We can also conclude that neither of the hot tubs will take much space in your backyard. Speaking about the latter moment, we’d like to note that the last Coleman SaluSpa Miami is the smallest, and it’s perfect for the maximum of 4 persons. Despite their names, Intex PureSpa 4-Person and Intex PureSpa 6-Person can both contain 6 people. If you have a big family or company, Coleman SaluSpa is also the right choice for six people. Anyway, the fewer swimmers, the more space, so even for the biggest spas, four people are an optimal option. Unlike the , the Coleman pumps come with the Power Saving Timer.
So, it’s a good idea to get a 4-person tub even if there are only going to be two people using it. The Coleman SaluSpa is an entry-level inflatable hot tub. It’s solidly built, but it lacks the bells and whistles of some of our other picks. Made of a three-ply reinforced material featuring a polyester mesh core encased in two layers of sturdy PVC, the tub is extremely tough. Many inflatable hot tubs don’t come with built-in seating, especially the basic models that don’t have lots of bells and whistles. If you’ve used in-ground tubs or fabricated portable spas, you’re probably used to sitting in a tun with a seat.
The Coleman Saluspa Havana Hot Tub stands out for its remote control which allows you to remotely adjust the temperature and massage system. It can seat 2-4 people, so would suit a small family and features a power saving timer, allowing you to heat the water up to 72 hours in advance. The attached water pump is also used to inflate the Helsinki, which can accommodate up to seven people. Atop the pump are controls for temperature and water jets, as well as a timer which can be used to set the water temperature up to 72 hours in advance. However, with prices close to $1,000, the Helsinki costs as much as a flight to Finland. If you can find one in stock somewhere, this is one of the best inflatable hot tubs on the market today.
If you use the heater that comes with this unit – in CA anyway you will spend upwards of $130 per month to heat the spa. I found alternative methods to do so and cut that beyond in half. The bubbles in this little tub are almost too strong and the bottom that you sit on intex baby float is much more comfortable than I thought. It’s very easy to take care of – I went the mineral route to avoid chlorine – the smell is just too strong. Took about 1 hour to setup because I like to read everything over and over to make sure I don’t get too ahead of myself.
There are many portable hot tubs on the market, and even if you have a budget of just $700, you don’t want to waste that on a bad buy. If you need to order swimming pool equipment, parts or chemicals online then you should choose to buy from a specialist that deals exclusively with pool and spa products. InTheSwim.com would be my recommendation to pool owners looking to shop online for pool and spa supplies. Is there a website or a youtube video to show me how to deflate and “store” my intex spa for the winter? I bought an outdoor plastic shed (4′ wide x 4′ tall x 2′ deep), can I safely store my spa in this shed?
Your hot tub needs a flat and level surface for set up, or the water will get everywhere. Make sure that there are no sharp objects nearby, or on the floor. Tearing your hot tub on an exposed nailhead, or popping it on a sharp plant branch, is a heart-breaking experience. You may be able to lessen the noise by careful placement of the pump/blower unit. Solid level ground is best to minimize noise and vibration. If you want a relaxing and peaceful soak then consider this fact.
We have been using our spa for 3 weeks and it has performed very well. Set up in the basement for now as we have an area with an exast fan. Heats back up very quickly, filters easy to change and clean and the bubble jets are strong. Very happy so far this spa has really hit the spot with this record breaking cold/snow Chicago winter.
The suggested time for the Pure Spa to heat up to the maximum 40 degrees is hours. The water heats up around 2 degrees each hour which is more or less spot on with other brands. Many users say that 38 degrees is a comfortable temperature to sit in which will shave an hour or two off the heating time. In addition, they are portable – you drain, deflate and pack them and take the tub anywhere you want. Finally, there is a significant difference in cost compared to a standard tub – an inflatable tub is going to save you a lot of money. Hot tub care is generally very easy with this type of tub – easier than with regular ones.
