck surface? Thanks in advance for your tips/experiences.
try looking in magazines oh yea a bit of advice.........you might just want to FINISH BUILDING YOUR DECK FIRST!!!
a) Consult the consumer's Digest(that is where I get a lot of my information for comparing, etc
b) SHOP and SHOP and ask questions at different shops until YOU ares satisfied with what you want.. NOT what the salesperson wants you to get
Ask the sales people sincere questions, and you will get sincere answers.
Here's something I can't figure out about people and their hot tubs........Why do they always place them on TOP of the surface?
As long as you are building something, why not build it so you don't have to CLIMB into the tub- up a ladder-down into the tub.
It always reminds me of the cartoons of the missionaries sitting in the boiling pot to see how people place their hot tubs.
Place the hot tub where you can just step down into the water - like a sunken tub. Then it wouldn't be such an 'eyesore' when you are just looking out over the deck.
Not to mention the convenience/ease of entering and exiting. Of course you would have the cover, so it would be safe, too.
There are 3 of us and we tried the ones designed for 3 - 4 people which was ok.
Then we tried the Grand Canyon designed for 7 people and that was pure bliss - plenty of room to stretch without touching legs etc unless of course you choose to - plus if we have visitors we just squish up a bit which is ok - but occaisionaly. have fun !!!!
Anyway, there are many hot tubs out there that should suit your needs thoroughly. Most well-built hot tubs will be for seating 6+ adults... so you'll be picking out something that is slightly higher priced than a six seater, but that's alright.
I would stay away from places like home depot and lowes for selecting a jacuzzi. Get out and shop some specialt shops... places that sell pools and hot-tubs, specifically. Visit several of these shops and make phone calls to dealers if necessary. You want to inform them on your specifications (seats 7-8 adults, low noise... and I suggest plenty of adjustable jets). Keep thorough notes among each place you visit or talk with so that you can compare the information different retailers / dealers have given you. This is really going to be your best bet.
As for the noise... anymore this should be quite limited except when the jets are running. Typically however, you don't hear the motor that is running the jets but rather the water... which I'm sure you know is quite a healthy and inspirational sound... very relaxing.
As for installation... hire a good contractor. You want to search a contractor by references, skills, and years in business. Don't hire a contractor for this porch and hot tub installation by shopping for the best price. If you're going to spend some money; higher-end hot tub and top of the line decking materials... then consider hiring a contracting consultant to manage the job for you. By doing this you are putting someone who knows the business in charge of hiring and overseeing the work that is to be done. If a contractor isn't working out... no worries on your end, it's the consultants job to replace this person.
Obviously, hiring a consultant for any home imporovement is going to cost you more money, but many times (I've seen it hundreds of times) it saves you money in the long run by preventing having someone come in and fix your project later. Decks and hot-tubs are expensive, and they need to be put in right the first time.
let me know if you have any questions
Without a doubt....Hot Springs hot tubs.
To get the quality of one of these tubs built in I would guess you would be looking at the very least......double the cost of the tub.
What may be best would be to build the deck so that it is about 7" below the installed height of a standard hot tub/spa. This configuration would allow you to have the best of both concepts.
There is a deck designer on Hot Springs Web Site.
Look here:

You will have to register and login but you will not be disappointed.
Good Luck and Enjoy!
Good Luck with your project..
I equate buying a hot tub to buying, or building, a house. After you have it for a period of time, you wish you had done things a little differently. For instance, seating configurations, number jets, jet style and placement, and frills like integrated sound systems and video monitors.
Consider the number of people (and their size) that will be using it at any given time. Do you require integrated cup holders? What about integrated lighting?
A word of advice... we've had tubs that use chlorine and we've also had tubs that use bromine. There's no difference in the tubs themselves, only in the chemicals. And I will tell you from experience that bromine is much more gentle on the skin.
One other piece of advice... it pays great dividends to study up on water chemistry. There are quite a lot of web sites that explain water chemistry and the function of all of the neccessary chemicals. By the way, besides bromine (or chlorine), you will likely need to follow a regular regimen of these chemicals: chlorine shock additive, anti-foam additive, water clarifier additive, and possibly water stabilizers such as PHup or PHdown and/or AlkalinityUp or AlkalinityDown.
Expect to change water every 3 months. Also expect to spend about $20 per month for the additional electricity (pump and heater).
This will get you started. Good luck!
How do I replace a hot tub light bulb?
Our light bulb in the hot tub is not working suddenly. The bulb is likely burned out. Do I have to drain the hot tub to replace it or is it something accessible from within the frame of the hot tub?
Also, does this mean the bulb is burned out or is there something else wrong? I read online about checking different parts.
Open the access cover and look in the frame and you will see the back side of the light socket.(you will see two wires going to it) Usally the whole socket will twist out but sometimes they have a tab like a pill bottle that you have to press before twisting. Most brands have a 12volt bulb that you can find at any home improvement store.
What kind of hot tub compan do you think is the best?
I just baught a hot tub from hot springs spas. Do you like them.And can you answer my question and about Hot Springs Spas.
Hard to get parts for when it breaks down unless you go through a dealer that will charge you the maximum when the warranty runs out. I personally am not a fan of their moto massage seat. Most tubs I go to of theirs it is broken and the customer rarely wants to spend the money to fix it. It's a very "dated" design. Not a fan of their jets either. (Only jet on the market I am nuts about is Sudances') I bet the only thing I ever repair will be the seal behind it in twenty years when I do it for everyone's.
You do have a great tub from a very reputable company. Take care of it properly with balanced water and enjoy it for many years to come. I would have bought another brand though. Sort of do you own a Lexxus, Mercedes or BMW.
Can I clean my hot tub with vinegar?
I just bought a house with a hot tub. The thing foams up and runs bubbly. The chemicals being used right now are bromine for santizing and a ph balance. The water is clear. I have dumped it 3-4 times. I think there may be a build up in the pipes because some of the jets were destroyed by chemical build up......my sister suggested that we dump in a gallon of vinegar and let it sit over night, run it and dump it again as a cheap alternative to a flush. I dont know what a flush (done properly) consists of, nor what it costs. Anyone know?
I think a flush would consist of a delime chemical, vinegar is an acid but I don't think it would cut the lime. You may need to contact a local swimming pool company, they will know how to treat the water in your area, there may be fluorides or some other issues that need to be addressed, Good luck
Check this site, it will give you everything you need to clean and maintain your hot tub. As for vinegar, I don't know how much you would use, but I know that in a washing machine, I use 1/2 gallon to clean that.
Instead use CLR (that chemical that removes Calcium, Lime and Rust) full strength.
How do I get rid of a hot tub that doesn't work and is sunk into a deck?
I have a hot tub that doesn't work and that is recessed into our back deck. We've decided that we don't want to invest any more money in making it work. How should we get rid of it? Even if we give it away on craigslist or something, how do we physically remove it from the deck without paying a lot of money for a crane to lift it out or ripping out the deck around it? Can you cut up a hot tub into pieces with a "saws-all"?
I'll assume it's not built in and is made of fiberglass. in that case they are not that heavy. you have to remove the decking around it.
you might want to first advertise it as free and that if they want it they need to pay for the removal. they could rent a hydrualic hoist or a gantry with nylon straps at the local rental place to take it out and get it on the bed of a truck.
Hot Tub Question - Should I open the floater with bromide tablets all the way or not?
I just set up a small hot tub and shocked it and added a bromide tablet floater to the tub. The floater has an adjustment on it and I wonder how much I should have it open?
I use only 2 holes open for a small 4 person hot tub..Start out at 1 or 2 then adjust as time goes on to fit your tub..all the way open will more than likely be way to strong..It's easier to increase the adjustment you set than to decrease it(which you cant) after you have too much coming in..try the second hole for a day or so..then if it doesnt seem fit go 1/2 a hole at a time..whith too many holes open your eyes will start slightly burning...
Is it possible to use a tankless hot water heater with a hot tub?
The heater in our hot tub is not working. We would like to put in a natural gas dedicated hot water heater and wonder if a "tankless" model would work by just recycling the water? It would be a lot cheaper than buying a new hot tub heater. Plumbing not a problem...just don't know if this would work. Thanks in advance.
Well, put that way, I don't see why it wouldn't work, however, I would turn it down when not in it so heater doesn't run constantly.
How do I start my hot tub?
I just bought this house a few months back. It came with a hot tub and I want to get it running, but I know nothing about hot tubs. What do I do and where do I start?
First, make certain it is plugged in. Some spas can plug directly into a regular GFCI outlet and others, like mine, are connected to their own fuse box. Make sure if it is plugged into a GFCI that the switch (the little red one in the middle) is sending power to the unit. If it is plugged into a fuse box, check that the breaker switch is on and sending power to the tub. Look at the spa and find the control panel. Mine is digital and under a cover in the front and inside the spa. If the spa is empty, you will need to fill it with water and treat it with chemicals. To do this, bring a container to the pool/spa supplier in your area so they can test your water and set you up with a treatment system. I use Bacquacil which is neither chlorine or bromide based because I like the feel of soft water. Check your filters to see whether they are dirty or need to be replaced. You may want to bring one with you to the supply house because there is a special cleaner just for the filters. If the tub is too dirty to fill from the start you will need to clean it out before you fill it with water. Once you fill it with water, you will add the chemicals in the proper amounts determined by the test and circulate them. Watch the jets to make certain that they are free flowing and not clogged with debris. Most of the jets in mine can be removed for cleaning simply by twisting them out. You can use a soft toothbrush to remove any debris from the jets. Then you can set the temperature (right now mine is around 100, but I'm in CA where is doesn't get too cold). Mine takes about 6-8 hours to heat up before it is comfortable enough to use.
Benefits of Portable Hot Tubs
Portable Jacuzzis and air baths are becoming very popular. Many traditional, built in hot tubs are losing buyers because of the number of benefits that portable tubs have. When deciding which one of the many bathtubs to buy, consider the many benefits of the portable hot tub and how it will fit with your lifestyle.
One benefit is that portable 2 person bathtubs do not need an external water source connection. They can be put up quickly and maintenance is low. It can be filled up with your water hose from the back yard. Because it is portable and doesnt need any water connection, it can be placed and set up anywhere you desire. Another benefit is that because their plumbing is self contained, set up can be easy and without problems. Most of the plumbing and accessories used in a fixed hot tub can also be fitted to a portable tub, which will ensure it works properly.
Choosing one of the wonderful corner tubs or other in home saunas can offer great benefits. The portable varieties are very similar to fixed models and offer the same comfort and perks. Many of them can be found with the same foam, comfortable seating in them. Portable Hot tubs are also made with the same jets as regular tubs. These jets are just as strong and relaxing offering massaging on many areas of your body. As with fixed hot tubs, portable hot tubs come in different sizes and fit certain amounts of people. The biggest thing to consider is buying a lightweight portable hot tub so that you have ease in moving it and setting it up. If you decide you want it somewhere else, it will be much easier to deflate and carry to another spot and set it up again.
When these portable tubs are taken care of, they can last a very long time. Be careful when purchasing cheap portable tubs or discounted ones. These can wear out easier and will not last as long as the portable tubs that are well made and put together properly. When maintaining the tubs, use the proper chemicals made for portable tubs. Many of the chemicals used for fixed tubs can cause damage to a portable tub because of the different materials it is made out of.
