I have the hololulu and mine can be heated the same time as the bubbles and I’m sure yours can to so check again, also mine has a timer on it so no need to worry about what time to turn it on
This was a 2016 model tub which didn't have the ability to do both at the same time. They changed that with later models. My new Havana can do both. As for the timer, I no longer worry about it as I just leave it on but turned down a bit and it works great.
Very nice thanks for sharing I am a new hot tub owner I got an intex inflatable hot tub pure spa plus I have read on other people's channels they say not to put it in direct sunlight it can rack it is it true I haven't opened mine up yet thank you have a beautiful day God bless you always
The truth is that it can depend greatly on the climate in which you live. If you live in a rainy temperate climate it's probably not going to make such a difference. If on the other hand you live in the likes of the American Southwest with intense Summer Temps and Direct Sun exposure then I would DEFINITELY NOT leave it in direct sunlight as it would be brutal to the vinyl inflatable material and seals.
I just ordered one, you did a great video. Now I am confident that I have made a good investment. Wanted to ask, what chemicals should I have on hand to take care of this hard time. I don’t want to buy too much or too little, I want to buy only what I need to treat this. What do you recommend?
Honestly, I only bought granulated bromine. Not a fan of the floater dispenser that comes with the tub that dispenses tablets as IMHO it doesn't treat the water as needed, it's always treating it. This is exactly what I use in my tub and I put in a standard plastic spoonful after every use: www.amazon.com/dp/B003V5UB5K/?coliid=I2Z9ANHFNJ6RO9&colid=35HJU17VPKIEA&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it I recommend getting these filters right off the bat as well, as it is best to change the filters after every use. They can be rinsed and reused, just spray them down with a garden hose and let dry . www.amazon.com/dp/B0799R6SNL/?coliid=I19TDEVECD0P45&colid=35HJU17VPKIEA&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it The last component that is really crucial to this is completely draining and refilling the tub every 4-6 weeks as it's the only way these tubs get a complete removal of build up of dead skin, oils, chemicals, etc. If you follow the aforementioned advice you should be fine.
Oh and for the granulated bromine, it works best to run the bubbles right after dropping the bromine in the water and it will churn up and dissolve it really well for you. Simply run a bubble cycle for it's full 30 minutes with the top off and then when it's done put the cover back on.
BidCrushr honestly I owned a Coleman for over 4 years never any problems cheapest way and most effective for me, without the long task of refilling it is go to Walmart buy a bag of shock. You will only need barely any shock( A whole bag will last me 4 months) you only need a 1/2 tablespoon to shock it, shock it once a week or more depending on how many times you used it that week. Buy some bromine tablets, also cheap, and softer on the filters. I fill the floater they give to you with about 1 a week, 2 on hotter weeks. Also lasts me about 4 months. Hot tub was always Chrystal clear, was cloudy once and shock a little scrubbing did the trick. Make sure to run the bubbles for 5 minutes when you shock it, to let it all circulate. Cheers. Rinse your filters about once a week and they will last.
Have you experienced just after inflating in a couple hours it starts to deflate? We have not filled it up with water yet but are wondering about this deflation issue there is no hole that we see or feel the guy we bought it from did not experience this issue it’s just us.
Shouldn't deflate much in a couple of hours but should be a little soft for heat expansion and contraction. Also will be more rigid with the water weight in it.
By the folks are you talking about the inside liner of the tub? If so then I would say it is not and you probably have a small hole that needs to be patched.
It's not designed for salt water. A few have added saltwater systems to their inflatables but it's expensive and you would still need to supplement Bromine, Chlorine, etc.
Jester's Aquatics I have saltwater system for the pool, I’m thinking get som water already clean from it, chlorine I would add later, it’s just water is still a little salty, won’t it damage anything?
From standard low 60s tapwater temp it takes between 20 and 24 hours to warm up to max temp. It goes faster if you fill at least partially from a heated source.
Really good review. Thank you. We just purchased one and will be setting it up next week.
Thanks.
Chris Griffin is that you?
Ty wry helpful information!
Not a problem

@@jesterscorner879 thank you so much I appreciate your help have a beautiful day God bless you always
Our heater and bubbles work at the same time even says so on booklet
That was part of the changes they made to the 2018 and later models. Mine was a 2016 model so it was true for mine. My new Havana does both as well.
Oh I see cheers
Not a problem.
Very helpfull hit on a few little ideas only a previous owner would know
Thanks

Great Video Review!

Is it normal tiny bubbles coming out at the end of the folds next to one of the filter.
By the folks are you talking about the inside liner of the tub? If so then I would say it is not and you probably have a small hole that needs to be patched.
can the salt water be used in this hot tub? I’m thinking about using the regular pool’s water.
It's not designed for salt water. A few have added saltwater systems to their inflatables but it's expensive and you would still need to supplement Bromine, Chlorine, etc.
Jester's Aquatics I have saltwater system for the pool, I’m thinking get som water already clean from it, chlorine I would add later, it’s just water is still a little salty, won’t it damage anything?
Shouldn't given the low level of salinity. You might need to descale the pump more often due to build up. There are vids on how to descale on here.
How long does it take for the water to get hot, 103?
From standard low 60s tapwater temp it takes between 20 and 24 hours to warm up to max temp. It goes faster if you fill at least partially from a heated source.
Can you adjust the bubble jet intensity?
No not on these. The new Airjet Plus tubs coming out do have a 2 speed variable intensity though.
