    Thanks for the great instructions, our hot tub is arriving tmrw, so excited. We bought the Intex 28449EP PureSpa Plus Greystone Inflatable Square Hot Tub - We are putting it on a cement slab, should we put down a foam floor mat for the tube to sit on?

    I purchased this and set it up in an hour on yesterday. If the valves aren't perfectly aligned and hand tightened you will get a leak and see the E90.The first time I hand tightened the valves one was crooked. Unscrewed it and screwed it back in correctly. Then I unplugged it and it reset it. I sanitized mine for 3H. Then last night at 11pm put on the heat. This morning at 6am it's already up to 82 degrees! I know if people who go in it can't be dirty or have any lotions or products on their skin, so make sure everyone even the women take off all make up as well has rinsing product out of hair. Take a shower already before anyone enters as well as clean swimsuits. I put in 5.5 pounds of the Pool Salt and it is perfect. My pool supply guy told me to add the salt every 3-6 months.I plan on emptying and cleaning mine every few months because I have OCD. LOL! The PH balance with let you know....read the manual about the PH balance levels and how it should read with the little stick it provides. All you do is put it in the water and it will tell you exactly if it's low medium or too high. I'm very happy with mine so far and hoping the heat will be ready later today. I did put a tarp under the bubble tarp for ensurance because it's on my deck. I think I'm going to deflate it a tiny bit when I put the cover on so it will fit easier. These are super easy solutions.

    Ik heb de Pure Spa van Intex met zoutelektrolyse al 2 jaar. Het product is perfect op 1 onderdeel na: de elektrolytische cel gaat slechts 1 jaar mee. Daarna komt storing E91. Defect aan de cel. 1x heeft Intex hem kostenloos toegezonden. Nu na 2 jaar is deze cel ook defect. Nu moet ik hem met verzendkosten, totaal circa Euro 100 zelf betalen. Een mooie Jacuzzi maar houd rekening met redelijke kosten na de garantietermijn. Het is nu 26 november 2023. Met de nieuwe cel die incl. verzendkosten 96 Euro kost draait de jacuzzi weer 3 dagen. Het gaat goed zonder storingen. Ik meld me hier weer als de cel defect gaat. Voor eigenaren: de 4-persoons draait op 2 kg zout. De 6-persoons jacuzzi heeft 2,5 kilo zout nodig.

    Good review BUT, there is an elephant in this room on ALL inflatable Hot Tubs,....., COOL WEATHER USE. The air from the bubbles for these units is the air directly from the outside environment. I live in South Carolina so I got months of use from my two units but both had the same issue ($600-$700 units!) from online seller. So, if you have the water at the desirable 104F, and your air temps are under 80-85, I found that your heater will struggle and fail to keep that water at 104F, 60F and below, you will want a sweater on! LOL!!!! "Regular" Hot Tubs HEAT the air to keep the water a consistent 104F in "any" Temperature in the winters, and this is what NONE of the companies ever tell the customer, you will not have that "hot tub" experience in weather where your daily temps will stay 60F or lower. So, keep that in mind IF you want a winter WATERLAND in areas of chilly to COLD Falls, Winters, and Springs. You will have cold air shooting into your hot water cooling the water and your electrical bill will not be as little in the cold months as it is in the hot ones. They are basically a summer pool but with a heater and bubble blaster (which is nothing but a tube ring with holes), there are no "jets" but honestly, both my inflatables were crazy great in the message department- that ring of holes REALLY does feel great, but not when the water is 65F in 40F weather! LOL!!!!.

With that said, I wouldn’t keep it directly outside in winter months as what you said will likely happen. So far, no issues with cold weather when kept in a semi insulated environment.

    Good morning from Las Vegas. Excellent review on this hot tub. We had an Intex round hot tub for 7 years it got a hole I found it patched it then I had another hole which I could not find it lasted seven years but we decided to sell it for cheap and get this awesome six people 170 jet. But I have a problem maybe you can help me… Are older Index was a breeze to fill up with air anytime. This one I see that you have to take off the big bubble tube to plug in the hose to fill it up. is there an easier way to do this…

    The sound is just a little louder than some traditional hot tubs but it's not obnoxious. If used consistently, you should sanitize the water at least five hours and on days you're not using the tub, you should sanitize for three hours. The water circulates during the filtration process.

    Great review of this hot tub. I watched it before I purchased it to see what I was getting into. You covered everything in detail. I’m having a problem with the cover that goes over the tub. The foam inside has balled up in the center. From what I’ve read it must have got wet inside. Everything I read says to take out the foam and dry it. That would mean cutting the cover. I’m going to see if INTEX will cover it under the warranty. Any other suggestions?

You shouldn't have to change out the water for a couple months and everything should be stable. If the water gets murky and doesn't clear up with the sanitizer being on for a while, you will need to drain the tub. We hope this answered your questions!

    Hi there, this sounds like an odd situation. We did have the button make noise when pressed. To test if your sanitizer is actually working, you should be able to test the water about once a week minimum with included test strips to see if your water is staying sanitized. Also, if the water looks murky and continues to stay murky, that could be a good indication that the sanitization is not working. However, some of the different styles of Intex PureSpa Plus hot tubs do not have a sanitizer button on the panel and should be turning on while the tub is on. You should be able to test the water with the same process. We hope your sanitization is working and the button is just acting up!

    Do all the Intex hot tubs use the same filter/heater/pump unit? I note that some reviews on Amazon hate that unit (leaky and error prone) , some love it, not sure if it's the same unit.

    No, they do not use the same units on every hot tub although many do share similar if not the same ones. PureSpa, SimpleSpa, etc. primarily use the same units in the product line.

    If it’s a new hot tub, my first suggestion to contact the manufacturer, if there’s something wrong with the pieces and parts, it’s their responsibility to take care of it, assuming it’s within the warranty period. Make sure that you change the filter, the filters clean, and everything is screwed on correctly. If none of that works, last case scenario check out this video : kzread.info/dash/bejne/m6iM1dSCl9TemrA.htmlsi=gMI2XQk5YUiolI8S
