If you don’t have this electrical point available, you might have to call a qualified electrician to come over and wire in your hot tub. Intex blowers run on a 110-volt power system so that you can connect them to a standard electrical socket for use. This feature makes them a portable solution that you can link up to an electrical extension cord. This spa supposedly fits up to 4-persons, but we think three people will be the maximum that can fit comfortably in this tub. It’s perfect for couples that want to enjoy a relaxing soak together.
Even when you are unboxing and setting up an Intex inflatable hot tub you will not see the filter elements right away as they are already installed in the two main drains that come with your spa. Indeed every Intex spa will have filter elements that you need to install, maintain and clean. Changing filters in an Intex hot spa is very easy to do and takes less than a minute to complete. The filter elements for Intex hot tubs are located in the two main drain suction grates and should be removed and replaced every week or so depending on how often you use your hot tub. While it can be said that the filters and the filtration system in is minimal, the benefit to this is that replacement filters are as cheap as they come for hot tub filters. Often premium brand hot tub manufacturers will advertise and tout their multi-stage filtration process which utilizes proprietary filters designed for this specific application.
This model comes complete with a hard water treatment system to prevent scaling and ensure simple maintenance. The Intex patented Fiber-Tech construction is guaranteed to provide a comfortable surface and durable rigid structure in use that prevents collapsed sides or sloshing over an unbalanced inflatable. The DIY setup is simple and quick, and the chlorine dispenser, test strips, and built-in hard water system intex purespa mean simple maintenance. With 48 Fiber-Tech Beams to support the full and inflated structure, you can be sure you’ll have a relaxing soak without risk of collapsing the sides of your spa. This inflatable hot tub has a capacity of 240 gallons of water and the heating system provides a water temperature range up to 104 degrees of the ultimate jacuzzi spa system experience at your temperature preference.
There is no need of tricky electrical installation, just simply plug the tub in and it is ready to go. When the problem started a month ago I took the entire base unit apart to look for deteriorating o-rings but found nothing. Since the problem has returned in the last week I took the unit apart again only to find the pump/heater unit was melted and warped.
The tub really offers you a great deal with its great performance and attractive design. Most inflatable Intex spas use this S1 style of replacement filter cartridge, model number 29001E. Buying filters in bulk is the cheapest way to keep your spa water clean and minimize how often you need to be degreasing and cleaning filter elements.
I think the bacteria builds up in there and eats away at the hoses and the spits the stuff out. I made a pvc cap with a filter to screw on the end of the jet that puts water back in the tub so flakes don’t spit out. Would increasing calcium hardness help protect the heating element and prevent flaking. I know my CH needs to be a certain level in the pool to protect my pool heat exchanger. Is there something in my water balance that I can do to stop these flakes from getting in the hot tub?
