Typically, a 6-seater hot tub from a dealer could cost you well over $15,000. With the Intex 85in, you get to relax in a high-quality intex purespa spa for a fraction of the price. As with all Intex models, you get a customizable control pad to enter your preferred settings.
Skimming the net I came across a post that said you had to drain the tub, deflate it a bit, and then tighten the valve from the inside. Now for those of you with this product, you will quickly find that it is practically impossible to tighten a valve inside the casing due to how thick and slippery it is. Quickly turning it further left immediately fixed the problem.
Therefore, if you have a family of four, and you have some concern about whether you’ll all fit in the tub together, it’s better to go with a 6-seater instead. Families will do well with the 28in model or the 28409E. The longest heating time of the three models in this review. When browsing the Intex website, it’s easy to get distracted by the number of inflatable products on offer from the company. Intex does every kind of functional, lifestyle inflatable you can imagine.
The Intex PureSpa™ Bubble Massage Spa provides relaxation at the touch of a button. The easy-to-use control panel activate the high performance bubble jets surrounding the interior of the spa for a refreshing massage. The heating system adjusts to fit your personal temperature preference allowing a stress-free spa experience. The built-in hard water treatment system makes water gentler on skin for a soothing experience.
For a tub with a similar focus on comfort, read our Intex PureSpa Portable Bubble Jet Spa review. You should plan on the cost of upgrading it when you are looking to purchase. It generally heats about two degrees every hour and a half. Well-placed jets pounding on specific muscles can have the same effect as getting a massage from a licensed therapist to relieve back pain, arthritis, and other issues. Hot tubs help to soothe sore joints and achy muscles. The water’s buoyancy takes the pressure off the joints, allowing them to relax.
I had the tub set up in less than an hour, another 2-hours to fill with water. This tub is very comfortable and the bubbles as good as any other tub that I have been in. I highly recommend this tub to anyone that is not sure if they really want to live the hot tub lifestyle.
Cover – The cover is inflatable and insulated to keep in the heat. It comes with heavy-duty belts and buckles for safety. There’s an inflatable bladder that’s inserted into the cover.
For your convenience, shop in stores, online or download the Leslie’s Pool Care App. Inflatable hot tubs sometimes have issues with pump failures. It might be worth it to invest in the warranty for that part alone. Since you’ll need to plug your hot tub in to inflate it, check the length of the cord and make sure you will have somewhere to plug it in. You’ll at least want to inflate it in the vicinity of where you’ll be using it, especially since squeezing it through doorways likely won’t be an option.
