Inflatable Hot Tub Input

[rockyraider]

Anyone have any experience with the inflatable hot tubs? I've seen them for years at Wal-Mart, etc.. but never paid them much attention since I figured they were junk. My curiousness got the best of me and I started watching some YouTube videos on these things. I was pretty surprised to see how well people said these things work.

I'm considering getting one to enjoy on the back patio during the cooler months. I feel like it would help with my 43yo post workout aches and pains and my HS baseball player could use it to stay loose during baseball season this year. Seems like Intex and Coleman are typically at the top of the list when reading online reviews. Anyway, I'm curious to hear the good/bad from members who have or do run these inflatable hot tubs.

A buddy had one and said the pumps were weak. He has a wife and a young girl both with long thick brown hair that he complained would easily clog those pumps and he’d have to take em apart and clean all the time. That’s all I got

Interesting, thanks.

I have one and love it. The "jets" consist of a ring around the bottom with small holes where the air goes through. Normal hot tubs the jets sometimes hit in the wrong places.
Minimum chemicals to keep the water clear, and if it's off in any way, just drain it and start over. Heater in the pump will heat the water in a day depending on outside temperature. Two filters on the inlets to the pump are cheap and easy to change.
I sit in mine all the time and watch TV. And not bad for $300 +/- on Amazon.

Sure it's not a "spa"?

Not mocking it or anything, just reminded me of a line out of Tin Cup.
