@@ivyg5170 this is the Saluspa Ibiza 4-6 person inflatable hot tub. It’s about 2.5-3 years old now and I’m not sure this specific model is being made/sold still under the name “Ibiza” its dimensions are about 71” L x71” W and 26” tall. I hope this helps I’ll post a link to a similar model below: amzn.to/3UIF9ng

Congrats on the new hot tub! Happy warm waters!

Take it back, probably had a defect.

It’s going to be a little slick because it’s brand new, unless there’s a bio build up have you shocked the water real well, is your water from a well or municipality/company. The nature of it is to be somewhat slippery it’s kind of unavoidable. I wonder if dish soaps may make it more slippery. I wish I had some kind of answer but it’s hard without seeing and being there.

What I mean is brand new maybe more slippery than my almost 3 year old tub. I would use caution if you plan to use it so you don’t fall/slip. Probably any tub not just yours you mix water and vinyl it’s going to get slippery….

@@michigantreetops This is far beyond "a little slick" and it's just as slippery now that I've drained it again. It feels like it's coated with Vaseline! Try rollerskating on an ice hockey rink! The side walls are fine.

@ the only time I’ve ever had that happen was one time I let the sanitizer levels drop to almost nothing for a day or two quickly the entire tub was coated with a bio film that was slippery. Were your sanitizer levels proper when it was filled?

Thank you I’m glad you liked it

@@Wayne-fu9qz thanks for the comment I looked at this one before opting to choose the harbor freight one. Here’s a link for anyone who would like to see the Proyama electric log splitter: amzn.to/3NPQXQH

Length might only be 15’-20’ but i think its 5/8”.

The drain on the hot tub is 3/4” male garden hose thread, the hose I hooked to it is 3/4” Female garden hose thread.

@@michigantreetops thanks appreciate you replying back

I can’t remember if I did replace the filter or not (maybe off camera I may have), but usually after a clean I agree it’s a good idea to replace it on these inflatable hot tubs. The filters for these hot tubs are cheap like 3.00 each so replacing isn’t to big of a cost. I’m sorry to hear about your experience with your hot tub. Contractor prices have gone through the roof it seems.

Best cut of chicken in my opinion! Have a good dinner!

Lucky! I really wish I had gotten one I heard a lot of people say stories similar to yours!

I had a saluspa Dominica. They didn’t have pumps in stock so they sent me an entire Hawaii hydrojet pro!

@@lonesome_crowded_life thank you, I don’t store it during the summer, I like it even during the summer I just like it a lot more during winter. But if I did I would clean it and dry it completely before storage - To prevent any mold mildew growth during the summer storage. I wish I had more but I don’t do it personally, there are some really good Facebook groups you could try on inflatable hot tubs possibly someone there would know.

I made the recall claim pretty early probably before the rush of everyone else mine did come very quickly (1 week about) but yeah I’m sure they’re getting a lot of claims filed now that it’s is out there.

@@GenesisTyler749 24/7 pump is always on, the heater is set to temp and if it calls for heat it will turn on I believe.

It’s important to note if power goes out, you must goto unit and power back on when power is restored it will not turn back on by its self.

@@plajr924 glad to hear! Thanks for watching 😊

@@ian1753 maybe an hour or so, hard to say.

@@ian1753 make sure that flapper in the bottoms of the tub is held open it likes to self close or rest right over the outlet

@@sallyhallman I didn’t think too hard, make sure you have it all lined up right:)

@@mikeh8228 wow that’s great to hear yours has lasted so long, yeah I actually put mine up on a table since making this video and it was a lot easier. I’ll have to put the wheel barrow next to it though I like that! Keep up the good work!

Yeah and I had a few rocks, roots depending on size are tough too.

That can be said for stronger hand held augers too. You need the right tool for the job, and this can work wonderful for many. Not everyone needs an industrial hole digger.

I hear you, it is powerful I personally like the new (2-hand)!safety feature but I understand where you’re coming from. Does Yours still function well for being 12 years old?

thanks for the tips and viewing the videos! I've read a lot about these filters on some facebook groups regarding inflatable hot tubs. I may try that, but i did also buy the parts to run a softened water spigot on the outside of the home, the softener removes all the iron/rust but ive heard some people note that the softened water is hard to balance. Either way I'm not sure but i intend to find out!

hmm ill look into that i only had the E02 error when i tried to start the pump to inflate the unit in the winter time (video: th-cam.com/video/qy14JsakG9s/w-d-xo.html) below freezing weather, there was no water in the unit because i was at the step for inflating the hot tub and it got all mixed up thinking something was wrong i think the temp sensor was upset at the cold air and no water... I did a quick google search and found this: The E02 error code on a Bestway SaluSpa hot tub indicates that the pump isn't detecting enough water to run the filtration or heating system. Here are some things you can try to fix this error: Check the water level: Fill the hot tub until the water level is between the "Min/Max" fill line on the inside of the spa. Remove stopper caps: If the stopper caps are still inside the hot tub, they can block the water intake. Check the filters: Blocked filters can cause the E02 error. Check the water lines: Kinked or bent liner pipes can cause the E02 error. Check the water flow sensors: The water flow sensors might not be detecting enough water flow. Check the Freeze Shield technology: The Freeze Shield technology might have turned on too soon. If the E02 error code disappears for 2 to 3 hours after running the spa with the heating and filtration system, the filter housing black membrane might be perished or twisted. In this case, the filter housing will need to be replaced.

@@michigantreetops yeah without the black flaps the water seems to flow far better and it also cleans the hot tub faster making it far less cloudy . it also heats it up faster as well . just the flow of the water is way faster in general really. i don’t think the black flaps are even necessary.🤷🏻‍♂️give it a shot anyway if ya want

@@redtucker9945 What was the water temp to begin with? It should be going up keep an eye on it. Is the hot tub brand new, or under warranty either wait this may warrant a phone call to bestways customer support Link: bestwayusa.com/contact

Thank you so much ☺️

Thank you

Post the link then let others check it out.

Typically the hot light I use is the Intex brand LED light, I then had to purchase a 3-D printed part to make it compatible with my saluspa “chem connect” connection. I’ve also used the floating lights but I don’t like them as much because they tip over when using the bubbles and they bump into people in the hot tub.

My hot tub it’s 74”x74” I believe it’s the “saluspa Ibiza 4-6 person hot tub” I’ll have to measure the deck tonight I would advise you go bigger than what you think you’ll need my walk ways around it are slightly narrow.

@@angelikad4024. Bestway is a very large company and I believe they want to make this right to their customers. If your pump is affected by the recall I would stop using it immediately and go through the claim process following the instructions online. You can request they call you on their website here, they should be able to answer your some of your concerns: bestwayusa.com/contact?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAocQcNMXcTM_PJaovw840BvAlYhF-&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_eq-h5jliAMVyEb_AR0DGwlTEAAYASAAEgKiifD_BwE

I had a similar thought.. So I plan to either photoshop or cut cord and mend after taking the picture (making sure to use some nice watertight heatshrink tubing on each strand and over the overall joint).

@@RyanSnyder_P right!? I'm not experienced with the 1st option lol Btw I found a FB group called 'Inflatable Hot Tub Owners" where they discuss the recall. It seems the company is fairly quick in the turnaround. Issue people are having is uploading the pic and having to start over with a new code. I think I use a Dry erase marker instead of a sharpie for easier removal.

@RyanSnyder_P I wouldn't recommend what you're planning to do. These units have been recalled for a reason, and I would stop using them immediately. The recall process was quick, and I received mine without any issues. @AngelikaDorsch-Bruckner I Really like the dry erase marker idea i too had the code page refresh and was given a new code after i sharpee-d another code on my unit... whoops!

@@michigantreetops what made you want to get the HF over Ryobi?

@@mapex311 I guess I could’ve gotten the ryobi and was thinking about it, but I like testing harbor freight tools and seeing if they’re worth it. I enjoy it but I’m sure I would’ve been pleased with the ryobi as well.

Bruh

@@MercantileJoes I would probably put some form of padding / insulation, the concrete could be abrasive I’d definitely have a layer to protect the tub.

@@andreuranie5891 then likely you led light is dead, which is less likely. How have you verified the switch does work?
