The Intex PureSpa Portable Bubble Massage Spa is the number one inflatable hot tub for a reason. The tub is durable, easy to maintain, affordable, and delivers top-tier performance. Intex is a company that specializes in inflatable and pool products, so they have the experience and resources to offer a high quality. The 4-person Intex Spa was their first inflatable hot tub. It is the template other tubs are constructed off of because of the consistent high level performance it has demonstrated. Some inflatable hot tubs are built for up to four people, while others can seat six.
The reason we only gave it a 4 is that the warranty and return policy is not impressive at all. The pump will also need to run continuously, and the one provided isn’t meant to handle that kind of use. We had to upgrade ours soon after we purchased it to get it to work correctly.
There are some points that you should know before buying an hot tub. Best forPeople, who live in cold regions and need a basic configuration of a hot tub. Just like any other purchase, you must keep some important factors in mind before you invest in a hot tub. Read the owner’s manual carefully and follow all instructions regarding the proper operation and maintenance of your PureSpa.
That is sufficient to give a good all round invigorating bubble spa experience. The filter pump is capable of filtering over two complete tub intex frame pool volumes per hour, which is also good. Water is directed through the filter when the heater is activated, or it can be run independently.
Adding sanitizer and another chemical will control bacteria and viruses present in the spa water. Proper technique is important for water testing and treating the spa water. See your pool/spa professional for chemical, sanitizer, test kits and testing procedures questions. If you have ever had any back issues or any pain that is relieved by heat, you probably love hot tubs. The problem is that they are so expensive and not easily moved once you have one installed. Intex has a line of inflatable Pure Spas that have people talking.
Therefore, a range of 2.0 to 4.0 mg/I is acceptable as also recommended by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Center for Disease Control. •Keep the spa water properly sanitized to ensure a clean and unclogged filter cartridge.
With the built-in pump, the jacuzzi will inflate in just a few minutes; however, heating up the cold water can take up to 12 hours, depending on how cold the weather is. The larger sized model is slightly slower in the time it takes to heat and reheat the water, but the power and coverage of the bubble jets has not really been affected. Both the 77 and the 85 inch Intex hot tubs offer a brilliant bubble massage experience.
Although inflatable hot tubs will give you multiple years of use, they won’t last as long as a regular hot tub. Plan to replace it every five years or so unless you rarely use it. Mold can be a problem when storing inflatable hot tubs.
You’ll need to decide how many massage jets you want your hot tub to have and where you want them. If there are certain areas of your body you want to target, for example, check where the hot tub’s jets are placed and their water pressure. Also, something else to consider, is how some portable spa tubs have built-in foot and neck massage jets.
Press the button on the control panel to activate the heater, see the “Spa Control Panel” operation section. For an inflatable spa, these maintain the temperature reasonably well. When it’s cold outside, the temperature will drop a few degrees during use, but will be back to the optimal temperature by the next day. The only problem is that the heater and the pump are one unit. It must be run 24 hours a day to maintain the heat. Some people have reported that it costs them as much as $100 a month more in their electric bills.
