  • Did you know I've made over 800+ other videos on TH-cam? Hit that SUBSCRIBE button and watch another Barnacules Nerdgasm video right after this one! 🍿 I purchased this Intex 4 Person Portable Hot Tub during Black Friday in November of 2016 and just remembered that I had it since my back has been giving me trouble lately. After setting it up and realizing how good it is I'm really wishing I had set it up way sooner. This is easily a hot tub that can replace a $5000+ permanent hot tub for people with limited space and budget like me. The hot tub runs on 110v 12amp so uses no more power than your vacuum cleaner but produced amazing bubbles and heats to 104° F no problem!

    I've been seeing a massive influx of people on Twitch streaming from indoor pools & hottubs to get around the TOS rules that prevent you from wearing bathing suits or Bikinis unless you're in a pool and or hot tub so I decided to revisit this video 🤣 They no longer manufacture this Intex hottub but Coleman makes a more reliable model that is very similar with nearly identical specifications with way more positive reviews you can purchase from Amazon at this link - amzn.to/2SyvW3F
    Now go get paid on Twitch by playing Call of Duty in your mom's basement chest deep in your portable hottub with floating keyboard and mouse on a boogie board wearing your sisters bathing suit to get all those tips and subs while fragging noobs in CoD and Battlefield 😉 Seriously though, if you do this you have to post a pic and tag me on Twitter (@barnacules) and yes I will be doing a hottub streams in September over on my Twitch channel (Linked in Video Description) 🤗

    Sorry I've been gone for so long guys. I've been live streaming every day on twitch.tv/barnacules since my back has been jacked up and I'm now just starting to feel well enough to start making videos again. This hot tub has already helped my back a lot and honestly turned out way better than I expected when I purchased it on sale during Black Friday. It's pretty awesome that I finally got a hot tub for about 1/10th of the cost of a real one that I'm completely satisfied with and coupled with a projector it's the ultimate back yard escape. Check the video description for links to all the products in the video and also come over and visit me on my social media platforms including Discord which is live chat that I join every day before and after the live streams in the morning. Good to be back!

    Nice to see you back on the tube Jerry, hope your back gets well soon, i dont want you to feel offended, but your back is one of the main things that really benefits from some weight loss, i had a very bad back and it got better once i lost around 15 kilos, used to weigh around 130 kilos, now i'm 115 and it's much better. i know it's not easy, i know it's not fun , it's just for your health man. Do it or not, we still love you as you are mate. even if the weight is not the reason for your back, it will help you recover faster
    And hey, print some replacement covers for that pump and couple of clips to replace those bad ones.

    I've had the Coleman version with the older style pump for about 3.5 years. I am on my second water pump and have had to replace many of the O-rings inside the unit itself. The armature inside the water pump is plastic and eventually fails/warps. I even had to patch it - it is holding up great and have no regrets! Wound up making a nice spot in the basement and putting it down there. Nothing beats getting into a 100F tub after shoveling snow!

    May I recommend that while you use this dealing with your back stuff, staple the tarp tightly to a square of plywood, then put some bar floor mats on top so you don't have to stop in muddy puddles on the tarp getting in and out. I see that there is an insulator pad that goes underneath the tub itself. You could do a circular cut of plywood, or another sheet of something between the bar mat and the insulator pad, so it sits flush with the tub instead of losing contact at each of the holes in the bar mat. You should just be able to hose it off once in awhile if need be.
    Hopefully that all makes sense! But for 200 bucks, you can't beat that deal with how easy it is to setup and maintain! Hopefully it helps you with your back, brother!

      I've never used a 3D printer so forgive me. Is the resin/plastic the 3D printers use strong enough? If the factory ones broke, I would think a printed clip would be even less durable. Unless there is a fiber filled composite available.

    Barnacules If someone was in doubt you are a nerd, with the projector raised it on another level. Bro a suggestion for your back. You should work the ads, as they are the ones supporting your lower back, and when you doing this type of nerd stuff, try to engage with the abs, meaning, squize the abs so they are the ones doing the work and not your back. Love you dude.

    The one thing that next to no one tells you is these are NOT meant for colder climates. They have zero insulation and the heaters will kill over in days. My intex heater lasted a week in Oklahoma's winter and customer service said they aren't meant for freezing/ colder temps. SO this is pretty much a warmer weather tub. They are pretty neat other than that!
    **I realize he covered the pump burning out in cold weather and am glad he covered that. I'm just adding to it- it absolutely is a problem you WILL have in freezing temps.

    • @tenzin682
      @tenzin682 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      no, that goes under, in case you have a gravel area to put it on. Why would you need a solar cover for a hot tub? Had two of them.

  • @cochrandmicah
    @cochrandmicah 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    The gray tarp that has the bubbles is a solar cover used to trap in heat. The bubbles are meant to keep it from sinking in the water. We rarely see them for hot tbus at work, but put them on pools all the time.

  • @carnivorecave
    @carnivorecave 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    We have had ours for 4 years and still working. We found in the summer to leave the cover off, because the water would turn green in a couple days. I found an easy way to clean the filters is to put them in the tub with some unscented bleach and turn the bubbles on for the cycle. At the spa store there is a hand held vacuum for the bottom. You put your thumb over the hole in the end then when the nozzle is on bottom release your finger and it sucks the scummy stuff out, then just pull out and the water comes out and debris stay in the tube. I love my intex hot tub...

  • @sewashburn0529
    @sewashburn0529 7 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Don't blame the bubbles (machine or man-made), the temperature probably went down from the top being off of the hot tub. Also, the water stayed warm when the power was out because of the air between the inner and outer walls. It's a great insulator, just like in a thermos. Intex will wonder what caused the spike in sales after 6/20/17.

    • @nathangray8354
      @nathangray8354 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      YEAH the bubbles.... It's an air pump pulling cooler air from outdoors. It will always cool it off to run them. And the air in the walls in this could act like a thermos except it's a horrible insulator. Even the manufacturer says with them having no insulation to not use these outside in the winter....

    • @tomselier9307
      @tomselier9307 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @UrbanClimber
