Unlike the printed directions, this is clear and simple!

[@migmadmarine]

The printed directions were done by the unpaid intern

[@Raven_Wings8]

You got directions?!

[@cybercab]

@@Raven_Wings8 lol. Yes. It said stuff like Set it up and Plug it in. Good stuff like that.

[@cybercab]

BTW, what I eventually learned was that the air pressure to inflate is very low so it required some manual unfolding to encourage the hydrolic pressure to kick in and do the rest. After that, I've been really happy with the unit. You need chlorine which was cheap tablets which last a week. Filter needs to be changed every two weeks here but I have a lot of pollen and trees.

[@Raven_Wings8]

@@cybercab thank you so much! We have lots of pollen here too. If the cover stays on does it still get a lot of pollen? (PS: I was finally able to set up my tub after watching this video because I didn’t get directions ANYWHERE. Mine is the Saluspa. At least Coleman is nice enough to give instructions)

[@us4damons]

Thank you so much for the simplicity. The directions were all over the place. I just appreciate you

What are the best energy saving settings in between uses

[@emeraldfox7175]

Listen up,for all you people saying it takes forever to heat up,the solution to that, is to pour 5 gallons of hot water in for a boost,it went up 6 degrees instantly for me.

[@aimcrazy5843]

Thank you for the tutorial

[@FamilyDIY]

You are welcome

[@rickzamojski4646]

Great video. Do you keep your filter and heater running 24/7? I appreciate any feedback.

[@FamilyDIY]

I just run a filter 24/7. I only turn on the heater when I plan on using it.

[@rickzamojski4646]

Thank you. I appreciate you answering so fast. Last question what temp are you keeping it at when your not using it?

[@tikijojo]

So once I reach my ideal temperature and the heat button turns green, do I shut it off?

[@reillysimons8518]

@@FamilyDIYQuestion about the control panel - is it weatherproof? Can it stay in the upright position if it's raining?

[@CharlieCB-2023]

Mine seems to remain on the red heating light even when it reaches temp. It’s not then going green. Am I doing something wrong?

[@fred2khshred]

Mine isn't heating at all. At 24 hours not one degree. I'm not getting an error code either. Everything seems to be working fine (used and loved it all last year, this is initial set up for this year), but it's not heating AT ALL. Since you're WAY more helpful than the company, do you have any advice?

[@hdsn447]

Any answer?

[@becksanta2510]

Mine is doing the same thing. I have turned it so many times and NOTHING. At this point it’s going to be an ice rink and I’ll need to throw it away and I never got to use it even once. Such a waste.

[@Matdog2010]

Powerful!

[@z3phyrdok]

😂😂😂😂 EVENTUALLY! HAHAHA IT TAKES A DAY TO HEAT UP! HAHAHA

[@FamilyDIY]

A day, more like 2 or 3

[@richardjones2006]

Thanks so much for laying my fears to rest I have gone up 4 C in about 3 hours so at least I know this is planet normal.

I was like it's 90! it's 90.. it's still 90... it's still 90?

[@nickperonace7700]

I had to come here because the directions were in gibrish. But how long does it take to heat up?

[@FamilyDIY]

About 1 to 1.5 degrees per hour, depending on air temperature.

[@FamilyDIY]

The one in the video is my second one which I have had since December 2021. My first I think I had for about 4 years! When it finally leaked, I decided I had to have another one.

[@trayjosass]

I had a nice 7000 massage bed hot tub that broke ; being in a less secure financial position I purchased one of these ( neccessity for a medical condition) I waited a long time to buy thinking it would not work !!! I wish I never waited the jets are just as powerful ( just missing the fancy bed and accessories)

[@brandondalehixon4748]

Can the motor get wet in rain ??.thanks.

[@marilynolsen7732]

Can I trun the heater on before I put the filter in ? I forgot to do that before I filled it. Now it's too cold to stick my arm in. Help please❤

[@FamilyDIY]

Just keep the lid on so no derby falls it. You should be fine. Just put the filter on once it is warm enough.

[@blkqtpy]

Awesome it worked but my question is once it reaches the heat that I wanted to stay at if I turn the pump off the green light for the status telling me that it’s heated goes off as well. Can I turn both of those off or do I have to have those on for it to maintain the heat?

[@emeraldfox7175]

You can turn both off if you want luv,as long as the heat is still on,it'll maintain it for you

[@mojackb]

My grandma has one of these, and the thing dont turn on anymore. When you press the reset (red) button on the plug, it blinks and clicks, but then turns off and clicks again. What do you think is wrong with it?

[@lovelydaisy1228]

Do you hear yours with the cover on it? I'm a new user

[@FamilyDIY]

No I don't hear anything when it is running. Just when the bubbles are on.

[@Dayshita]

How long it takes to heat?, I am still waiting after 25min and nothing

[@FamilyDIY]

You can get about 1 to 1.5 degrees per hour. It is slow.

[@psjr57]

Hello and thank you for this. I have a question that I have not seen addressed before. Can I remove the large hose that is circulating the water and inflate the spa since it has lost a little air.

[@FamilyDIY]

As long as you seal off the areas water comes out. Yes

[@jjackson3240]

I use my shop vac exhaust. Works way faster. Just need to be sure you have proper adapters and I hold them by hand.

[@clare3584]

So if you keep the temp on lock thumbs means once the tub reaches 40 it won't loose that heat unless I unlock it right? Thanks in advance

[@emeraldfox7175]

Yes

[@Page1958]

So you can heat it with the top on? I've been trying to heat my bestway spa for 3 days now. I can leave it doing it overnight as I have to plug it in in the house and can't leave it through the door at night.

[@FamilyDIY]

Yes, absolutely leave the top on. You lose a lot of heat with the lid off. It typically takes 1 hour per 1.5 degrees increase. And once the heat is turned off, it will start losing heat.

[@st.odinson]

Only a couple hours?

[@TheDingodrip]

thx bro worked Rather than take off the side hose I sprayed the hose water from inside the spa into it and it worked for me taking all that stuff off would have been a lot of work

[@pillmill8987]

Been heating for 2 days. Went from 75 to 79°

[@FamilyDIY]

Did you leave the lid off? What is the outside air temp? Did you adjust what temp you wanted?

[@pillmill8987]

@@FamilyDIY cover on tight as possible, 90°+ outside and I've set the temp from 95 to 104. It's climbed 7° in 3 days

[@FamilyDIY]

That does not make sense. It should go up 1-2 degrees per hour. Maybe bad heater.

[@brennencarruth131]

How do you keep it hot? Just sitting in it after an hour with no air on it drops tp 100.

How long it takes to get to 104 F?

[@FamilyDIY]

We get about 1.5 degrees per hour from the moment we turn in on. It depends on outside air temperature as well.

[@snailnslug3]

24 hours from regular tap water temp to 104

[@Enfieldriderlongisland]

What about the timer?

[@carledward2009]

When going on vacation is it advisable to lower temp and keep water circulating???

Any easy hack to get this to 106?

Run a hose from your water heater. Get a solar heater. Get a tank less water heater and attach ot Also, 106 is dangerous.

I got one 2 days ago. The first use, 30 minutes and the temperature dropped from 104 to 97 degrees! It's going back to Walmart as soo as I get the water drained out! Wouldn't recommend, 0 stars!

[@FamilyDIY]

Where you using the bubbles when this happened? That will cause a major temperature drop as you are blowing outside temperature air into the water.

[@ColtraneAndRain]

@@FamilyDIY yes I was. The way I see it is I purchased it for the bubbles! Otherwise I can sit in a hot bath tub. 😐

[@Aeos7]

Well this is more like a hot bath machine then a purpose built hot tub. Real hotubs are $$$ and high power 220v. This needs to be kept at 104 and used till it cools off. It’s not going to get hot with you in it using bubbles

[@theDMINking]

Mine took 3 days to heat from 20 to 104

We bought a brand new Saluspa Helsinki and installed yesterday. I set the temperature to 88F and after installing the cover and waiting for an hour, the temperature went up to 80 then this afternoon I checked on it and the heater was off and the temperature was back down to 77. Not sure if we have a defective unit.

[@FamilyDIY]

Perhaps you had turned on the timer which would have set it to turn off. Did you also "lock" the screen, perhaps someone/thing hit the heater button turning it off

Dont need ro press yhe filter button first. Automatically turns on filter when u press heat. Dont have to lock it either. Locks automatically. No hot water coming out. Been 30 mins. Nothing.

Theu state it can yake up to two business days to get a call back. Website Faq sucks.
