I personally have the Coleman Saluspa Ibiza with the classic Bestway pump. However, most of all the hotub brands are the exact same so this review goes for ALL of them. Here's my brutally honest review of my inflatable hot tub.
Another great video on the spa! I did order a few things from your links; however, I didn’t see a link for the upgraded patch kit. I know from my pool not to waste time or energy on patches that don’t hold. I had an Intex pool with the same issue. Flex tape did the job for my needs with that but I surely wouldn’t use it on this. Same issue, plastic peals off and then the glue is super hard to remove. I’d be interested in what patches you ended up with and some insight as to how well it’s held up? Thanks for your help and for posting the videos!
Thanks for catching that. I added the Heavy Duty kit to both video descriptions. So far it's holding up much better with this kit. Heavy Duty Vinyl patch kit: amzn.to/44NJ5VN
May I ask how you got a hole in your hot tub? I've had a couple of these and have yet to have a problem with puncturing a hole in mine? *knock on wood. In your video, you do mention something about rings or jewelry getting caught so I'm assuming it was that but just wanted to verify. I always get a 3 or 4 year protection plan from Allstate on mine as well just to be safe.
No but I’ve always had the hum so I put the foam padding under it to mute it down. Luckily I haven’t heard the arching. Might want to look into that. Reach out to the manufacturer via their website maybe. Hope it works out. Happy New Year
I got my spa almost 6 months ago,didn't know what a chemical dispenser was? I thought there should be something on there ? You use granules you say! But I noticed both of the entryways from the filters are dirty or got hair in them. Is there a way to clean the outside of them? I didn't get this tub with instructions I bought it used for Marketplace! I am learning trial and error basis!! I found out using too much bleach turns the water black having the temperature up too high and too long will make it turn green. Is there a certain temperature I should keep it at and how should I do that? And how should I set that on the control panel?
You might be able to google for the instruction manual if it’s the same model. Yes, be careful with the granules only need a tiny little bit less than a teaspoon depending on how often you go in and then you need to use the test strips to check all the other chemicals as well. Again, not sure what model you have, but if it’s the same, you have to hold the lock button in the upper left corner for three seconds to unlock the control panel then you can change the temperature to whatever you want. Also make sure the lower right and lower left Indicators are on, one is heat and one is water flow. The heat one turns red when the heat is on and green one it’s off based on the temperature you set. I leave the water flow on and never turn it off. Otherwise the water will get nasty.
@@EDCKnifeAddiction I don’t think so. Whenever you unplug it and plug it back in, it won’t turn the pump back on without you manually selecting it on the panel.
@@Aktor2thank you for replying! Why is it so hard to find inside dimensions for all of these brands?😂 Is yours about 56"? I’m leaning towards square to be able to float on my back diagonally. (With feet on the corner.😊) love your video! I’m originally from those chitown northern burbs. Past 23 years in nordern’ Visconsin.😂

Cigar ash fell on it. It was a dumb move on my part.
Can you give a link to your fence?
Sorry the fence was there when I moved in.
Ever hear an arching kind of sound in motor? Mine doesn't seem to be running right

@@Aktor2 thanks
What about instead of running pump all day, you put a timer on it and run it half a day? Would that still work?
@@EDCKnifeAddiction I don’t think so. Whenever you unplug it and plug it back in, it won’t turn the pump back on without you manually selecting it on the panel.
