yeah i watched another video with him deflating with a vacuum.... that didn't work until i found my little bag with the pool kit in it with the DEFLATION VALVE! For the love of god people don't lose it. After rigging that up and putting vacuum on it deflated in couple minutes done and done! Ready for winter!
Thank you so much! I too was trying to deflate in the cold and receiving the error message. The comments section solved the problem.. dragging it to the basement to warm up now! Have a great winter!!
Thanks dude! I'm thinking about doing this soon and I had a basic idea on how to do it but wanted to see it done from start to end just to feel comfortable before I got to it. You delivered! Thanks again!
FYI, if your planning on deflating when the temperature is below 44 degrees, the unit will generate an error code. Found that out today :) Had to pull the unit in the basement to warm up to deflate. I enjoyed your video
Wow, thanks alot for such an informative video! I just bought the saluspa ibiza, but after only a few days I have to return it because it is defective, as it keeps losing air, and it came like that.Lucky walmart has easy return policy, but I liked it,so I am ordering another one, just got a lemon the 1st time!
So it’s now November and I’m preparing to take hot tub down for the season before we get freezing temps. Thanks for the video. Can’t put my hands on the instruction manual. That said, I think all of the enjoyment I got from this first season of hot-tubbing is about to crash land. So when it comes to the drain hose on the bottom of hot tub - if I have one - should it/will it be sticking out from underneath? I don’t see it. I tried to feel for it but of course it’s a bit heavy. Going to get a friend to see if he can get his hand underneath more. I had a whole plan to connect hose and let it drain down to a gutter connector. Thinking ahead for a plan B - you mentioned a pump if we have to use just the valve inside the hot tub. What kind of pump would I need? Thanks again for all the useful information!!
Thanks for the informative and very helpful video. I purchased one in July and in the Northeast it is time to put it away. I now understand al the pieces that came with it. My office mgr recommended putting some powder on the bottom before folding it, I would consider baking soda, is it necessary if I put it in the box in my basement for the winder?
This informational video was just what I needed to break it down correctly for the first time. Thank you for taking the time to show all of us...here comes the heat in Phoenix!!
I’m about to empty the hot tub for the season. I have mine in a screenhouse so not directly in the elements. Last season, my first season, I emptied and dried and left in the screenhouse. Will cover with some sort of plastic or canvas to reduce dust/pollen come early Spring. Is leaving it inflated and outside ok? Will this effect the material? In Maryland- can get some pretty cold days. Held up great last Winter. Thanks.
Hi There! Thank you for the good info. In my inflatable there is a plug at the bottom of the tub and looks like it may be a spot to add air? Or do you know what it's for? Thanks!
I purchased this spa and your videos helped me and gives me the confidence that I can set up and maintain it. My question is about the power plug. It seem to get hot us that normal? I have an outlet on the patio that I'm using. Thank you Val
I don't have that reverse valve or the bleeder one, either. Our Saluspa is less than a year old, but we're breaking it down until maybe someday we live somewhere it won't cost is a literal $1000/a year to heat and run the pump. California is a freaking nightmare. Ended up using the reverse function on a little pump we keep for mattresses. 🥺
this video is awesome. Thx! I followed along and started the inflation but after about 30 seconds I get an E02 error and it blinks/beeps. I've restarted several times - any idea what could be wrong? (I just saw your other reply below about debris and took everything apart and checked for junk and reassembled and still getting the E02)
As others have noted, the instructions that came with the spa are totally worthless. Bestway should be embarrassed. So, THANK YOU for this series of videos which are extremely helpful and informative. I was wondering what that black valve was for...thanks to you, now I know.lol
I was wondering what that part did. The old inflatable tub I had didn't have it so when I got a new tub I didn't read the directions because...well...I know how to do it!...lol
Thank you, Eric! I have deflated for the third time since purchasing 2 years ago, but this time I hear a significant amount of water still in the lining. I move it around, and it stays 100% dry. Any thoughts about where the water might be trapped? Thank you!
Water inside the pump? You can just disconnect all the hoses and let it sit for a day. It should be pretty dry after that if you're trying to pack it up
Take the air hose connect it stick it in one of the pump hose an turn it on it will blow any water in the pump out. I believe it said to do that in my instructions. Worked for me
We just bought this model. Excited to get it set up. Thanks for the Video. QUESTION: Do you keep it plugged in and On constantly? Even if not going to use it for a few days? We live in a cold area and dont want to waste energy keeping it On 24/7 but dont want it to freeze or take forever to warm back up when we want to use it.
It can get pretty cold where we are as well. Generally what I do is turn it off at night after use and then turn it back on in early morning next day. This helps save a bit of energy
@@ourunfilteredlife8119 that all depends on how much temp you lose when it's off. I lose about 5 degrees on a cold night, so turning it off still saves more over a month. If you're losing more than that, then you are absolutely correct
@@ProblemSolvedwithEric yes. Agreed. My water would get in the 50s if I was to turn it off when it's cold out. But I live where the winter air freezes snot and burns your face.
I am using a hose to drain it it is barely trickling out! This will take weeks. Any ideas to speed up! Your hose is so long how did you get such good flow?
Make sure there are no kinks, make sure the hose is perfectly flat or going downhill. If the hose has to curve a lot or go up and down, it will slow the flow. Make sure nothing is blocking the drain inside the tub. Also the flow should speed up after a little time. Sometimes, it starts out slow
My Hot tub directions seem to suggest in pictures to run air through the pump to ensure no water will be in there. The pictures are not too helpful but indicate 5 hours? We are in Canada where it gets very cold…
Make sure it's level or going downhill with the least amount of bends possible. Make sure it's not kinked anywhere. It will start off slow and speed up after a bit

Deflating at 7:42

You just saved me a great deal of time and trouble my friend. Big thanks!
Thank you! Your instructions are much better than the manual.
That manual is really poor.
FYI, if your planning on deflating when the temperature is below 44 degrees, the unit will generate an error code. Found that out today :) Had to pull the unit in the basement to warm up to deflate. I enjoyed your video
I didn't know that actually. Thank you
I just had the same issue, I solved it by continually turning off the circulate and heat buttons (bottom right and left) during deflation.
@@jimm8594 they don't light up/activate when engaging the bubbles/aeration button.
I got an error code at 80 degrees lol, unplugging and plugging back in worked
Crap I'm about to deflate mine at 20 degrees!..lol.. It still has warm water I'm draining so maybe I'm good!...We'll see !
Wow, thanks alot for such an informative video!

Definitely going to be played by Steve Zahn when the movie version of this comes out.
Thanks for the video, full dad mode 👍
Hey Eric. Disregard!! We found the nozzle!! Yea!!
Super helpful, thanks for producing this video. Directions not super clear.
Thanks for a super video. You answered all the questions I had and it was so easy to empty, deflate and pack down the hot tub.
I like this guy he is so helpful when you see his video
thankyou
Great video, thank you. What is the model? We're going to get one that has that type of cover around the outside.
So it’s now November and I’m preparing to take hot tub down for the season before we get freezing temps. Thanks for the video. Can’t put my hands on the instruction manual.

It's a good idea. Will keep moister from building up and prevent mold from growing. Not 100% necessary, but a good idea
Thank you for the help. Great detailed video.
Thank you so much!! Super helpful, made breakdown a breeze!
This informational video was just what I needed to break it down correctly for the first time. Thank you for taking the time to show all of us...here comes the heat in Phoenix!!
Absolutely! I'm ready hehe. Glad the video helped
Thank you for this video. Very helpful
Awesome video Eric, thank you!

It should be okay to leave inflated. Mine stays inflated and outside all year long
thanks, Eric, in the manual they don't show anything about it
Thanks for the valuable info!! 👍
Thanks for making this video.
Thank you for sharing have a beautiful day God bless you always
Thanks for the info! Very appreciated
Hi There! Thank you for the good info. In my inflatable there is a plug at the bottom of the tub and looks like it may be a spot to add air? Or do you know what it's for? Thanks!
The plug on the floor is for draining water
I purchased this spa and your videos helped me and gives me the confidence that I can set up and maintain it. My question is about the power plug. It seem to get hot us that normal? I have an outlet on the patio that I'm using.
Thank you
Val
The plug shouldn't be getting hot. Check the voltages you have at that outlet if you can. Also do you have the spa plugged into an extension cord?
Good demo
I don't have that reverse valve or the bleeder one, either. Our Saluspa is less than a year old, but we're breaking it down until maybe someday we live somewhere it won't cost is a literal $1000/a year to heat and run the pump. California is a freaking nightmare.

Great video, it was very informative and we were able to follow to the T. Love the seats too!
Very helpful thanks

(I just saw your other reply below about debris and took everything apart and checked for junk and reassembled and still getting the E02)
Generally that's temperature related or power related. Are you in a particularly cold or hot area while you're trying to inflate?
As others have noted, the instructions that came with the spa are totally worthless. Bestway should be embarrassed.
So, THANK YOU for this series of videos which are extremely helpful and informative. I was wondering what that black valve was for...thanks to you, now I know.lol
Thank you so much! Hey what rug do you have under it? What material is it? Love The look of it
I was wondering what that part did. The old inflatable tub I had didn't have it so when I got a new tub I didn't read the directions because...well...I know how to do it!...lol
Thanks, it was very helpful.
What is the cover that was wrapped around your spa? I have a square one and it's all one piece? Looking for insulation options. Thank you!!!!
Only some of the spas come with the optional extra liners. It's just extra protection and insulation
Thank you! This video was perfect and you nailed everything.
Thank you, Eric! I have deflated for the third time since purchasing 2 years ago, but this time I hear a significant amount of water still in the lining. I move it around, and it stays 100% dry. Any thoughts about where the water might be trapped? Thank you!
It's likely inside of the airjet holes
Is there anything you need to do to the pump? Like a way to remove residual water? Awesome video!
Water inside the pump? You can just disconnect all the hoses and let it sit for a day. It should be pretty dry after that if you're trying to pack it up
Take the air hose connect it stick it in one of the pump hose an turn it on it will blow any water in the pump out. I believe it said to do that in my instructions. Worked for me
I didn't get two of those parts with my spa....brqand new in the box - those parts aren't listed or included
Which parts? I'd contact Bestway and have them send them to you
We just bought this model. Excited to get it set up. Thanks for the Video. QUESTION: Do you keep it plugged in and On constantly? Even if not going to use it for a few days? We live in a cold area and dont want to waste energy keeping it On 24/7 but dont want it to freeze or take forever to warm back up when we want to use it.
It can get pretty cold where we are as well. Generally what I do is turn it off at night after use and then turn it back on in early morning next day. This helps save a bit of energy
It actually cost more to shut off and reheat than to let it keep its temperature.
@@ourunfilteredlife8119 that all depends on how much temp you lose when it's off. I lose about 5 degrees on a cold night, so turning it off still saves more over a month. If you're losing more than that, then you are absolutely correct

Thank you! Problem solved! I just took off hose & let the t drain off deck into yard! Flooding rocks some bit getting job done much faster! 😂
Dude. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for your help in setting up and enjoying our spa. We love the seats that you have in the spa. Where can we purchase these?
Here's a link for the seats. Thanks for the comment!

As long as you keep it plugged in, it has an anti-freeze function
What happens if you find water where it's not supposed to be while deflating? It must have leaked through the seams
What is the 2 inch round piece inside next to the filter and chemical dispenser?
If you're talking about the port above the chemical dispenser, that's an air intake for the jets
Thank you very much
Blow the water out of the internal jets first
I'm at the deflation process and the machine keeps saying eo2 and brepig, do you know that the issue with that is?
Make sure all pipes are clear of debris and the pump isn't over heating. Unplug it for about 30 minutes then plug it back in
Mine is inflating it instead of deflating. What am
I doing wrong here
What if you have the one thats all one piece? How yo you fold it
If you have the spa with no liner on the outside, I would just deflate and roll like a sleeping bag almost
I can't find those parts. Where do I get them?
Which parts? They should've come with the spa itself. You can order extras from Amazon or sometimes the bestway website
My hose isn't draining any water. Thoughts?
Make sure it's level or going downhill with the least amount of bends possible. Make sure it's not kinked anywhere. It will start off slow and speed up after a bit
Thanks!!!
That was easy
Siphon the water out using a hose
Why? There is a built in drain
Thumbs up
Great video, thanks so much.
Thanks! Really helpful!
