Bestway Lay-Z-Spa Tahiti AirJet Inflatable Hot Tub

Affordable spa luxury that heats water – The best thing about this, aside from affordable price, is the fact that it heats the water. It does take several hours but it’s very quiet. An Inflatable lid keeps it nice and insulated, in Autumn, there’s only a 10° C drop overnight, from 40°C down to 30°C, - which means reheating it is much quicker than if it were 20°C say. Today, on this warm… Read more

autumn Queensland Australian Day, it took five hours to go from 30 to 40°C (11am - 4pm) A proper ‘plumbed in’ fibreglass spa averages about $5000+, so this one, that was only $550 is a total bargain. It’s perfect for renters because it doesn’t need to be plumbed in, it just needs to sit on a flat surface. Mine doesn’t leak at all. Ofcourse the hose will have to reach it, if you can attach a hose to your hot water tap then that saves a lot of time heating, for your first spa, and or any water change overs. Whenever I change over the water I can use it on my washing, with my 15w submersible pump, -it does five loads. (I can then re-use that water on the garden -no water is wasted at my place! ! ) So if the lid is kept on, and it’s out of sunlight, then algae doesn’t get a chance to form, and no chlorine is required, or minimal amount - maybe a splash of vinegar -it’s worth checking the pH every so often. I’m the only one that uses mine, but this is a two-person spa, I think it would be a little cramped with two, but that’s just me. I do find it has to be really hot, or I get a little achy afterwards - so I don’t bother getting in until it reaches at least 37°C, ideally wait till it gets to 40 °C, but it does depend on the temperature outside. I wasn’t sure whether I would like it in summer, as it gets really hot here, and I know I often feel like hot baths in winter - but this autumn has been very warm, and I have loved having a spa in the cooler evenings. It was very easy to set up and connect. I found I just had to watch a couple of YouTube videos and not bother reading the manual! YouTube videos are great, although there is some variation between models, for instance, the Tahiti has an additional hose for another outlet.

It would be really good if it beeped when it reached 40°C to let me know it’s ready, even if it was smart connected to an app on phone, to control the temperature, that would be great.

The company that makes these inflatable spas - I looked on their website, and this is their business mission: “Born to make the world ever better” ! I love it -because this is exactly what they have done, a touch of luxury for low / middle income people too. Thanyou Intek

It was Catch.com who took 3 1/2 mnths to deliver it. And the Courier Allied express who refused to deliver it even though they said they had it at their depot? - weirdos?. Way too many problems to shop there again. Big W sells it for $499, but they’re out of stock.
