Jacuzzi Tub
You could splash out on a top-of-the-range jacuzzi with LED lights and remote control for temperature and water jet direction. You can even have the lights changing colour, depending on your mood, although you will need the right app for this. There are many different makes and models to choose from, and the top end units are great if you have deep pockets.
Hot Water On Demand
