We are huge fans of Coleman’s blow-up hot tub for its quality and performance, and therefore are also big fans of the SaluSpa. Over the past few years, technology has improved to the point that the best portable hot tubs are now viable long-term alternatives to traditional permanent hot tubs. The best inflatable spa can maintain the same water temperature as their fixed counterparts. They can have the same jets and an equally powerful water filtration system. Another top-notch relaxing, refreshing hot tub experience can be from Intex Pure Spa portable bubble hot tub. It incorporates 170-high powered fizz jets with a flow rate of 460 GPH that alleviates your stress after a long tiring day of work.
One of the reasons is that it is inexpensive compared to other models, which makes it affordable to lots of families. In addition, it’s made by Intex, a well-known brand name company that has made high-quality inflatable products and above ground swimming pools for over 40 years. Firstly, choose a flat area that is large enough to take the hot tub. Although the hot tub measures over 7 feet in diameter, you also need to add at least 2 feet all around for access and cleaning. Therefore, you are looking at an area that is at least 11 feet square.
If you choose a small hot tub that’s just for you and a few other people, you will probably pay around $1,500 to $2,500. Don’t forget that the amenities you add to it will increase the price. However, if you can catch your hot tub on sale, you can lower the price you pay by a great deal. Hot tubs designed for eight or more people will cost in excess of $10,000. You’ll probably want to add in amenities to these types of hot tubs too.
That said, typically inflatable spas lose heat faster than fabricated spas that have thick foam insulation. Although I included “More Expensive to Heat” in the “Cons” list below, I should mention that this tub includes an insulated top cover and thermal floor mat to minimize heat loss. The Intex PureSpa 6 Person Inflatable Hot tub is a plug-and-play intex baby float model. This means it is very easy to set up, and does not need any special tools or technical knowledge. Even though it is very sturdy, this portable spa is still extremely comfortable when you lean back against the wall to relax. The floor is also cushioned for extra comfort, and you get 2 cushioned head rests included in the price as well.
Lay Z Spa maintenance is pretty much the same as other inflatable hot tubs, but read the manufacturer’s instructions to be safe. Coleman also makes a line of inflatable hot tubs in different sizes; Backyard Boss rates their top five, leading with the model. Weighing in at 73.1 pounds, it can hold up to four people, heats up to 104 degrees Fahrenheit and has a soft, cushioned floor. Another positive aspect to inflatable hot tubs is that they can be used indoors and outdoors provided that you have enough space and adequate structural support. Many people do not use their outdoor hot tubs in the winter since getting out of the tub and facing cold air can be quite unpleasant. An inflatable hot tub can be a great place to relax indoors during the colder seasons, and you can also pack it up and take it to other places, like a vacation home.
Typically, a 6-seater hot tub from a dealer could cost you well over $15,000. With the Intex 85in, you get to relax in a high-quality spa for a fraction of the price. As with all Intex models, you get a customizable control pad to enter your preferred settings.
However, did you know that the majority of inflatable hot tubs have a major drawback? In this article, we highlight the benefits of inflatable hot tubs with hydro jets. The LS600DX seats up to seven people and has 65 jets, including 14 turbo blasters and 4 foot jets for localized massage action. It has a 3 hp pump (compared to 2 hp for lower-priced models) that, when combined with the air-control valve, offers greater control over the jet’s intensity. You can go from relaxing bubbles to full blast back or foot massage using the digital control panel.
Two pumps with the same output potential may be completely different in terms of quality and longevity. For mechanical components like these, we always recommend leaning on others who have had experience with the part you are researching. Consult the experts by reading advice from people who have years of experience in spa and pool parts.
