A Hot Tub Girl’s Dilemma (But Like… a Fun One)

I swear, every December sneaks up on me like, “Hey girl, did you forget to buy holiday gifts, groceries, and also maybe clean your hot tub?” And every December I’m like, “Yes. Yes, I did.”
But yesterday, before I spiraled into full seasonal chaos, I got the most beautiful little notification from Interior Pool & Spa: 25% off spa chlorine and bromine pucks AND 25% off chlorine and bromine test strips.
Get them instore or shop online!
My heart? Full. My wallet? Shockingly unbothered.
I mean, if you own a hot tub, you know those pucks disappear faster than my husband’s patience when the Canucks lose. So yeah… I sprinted online. Not walked. SPRINTED.
As I’m tossing things into my cart like I’m on some kind of Olympic shopping team, I notice something else… Something shiny. Something bubbly. Something I’ve been avoiding acknowledging ever since my current tub started making those tiny gremlin noises during heat cycles.
The HUGE Sale on three Dimension One Spas in the Interior Pool and Spa showroom:
Because the thing is… I’ve been low-key flirting with the idea of upgrading my hot tub for months. You know that phase where your brain keeps saying, “No, we’re being financially responsible,” while your heart is like, “But imagine a new spa with 45 jets massaging your soul.”
Same vibe.So now I’m sitting there: test strips in one hand, chlorine pucks in the other, staring at these beautiful D1 spas like they’re the last roses on a Bachelorette finale.The Temptation Begins.

The Triad?
A cozy, 3–4 person dream that feels like it was designed for people who like to pretend they’re minimalist but actually just have fewer friends available on weeknights. Compact, cute, and loaded with jets.

The Meridian?
The hostess-with-the-mostest tub. 6–7 seats, 45 jets, room for everyone including that couple who always “just pops in” with a bottle of rosé they “found in the car.” Sure, okay, Shannon.

And the Aurora?
Oh honey.
Elegant, glowing, stunning: the kind of spa that makes your backyard feel like a luxury resort where you accidentally call your husband “sir.”

Do I need any of these? Well… need is a strong word. But do I deserve them? Absolutely. It’s been a long year. I’ve survived three work deadlines, two family dinners, and one truly unhinged attempt at a DIY patio makeover. I’ve earned jet therapy.
Spa Girl Math
Here’s the thing: Spa girl math is simple.
You say: “Should I wait until next year to upgrade?”
Spa girl math says: “Twenty-five percent off my water care + a sale on spas = I’m practically saving money. Financial queen behaviour.”
You say: “My current tub mostly works.”
Spa girl math says: “That’s cute. Get the one with the SmartHub control system.”
I don’t make the rules.
The Thought That Haunts Me
I keep picturing myself on a chilly evening, hair in a messy bun, drink in hand, jets blasting away my stress…
And when I imagine that moment, the tub in my mind is NOT the one currently sitting in my yard making that questionable hiccup noise.
It’s one of these Dimension One beauties.
I mean… can a girl not soak in peace?
Reality Check: Stocking Up & Dreaming On
Reality Check: Stocking Up & Dreaming On
So, here’s where I landed:
•Ordered my 25% off chlorine pucks
•Tossed in 25% off test strips because I’m not trying to eyeball water chemistry like a witch over a cauldron
•Bookmarked all three D1 spas like the indecisive queen I am
•Told my husband I’m “just browsing,” which we both know is code for “I will be bringing this up again.”
And now? Now I sit. I wait. I visualize myself in my future hot tub era.
Stay tuned. Natalie’s about to make a choice, and I’m pretty sure it’s going to involve 40+ jets and a whole lot of self-care.Hi, I’m Natalie! I love writing about my backyard spa adventures, sharing the highs, the lows, and the occasional hot tub disaster. The story above is a fictional peek into my spa world, filled with humour, relatable chaos, and a whole lot of bubbles.
