This spring we decided to treat ourself to something for our home as we knew we would not be traveling as much during these times of COVID-19. As soon as I posted our gift to ourselves on my Instagram I was flooded with DM’s.
We have been looking at inflatable hot tubs for a while, but were not sure if they were worth the cost. We were not ready to purchase a hard sided one. After some research we decided to purchase one. It took us about a month before we found one. They are as popular as toilet paper. After watching yard sale sites, online and in-store ads we finally found one at a store calling Runnings in Southwestern New Hampshire. My husband had called ahead and I had to get there quickly as it was the last one.
We got the Coleman SaluSpa 4 person. It pretty easy to set up, I was able to set most of it up myself and I am not the best at putting things together. I did buy an outdoor rug to put it on. We hope soon to build a small deck for it.
Almost ready to put water in it.
The hot tub it rated for 4 people, but we find with two adults and one child it is just enough room. We have had the hot tub almost two months and are in love with it. We use it almost daily.
We paid about $450 for it and notice that the price has gone up . There are jets all along the bottom providing a massaging feeling. The temperature goes up to 104, but depending on the temperature outside, it can decrease rather quickly. After about a 30-45 minutes it goes down to 95 degrees which does not feel warm enough. The warmer it is out the slower the temperature declines. Once the outside temperature reaches reaches 40 degrees you have to take it down and bring it inside as the filter cannot withstand temps below 40 degrees.
The filters are easy to clean, we did by extra ones off Amazon. Since we already have a pool we are use to managing chemicals and find it pretty easy to manage and keep clean. I have been told by others that the sun can do some damage to the cover so we have recently bought a gazebo to put over it. I have not quite figured out the electric cost of it yet, but I am guessing it is between $50-$70 a month.
Overall we are very happy with the purchase we use it almost daily and feel it was well worth the money.
