Hot Tub Maintenance For Beginners Lay-Z-Spa™

[@JonCoupland]

This is by far the best hot tub video I've seen so far. And I've been looking at a lot

[@mgtracey]

Thank-you

[@jaimehernandez8535]

I agree, just got a hot tub and this is the best video i've seen so far

[@markscott9695]

Great video, we just got a hot tub and are unsure of the best way to maintain it. Thank you for taking time to make this video, really has helped me and I'm sure many others.

[@mgtracey]

Thanks for watching , enjoy your new tub !

[@milothechihuahuabrunetandmommy]

Thank you for your information I am a new hot tub owner so this helps me out alot I haven't set it up yet Because it's winter here in Ontario Canada once spring comes I will for sure happy new year wishing you health and happiness God bless you always

[@mgtracey]

Thanks for watching , have fun in the sun !

[@vladmadrilejos1657]

Easy i love how he explains it no rush chill vibe. I just wondered if its the same as maintaining a above ground pool. Its teally the same

[@NB-lk7yd]

Appreciate this video. Everything was explained so clearly. 🙏🏾

[@luisclaw]

Finally I found a video for beginners! Thank you for sharing

[@mgtracey]

Thank you for watching

[@toon_oioi]

Very informative thank you so much for taking time to do this for us. ❤

[@mgtracey]

You are so welcome!

[@HarryGreen-n4p]

really easy to follow video regarding the chemicals. Mine is a little cloudy and PH low so will add the plus and see how I get on. Should I shock treat it weekly or just add the tablets as I have been doing. thanks for the great video

[@mgtracey]

If you rinse out the filter thoroughly each day and top up the chemicals, you shouldn’t need to shock it, and it should clear if the water stays murky. Then it probably is time to change the water and blitz in a little bit with chlorine.

[@functionalfrank]

Thanks; this was solid and to the point.

[@RoweyYT]

Just bought a lay z spa Paris, set it up today brilliant video!

[@mgtracey]

Great news enjoy !

[@lisalee-lee235]

Excellent, very helpful video. Thanks much!! 🤓👍

[@iammarkymarc]

Do we need to give any attention to the pump unit itself? Does it need any sort of maintenance or cleaning of the inside? Flushing etc etc. Great video by the way!

[@mgtracey]

Nope. Just make sure all water emptied out at end of season . Should last about 5 years . Paul

[@timcollard2403]

Thanks for this, cleaned filters and ph levels are good. Chlorine a little high as I have the floating space ship as we call it. I’ve taken that out to let the chlorine evaporate

[@judywhelan-morgan8678]

Well made and works well.

[@gmanhi5]

Can you add more air to the spa while it’s full of water? Brilliant video by the way.

[@mgtracey]

You can you’d have to use a separate electric pump to blow it up because the main pump is connected to the bubbles

[@gmanhi5]

@@mgtracey that’s fine. thanks for the fast reply

[@georgeburchett5798]

@@gmanhi5 yes you can add air or more inflation without draining. You should just plug both the filter and inlet holes from inside the tub, with the parts/plugs that came with the hot tub. Then you can disconnect the pump and attach the air hose just like when you first inflated it. Also if you search utube there is videos on this procedure.

[@phil5662]

I’ve just got a starter kit and I have chlorine granules not tablets is that ok to use the same way in the video? Thanks. Very helpful video 👍

[@mgtracey]

No the tablet are slow release. Granuals can be used for first set up of daily amending of the water balance. The automatic system needs tablets.

[@muniex83]

Hi thank you for this video.do I need to put chlorine everyday when not in use ??or just check if levels all rights on them strips??don't use hit tube so often but don't want to change water every 3days

[@mgtracey]

Either the skimmer if you have one of the cap of the water in feed has slow release chlorine tables in which last about a week . If pool used a lot you may need to add extra chlorine- Paul

[@michiel3g]

Hey! Great video. I think you convinced me to buy one. I was wondering which one do you have? Is that the lazy spa Milan airjet plus? Im still not sure if i should buy the Palma Springs or the Milan. I can get both for the same price. I know the Milan has the wifi function, but i don't think ill use that. Other than that are there any other differences? What do you suggest? Thanks for helping ☺️

[@mgtracey]

This one has 55% off on Amazon and looks fine to me : amzn.to/3uKhOUW

[@itsmeHiBeth]

Thank you. Very helpful

[@mgtracey]

Glad it was helpful!

[@gerrycassidy5412]

Many thanks

[@nicheca20]

thanks for the nice video!!! my question, i already put the chlorine tabs and added algaecide and clarifier and bioside, but how long does it take to make the water clear? or do i need other product to make it look like yours

[@nicheca20]

and anoother question is,... do you put the cover all the time after putting the chlorine and the other chemicals? or should i leave it uncover? for example if i have to leave home 3 days, should i leave it covered or uncovered? (off course leaving it on without the bubbles)

[@mgtracey]

It should go clear almost immediately. If not change of clean the filter. If The filter is really dirty clean and reuse if the filter is clean and the water is still murky then you need to empty and completely refill the hot tub.

[@leylasaymar2982]

How do i get clear water mine is cloudy i have added chlorine what else do i need to keep it clean

[@mgtracey]

You need to multi dip for test and see if you need. Add +. Or -. If these are ok then run filter 24 hours a day with filter being cleaned every 12 hours . Other than that it’s an empty and refill job to keep you safe . Paul

[@leylasaymar2982]

Thank you so much

[@martinpriday9015]

Can you tell me it the base of the hot tub is suppose to inflate as well, lazy spa havana. Thanks in advance

[@mgtracey]

No only the sides and lid. The more you can put underneath the tub before inflating the better it feeks when you sit in it - Paul

[@jamesvardy3530]

very helpful thanks

[@mgtracey]

You're welcome!

[@gerrycassidy5412]

New owner of a spa - chemical levels all correct, but when getting in its slippery - any advice?

[@mgtracey]

If the bootom or the sides of your hot tub feel slippery and slimy to the touch. Algae is in the hot tub, perhpas at some point the pH levels in the water were imbalanced or when not enough sanitization chemicals, such as bromine or chlorine, have been added. Try a blitz of extra chlorine granuals, don't use for a day. Levae lid off for an hour before getting in. If still slippery unfornately you need to empty and refill im afraid. Paul

[@karlmottram8810]

Hi MG. Have you ever used Clearwater Tranquil Spa Dead Sea Salts? And if so how did they react with the hot tub? Do they make it more difficult to keep clean?

[@mgtracey]

I am planning to do some new videos covering this. Hosepipe ban has rather got in the way !

[@mashco232]

Great vid thanks you leave the filter running all the time ?

[@mgtracey]

The filter needs to run all the time even if not heating.

[@mashco232]

Thanks appreciated 👍🏻

[@jadefritz3035]

Can you tell us why you are on your 3rd tub in 5yrs? What went wrong with the previous 2 spas? Do these spas fail insome way after only a couple of years?

[@mgtracey]

I am I wanted one connected by Wi-Fi so I can control via my phone .

[@stephroseblade4336]

Hi, my water has got slight cloudiness, I’ve changed the filter, shocked the spa and added a small amount of ph plus. Is there anything else I can do to get it totally clear again? I also have a clean scum sponge in the pool. I have the Mauritius tub

[@mgtracey]

Nope I think time to empty and start again. Make sure filter throughly washed out every day when refilled . Paul

[@jonathanjones4453]

Can you leave the heat running with the cover on?

[@mgtracey]

Yes that’s fine

[@kellygibbons6920]

Can you tell me if I need to leave a certain amount of time between adding separate chemicals please

[@mgtracey]

No it’s getting the amount right that’s important.

[@kellygibbons6920]

Thank you

[@jacobwheeler802]

Anyone know where to find replacement chlorine nipple? The part the housing screws on too? Can’t find it anywhere

[@1thedazzler]

Can I leave my filter on constantly without heating it up? (Same filter pump as the one shown)

[@mgtracey]

Yes you should leave the system running with the filtering on even if you’re not heating but you will still need to adjust the chlorine tablets and the other chemical levels every couple of days

[@1thedazzler]

@@mgtracey so i run the pump 24/7 or just for a set period per day? unsure what the costs are for running it 24/7.. any advise here would be great, thanks

[@timcollard2403]

Do you leave the filter on all the time ?

[@mgtracey]

You need to let the pump run with the filter attached but you don’t need the heater on which is where the main power usage is if you’re not gonna be getting in for a day or so but you do need to clean the filter every couple of days and check the chlorine levels

[@stargatefever]

Big thing dontnlet the dirty filter dry out. Like if you get distracted or need to deal with kids but you where about to clean it. If it dries you may as well trash it

[@mokka41999]

one excellent video!

[@mgtracey]

Thanks 🙏

[@leebell1895]

We have the Vegas 2021 model and only had it a week but we’ve got a bulge on the spa floor/base. It’s like a huge dome. It’s brand new and set up first time. Anybody else had this? How do you get rid of it?

[@mgtracey]

I don’t think you’ve done anything wrong. It needs to go back to where you bought it under warranty.

[@leylasaymar2982]

I have the same issue its like a tennis ball underneath close to the filter mine is the lay z spa

[@TheColombiano89]

Nice video !

[@mgtracey]

Thanx

[@charlesming7875]

Does it get hot enough? We like 43C. Can’t relax in ‘hot’, we need ‘hottttttt’

[@mgtracey]

40 is the max 😞

[@Cruiseblackpool]

Out of interest how often do you use the hot tub? I’ve noticed I used it for 2 days and filling and heating first time I’ve calculated it I was to use it every other day and keep heating steady it’s around £5 per day. I think it’s safe to say my bills are easily going to be an extra £100 a month is this how much you pay extra? It’s a nightmare with the stupid energy companies ripping us off but I love using my hot tub.

[@mgtracey]

If not used regular let temp drop to 25 them set to 40 four hours before you use this will reduce costs . I think we may all need solar panels soon !

[@Cruiseblackpool]

@@mgtracey thanks and yes I was looking into this as an option. Have you seen solar panels on Amazon that could power just a hot tub? A total house powered by solar would be amazing and a great sod you to the governments total blundering of the energy crisis and allowing billions of pounds in profit by energy companies doing nothing about it. OFGEM are equally as corrupt and useless. Any solar setups you been looking at let us know thank you.

[@andycoffer]

I got a solar set up. the spa will not work with it, i think it's the GFI plug. So I got a bucket water heater, that can run in the solar battery bank. It's hard finding info of what to do or not do with solar out there, good luck!

[@zarakhan7820]

I don't have a cover on my filter?

[@mgtracey]

Here is the link to buy one from Amazon : amzn.to/3Wk5S9w

[@mariasantana-ph7ku]

The engine has to be on all the time?

[@mgtracey]

The pump has to run all the time, but not the heater.

[@donnaathersmith1930]

I have been doing all things as advised but water is really murkey. Any advise plz.

[@mgtracey]

No option but to start again I'm afraid. Empty sterilize with extra clorine and a new filter. Make sure no insects like slugs can fall into the water overnight as well, that causes problems

[@paulwheeler4551]

Great video

[@mgtracey]

Thanks for the visit

[@jimmywilliams1621]

Had mine on constant mines the new model and my electric bill was shocking

[@mgtracey]

You can control from either Alexa or an app on your phone. Let the temp drop to 28 cent, and turn up to your required tempeture four hours before you use. Don't leave on max temp all the time as that is expansive. - Paul

[@dpdp006]

Thank u

[@mgtracey]

Welcome

[@cazzlewis9886]

Do you leave the hot tub turned on all the time ?

[@mgtracey]

Yes the pump needs to run all the time to keep filtering and adding chlorine. The heating can be off though . Paul

[@train4905]

Awsome 😊

[@mgtracey]

Thanks 🤗

[@paulrowland6600]

How about the wifi application. I'm not being successful

[@mgtracey]

It needs a very strong signal. I guess thats the issue

[@jakeshroff77]

3 in 5 yrs......can't be looking after them
