Economical, great spa
7 of 7 found this helpful So far so good. Took about 36 hours to heat a full tub from 50F water to 104F, but now it's staying around 102-104 pretty easily, even in 25F weather (they don't recommend 40F, but so far it's been fine). It's GREAT that the cover was included, that helps a lot, and protects the spa from the cats, they love to just sleep on the cover and it supports their weight just fine. The clear tube on the side is a bit weird, and I'm afraid someone will step on it, also it came with a huge kink/squish in it because of the way it was packaged, but so far it is holding up with no leaks. Instructions were unclear, but I figured it out. I was expecting tubes from the heater to the tub, but the heater actually hooks up DIRECTLY to the tub, which I guess is okay. A little mobility would have been nice though. Also, you can't inflate the tub any further with the heater once you hook up the heater to the tub. It seemed like it was only 90% inflated when I aired it up at first, but after it's full of hot water, the water pressure makes it feel 100% inflated and pretty sturdy. You can't use the bubble jets while heating at the same time; but that's common for these types of tubs. The bubbles are very forceful, creating realistic spa-like 3" perturbations in the water. Not jets by any means, but very bubbly for sure. And it only lowered the temp 2F even after having them on for about 10 minutes.
All in all, great buy and very relaxing to have, I look forward to it every night now. Not sure how to change the filters yet but I guess I'll find out next week!
