Coleman Hawaii AirJet Large Square 4 to 6 Person Inflatable Hot Tub Portable Outdoor Spa with 140 AirJets and EnergySense Cover, Grey

I purchased the square version of the Coleman SaluSpa. The product came in one large box, with the spa itself vacuum-sealed and very compact. The pump and compressor unit took two people (me and my five year old ;-)) to remove it. Once removed, it was easily handled and transported to where I wanted to set it up. It came with a ground cloth, which is basically a low mil bubble wrap. Set everything in place, followed the directions to pump up the unit, filled with water to the marks on the side as shown, turned it on and BAM, instant hot tub. Now, if you fill this thing with water from you spigot outside, it takes about a half day to get up to temp. I’ve only had it in the summer, but it hit the low 60’s at night the last couple of days and it is 104 degrees when I got in it in the morning. A couple of items of advice: 1a - Buy bromine, not chlorine. The vapors from chlorine with make it rough to handle. 1b - When you buy bromine, 1” tablets don’t fit in the chemical dispenser. I had to chop them in half to make them fit. Took me about 10 min to cut up a whole bottle of Clorox brand. Now they fit perfectly. 2 - Get a skimmer net if you don’t have one. Your body hair and other stuff will get in it and you ought to skim it each and every time you get out. The filters catch some of this stuff but not as much as you would think. 3 - Get a pack of 6 or so filters. I took mine out for the first time in 3 weeks and they look really dirty, but I completely rinsed them out to near brand new condition. 4 - Get scrub brush and go over the water line and clean it a little bit every time you use it. Hell, you’re just sitting there anyway, what else do you have to do... :-) 5 - Use it. The worst thing you can do to hot tub, pool, etc, is just let the water sit there. It needs to have you use it and turn the water over and slosh around stagnant parts. To recap: this thing rocks, it is affordable, it is easy to set up, it works like it should and it can be put up if the weather gets too cold where you live to it...or, you just want a break from hot tub maintenance for a while.

Three weeks in and very pleased. Still working on getting the water chemicals fine tuned, but that's separate from this product. Purchased in November in Iowa, temperatures have been well below recommendations for outdoor operations, but thought we'd give it a try and it has performed very well. The quality seems to be very good. Even with the cold temperatures, it hasn't lost a notable amount of air. I did set it up/ inflate indoors and carry it outside. That way three vinyl is at a warm enough temperature to stretch as it should. Placed it on top of 1.5" foam board to help insulate the bottom side. But beyond that, the snap on cover and the energy saver insulated cover that covers all the way to the ground have kept it at 104 in below zero temperatures. I've kept the pump running continuously (we'll see how the electric bill is) and we put an insulated jacket on that as well. Do have temperature drop while in use, but minor and to be expected. The only negative so far is that the inflatable piece of the snap on cover had 2 pin holes out of the box, but I believe I have been able to address those. Overall, very happy and have enjoyed with our family of 4.

I purchased this hot tub last year. I understood it was unlikely to last as long as a normal hot tub but I figured if it lasted only two or three years it would be worth it considering the rising costs of a conventional hot tub. I set it up and it worked beautifully for the summer and fall. Then I drained it and carefully put it away for the winter. I brought it out again this spring and attempted to inflate it again but it would not hold air which meant that the walls of the tub would not stay inflated and because of that the tub was useless. I had several calls with best buy the actual maker of the tub, Bestway, (although the tub clearly says it is a Coleman product) and they said that I should bubble test the inflateable walls, which I had done and have repeatedly done again many times, and there are no leaks, but during the process I noticed by sound and by bubbles that the fixture above the inflo and outflo was leaking air and deflating the unit. All I ever heard back from Bestway was that the inflateable walls were out of warentee and could not be replaced because they no longer produced that model. I sent pictures of bubbles escaping from that part but no one was able to even tell me even what that part does. So a hot tub that seems like a great buy has turned out to be worthless after only one season. Bestway has been completely unhelpful and I can only sat Shame on Coleman for putting their till now good name on a product that they now say they have nothing to do with its product life. Amazon also has been no help and everyone sends us back to Bestway who obviously cares about nothing more than absolving themselves of respnsability. So StAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT and Bestbut itself or the loss will be entirely yours.
