Really looking forward to this, hopefully my experience is helpful for others. Decided this afternoon to stop by a supply store and had them test my water - super helpful, answered questions and got me exactly what I needed. McQueen Road, Chandler, AZ 85286, United States of America Testing Laboratory : Intertek Testing Services Shanghai Building No. Model Number : S100105 / S100205 Trade Name : Bestway Responsible Party in USA : Bestway (USA) Inc. I watched a bunch of YouTube videos and pieced together what I needed. To order the warning label, please contact your local Bestway After Sales Service. Tip: go to a pool/spa store to get set up with your chemicals. The added warmth in the water temp filling from water heater wasn’t helpful given that it was only ~30 gallons out of 177. Filling from there put the years of accommodated sediment and residue from the water heater tank into the hot tub 😣 chemicals and filtration are great so this ended up just being a hassle but also felt defeating (it was dark out so I didn’t realize what the water looked like as I was filling it).

I followed some advice I had seen here on Reddit to fill the tub from my water heater. Makes for a nice surface outside the tub, makes the floor comfortable to step into and should serve as good insulation under the tub.ĭon’t fill from your water heater. I bought two sheets of 1” rigid foil faced foam from Lowe’s, trimmed them to create a 6’圆’ pad and then put interlocking foam tiles from harbor freight down over that. Insulating the floor - mine is set up on a small deck and since it will have cool air under it i figured it would be helpful to insulate underneath it. That 2 degree cooldown over that period was just enough to make it bearable to stay in that long - not an intentional feature but I rather liked it. I used the jets several times for a few mins each and after being in it for an hour the temp was 102. In reality, it was 104 at the outset which was plenty hot.

I was concerned about it cooling down while using it. 8) To summarize, owning a hot tub, even a small / inflatable one like the saluspa, is a lot of work, with many unexpected challenges and problems to solve, with a significant learning curve and MANDATORY DAILY MAINTENANCE- it is like a small pet that you have to feed daily / clean its cage.

Used it for the first time tonight and planning to get up early tomorrow to use it again. This model is an inflatable 177 gallon with a lid/cover. It’s my first hot tub and wanted to share my initial thoughts and some tips I learned along the way. I recently picked up a Saluspa Laguna from Costco. Signs You Need to Replace Your Saluspa Pump/Heater: Unusual noises: If you hear unusual noises, such as grinding or screeching, it could indicate a problem with the bearings or motor of the pump/heater.
