When it comes to buying an inflatable hot tub there are not to many things to consider, however there are usually a lot of questions people have, and we are here to help.

Things to consider before purchase

Size - How man people do you want to hold, and how much space do you have. If space isn 't an issue then you can get a hot tub that can hold anywhere from 2-4 up to 8 people. The bigger the hot tub the increase in price, and also water to fill, so do think how many people will be in it at any one time, it may just be you and your partner so one that hold 4 people would be ideal. However if kids or friends are going to be joining you then a larger size would be better.

Space - The great things with inflatable hot tubs is that you can use them indoors or out, whichever you choose you shall need some space to fit one. One of the smallest hot tubs on the market is the Lay-Z-Spa Sydney Inflatable Hot Tub Spa at 180cm wide. All you need is a space for this that is level and flat, this could be your patio, decking area, lawn, or perhaps inside in your conservatory. Where ever it is just make sure you know where it will be going and you have measured to ensure it fits.

If space isn 't an issue then remember with inflatable hot tubs they are easy to move, just drain it, deflate it, and then move it to wherever you desire, ideal if you start using it as the same time most days as you may wish to move it to catch the evening sun too perhaps.

Plug Socket - Inflatable hot tubs come with a plug on the end which plug straight into an plug socket like any other household appliance so there is no need for any special wiring, just ensure you have one free near a window or door, and also that it will reach as we don 't advise using an extension lead.

The Lay-Z-Spa hot tubs come with a 10m lead, which should be suitable for most people and locations.

Quick and Easy - All portable hot tubs are quick and easy to set up, they will come with simple to read instructions, and some have a useful DVD is help get you started. But it really is as simple as inflating, connecting up the pump, and filling it with water. There is no need for any special tools, expert installers or knowledge, it really is that simple.

You can have it all set up and have it filling with water in 10-15 minutes. Easy.

Inflating - We advise when it comes to inflating your hot tub, to not to over inflate it at the start. The reason for this is the water, heat and sunlight on the spa shall increase the pressure, so once it is all filled up and heated, you can then easily add or remove air if needed to make it comfortable to relax in. If you have a black hot tub then the sunlight will cause this to heat up so do bear this in mind too.

Heating - Once filled your hot tub can take between 12-24 hours to heat up, this will depend on the outside temperature, and also mainly how much water there is, the bigger the hot tub, the more water there is to heat.

Maintenance - All hot tubs come with a guide on how to keep your hot tub clean, there are filters that help keep the water clean which will need changing, there are also chemicals to prevent micro-organisms from infiltrating your water. Although there is a little to do to keep it running and clean, it is a lot less then is required with a traditional jacuzzi.

What if you get a puncture? - There is always the what if? The material of the inflatable hot tub is very strong, however there maybe a stray nail on the decking perhaps, all Lay-Z-Spas come with a repair kit for the just incase eventuality, so don 't worry!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much do inflatable spas cost to run?

    Running costs vary based on usage frequency, local climate, and electricity rates, but inflatable hot tubs prove surprisingly economical. The filtration system draws just 50W during operation, while heating (2,050W) and massage jets (800W) only consume power when actively used, allowing you to manage expenses through smart scheduling and proper insulation maintenance.

  • How long does an inflatable hot tub take to heat up?

    Expect your spa to heat at approximately 1-2°C per hour, meaning initial setup from cold water typically requires 24-48 hours to reach the maximum 40°C temperature. Once heated, the insulated cover and efficient heating system maintain temperature with minimal energy consumption between uses.

  • Can you use an inflatable spa in winter?

    Yes, winter spa sessions offer exceptional relaxation, and models equipped with Freeze Shield™ technology actively protect against cold-weather damage. This intelligent system automatically activates heating when temperatures approach freezing, preventing ice formation that could damage pumps and liners while ensuring year-round enjoyment.

  • What's the difference between Airjets and Hydrojets?

    Airjets create thousands of gentle bubbles for soothing, all-over relaxation, perfect for stress relief and mild muscle tension. Hydrojets deliver powerful, targeted water streams for deep tissue massage, ideal for athletic recovery or addressing specific problem areas requiring intensive therapy.

  • How long do inflatable spas last?

    With proper maintenance and care, quality inflatable spas featuring Tritech™ or DuraPlus™ construction typically provide 5-7 years of regular use, with many owners reporting even longer lifespans. Regular water treatment, proper storage during extended non-use periods, and prompt attention to minor issues significantly extend operational life.

  • What do I need to put under my inflatable hot tub?

    Place a ground mat, foam tiles, or heavy-duty tarp on your chosen level surface to provide additional protection and insulation. This barrier prevents moisture damage to decking, protects the spa base from abrasion, and can improve heating efficiency by reducing ground heat loss.

  • Do you need chemicals for an inflatable hot tub?

    Yes, maintaining proper water chemistry is essential for safe, hygienic spa use. Like traditional hot tubs, inflatable spas require regular sanitiser application, pH balancing, and periodic shock treatments to prevent bacterial growth and ensure crystal-clear, healthy water for every soak.

  • How many people can realistically fit in a 4-6 person spa?

    While marketed as 4-6 person capacity, these spas most comfortably accommodate 4 adults with ample room for relaxation. The higher number typically refers to maximum capacity with people seated upright, but for optimal comfort during extended soaking sessions, plan for the lower figure.

  • Do all inflatable hot tubs come with a cover?

    Quality inflatable spas always include an insulated, lockable cover as standard equipment. This essential component maintains water temperature between uses, prevents debris contamination, ensures child safety through secure locking mechanisms, and significantly reduces heating costs through improved thermal efficiency.
