You are my go to for all things Lazy-Spa! Better than any crappy instruction book they give you. Well done!

[@AbouttheHouse0]

Thank you Melanie. 👍

I thought I was being thick, but hey! Thanks for the reassurance!

[@roberthancock4408]

Brilliant. Well demonstrated and explained. Thanks for making this video, it has saved me a lot of time and trouble. Where would we be in this modern world without people like you and KZbin ?😊.

[@mattbatty69]

The deflation adaptor shown in this video is for the top of the lazy spa. You will find another deflation adaptor in the box (similar looking to the inflation adaptor, but slightly shorter and is hollow inside). for deflating the actual hot tub.

Hi, thank you for the videos, they have been a god send over the last 24 hours of me setting up my St Moritz!! I just wondered if there was any idea of when you’ll be releasing the video about the best/most economical way to keep the tub running? I have put mine in the conservatory so it can be used all year without getting cold outside in winter! Huge thanks again for all your wisdom and help 🤩x

BRILLIANT - this just answered the question about the 'contraption' I found with my new spa and wasn't sure what it was for!! This is fabulous - thank you!! OK, now I just want to know - does your pool stay full inflated for months on end???

Other than for making this video, i pumped ours up when we got it in April 2020 and haven't let it down since. No leaks.

@@AbouttheHouse0 thank you! The one I had previously was a gift from friends, who said the bubbles didn't work - I have now realised they themselves self-inflate the pool - I never missed the bubbles till I had them - now I just can't get enough of my new spa!! Best purchase EVER! Thank you for your incredibly helpful videos!! I have learned so much this time round 🙂

[@abigailfowler1655]

Hi there! Thanks for all the great videos, very helpful indeed! We have a lay z spa Paris and the instructions are rubbish so your videos have helped a lot! Please could you make a video on the best way to save electricity whilst running the spa? Do you leave your spa on constantly? If not do you leave just the filter on? We only use our spa on weekends really so I have been switching it off through the week then heating it back up but I am not sure if this is costing more than leaving it on! Many thanks for any help on this!😁

[@AbouttheHouse0]

Turning it off for a week and heating it up for weekends is innefficient. I would suggest setting the heat during the week at 5 or 6C below your use temp. Use the timer on a Friday night to bring it back up to usage temp. It's also important to run the filter pump at least a few hours each day for the chlorine to do it's work. If you have an old bed quilt (or don't mind buying a cheap 13 tog), put it between the inflatable lid support and the main cover to cut the heat loss during the week (it really does work). That will cut the power use while it's not being used during the working week.

[@greentaichi]

Thank you 🙏 So useful 🙂 Have a good weekend

I keep getting an error 02 message when trying to deflate . What am I doing wrong g please

[@AbouttheHouse0]

Is the water pump inlet blocked?

[@bambina0000]

How about a video on using the pump bubble setting and hose to blow out any water remaining in the pump unit?

[@AbouttheHouse0]

The airjets are a simple on/off feature (some models do have 2 speeds tho), so not sure how interesting that might be as a video. I might do something about cleaning out the pump unit. I'll think about that

Hi please could you help with getting trapped water out of the liner at all? I can hear water inside when the empty tub is moved. Many thanks.

Tip it on it's side with the valve at the bottom and open the valve. It should be possible to get all but a bit out.

I am getting an E02 error when I am trying to deflate the tub. It will only work for 20 seconds or so before it stops. Do you have any advice on what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

[@Shanks301]

Same here

[@AbouttheHouse0]

E02 while deflating? That's mad because E02 is a water flow problem. Try slapping the side of the unit with your palm in case the flow sensor has become dislodged. OR did you find another solution (it's been a while, sorry)

[@peterbishop1043]

I had the same problem....and yes a good old fashioned slap on the side as used on anything that plays up .. television....radio ....🖐️

[@Xoraliation]

Iam getting the E02 error while doing this, the water pumps are not connected to the pool anymore - what causes this?

How do you intend to run your hot tub with the soaring price of energy? Especially after yesterday's announcement about the energy cap.

[@cherylrowland6933]

Followed instructions for my Bali hot tub but still seem to have water in the tub somewhere sounds like it's in the walls? Any ideas?

[@AbouttheHouse0]

It could be seeping into the structure somewhere, ours does but only a very tiny bit. You'll never find it though, so don't worry about it. just empty it out of the valve port whenever you refresh the water.

[@ssssss55555555555555]

Hello bro Hello brother, can you help me? I bought one, the Cancun version. I inflated it but I felt that I needed to inflate it a little and it is deflating. Could it be that it is not normal for it to deflate? Should I go under the warranty or what?

Hi there. I seem to have water / condensation between the liner of my Lazyspa Hawaii. Will the hose remove any water as it deflates it? Thanks !

I can’t seem to get the black deflate connector to fit seems loose and no air coming out apart from initial release… what am I doing wrong?

[@mariozammit7065]

You cannot remove the middle shader valve or I couldn’t and the only valve that fits is the inflated valve. I just removed the rubber check valve out of the inflated valve with needle nose plyers and bobs your uncle. Good video otherwise thank you! I wonder if your version differs slightly from others?

[@christophermartineau9700]

How do you inflate the bottom of hot tub . Mine has a crease . Thanks 😅

[@AbouttheHouse0]

The base (bottom) does not inflate. It's just thick material. Hence the need to insulate under the tub kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGWYnnZud6ypeK8

Hi thanks 👋👍

[@workwithCandy]

I need to get me rubber gaskets. They don’t have the right size at the hardware store. What do I do?

No, you'll need to get that out seperately.

[@AbouttheHouse0]

Are you sure you are using the correct adapter? You could be accidentally using the inflation adapter instead of the deflation adapter. The deflation adapter has two cutouts around the end you push into the valve. If all else fails, simply unscrew the whole valve and let it down naturally.

[@BEAGLEBOSS]

Thanks I had the same problem. Needed the other adapter

Make sure the water flow function is turned OFF and that you're not accidentally activating it instead of the airjet pump
