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&i
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.

I wanted to try something stronger, thicker and more insulating on top of concrete than the foam gym style mats.
So I bought a 1 inch thick rigid foam board from Lowe's ($20 bucks)
Cut a 12x48 inch piece off each end and then duct taped each one to opposite sides longwise on center.
Now it can be folded like wings and be stored upright too. When it gets warm again I'll trim the foam to match the circular shape of the spa for the bottom.

I may try and make another one for under the spa cover but on top of the insulating pillow they sent, just to help keep some more heat inside the top.
Also seen people wrap the outside all the way around with Reflextic bubble insulation foam for better heat retention. (24"x120" - need two rolls)

I wouldnt even worry about the tarp. I would just spend the extra few dollars on more mats to layer the whole floor. My set up is on a concrete patio also.
I just added a inkbird thermometer that was on sle last night to be able remotely check temp when i am in the house (bluetooth range)

You will definitely want smaller tablets. You want something like this: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Clorox-S...e/50333081. Even 1in tabs are a bit large for our chem dispenser.
Also, many people prefer bromine over chlorine for hot tubs. Finally, you should at least get an oxidizer (aka "shock") as well. I use a non-chlorinating shock.
The brominating tabs stay consistently in the tub in the chem dispenser (though I remove the dispenser when I bathe). The shock you sprinkle directly in the water either after you use the tub or at least once a week.

It's been great learning and tubbing regardless of what happens. Stay warm sheeple.

I'm thinking to crack open a window or two when the cover isn't on should be good enough. I have methods to safely transporting the water and my basement is unfinished.
We've been using ours almost everyday for 10 weeks now and the first 3 weeks levels got off so we drained and refilled.
Now after the past 7 weeks levels are good and water still clear. Good Luck!
South Central PA - added approx. $25 a month to our electric bill - so I figure about a dollar a day to run including chem.
