I am a big fan of Spa Tubs, I like them for their therapeutic values and the fact that they can be used year round. But much like pools they can be very expensive to purchase and install, and if you are a renter, it's not even an option for the most part. Here is where the Coleman Lay-Z-Spa comes in, pricewise it is very affordable at $499, and because it is portable, there is no need to involve the expense of an electrician and a plumber. In fact the portability and ease of set up is what makes this such a great deal. The Coleman Lay-Z-Spa lets you enjoy the pleasure of a Spa Tub nearly anywhere. It seats four to six people, but I would recommend keeping it to four adults maximum. The Lay-Z-Spa itself holds 254 gallons of water and weighs 2700 Lbs. full, so if you are going to use it indoors make sure your floor is capable of supporting the weight and keep in mind that at some point it may need to be drained. Setup is quick and easy with the included pump, just plug the pump into regular 110 volt house current and let it inflate, add water and instant Spa Tub. When inflating the Lay Z Spa, you will notice quite a lot of air escaping from where the inflation hose attaches to the pump. This is normal, as this is the same air pump that powers the jets in the Spa. The inflation hose is designed this way to prevent over inflation and damage to the spa. Well instant may be pushing it, but the entire process from un-boxing to ready takes about an hour. Of course the water takes a bit longer to heat up, but in just a few hours you can enjoy your own Spa. An insulated pad for the bottom of the spa to prevent damage and a locking cover is included for both safety and to keep the water warm while saving on power. A soft touch digital control for the pump is included as well as a chemical floater, and filters. The bottom line is if you are looking for a portable Spa Tub, or a Spa Tub on a budget, you can't go wrong with the Coleman Lay-Z-Spa. Follow the directions and setup is quick and easy, in a few hours the water is hot and you are ready to kick back and enjoy a Spa at a bargain price.
Wow! Seriously, wow. This spa is a high quality product. It took about 20 minutes getting it ready to fill. It took a total of 30 minutes to fill, and we have terrible water pressure. Within 20 minutes of turning on the heating unit it was notably warmer. The controls are easy to use and the pump set up is clearly labeled and ready to hook-up. The only thing I had trouble with at all was spreading the pool out after removing it from the box but that is because the material is heavy duty. It didn’t matter anyway, once I connected the pump and started filling the body with air. It filled no problem in minutes. I am still impressed with the fortitude of this material. I decided to set the tub up on my patio slab. There is a pillar behind the tub and when I wasn’t paying attention the tub pushed into a small thin wire that protrudes through the stucco. This would have been a big problem in a lesser tub. The very sharp piece of metal mesh did not penetrate at all. I am over 200 lbs and can sit on the walls no problem. I am also in love with the connections to the pump/heater. There wasn’t a single drop of water leaked and hasn’t been since. I sincerely wish that Coleman made an above ground pool. With this simple, effective design you really can’t go wrong. I didn’t need a single tool or to rig anything to make it work right. I’m impressed. There is a drainage tube off the pump side of the tub. Make sure that before you fill it with water it is near wherever you’d like to drain. I don’t know the weight with water or people but you do need two people to move the box if it’s full. Once you unpack it though the pieces are manageable. Now, I live in Arizona so the coolest it gets here at night is about 35F. If you live in a cooler climate consider putting this indoors. It took about 9 hours for this to warm from 86 degrees to 104 degrees. Not bad if you ask me. However, if it were colder it would be more work and take considerably longer. Make sure to put the bubble pad underneath to insulate from the ground. The maker suggests changing the water weekly or more depending on use. They also recommend changing the filter cartridges weekly depending on use. You need to do this and they aren’t free. Consider the overall cost if you want to use this regularly. The filters cost between $10 and $14 dollars apiece from what I can find. Countering any possible negative you can find here is the simple fact that this tub comes with you wherever you go. Indoor, outdoor, rental or property owner this thing IS going to meet the need. Also you can comfortably sit 4 200 lb. adults in here.
So far so good I am about 215 pounds I could literally sit on the side structure built solid Right now I have on my patio feels amazing outside can’t wait for winter to bring it to the basement Took only five hours to reach max temperature not bad truly do love it so far Must buy
Fits 4 people 2 comfortably unless you want to be on top of one another. Works great took 14 hours to heat. Got to 104 stayed warm for about 30 minutes (dropped 5degrees after a half hour which wasn't bad felt good ! Overall very happy with my hot tub
You only need to buy one thing for this Spa. Some chlorine or bromine tablets (small ones not 3 inch). I have a built in pool so I used a 3 inch chlorine tablet and put it in a ziplock bag and hit it with a hammer. It gave me small enough pieces to place in the floating chlorinator. Ok first off this was really easy to set up. You place the black/grayish pad down first. It looks like bubble wrap, but it's much sturdier. You place it bubble side up. Next you unfold the hot tub and the cover. Then plug in the control system and hook the hose that comes with it up to the "A" on the control system and the "A" on the hot tub. This blows it up. There is a meter that comes with the spa to gauge the air, but ours did not work. It also states in the instructions not to just rely on the meter. You can tell by feeling the spa when it's full. Next you want to inflate the cover. It is easiest to take the inflatable part of the cover out and then blow it up and then put the green cover back over the inflated top part. After you inflate the spa and top you connect the control center to the spa. It's 2 items that are very clearly marked "B" and "C". You then place on the white filters. After this step you fill it with water. There is a "MIN" and "MAX" line clearly marked on the inside of the spa. Now you're ready to heat the water! You need to place the top on the spa and secure it with the clips around the sides. Then you press the button on the control panel that looks like a sun. If you push it and it doesn't light up that just means your system is "hibernating". All you do is hold your finger on the Power button for 3 seconds then it will make a beep noise to tell you it is ready. Push the sun button and it will start to heat up. You will also notice that the filter light and button is red. This is normal. It is supposed to filter while it heats up. I preferred the temperature to display in Farenheight and not Celcius so you just press the "C/F" button on the control panel to display your preference. NOTE: It will take about 14 hours at least to heat up. It rose about 2 degrees an hour and this was in 60 degree weather. You should plan maybe an hour for the set up and to let it heat until the next day for use. You can check the control panel to see what the temperature is. When you're ready to get in you just take off the top and hit the "bubbles" button on the control panel. This will start the jets! Place your chlorine or bromine tablets in the floating blue and white chlorinator and relax in your spa! It was very relaxing, very warm, and the bubbles are powerful. It felt like a back massage when you lean against the sides. It's very easy to get in and out of. I'm only 5 foot and I had no trouble getting in or out. To maintain your spa you will need to change out filters as well as replenish the chlorine or bromine. Overall, this is a great family spa with little maintenance. I can't wait to use it when it gets much colder outside. My daughter absolutely loved it as well.
Easy setup for the most part EXCEPT the directions are mostly pictures that are unclear. Please do yourself a favor and YouTube the instructional video it will save you tons of frustration! Be prepared to wait as it does take about 3 days to warm up to the highest temp of 104 degrees. ALSO, comes with a screw in dispenser for spa chemicals BUT does NOT come with any sanitizer tablets or spas chemicals so make sure to buy them as they are separate. Once it gets hot enough and you fire up the jets, it feels amazing!!!
I love this product!! I set it up myself and it was so easy to do. It is made from very strong materials, I was concerned that it may be too easy to get a hole in it, but its much thicker than the inflatable pools are. Everything you need is included (the two filters needed are already inside the Filter Set), except for the chemicals needed to keep it clean. You'll need to buy some bromine or chlorine slow disolving tablets for the chemical floater thats included. Here are some things I learned as I set mine up that you may want to know: *The massage system (it makes the bubbles) is what you use to inflate the spa and the piece in the cover. Attach the hose before turning on to inflate or the air going through the hose will make a high pitch whistle that can be painful to your ears. *The pump is pretty much silent, except when you're using it to inflate the spa and cover piece, but even then it's not unbearably loud. *The spa and cover piece inflate quickly. *The leatheroid cover itself does not inflate, theres a round piece inside of it (not attached) that does. Once inflated, it fits inside the underside of the cover. *There's a pressure gauge included that you use when inflating the spa, so you need to know now how to read one. The instructions will tell you what the gauge needs to reach. *When inflating the cover piece, don't use the pressure gauge, theres a piece attached to the hose (hanging from it), attach to the end of the hose because it fits in the air valve of the cover piece. *You do not have to cover the pump if it rains (it is waterproof). *The Lay-Z-Spa should not be set up or left out in temperatures lower than 4°c (40°f). This spa is for indoor and outdoor use. *If the buttons on the pump are not responding be sure that it isn't locked. It locks automatically after 5 minutes. To unlock, hold your finger over the lock/unlock button for 3 seconds to unlock (or to lock if you want it to lock again sooner than the 5 minutes). *It took about an hour and 15 minutes for spa to fill with water. *It can take up to 24 hours for the spa to heat first up to the temperature you set it on. *The pump turns off on it's own after 72 hours (the pump will say End on the screen) to turn it on again unlock buttons and touch any button to restart it. It may need to be heated up more. *The spa will heat up as it needs to to maintain the chosen temperature. When you take everything out of the box and start reading through the instructions, don't feel overwhelmed, it's so much easier to set up than it looks. There's really nothing complicated at all about setting it up or even taking it down to store it. There is a refrigerator magnet included that has the toll free phone number for customer service. I called them one time (to ask if I had to cover the pump when it rains), and I can tell you they are very friendly and helpful. The water heats up great, the massage system feels amazing, and you can pack it up and take it anywhere. I am 100% happy with this product!
Spa was relatively easy to set up although the directions could be improved. There is a DVD setup disk included and looking at the pictures on the box assists with assembly. The spa heated to desired temperature within a day. Attaching the respective connections was also easy to complete.Everything is included except the 1" chlorine tablets which can be bought locally at a pool store or online. Spa is well constructed and feels very durable. The spa is very relaxing and great to use on cool evenings. The controls take a little getting used to but are pretty intuitive once you get the hang of the control panel. If you are looking for a relaxing and comfortable way to unwind, I would recommend you purchasing one of these spas.
The Coleman Lay-Z-Spa is truly a great buy for the price. From the packaging of the product (I was expecting a huge, bulky box) to the easy set-up, this is a product definitely worth its price tag! The product directions let you know that it only warms up approximately two degrees every hour, and that is definitely accurate. Do not expect to be sitting in it the first day or you will be disappointed. However, once we got the temperature to 100-degrees or higher, we’ve been sitting in the spa on a daily basis. The unit is incredibly simple to maintain. We already have a swimming pool and are familiar with chemicals, so that has not been a challenge for us either. In fact, we had been contemplating adding a larger hot tub unit to our deck area but weren’t ready to make the financial commitment the more permanent models have. I love the fact that this unit can be moved and stored quickly and easily. The jets are pretty powerful considering how small the spa is. It obviously can’t compare to an $8000 spa with multiple jets, but I find the bubbles to be just right when soaking in the unit. The spa is marketed as a 4-person unit, but I think it truly only fits two adults comfortably. While you could fit four adults in the unit, it really is most comfortable with two. Overall, I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a spa experience for a fraction of the cost. There really is no need to spend thousands of dollars, unless you’re looking for something that is different aesthetically or simply need a larger unit to accommodate more people.
At first, I had my doubts that an inflatable structure could function well as a spa. However, the Coleman Lay-Z Spa exceeded my expectations in almost every way. It truly doesn’t take any tools and is ready to fill in minutes! Unlike a traditional spa, this one can be stored away during winter and moved easily if you change residence. Pros • The instructions come in written and video form, and for the most part are useful. (It took me a minute to realize that the buttons are toggles and to deactivate you must press again, this little bit of information was buried in the section on the pump instead of noted in the set up. And it also doesn't mention the ground liner in the written instructions.) • It includes a chemical floater, which is a nice inclusion, but I would have been really happy if it came with a starter chlorine tablet. • The pump functions as the inflator (in this capacity, it is quite noisy, unlike when it is attached to the spa). • The pump also has a built in GFCI, which is a nice feature. • There’s a pressure gauge included to make sure it’s inflated to the proper pressure. • I like the inflatable part of the cover because it floats on the water and is very neat in appearance as well as acts like an insulator while heating. • The inflated spa is a simple cylindrical shape inside and out, and the interior diameter is approximately 60 inches. I have to say that even empty of water, the sides of the spa are very rigid and even my husband could sit on them. There’s no sagging or collapsing. • There are two filters that go on the inside of the spa. They are about the size of a small cantaloupe, and house a filter that you can clean by hosing them off or replacing. • Attaching the pump to the spa, I needed the help of my husband as I wasn’t able to get the fittings tight by hand. But the fittings haven’t leaked or anything. • While heating and filtering, the pump is so quiet!! • While making the Lay-Z Massage bubbles, the noise from the pump is very reasonable – the noise of the water is louder. • There is a soft ring, made from the same material as the spa, around the inside of the spa at the bottom which is where the air is pumped to create the Lay-Z Massage bubbles. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of turbulence it created – there was much more than I anticipated. (Watch the video to see the bubbles in action.) Cons • Keep in mind, when choosing a location for your spa, that it will need a flat surface that can support the weight and an electrical outlet. • During the unboxing, I did need the help of my husband because the deflated spa was heavy for me. • The pump is quite loud while pumping air to inflate. (But don’t worry, when pumping the water or bubbles it isn’t loud at all.) • Because I received my spa in the fall, the weather was chilly. So the concrete was cold and the water from the hose was cold. With these conditions, the heater took several hours to raise the water temperature a few degrees. I let the heater run over night and when I woke up it was at 104. So unfortunately, I don’t have a good idea of how long the heating takes during warmer weather. But once it’s heated, it maintains the temperature well.
