Hoping to see where that leads to
May I ask what hair asset you are using for the male character?

There is something just not right with this and I can't put my finger on it...
Reelections are perfect (to me) but seems off .

It's difficult to see into the water AND see a reflection at the same time at such an equal value as you have here. I thought her right leg was a reflection of a third arm until I thought more about it.
Have you looked at photos of people in hot tubs to compare real life examples and your art?
At different angles, you are going to get different values of reflection and refraction.

The reflections may be technically right, it's hard to tell, but it's like one of those photos from reddit's confusing perspectives. The reflection intersects too much with her body underwater, i would just turn her around.

It's not the reflection, that looks good, and having had a hot tub I know the water isn't right, unless all of the jets are off, and the pump also. I'm thinking it is the ambient lighting. I did forget to change the sky, but this one does sort of work out.. I'm stumped. I will say that this scene set has gave me headaches from the start with every thing

Going for an eye level, but can rise it some and ditch the overhead to see what happens......

I do hate this asset...
It is so heavy it is unreal and things just change back to what it is from DAZ but I was able to get a little environment change and that helped and dome off (maybe it will stay) and it keeps going to CPU and not GPU where it is set. PIA
This is a little better by some. barley...

I definitely like playing around with different setups all the time but I end up getting impatient with how heavily daz studio can start chugging even on simple scenes when you start changing a lot of stuff around.
And I have a beast of a computer.

I keep asking what the deal is. Why sometimes something as simple as changing a pose slightly can cause it to hang for several seconds. It's frustrating because everyone just tells me.. it's normal.

Trying out my new Micropore Texture and new Eyestexture and eyes setting, but Dude this kills my Render Time up to 670 % nearly 5hr for this.
The reflections seem strong and refractions appear reasonable (it's harder to tell), so I might suggest cutting down on the surface reflections towards more clarity of the water. That kind of pool situation with brighter lighting will show through the water more than offer a mirror of the environment.

My first impression is that the water surface is to smooth, maybe rip a bump map from another surface and apply that to the water (adjust the strength as needed). And, the refraction strength is too strong.
One of the coolest things about 3d rendering vs. photography is that you can break the laws of physics. Don't worry about the water refraction value being "accurate" and tweak values until it looks good. I find most refraction effects within iray to be overboard, just try rendering curved glass like a car windshield to see how out of whack it can get. It works well for some surfaces, like a drinking glass, but is way too strong on other surfaces, like water.
And, if you pull the camera further away from the subject and then adjust the camera's focal length you'll get significantly different results. That's a real life photography trick to reduce lens distortion and will affect how the render refractions & reflections look with iray renders.
