ColemanSaluSpa AirJet 4 to 6 Person Inflatable Hot Tub Square Portable Outdoor Spa with 114 Soothing AirJets and Insulated Cover, Gray

First off let me say this is a Great Inflatable Hot Tub ! Extremely fast delivery. Box is heavy but was in great shape. Easy set up. Two person set up helps. Buy the hot tub with WiFi and the energy efficient cover. With WiFi hooked up you don't need to go out to check on it all the time. With the energy efficient cover it recovers a lot faster than without it. It generally heats up about 2 degrees an hour, without the cover about 1 degree an hour, I tested it with outside temp around 50 degrees. I filled mine to the max level first and with two people using it we were at the minimum level when done. That's without splashing all around, because the bubbles work quite well and will splash water out constantly. You will need a few things with any hot tub purchase.Good bottom mat, don't skimp on this item or you will regret it, much softer on the body.Chemicals are a must.Small fine hand net, for hair and bugs etc.Lots of towels for drying off.You will use lots of water depending on the amount of people use it, and how often.I have lower back pain is why I purchased it and although not a $10,000 hot tub, it does feel very good on my back, I do wish it was a little hotter than 104 but it will do. So far the quality is great, no leaks, pump is quiet in heat mode, I haven't tried the timer but I really don't need it With the App. I can check the temp. and start and stop it, adjust the temp, and start the bubbles inside the house.All in all I am satisfied so far with this Hot Tub, and time will tell how it holds up.

I was a bit wary when some said that the pump didn’t work or quit heating, ours has been up 2 weeks now and it’s working perfectly. You do have to have a properly grounded plug or the pump will not turn on for safety reasons. It says it doesn’t run right under 55 degrees outside and that is fair, we’ve had it in those temps and it’s gotten to 104 just fine. We did get the energy sense model which I think helps, be sure and use the double cover! Jets are great. We love it!

I purchased this hot tub last year. I understood it was unlikely to last as long as a normal hot tub but I figured if it lasted only two or three years it would be worth it considering the rising costs of a conventional hot tub.I set it up and it worked beautifully for the summer and fall. Then I drained it and carefully put it away for the winter. I brought it out again this spring and attempted to inflate it again but it would not hold air which meant that the walls of the tub would not stay inflated and because of that the tub was useless. I had several calls with best buy the actual maker of the tub, Bestway, (although the tub clearly says it is a Coleman product) and they said that I should bubble test the inflateable walls, which I had done and have repeatedly done again many times, and there are no leaks, but during the process I noticed by sound and by bubbles that the fixture above the inflo and outflo was leaking air and deflating the unit. All I ever heard back from Bestway was that the inflateable walls were out of warentee and could not be replaced because they no longer produced that model. I sent pictures of bubbles escaping from that part but no one was able to even tell me even what that part does. So a hot tub that seems like a great buy has turned out to be worthless after only one season. Bestway has been completely unhelpful and I can only sat Shame on Coleman for putting their till now good name on a product that they now say they have nothing to do with its product life. Amazon also has been no help and everyone sends us back to Bestway who obviously cares about nothing more than absolving themselves of respnsability. So StAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT and Bestbut itself or the loss will be entirely yours.

My wife and I bought this tub because we *thought* we wanted to own a hot tub, but buying a regular hot tub out right is costly, and what if we were wrong? The Saluspa was a good low-cost (comparatively to a real hot tub) experiment to determine if we liked being hot tub owners -and all that comes with it.Well, after about 2-3 months of owning this thing, this is what I can tell you before you buy...1.) LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT SPA MAINTENACE/TREATMENT.I had no idea how complicated proper spa maintenance can be. Thankfully, I have some co-workers that own spas/pools and they were able to point me towards some really great resources and give him some pro tips. Aside from feeling like Breaking Bad or a chemistry master mind in the beginning, it became tedious to be constantly checking and re-checking my water levels -especially when no matter what I did, they weren't right. Why can't I get the tub to stop foaming so much? Why isn't is crystal clear? These were my frustrations while learning about water treatment, however once I understood the basics, and got in a good routine, I found it became pretty easy to maintain over a 10-15 minutes chore, 1-2 times per week. If you're not prepared to learn the science, and put in time to do regular maintenance like this (or more depending on frequency of use), then owning a hot tub may not be for you.2.) EXPECT THE COST.TL:DR, cost of operating (for me) is about $150/month.There is ongoing cost with this thing. Filters, chemicals, and most of all, utilities. Our utility bill went up about $100/month. We leave it plugged in all the time, letting the filtration system work (recommended), but we also keep the tub warm (~100 degrees) so it's always ready to go. Someone could probably keep their utility bill down if they wanted to turn the heat off when not in use, and turn it on a couple hours before use each time. My wife and I tend to be more spontaneous with when we use it, so we don't want to have to plan sitting in it beforehand, then wait for it to warm up.Beyond utilities, be prepared to buy filters regularly. The manual says you should replace both filters (there are two) each week. this would be another $20/week cost. But, we found that with just the two of us occupying the tub, plus only using it 2-3 times per week, AND with regular and thorough maintenance, we can get 2 or even 3 weeks out of a filter set*. So our filter cost is about $40/month. *By 'get 2-3 weeks out of them', I mean we use the same filters until power blasting them with the hose before/after each session no longer get them looking like new.Chemicals are fairly cheap and last a long time, especially if you do a good job with your maintenance so you don't need to buy the ones like the water clarifiers and anti-foamers. I keep on hand: water test strips, total alkalinity increaser, Ph up, Ph down, shock treatment, bromine tablets, household bleach (not the non-splash stuff). All of these have enough supply to last me a good 6 months, maybe more, so their net cost is nominal.3.) IS IT REALLY A 'HOT' TUB?Short answer, yes. It really does get your water hot (up to 104 Fahrenheit), and keeps it there reasonably well. However, once you take the lid off and get in, expect it to start to drop, especially in cooler temps and ESPECIALLY if you run the bubbles (more on this later). 104 is legitimately a HOT tub. I mean, that's arguably too hot for comfort (for most people, anyways), however, there are a few issue with the Saluspa heating capabilities:First, getting the water to that temperature takes awhile. Unless you want to keep your tub up in the triple-digits at all time (which I personally do), expect to plan well ahead for when you want to use it. I haven't timed it, but warming from tap-water temp (about 80 degrees for me) to 100 degrees, easily took 3-4 hours.Second, the tub will maintain that temp well enough for a prolonged soak, unless you run the bubbles. The tub creates bubbles (not jets) by sucking in ambient air, then pumping that out through a tube lining the bottom edge of the tub. The cooler the ambient air, the faster the temperature drops. It *seems* to try to overcome this by heating the air as it's sucked in, but it doesn't seem to make a big enough difference as I suspect most of the heat is lost simply from agitation of the water in the tub, not from the temperature of the air being pulled in. In cooler temperatures, you can lose several degrees in a bubble cycle (bubble cycle = 30 minutes). So if you're using the hot tub in warmer ambient temps, go for it! If you are intending to use it in colder temps, don't expect to be running the bubbles too often, or to be having prolonged soaks while the bubbles are on.Third, we have found that the tub cannot HEAT the water (even with the heat ON) once the lid is off. It can maintain, but cannot warm it beyond what it was once the lid came off. So if you set it to 100, jump in and decide to make it a little warmer... not going to happen. You'd have to jump out, pop the lid on and come back later to get those couple extra degrees. This doesn't sound like a big deal if you know your Goldie Locks temperature, EXCEPT...Forth, the tub fluctuates in temperate about 2 degrees from what you set it to. So if you set it to 100, it will fluctuate between 98-102. So in the moment you want to jump in, it could be on the cooler end of that spectrum and not be as satisfying as if it were right on or warmer than your desired temp (since a quick run of the bubble cycle could easily cool off those two extra degrees in about 10 minutes).4.) IT'S LOUDNot while sitting idle, heating and filtering your water. But running the bubbles is crazy loud. Comparable to running a leaf blower or shop vac -not quite as loud as either, but it has the same constant air pushing pitch. Let me put it this way: It's loud enough that the noise level has kept my wife and I from running the bubbles too early in the AM or late in the PM out of concern for noise complaints from the neighbors. This is something to note if you want to socialize in your tub as well --you'll be shouting over the machine. Take this for what it is.4.) FINAL THOUGHTSSo did it make us want to be a hot tub owners? Short answer, YES! Our experiment of owning the Saluspa to determine if we would be enjoy being hot tub owners, and not be irritated with the maintenance and cost, panned out for us. The tub is fun, the build quality seems high, the setup is extremely simple, and my only complaints are captured above (maintenance, noise, heat retention). I believe two of these three, noise and heat retention, are more specific to Saluspa vs. a real hot tub. However, the trade off for these inconveniences is the cheap cost to entry. We got a freakin' hot tub for under $1000 dollars!If you made it this far, I hope you found it helpful. I found there to be too little of practical information like this when I was doing my research. Cheers!
