I like the Bain Ultra air-jetted tubs.  They have a good price point,
don't have water sitting in the pipes so you don't have to use
chemicals and shock treatments, use an automatic air-jet cycle to blow
whatever little water ends up in the pipes after the person exits the
tub, have excellent customer service, and a long warranty.  There are
also other major advantages:
