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.

I think the answer is no, but can the hot tub be put on a wifi outlet so I can control the power via my phone? I have it in my backyard but the motor is close to my neighbor's bedroom window (our houses are only 6' apart) and the sound is annoying overnight. I'd like to be able to turn it on in the morning and off at night without having to manually do it.

I did it manually last night and the temp only went down 13 degrees overnight, which is better than dealing with angry neighbors.
Without the bubbles going it doesn't seem that loud to me. It's not louder than an HVAC unit. Are you sure your neighbor can hear it inside the house?

Whether it's safe or not I am not sure, would have to see if it's safe pulling like 1200W or so and 15A through whatever plug or cord you get. Technically you are supposed to plug it directly into the outlet and not even use an extension cord with it either. However, I can't see why a cord or device rated for the right specs would be an issue.

It's right beneath my window and I can hear it pretty well with my windows closed; my neighbors sleep with their window open and complain about everything, so I don't want to give them another reason to complain.

I'm not so worried about using an extension cord, but since the unit has a digital on/off button (vs physical switch), once I turned off power via the wifi outlet I'd have to manually turn on the digital button on the unit in the morning. I don't see any way around doing it manually, unfortunately. Thanks for your reply.

I actually believe I saw someone mention this type of thing as a "hack" to prevent the 72 hour shut off. Let me see if I can find it.

Here it is: http://involvery.com/lay-z-spa/

TIP: To STOP your Lazy Spa inflatable hot tub from turning off every 72 hours – plug the hot tub into a timer. Have the timer set to shut off every 23 hours and then turn back on a few minutes later. Problem solved.
We recommend this timer.

Thanks. It's still in the box until I get some time.


What is a realistic time frame for setup to the first use ?

It took about 10 minutes to setup. But then you have to fill it and then wait for it come up to temp at about 2-3 degrees per hour.

Not going to be "enough" likely but mine was making an annoying hum... I put a piece of cardboard under the pump unit and it helped greatly.

I got my inflatable cover today and have it all set up. Definitely better than nothing and the cover isn't sagging in the middle anymore. I am happy with it so far.

So is it a whole new cover or just an inflatable that goes under our existing cover?

Just an inflatable that goes under the existing one. I was expecting a whole new cover and was going to call about that before I received it but now that I have it installed I think it's fine. It fits in nicely and seems to do the trick. Should help keep the energy bill down compared to not having one.

Dang!!! They pulled the double bait and switch on us!!! OMG

I'm not gonna bother Jessica again, but c'mon man. I guess ultimately I am glad I am getting something sooner rather than having to wait two months. Already got rain coming for 2 days before I get the new cover EEK!
