Disadvantages of the Bestway SaluSpa Hawaii hot tub

— Customer from NY

2. Weak heater power when using the hot tub in the cold season

If you plan to use your spa in the cooler season, obtaining the desired temperature of the water will require more energy, and the heater will also need more time to warm the water. Considering that the instructions warn you not to use the spa at temperatures below 4°C (39,2 °F), our experts recommend moving the hot tub to a heated area for the winter. 

3. The need to buy extra seats for some

Whilst most customers agreed that the Bestway SaluSpa Hawaii Hot Tub was comfortable, some reported the need for seats that enabled customers of all heights to immerse at a comfortable level in the water. Therefore, buying a few hot tub seats will always come in handy, especially if you have guests and children. 

Reasons why we chose the Bestway SaluSpa Hawaii Hot Tub

In addition to identifying this SaluSpa Hawaii hot tub’s advantages and disadvantages, we also came across a few more key factors during our research that influenced our decision. 

The percentage of people mentioning the leakage of water or air in the Hawaii Hot Tub were significantly lower as compared to other hot tubs in the same price category. This factor made the SaluSpa Hawaii Hot Tub more reliable and of course, with proper care, it will last you longer.

The hot tub is also pretty quiet when functioning, particularly when only the heater and pump are turned on. This enables the customer to have an optimal relaxation experience. You can even soak and enjoy your favourite music at the same time!

Unlike similar models of its type, this model is equipped with an inflatable cover that improves thermal insulation. This means this inflatable hot tub will heat up much faster and will stay warm for a longer period of time. The presence of quick-detachable mounts on the cover allows it to hold its place and protect it from younger children. 

Our advice for user`s that use Bestway SaluSpa Hawaii hot tub: 

It is recommended that you cover your inflatable hot tub after each use.This will prevent the water from becoming cloudy due to the exposure from the  sun and air. It will also keep the water cleaner for a longer period of time. We also advise that you make use of the handy control panel that is located on the top of the pump. Using the controls, you can adjust the temperature and massage functions according to your liking. Having the control panel on the top of the pump and not at the edge of the tub-unlike many models makes it convenient and safer to use. 

While some customers were unhappy that the model automatically switches off after 72 hours of running, it is important to note how this feature will actually benefit the customer. The wear and tear of the inflatable hot tub will be much less due to its energy-saving feature. This will not only save money but also prevent future hassle and maintenance issues. 

We analyzed the ratings of the inflatable hot tubs on different platforms and calculated the average values. The Hawaii Hot Tub secured 4.5 stars out of 5 which is pretty impressive.

All what you need to know before installing an inflatable hot tub

Buyers should be aware that the presence of a power source and connection to the sewer is not essential for the installation of an inflatable hot tub. However, it is important that you install the inflatable hot tub in a place where the surface is smooth and flat so the weight of the hot tub is uniformly distributed. Also keep in mind that the floor will be cold, wet and slippery and therefore it is recommended to use a plank of treated wood or a terrace board of polymeric materialas a base and support. Once installed, remember to sanitize and clean the hot tub so that you can make the most of its performance (you can read tips on disinfection and the use of chemicals in our article).
