We finally got ours up and running about 1 month now & love it!! I guess that 'Chem-connect' is for your bromine tabs & you can just adjust the gauge. We just use the floaty bromine thingy (technical-talk 🤭) & it maintains the water nicely. Once again, thanks for your updates, Tim. Merry Christmas to you & your family~🎄
I LOVE THE PRINT ON THE OUTSIDE OF YOURS... I just got the plain old gray exterior (with the same blue/white bubbles print inside). But I CAN'T complain it was ONLY $199 bucks on Black Friday last year. 👍👍 I had it set up all spring & summer but I'm taking it down today because our temperature is supposed to drop into the 20's on Monday. 🥶 I will miss it greatly until next spring. 😥 Although it says it comes with "freeze shield technology" I DON'T trust it.
BTW: For those asking about the chemical connect it is simple to use. You put 2 bromine tablets into it; twist the cap back on & hook it into place on the tub wall (above the filter). It replaces all the chemical balancing agents (seen on the table here) all you have to do is put two new tablets in every two weeks & change your filter. I also keep one in a chemical floater in the middle of the hot tub with a scum sponge. FYI: Ring the scum sponge out after each use on the ground outside the hot tub & throw it in your dishwasher weekly. 😁
Wow after 3 and a half months your water looks amazing you are doing a great job I will definitely need some tips from you thank you for sharing God bless you always have a beautiful day
Seriously!! We had ours for a month and I have to Drain it already. I'd love to know the process that you use On a day-to-day basis to keep your water this clean including the products that you use
I drained mine also after 3 weeks. I think mine got Biofilm. My water wasn't clear anymore and kinda bit slimy feeling. I did find out that you can shock it and don't have to drain it so often. I hope that info helps.
Mine stays fairly clear with shocking it once every so often when it looks cloudy. I put 3 large bromine tablets in my Chem filter that came with the hot tub. It attaches to the water inlet, above one of my filters. It keeps a continuous flow. There's also a water clarifier, a defoamer, & an algae remover that sells separately. Depending on your problem. I've used them , & they work! In between adjusting the chemicals& shock. I rarely use it, as they cleared up my problem quickly. Keeping filters cleaned regularly really helped me too. We've only had to drain for leak repairs. I had no idea how or what chemicals to add to my tub, just watched plenty of you tube videos which helped me tremendously! Thanks everyone for sharing your knowledge. You guys ROCK!
Do you know why my hot tub does not go on when I plug it in? I had it running last year and I. Dec i had to drain it because I had a hole and had to patch it , so we did and then we filled it up and plugged it in and the light comes on and then goes out. It’s not the outlet because I used it the whole time it was running before!!!
Mine is leaking from under the pump. Any ideas what it could be? I've read about bad gaskets and stuff however this thing is only 4 days old. Thank you for the video showing me how to drain it I'm about to drain mine now.
Don't worry about the distance to the electrical. Receptacle. You actually want it close as a disconnecting means in case something were to ever get caught in the pump.
E02 happened to me when I accidentally turned the heat on without water in the tub. To clear the code, I left the tub unplugged for 20 seconds. If it continues after the restart, you probably have an issue, and you're going to need to contact the manufacturer.
Change your filter. Take a shower before you get into the tub. If you are going to use a bathing suite, make sure it has been washed without laundry detergent or rinse it before getting into the tub. Have your water tested at a local hot tub store. They can make other recommendations.
Does yours have trouble staying inflated? We had a different brand before and never had this problem. This one is going very low every 3-4 days?? Possibly a hole or something?
We drained our hot tub but sounds like there is water in between the outer shell how do we drain that water. Sounds like there’s about a half gallon thank you
We’ve only had ours for about a month and we’re thinking of maybe having one of those little float things with a stuff inside instead of using the chemical connector what do you use?
I use SpaGuard Chlorinating Concentrate and PH Down. But as always, I recommend going to your local spa store and have them test your water. It should be free. They can make the proper recommendations for the water in your area.
The top part of my hot tub keeps going flat we sprayed soapy water on it to try and find any pin holes and nothing happened. Could it be some thing else? Thanks Ann
It’s going to start doing it more when the temperature outside decreases. Just like tire pressure in a car in cold weather. Shouldn’t be much of a problem unless you have to add air to it a lot. Every once in a while I have to add air to mine. Also be sure not to over inflate it. Could cause a seam to burst.
@@bigtim208 Thank you! And thanks for all of your videos! I’ve watched them all! They have all been helpful in setting up and enjoying our hot tub! Appreciated from WA!
Hello. Can you leave this running all winter in the northeast. I live in New Jersey its getting down to the 20 s lately. I'm going to drain and store for the winter. So sad to see it get drained. Does anyone keep it up all winter? How much does it cost to run? What temp do you keep it at? Just got it a couple months ago. Thanks for any advive
Hi there, I did exact steps to drain and no water is coming out of the opposite end of the hose. Any suggestions?
Running into this issue right now. Any chance you figured out why it wasn’t draining? Kinda stumped here.
@@angoelina6459 get out and do it the old fashioned way. Scoop it out
How long does it take?
cute cat
Thanks
Hi. I did exactly what you did but the water is not draining. Thoughts ?
Did you pull the plug in the bottom of the spa says drain plug 😅
Thanks for the video. I was looking for the adapter from drain to hose,,,, didn’t realize the water hose connected directly to the drain.
How long does it take until the water starts coming out of the hose mines taking a bit
Did it drain yet?
For some strange reason, my hot tub takes like 3 days to drain…why!??

i keep mine indoor only put chlorine in it 2 months still clear water
About to drain ours - Will the water kill the grass if it has the Bromine chemical in it?
I don't know. I drain mine in the rocks.
That piece that you screwed into that tube sticking out of The hot tub… That piece did not come in my kit. What is that?
I'm not sure what piece you are talking about. Was it the filter housing? It is under the power box if you are opening it new.
What's the very top inlet/outlet inside the tub for?
How noisy is this hot tub? I live in a house with neighbours upstairs, so don’t want to disturb them…
If you use the bubbles, it is going to sound like a vaccume to them. If not, all they would hear is water moving when you get in or out.
Big tim u did it basic and simple
Thanks for the help! Very easy & useful
Hi there
I did this same thing but my tub is not draining? Not sure why.
Same here
I’m stumped
Sigh that’s why I’m here too
Mine not either
Yes mine isn’t draining either

Click the reset, then hold the power button for 30 seconds. That should do it.
@@jr.carlosnava9165 but it don’t stay on long enough to hold he button on . What will I do then ?
Thank you...
Thanks Buddy, you are the man
Thank you for the comment!
What do you use to clean your hot tub vinyl before you put new water?
I have a Saluspa and I just use a mr clean eraser. We also have a wet vac you can get on Amazon for debris.
What size filter cartridge does this take … I just got the Hollywood spa and no where in the directions does it say …thank you
IV
We have a Hollywood and use the V1 from Amazon
I'm fixing to have to drain mine and store it up for the winter. What size attachment do you need for the hose to drain the water?
Why putting it up for the winter
That's the best time to set in a hot tub
Can you post a link to the filters you buy? I need some new ones. Thanks🙂

What do you use to clean your tub before putting new water to the tub?
Good video!
Thank you for the comment.
While tub is draining I check filter n replace or clean if necessary. Defeats the purpose of having fresh clean water n a dirty filter!! LOL
Mine is leaking from under the pump. Any ideas what it could be? I've read about bad gaskets and stuff however this thing is only 4 days old. Thank you for the video showing me how to drain it I'm about to drain mine now.

How do you drain the water completely out of the pump??
Thanks!
You're welcome.
Do you get mold under your hot tub when water gets under it?
Why does not infant 2:full capacity
I’m in day 3 of trying to drain mine and it still hasn’t emptied!!
What is the little bugs and you had floating in the hot tub
I’ve gotten an E02 where it doesn’t work anymore. I’ve changed the filter and cleaned it. Any other so suggestions?
E02 happened to me when I accidentally turned the heat on without water in the tub. To clear the code, I left the tub unplugged for 20 seconds. If it continues after the restart, you probably have an issue, and you're going to need to contact the manufacturer.
How did ya get it so clear
Where did you get this for that price?
We have had ours around 4 weeks and keeps getting cloudy. What do you suggest?
Change your filter. Take a shower before you get into the tub. If you are going to use a bathing suite, make sure it has been washed without laundry detergent or rinse it before getting into the tub. Have your water tested at a local hot tub store. They can make other recommendations.
Hi my tub has just stopped drainning half way through still way above the plug part any ideas why?
Not sure
In your video the poor cat is waiting patiently at the door, did that cat ever get inside ?
Lol. Yes, the cat has made it inside. 🙌
We’re in New England and we’re wondering if you keep yours out and running in the winter time.
Yes, I keep it going in the winter. One of the best times to use it.
Does yours have trouble staying inflated? We had a different brand before and never had this problem. This one is going very low every 3-4 days?? Possibly a hole or something?
No issue here. Sounds like you have a hole for sure.
We drained our hot tub but sounds like there is water in between the outer shell how do we drain that water. Sounds like there’s about a half gallon thank you
Yeah, I don't know how to help with that.

Good deal
Do I leave the filter attached when the spa has finally emptied
I take mine off.
The top part of my hot tub keeps going flat we sprayed soapy water on it to try and find any pin holes and nothing happened. Could it be some thing else? Thanks Ann

Also be sure not to over inflate it. Could cause a seam to burst.
Deflate ?
What does the bottom of the tub feel like when you are sitting on it, is it comfortable?
It is comfortable. It has a cushion built into the floor of the tub.
What part do you use to hook the hose up to the spa to drain it and where can you get it.
The same part you would hook up yo a spigot. No special adapter is needed.
Thx man
What do you use instead of the chemical connector because it’s kind of a pain thanks
I did a video on what I use. Check it out!
How long approximately does it take to drain?
I did not time it but I would guess about as long as it took to fill up. 45 minutes to an hour.
Do I need to keep the hot tube pluged up whie it drains???
I didn't.
Why ddidn't you show the hose connection? How did you do it?
I don't understand your question? That is covered in this video.
If the water is acidic, will it kill the lawn?
I drain mine in my rocks.
Did the floor of your hot tub start forming a air bubble in it?
It did but it has gone away.
Thanks for the advice, very helpful. How do you drain the water in the pad on the bottom of the tub? Thanks
How do I get chemicals right hot tub. What do I need to buy and how much do I use to keep hot tub clean thanks

We just got one. We waited for the price to drop. Got blessed! Got it for $298 yesterday. They still had 4 left. Let's go Brandon!!!
Congratulations! I hope you enjoy it.
Where did you buy it for 298?
I was wondering the same thing on where you bought it from
@@jasonwhistle Walmart had a Black Friday sale for 298. That's where I got mine.
