We all covet a good time in the spa, in the pool, or in a jacuzzi whiling away the demands of the daily grind as we soak in some hot water. A relaxing soak in a hot tub is an enviable place to be any evening.
Unfortunately, these amenities come at a premium should you have them in your home. At your local spa, there may be what you need but may not necessarily be available to you at your convenience and full discretion.
Needless to say, the freedom to enjoy a warm soak with family or a spouse on the spur of the moment has got to be one of life’s many but simpler pleasures.

- In less than fifteen minutes your tub should be completely inflated and should feel firm but not hard. Test the air pressure for optimal fullness using test equipment provided and then restore the valve cover and tighten it to secure the hot tub.
- Inflate the tub cover in the same way as the hot tub by connecting the air hose to the insulation cover.
- This should take a minute or two. When the tub is not in use it must always be covered to prevent children and pets from drowning. The insulation cover has latches to secure it and a locking mechanism to further secure the latches. Keep the keys to these locks in a safe place.
- Finally, connect the main unit which contains the filtration, jet systems, and heating mechanisms to the hot tub via the corresponding connectors on both the tub and the main unit.
- Fix in the two filters ensuring they feel tight when you jostle them.
- Unpack the headrests and inflate them using the hose which should take less than a minute to fill up each one. Place your headrests at whichever spot suits you.
- Ensure the drain outlet is sealed both from the inside and outside.
- Fill up your tub with water. Do not exceed the maximum levels and neither should you put water below the minimum level indicated.
- On the control panel, press the heating button to start the water heating process and set your desired temperature. Once the temperature has been achieved the tub will alert you at which point you are welcome to turn on the jets and immerse yourself in a warm decadent water massage.
