Scott Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Just bought one for the "Summer". Anyone got one? Opinions? Can't really go wrong as far as the money is concerned. I know it's a poor mans Spa, but I am a poor man lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I have one. They're really good, obviously not as good as a hot tub, but you can't go wrong for the money. a few things about the spas: - They take a long time to fill, and then require approx 24 hours to get upto temperature. Pouring hot water in won't assist the process. - Once it's up and running, run a PH test, and get any chlorine and water equalisers you require. - Keep cats away from it! (why mines in the garage currently) They're really good for parties, and they pack up to a fairly compact size, so storage isn't too much of an issue.

Sounds good, I read a couple of reviews so know about the long filling/heating times already. I'm surprised that pouring hot water in doesn't help? Is it because of how much hot water you would require to actually make any difference? I guess cat's can easily put holes in it then? I'm looking forward to it anyhow.

Yeah. I even started putting boiling water (pan fulls of the stuff), just goes cold! I guess cat's can easily put holes in it then? They're far more durable than a paddling pool etc, but are still vulnerable to some punctures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
