@@TubTalkReviews What's the cost average for this, from an electric bill standpoint, how much extra cost typically am I looking at. I'm asking you because you've used this, I figured you have a average estimate extra cost on power bill.
@TubTalkReviews When you set a temperature for it for the first time and it reaches that temp does it keep it at that temperature or shut the heat and filtration off?
what’s your opinion on the likelihood of major leaks and/or catastrophic failure? I want to put it in my basement, throughout the -40C winters … it has waterproof floors and crappy old baseboards so even with a total collapse/dumping all water the damages wouldn’t be huge, just a pain to clean up…but would still like some assurance that this is possible and not bound to result in a flood
I think they’re great! And most of them have Inflatable seats too. If moneys not an issue, those two things make them a great choice. I really like the Saluspa Santorini: amzn.to/4c7aZAl
They did and end of summer sale and they actually sold out temporarily I believe. We got ours for $539 too. Still worth the investment, but that savings is always nice.
We have not had issues with this, but always best to keep it protected if you can. I'd be most concerned about your outlet/plug getting wet when plugged in.
We are having problems with ours, started to deflate in the second year, and found the leak, and patched it. the third year the leak is even bigger, we still trying to figure it out that part. We already replaced a part from inside the pump (thank God for TH-cam it was $12 fix but it was a pain) I understand these things are not meant to last forever but it seems it comes with a lot of issues and Coleman doesn't have the support to fix the problems.
Just set it to the temperature you want and use the timer to tell it for how long you want it to turn off for. You’re but the first person to ask. We’ll make a video either this week or next week that details this.
We’ll be testing it this winter doing a couple things to put it out under 40 degrees. But Saluspa says not to use it under 40 degrees. We’ll be making a video update then.
@@nickbenson9542 Not at all. I've had mine in my garage for 3 years now. Just make sure you open your garage door as well as any side door when you use it so that it can get adequate ventilation to prevent that from happening

I hope you can help me out with this, the end of the electrical plugin with the reset button where you plug into the electrical receptacle kept on popping off. So he changed the end to a regular 3 prong electrical end without a reset button. Well they plugged it in and the spa started heating. My sister thinks that she wants to unplug it after each use. So the next day when she plugged it in the jets began to work but it wouldn't heat up. Then she got an error code 02 and then the jets quit working. We no longer have a reset button to push in. Can I purchase a new correct electrical end for it? Is there anything you could tell me to do?
I’m not sure. I’m not sure I would have removed the plug. How long ago did you buy it and is it still under warranty? The code e02 most often come up for us when the filter is dirty, so you might just need to change or get a new filter. This code shouldn’t be an electrical issue and has to do with water not being pumped correctly through the tube
They’re fairly strong, but I wouldn’t to call them “jets”. If you’re looking for something more like a traditional hot tub jets, I’d look at this: amzn.to/43RWI7z
@@TubTalkReviews 1500lbs of water plus 500lbs of people… if it’s a 2x6 joist then each hanger is rated at 300lbs… if it’s a 2x8 joist then the hanger is rated at 500. But that’s for a new deck not an aged one. i would get under there and look how it’s attached to the house.
@@esquire9445 I see your POV. Always best to contact your contractor before including one of these on your deck. from our research here is the formula to figure out the weight per square foot for this inflatable hot tub. Weight of Hot Tub + (Number of Gallons of Water x 8.34 lbs) + (Number of People Spa Can Seat x 185 lbs)] / # of Square Feet = Pounds Per Square Foot (50lbs)+(190 x 8.34) + (4 x 185lbs) / 19.63 square feet the pound per square foot on this hot tub is 83.29. Generally speaking a the size of the deck can hold the total area x 50 pounds per square foot. And that doesn’t necessarily mean a deck can only hold 50 psf, or else people would be falling right through their deck everyday. You use this equation to figure out the the total capacity the deck can hold. So a 12x12 deck can hold ~7,200 pounds. And that provides a general idea of the total weight a deck can hold. My point being I’ve seen plenty of traditional 500+ pound hot tubs out on decks. These lightweight inflatable hot tubs SHOULD BE fine. At the end of the day, each person looking to put one of these on their deck should contact their contractor to find out for themselves. This article covers it pretty well if you’d like to check it out: www.konacontractors.com/blog/how-to-determine-how-much-weight-your-deck-can-hold/
That really sucks! I wouldn’t be happy either. Is there an error code, or it’s just straight turning all the way off?? Could be a power supply issue if so. The control panel has a 360 day warranty, if so. Might be worth it to reach out to the manufacturer, to have them send a new one.
just got mine from the amazon driver, was 283 now over 500 this is my 5th one over the years my last lasted 3 years thats running 24/7 love it
That’s so good to know! Love hearing that. Thanks for the comment.
The most important part of this set up is making sure your deck is capable of holding the weight haha
True! I think we’re gonna make a video on this.
How did you determine if your deck could hold the weight?
How do know if your deck can hold it ?
@@TubTalkReviews What's the cost average for this, from an electric bill standpoint, how much extra cost typically am I looking at. I'm asking you because you've used this, I figured you have a average estimate extra cost on power bill.
@@RickyHill-b8fmine started looking like the wood was bending so I put it on concrete instead lol
What size AWG extension cord do you recommend? What insulating mat do you recommend under this tub?
Let me know too please. Thanks !
It's currently 57% off on Amazon, $283.00.
That’s awesome! Get it! So worth that price.
Haha, I actually did buy it. How long is it supposed to take to warm up?
@@heavy_kevy about 12 to 18 hours depending on where your keeping it
@@TubTalkReviews oh, man. That’s a lot longer than I anticipated lol thank you for replying!
That’s puts it into impulse buy range. Mine just arrived.
Tub talk!!!!! Awesome!!!
Thank you!!
@TubTalkReviews When you set a temperature for it for the first time and it reaches that temp does it keep it at that temperature or shut the heat and filtration off?
It should stay at the set temperature and leaves filtration on after you initially heat it up.
I just grabbed this for 283 on Amazon 🙌
Nice!! I’ve seen they have a great sale right now.

I personally don’t think I would do it. Do you have a place to drain it down there?
@@TubTalkReviews there is a floor drain, but i’d just run the hose out the door onto the sloped yard
@@dexter-wy5bo in that case you might be good
What do you think of the spas hat have hydrojets? are they worth the proce difference?
I think they’re great! And most of them have Inflatable seats too. If moneys not an issue, those two things make them a great choice. I really like the Saluspa Santorini:
amzn.to/4c7aZAl
I like your video, but, what kind of extra chemicals do you need for maintenance?
We really like using chlorine, bromine, or Spa Marvel.
Chlorine: amzn.to/4dTDSSe
Bromine: amzn.to/3QNrSYh
Spa Marvel: amzn.to/3UN7w2y
Great video. I must’ve missed the window. Amazon shows $539 now 😢

Can you leave the pump/heating unit out in the rain? Is it weatherproof?
We have not had issues with this, but always best to keep it protected if you can. I'd be most concerned about your outlet/plug getting wet when plugged in.

I see what you're saying. At the end of the day -- they are inflatable. You could try something like this to patch it up: amzn.to/3L4R2yF
Just buy another one after 3 years lol
Does the floor inflate as well?
No it doesn’t. It is padded though and soft.
How do you guys feel about the spas that come with WIFI control
Go for it!
I "think" I ordered one on clearance from Bed Bath and Beyond on nex5 to nothing. I was going to use it as an ice plunge in my garage. Thoughts?
I think this would be a great use of it! Let me know how it works!
Does this run off a regular electrical outlet or did you need an electrician come to do any work?
It runs off of standard electric!
@@TubTalkReviews many thanks
What settings do you leave it on when not in use? Was told om supposed to leave it on at all times but I don't know what settings I'm supposed to use.
Just set it to the temperature you want and use the timer to tell it for how long you want it to turn off for. You’re but the first person to ask. We’ll make a video either this week or next week that details this.
I just got a used one and I can hear the pump when it's running from over 100 feet away, is this normal?
No, that is not normal. How is it functioning daily?
Good video
We appreciate that! We hope this video was helpful for you too. :)
Can you tell me if there is noticeable suction at the filter? Ours is hardly noticeable
No there shouldn’t be super noticeable suction at the filter.
Is it 110 volt and can i put it in my basement
I believe it is 120, and yes. Just make sure you have a way to drain it.
How does this hold up in the winter?
We’ll be testing it this winter doing a couple things to put it out under 40 degrees. But Saluspa says not to use it under 40 degrees. We’ll be making a video update then.
mine did great during the last winter just cant turn it off
Mine has worked great during winter, but I also keep it in the garage and only expose it to outside air when in use
@@sebastienlinck4908any issues with mold or anything? Was debating on doing the exact same thing

Why do I get an error code and heater and pump shuts off ? I’ve only had it a few days.
Probably something to do with the filters. What’s the error code?
Can someone please run the pump/bubbles so we can hear how loud it is?
They are about the same loudness as a traditional hot tub if that helps! :-)
@@TubTalkReviews It does. Thank you.
