***Feb 6 Update*** After reviewing a vid on YouTube I decided to order a new plug ($18 on Amazon) to replace the existing one. It was easy to replace and there is now power to my hot tub! Not sure why the old one died, but possibly due to either water damage or the extension cord I was initially using was not heavy duty enough. **Update Feb 1, 2024** The last time using the hot tub was a month ago. We had snow and super freezing temps coming so I took the hot tub down and brought the motor inside. We are now back to 60 plus degree weather (today was 68) so I attempted to set the hot tub back up, however, after plugging in the machine, it powered on for a second and went back off. I unplugged and tried it a few more times with no luck. It does not power on at all. Heartbreaking. I'll troubleshoot when I have more time and will contact customer service if I can't get it going. I will update again. -Original Review- I bought the SaluSpa Cancun 2-4 person inflatable hot tub (grey wicker print) in early April 2023. My first hot tub and the best purchase I've made in years. Soaking in the tub surrounded by trees first thing on a crisp cold morning while watching the sunrise and basking under the moon light at night was something I didn’t know I needed in my life. After nearly 10 months of fairly consistent use, here are my observations and experiences. Basic Stuff - First, the water gets HOT and the bubbles really pop! It's both super soothing and a lot of fun. I’ve only had two average size people in this at a time and it’s comfortable and spacious, though your feet may bump into each other from time to time. Three people could work, but it would be kind of tight and you’ll definitely be touching. Idk for sure, but I think four people would be like sardines in a can. - Someone else set up the tub for me so I can't speak to that process first hand. I watched him follow the instructions and he had it up and ready to fill in a flash. It didn't take long or seem difficult. - The air jets are fun and the bubbles pretty potent, but they have no pressure to actually massage you. Idc though, I still love having them on. I fill the tub to the brim…much higher than the fill line b/c…for some reason it’s more fun to have the water up to my ears with the bubbles splashing out chaotically all around me. - The motor is noticeable, but not too loud or annoying, imo. With jets on though, it’s pretty loud, but still does’t bother me. - The Bestway Saluspa filters that come with this are great and last long if you clean them regularly. I bought some cheap filters when the bestway ones were done and they did NOT filter well and did NOT last long with the same amount of care. Despite being more expensive, I ended up ordering the Bestway Saluspa filters as they filter better and last longer. - I originally used a plastic tarp underneath the tub before switching to one of those thin 100% PET fiber outdoor rugs from Home Depot. The HD outdoor rug got moldy quickly so I bought a round polypropylene outdoor rug that sits underneath. My Hot Water Hack After the first use I found an easy remedy for keeping my water hot. My laundry room is right off of the patio with a separate door leading to the outside. I purchased a garden hose splitter (tried a few and the best one was AINEED Water Hose Splitter 2 Way Heavy Duty here on Amazon, pic included) and attached one side to the hot water line of the washing machine and the other to a Silver Bullet expandable pocket hose (because it's lead free). I ran the pocket hose from the washing machine through the pet door to the hot tub outside and to the hose I added a nozzle with a shut off lever. When the tub water would start cooling down, I would simply turn on the lever and add hot water while still sitting and relaxing in the tub. With this method, I could stay in it for hours, and would often do so, with 104 degree water. I also fill it up this way after cleaning it so that the water is hot and ready to go immediately. I eventually had an outdoor shower rigged up by running two hoses - one from the hot and cold lines on the washing machine to a watering wand that is connected to a pole. Another spigot splitter is used to connect the hose that leads to the hot tub. Super rigged, super great! In the summer I take outdoor showers with my flowers and Arborvitae trees! Cleaning & Treating Water For the first several months, I did not use any chemicals to treat the water. Because of this, I had to empty and clean it every 3 to 5 days when the floor of the tub starts to get a little slimy. Got tired of the frequency so started using Bromine tablets but that alone did not stop the slime. Then began using an algicide which makes the water last a month or more. Without two caps of the algicide, the floor will get slimy. I haven’t tried the algicide without the bromine tablets in the chemical floater, thinking I will try and see if I can get away with not using bromine - I dislike the smell. Cleaning is easy. Just pull the plug to drain the water and detach the 3 hose connections from the heater, which is also easy. I then spray cleaning vinegar and sprinkle baking soda in the tub and use a rag to thoroughly wash down the inside. I then put it on its side and use a water hose to spray it down and rinse it out. Once its back on it’s bottom, hook up the 3 hoses to the heater and start refilling with water which fills fairly quickly. The cleaning process is quick and easy for me. But I can see how some might not want to do this very often or at all. Maybe with stronger chemicals and shocking the water etc., one might be able to go longer without cleaning it, idk. I’d rather clean more frequently and have less chemicals. Would love a salt option, but I fear it would damage the pump after while. Error Codes I have had an error code occur on a couple of occasions. When you turn on the heat, the filter automatically kicks on. So if you’re filing the tub and turn on the heat before the water is higher than the filter, it will kick off the motor and give you an error. Simply unplug the unit and it will reset. The Cover The cover has an inflatable piece that you insert to keep it from sinking in when it rains. When inflated fully and water in tub filled completely, the cover stays afloat and does not sink in during rain. However, when the inflatable insert is not full and no water in the tub, the cover will sink in due to rain water pooling on top. Someone mentioned they had rain water leaking through their cover into the tub. That has not been my experience, mine does not seem to leak. No Wifi? No Problem Someone mentioned in a review that the heater will not work without a wifi connection. I’m not sure what they are talking about. All of the buttons to operate the machine are on the machine and that plugs into the electrical outlet. Wifi is not needed to use this. If there is an app for this, I do not use it so maybe that’s their issue, but not sure. I’ve never had an issue with any of the buttons on the machine itself. Electricity Cost I’ve kept the heater on and running pretty much non-stop for the past 5 months and it has had very little impact on my bill. Overall I absolutely love this thing and like someone else mentioned, it has become my favorite toy! I love being in water and I love being outside, so it’s a wonderful experience for me every time. In the summer I used it as a plunge pool by day (before getting a larger inflatable pool) and hot tub by night. Superb for my muscles after the gym and if I went back in time knowing what I know now, I would buy it all over again, but sooner! It's extremely comfortable and enjoyable to be in. I stretch, meditate, do yoga, watch movies, listen to podcasts and just enjoy nature while in the tub. This thing is great for this time of my life, but when I move to my forever home, I’m definitely buying a hard shell jacuzzi tub.
