I enjoy hot springs, and loved visiting the traditional gender-seperated onsens while on vacation in Japan - those usually originate from a flow of natural hot water, no chemicals or recirculation needed. The water is kept clean from the constant replacement flow and because all the users wash thoroughly before use and don't bring their bathing suits. The variety of included minerals have been mentioned often as having a number of positive health effects. If I was building a pool or hot-tub, preferably not using a city water/sewer system, I'd look at simulating the above non-recirculated, chemical-free system on-demand (to not waste the flowing water when the system is not in use). That would be by installing a large tank for the building water storage and having it able to quickly heat and release water into the empty pool, on demand (e.g. the user calls up a web page on their phone with a button "discharge & heat water tank into pool to prepare for usage in 10min" - by the time that the user changes their clothes, the pool will be ready.) The system would then keep a flow of fresh water into the pool until the point where the pool is no longer in use, after that it would let the pool drain until it is empty.

I think she said they spent over $1000/month on chemicals during the summer. When I'd go visit over the summer for a couple weeks, I spent several hours a week cleaning it. And it takes a long time to top off the water lost to evaporation with a garden hose. Not sure I'd get one myself without a cleaning/maintenance service, it could get out of had really quick.
