I've been watching these for a while as they usually go on sale a few times a year. This is the best price I've seen since they were $229 a few years back.

The heater and pump use about 1500w and it runs a lot of hours. The cover has some insulation but looses heat very easy. It's annoying that when power goes out it resets and you find out that it's cold when you want to use it
Quote from Robynabc :
Last post. This is the exact one I have, it DOES NOT have an inflatable cover. I don't like that as much.
If this really doesn't have the inflatable pad (approx 6 inches thick) that sits on the surface of the water and under the cover, I would look for a different model.

Your comment cannot be blank.

My review having owned this:

TLDR: A great temporary tub which requires some DIY in order to work properly. Quirky features, gets dirty easy, expensive cheap quality filters.

Pros:
-Affordable
-Gets Hot
- Great for short term (1-3 years)
- Low electricity bill

Cons:
- 72 hour auto shut off timer is a nightmare
- Filters are way expensive and clog within days ( they recommend cleaning after each use which is insane) I was the only one who used the tub and showered before each use.
-If you are over 5'11 do not buy this. I kept the waterline over the "max" mark in order to barely cover my shoulders. Heat seeps out of the cover this way but it was necessary
- The cover is terrible, it essentially warps with the steam over time
- The bottom of the hot tub has no insultation, do not place on cold concrete
- Bubble feature pulls in cold air
-Temp gauge is not accurate. It would NEVER show 103 degrees, only 102 and 104, for some reason the tub would stop at 102 frequently and not heat up to 104.
-The pump lines are exposed and will also need insulation
-Even with the use of bromine, the tub is extremely difficult to clean without draining monthly, I used it 2-3 times a week for 5 months and had to drain 3 times to do a deep clean.

This fits two nicely. For it to last, you can't leave it outdoors all the time, especially in the cold. I'm 6'3" and it holds my wife and I perfectly

[QUOTE=sarcasmogratis;148806070]Less than 2 feet deep
I'd expect maybe 2 people comfortably.

Anyone own this?{/QUOTE]

I've owned two of these. They can fit two adults and probably a child comfortably. Expect them to last about two years before you have to start patching them. So maybe three total. For the investment, that's not bad.

This is indeed a good price. You may find $50 or so lower on BF but that's about it. And, yes, the prices have been inflated (no pun intended) during covid.

Cost of operating depends upon your climate and how long you keep them out into Fall/Winter. I don't think my bill went up by much, maybe $15 a month, but I never kept track.

In short this is a good deal on a "poor man's jacuzzi"

What chemicals does everyone use? I just ordered this for my back arthritis (I'm only 40 wtf?) I used to have a real pool and did the BBB method to great effect(better than my sister's pool managed by a company).

(BBB method is "Bleach, Borax, Baking soda" if people wondered/were unaware)

Agree with pros and cons. I set mine up for 72 hours at a time, then drain it. It's not much bigger than a whirlpool tub so the water should ideally be changed pretty often. The key here is temporary - that keeps the electric bill down and the cleanliness up. I fill it with hot water from my on-demand hot water heater set at 104 in about 45 min. That also cuts down on electric use.

Fits the wife and I fine, along with a couple of kids who stand in it. Doesn't get hot enough for me, but I think all modern hot tubs max out at 104. There is a way to rig it to get hotter, or so I've read. Seemed pricey to run for a few months in S. CA winter. My impeller doesn't seem to last long.

I bought one last September, heater broke in 2 weeks, took 5 months for a warranty part, very frustrating. That part lasted 6 weeks, now it's in a landfill

I picked 2 up when they were on sale during covid from Walmart ($230 ish) but this seems like a good deal. I'm in VA and great for fall and spring but not ideal for middle of winter unless you want a very high energy bill. Also will add that they honored their warranty no problem. Mine had a hole in the liner that allowed water to enter where the pad is that you sit on, but didn't leak water or air. So was still usable but there was a big water bubble that you sat on... Hard to explain. Anyways, I filed a claim and in 2 days they had an entire new liner in the mail, no complaints there.

I got one when Walmart had it for 200. I live in VA didn't get it set up until temperatures were over 40. It's not recommend to use it below that temperature.

I use it as a kiddie pool / warm tub. I can place it on the shade because of the heater

So far I like it a lot. Set up takes a few minutes. I've been keeping the water with bromine and the ph up and down. I think the bottles will last about 3 seasons.

I've set it up in April and we are almost in august and I should replace the water. It lasts about 3 months

The heater and pump use about 1500w and it runs a lot of hours. The cover has some insulation but looses heat very easy. It's annoying that when power goes out it resets and you find out that it's cold when you want to use it

This units heater is 120 volts, so I suspect that it takes very long to heat the water. Patience is required.
