My friends have a hot tub. I'm not sure what they put in the water, but it always dries out my skin and makes it itchy. I have an in ground pool that I swim in all the time and have none of these skin issues. Can you use the same chlorine that you would use in a pool in a hot tub?

I've been polling people I've met and it's really been a tough call. My son says pool, I say spa because it has a lid, warm water and we can use it throughout the year instead of just two months out of the year. Has anyone decided to have one over the other, and what was the final reasoning you used?
Well, the answers are definitely leaning towards the spa, I'm grateful for the extra advice, I'm pinching pennies but work 7 days a week at our store, we need something we can enjoy here without traveling away. Thank you all for your great answers, too bad I have to choose one over the other, but here goes…
