Californians:
All models inflatable spas have become illegal for sale in California due to the inability to test to an efficiency level established for rigid or soft spas. Liberal nanny state

We wont be able to buy this...
sucks doughnut?

This deal is dead but in case anyone reads this in the future:
1) Setup isn't at all intuitive. I found a video on a similar unit and setup is exactly the same https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3...y&index=26

2) There's a California version of the hot tub, which I bought for $247 on Black Friday https://www.walmart.com/ip/Hydro-...f5a59eef28.

Your comment cannot be blank.

I own the Coleman version of this and live in Colorado it raised the electric bill between 15 to 25 bucks a month, also i would not recommend using it during the months of January to March, They are really easy to take down and put back out they take about 24 hours to heat up. They are very good alternative and less expensive to permanent hot tubs. I really enjoy it and have had my Coleman now for almost 4 years.
It works great for the money, never had a puncture, increase of $20 a month in my power bill (Georgia winters). Take the time to get it perfectly level, do not put it on your deck unless you are absolutely sure it was built for that much weight.
I have the camo version (different brand), it stores up small enough to fit in a large closet or shed. I used two inch foam board under it for a softer feel on the bottom, and for better insulation in the winter months. No issue with concrete if you go this route. You can cut the foam board to shape as well.

Have a similar model from Intex and love it, this is a great deal. Set up around Thanksgiving and use until spring. Definitely recommend adding some foam board beneath as others have mentioned for durability, improved energy efficiency, and comfort. How exposed to wind the tub is will definitely impact your energy usage.

This is 100% accurate. My bill went up $50/month in Southern California

I am doing concrete....where does one get a foam board 🤔
You can get big sheets from Lowe's/Home Depot for pretty cheap. This year I'm going to try the foam puzzle flooring to make it easier to store.

Its very durable and i used it at first on a concrete back porch but concrete gets really warm in summer and cold in winter. I store mine in Plastic bins in the garage during Jan to april its really easy to put up and take down.

200 is insane for this, these were going for 750 to 900 during the start of covid, you could definitely resell these for a profit if it continues another 6 months. I paid 500 for the nearly exact version of this but Coleman brand 4 years ago and use it atleast once a week.
If you own your home and can afford a permant $9,000 i would definitely go that route. Hell 200 bucks plus you'd have buy about 50 bucks for a few chemicals its definitely worth it.

Yeah I bought 2 colemans from walmart a month ago when they were $230 for a short time. I sold one for 450 so I have $10 in the 2nd one that I kept

Quote from asr11user :
To the people who have used this for more than a year, is it durable enough to use on concrete? And where and how do you store it away?
I have had two of the Saluspa Miami over the past 5+ years. After the first summer I moved it to my garage where all I did was put down some astroturf. I'm lucky to live in a cheap electricity state (Washington), but in the cold part of the state so I can't leave it out in the winter. I leave it up all year by the garage door, so I can open it and it feels more or less outside.

I absolutely love it - and this seems to be a very close copy to the Miami. The only warning I'll give is that it takes a bit of time (took me many months in fact) to correctly figure out the chemical balance. The pandemic made the filters get more expensive, so I use a hosepipe and jet spray clean those things every week. That regular maintenance is essential to avoid bathing in a swamp.

I've considered this for my basement but I think all the humidity would lead to mold.

Been there, done that. Yes we loved having it in the basement, yes it left moisture and mold everywhere, yes the landlord kicked us out of our townhome when he found out we had it, lol.

In Minnesota first month in 8 person tub was only $12.00. Not as much as you would think. It was very cold the first month I think April I think there were a few snowflakes flying. I believe that was a partial month but still not as bad as expected. I should report that we are right now in the process of moving it into our garage from our patio due to it not being able to retain heat outside with 30 - 40 degree weather.

None of these units are 240v. They are all standard 110 - 120v outlets. You have a very short cord due to this. And it can cause issues on high stressed circuits. We had issues running anything extra on the circuit ours was plugged into.

If you get to 30 - 40 for overnight lows you can get it to full temp outside usually 104. If you are talking those values for highs you will not likely be able to achieve much more than warm bath water which my wife was very upset about. Moving the hot tub to the garage today or tomorrow. Just also added a heater to my garage as well to maintain 40 degree minimum temp.
