Stay very vigilant on keeping that water treated. My granddaughter developed a very bad skin infection that was antibiotic resistant from getting into that same hot tub from Amazon. I don’t think her paternal grandparents were maintaining it like they should and I’m sure you guys will. Just thought I’d mention. These smaller ones can be harder to maintain water than larger ones because bacteria can grow so rapidly in that amount of water. Not trying to be downer or negative. I take hot baths before bed to help my aching joints and thinking about getting one of these too. Enjoy 😊

@@imsharonl2 yea we got our granddaughter back and she was covered in bumps that looked a lot like chicken pox so we were thinking maybe that’s what it was and by morning they were worse so took her to the doc and tested negative then found out it was a antibiotic resistant bacterial infection. I called the other grandparents and found out they were broken out with it too and she was in there with them so She is no longer allowed in their hot tub. Just gross.

Bill your so considerate to each other
So Smart and considerate for Bill to put that handle bar there for Elizabeth. 💜 Do more hot tub videos. Would love to hear any reports of how it’s helping you. I’m thinking about getting one.

Agree! My husband and I were thinking of getting a portable one for back issues...would love to hear any updates as you go. Congrats on your new tub!
Bill is a fast worker and Elizabeth is a great helper. I am so happy for both of you having this to relax in. 💗💙🙏🙏
Nice Tub. I always like to put a small tarp under it to help protect it from chaffing on the bottom. Doubt you have rocks on your deck but gives it a little more protection. Enjoy.
As a full time You Tube video watching, recliner sitting, know everything, (because clearly I am an expert 😄) who only watches video's.....I am sitting here shouting...surely there is a YT video about setting this thing up! LOL!!! I am so happy for Elizabeth because I know the relief her body will feel. I am also a renovation specialist because I watch Bill's renovations. Ahhh...if only I felt like getting up from this recliner. 🤣

Enjoyed your comment so much. Very cute.
I have those safety bars in both my bathrooms. My son put them in for me since I have bad lungs and fibromyalgia. I highly recommend them for Bill to put in for your safety. It makes a world of difference- bless you both.

Yes, we already have grab bars in all bathrooms.
That looks wonderful! I can just imagine the nice hot water and how good it must feel to your joints and muscles. ☺️ Here in Japan, we have deep tubs in our bathroom that we fill almost to the top and then we put bath salts in. We can soak in it after our shower and it feels great. But I think having it outside where you can breathe in the fresh air while you’re in the tub and also the bubbles massaging your body must feel great, too. What a good idea for the two of you! I hope you enjoy it every day and keep nice and warm!❤

I love salts in my whirlpool bath. I am very sensitive to fragrance so only use the real No. Scented Dead Sea salts I order from Israeli Products. Salts can also keep down bacteria and add much magnesium to your bones. Also other beneficial minerals get into your pores.
Have fun relaxing while you soak your pain away! Bill did a nice job reinforcing the porch and adding the grab bar. You make a great team!
The handicap grab bar on Elizabeth’s side is genius. I’ve been thinking about getting one but hubby is a double below knee amputee. Trying to work through how we would get him in and out. Where there is a will there is a way
Amazing..now Ms. Elizabeth can relax and the hot tub will help her body when she needs it. Bill amazing Job... 😊
Nice to see the hand hold for Elizabeth. It's great to see her enjoying this hot tub.
‘Are there any instructions??’ Elizabeth, like every other woman trying to set something up. 😂 My hubby too likes to get right in there and bypass instruction and just get er done. 😁 Oh you’re gonna love having it especially as these couple cold fronts from the north are sweeping through here in Florida! 🥶 Glad you were able to get it set up and enjoy it!

Sitting in them while it's snowing is the BEst, but don't think that will be happening there. Maybe rain? Get some candles for your night time soaks🥰. Valentine's is coming up to whoever reads this first!
My husband and I put a small shed together this fall that was "supposed" to take two people 2-3 hours to do. Because of the directions, it took us two days. Sometimes there are video's that give more info or at least pictures so you can try and figure out the hows and wheres!
I have COPD Emphysema and use a hot tub & I feel good. I stay in mine 30 minutes. After about 2 weeks of using mine I really noticed how my joints feel so much better and flexible. I do Range of Motion exercise.

I'm glad you can do that. My late husband had pulmonary disease caused by Agent Orange - we went out got a hot tub put on a 16X 32 ft addition - and the moisture was brutal on his lungs - we sold it within 6 months - - I wish you all the best with COPD - so many more meds now that seemed to work much better than what was available back in the 90's

You should ask your doctor. My doctor said "NO, NO!!!"
One idea ya can also do for safety if you already haven't. Is on out side of the hot tub that you are going to be stepping in/out of lay down a few non slip Mats . Then maybe lay tarp down underneath the hot tub next time setup to help give little protection to the wood.

Whoever mentioned the probability of bacteria or fungus being a natural hazard of hot tubs is right. I know you two are smart and always put safety first. The filter is SO IMPORTANT!! We had one and always used a device that gave all the parameters of the water quality. Many times had to add more chemicals and watching the pH levels is also very important. I am happy for you two. Being straddled with degenerative arthritis in my spine and having had one back surgery ; I am doing my best not to have a much more serious surgery. I don’t have a hot tub now but I hope to have one soon. Now I am controlling the pain with injections. I can have them every three months and I am always counting down the days beforeI can have another round. Many blessings to you both. ❤️❤️❤️PS. Do you have test strips?
Bill and Elizabeth, that hot tub is so cool! Thanks for sharing! 👍
Since the water is good clean water, you could drain it slowly to enter a soaker hose for your plants.
This video was easier to watch than Part 1 was , having to watch you go under the house. I have claustrophobia and the further you went in, the harder it was for me to breathe. Awesome finished deal!! Hope you guys enjoy it and that it helps with health issues!! God bless!
I had to laugh when Bill was first starting to put this together. Sounded so much like me and my hubby!! I always was asking the questions while instructions were still somewhere else😂 His answers same as Bills. Fantastic job!!❤❤
Hubby and I have been thinking about a hot tub to use at our home base in a sunroom we've built. This would be perfect! We have to worry about the winters when we aren't there and things freezing, so being able to take this down and store it closer to the electric heaters would work really well. So glad Elizabeth is benefiting from this addition! Yay!
So happy for you both. This winter you are living your best life. Keep enjoying!
What a super easy and inexpensive hot tub! I'm so happy for you! I always love seeing your cozy, comfortable home! Blessings!
Im so happy for ya'll! Enjoy the comfort in that tub and relieve those aching joints and muscles! ❤
Oh my. How cool that is! I hope both of you can relax and enjoy it often! Thanks for sharing! 😅
You guys are so fun to watch. The hot tub looks great and looks like it will work really good for you. Thank you for sharing!
So nice! Happy for you both. God Bless!
Elizabeth I am so happy to see how well you are moving around. 😊
That is so nice I'm happy you both can finally enjoy the hottub
A buddy of mine removed one of those bath units the elderly use with the closing door. He built an insulated box frame elec and plumbing and put it in his screened in porch. Good for one person and pretty much free. He's a brilliant tinkerer.
I’m so happy for you both. Enjoy🎉
So happy for u both to be able to relax daily in your new hot tub. Hope u have a wonderful trip.😊
Go ahead you 2 happy for you.Have fun on the trip!
So nice to see you enjoying your new hot tub. Use it in great health.
It made me smile to see your laundry hanging 😀, I enjoy hanging out our laundry as well!! ❤
You're such a lovely couple❤ I live in Oklahoma now, but I grew up in Pennsylvania. You two remind me of the wonderful people I grew up around all those years ago up there. 😊 I hope you enjoy the hot tub!🎉
Awesome!!! Glad you are enjoying it😊
That’s so great the hot tub is working out so well!
Awww, you two deserve some relaxation~ :)
So happy for you both! Relaxing, and so many health benefits
I’m so happy for you!
Love the added bar to hold on too
my thought was, 'why a hot tub?" why not just use bath tub? but I had the "AHH" moment. I did not realize it was so therapeutic for the bones. Again , you two started my day with a smile. a Warm, Therapeutic Smile.

Very happy for you guys, now get the relaxation you need after a hard day's work, ❤❤
Wow, how super is that so glad for you both!
Nice, therapeutic is great for the bones
I like the way the cover latches on. I put up a pool in the summer for my grandkids, but sometimes the cover is plastered against the fence. I have to use chlorine. I put a tablet in a floater and take it out a couple of hours before the kids get in it, so some of it evaporates.
Looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing how you set it up!
Looks very comforting. Enjoy!
I love watching your videos. You both are so down to earth, keep it up.😊

I agree with your thoughts on helping your joints. Every since I was in a serious car accident, we bought a hot tub, and get in it almost every night before going to bed. It helps me with hip, back and leg pain.........relaxes your joints for sure.
What a great idea installing that grab bar for safety!❤
Awesome! Good to know! I have arthritis in my feet, shoulders and hands so I know getting in one would help me. I’ve been hesitant about these kind but since y’all have given this demonstration and review, I like the idea. Hugs, and love y’all! From Texas!
What a great set up!
Did you put a “Kill-a-Watt” to monitor the power consumption? Does it work out of a 15A outlet? Looks nice and even nicer seeing you tow enjoying it! God Bless!
❤good for you 2. Enjoy your life. Enjoy your family. Be blessed. 😊
That looks so relaxing!
Looks great!!!
We have talked about one of these for a number of years but wondered how difficult it is to set up. Thank you for showing us. Might be a very good combined birthday and Father’s Day present….shhhhhhhhhh
What a great idea on the grab bar Bill!
Awesome!!! So happy for you both, enjoy it in good health! God bless 🙏👍🥰
That is so cool! Enjoy!

That looks so relaxing! Please do an update to let us know how it works out long term. ❤
Very cool, will look into this. Thanks.
So enjoyed this video
Wonderful!! Enjoy!!
Ahh! Refreshing and relaxing I love hot tubs!😊
Elizabeth is the 'coolest' person I've come across, even for hot tubs! 😎 🆒
Looks delightful
Totally Awesome!😊
So happy for you both looks relaxing and if you wanted a little more privacy you can look out for those screens people divide the rooms with or hand sheets on your clothes line and make a. Extra board to hang a pretty sheet on the other side as well .

Thank you for showing this spa. I never knew there was such a thing as an inflatable hot tub.
Bill you need to put another filter on the outflow to. It is up by the one seat. We also put one on the bottom of the floating chemical holder. We had trouble keeping it clean first till we fiqured out we need to at least run two filters. You are right the instructions are not good. Did yours come with the floating container to hold the chemicals. We use bromide tablets in the container.
That looks so yummy! ❤
Wonderful and brilliant ! You get to have a hot tub with the less expensive price. I love to sit and lay in warm water, and swim if I'm in a warm water pool.
So glad you have the hot tub. It will certainly help you Elizabeth.
Love you both!🥰
So worth the investment ❤!!!
Very glad that you don’t have to worry about chemicals on your skin❤

If the shock is dry crystals, to save it from sitting on top of the plastic, you could pull out a clean pail of the water, disolve the crystals and pour it into the middle to disperse it without it sitting against the plastic.
Awesome !!!!!
❤❤❤🕊️ I've often wondered about these thank you
Simple things ARE the best!
Enjoy!! ❤️❤️
I can't go into a Hot Tub due to my Blood Pressure, but it looks like fun ! A cheaper way to enjoy yourself and not break the bank !
Watching from below zero MN! I am enjoying your time in your new hot tub..I had a hot tub years ago, stationery, but the mice chewed up the electronics..I miss it! Enjoy and God Bless you!

I’ve heard that’s a common problem with outdoor fiberglass hot tubs. Mice or rats will make nest underneath them because of the warmth. You’d never even know while you’re soaking what’s living underneath you 😅
Enjoy your blessings 😊
I'm diabetic and I turn my hot tub temperature down to 98 and at that I can stay in for a long time without feeling like I need to get out. For the filters I recommend Power Soak Filter Cleaner at every water change, especially since you aren't using continuous sanitizer.
HELLO YOU 2 !! HOW COOL IS THAT😮. YOU BOTH LOOK COMFORTABLE..ENJOY!!💞👍🥰
Bill, I wonder if a bucket heater would help heat the water faster. You would have to be careful not to burn the plastic. Maybe immersing the heater in a bucket with large holes, I'm thinking.

I’m thinking about working on the plumbing. I would run a pipe to a spigot from the hot water heater. That way I could fill it with hot water instead of cold water.
