Morning, so we bought one of these and are super impressed. Well worth the initial outlay, time will tell regarding the water and electric bills.
I've a few questions if someone could advise me...
- we've used the bromine tablets in the provided dispenser and they have worked fine. The chlorine/bromine level is spot on as indicated on the test strips
- the strips also have pH and alkalinity tests
Both are pointing to the tub being a bit too acidic. Not majorly and nobody has had any issues but I'd like to get it to the levels it suggests.
Q... What is best to buy to make these levels more agreeable,?
Q... What is best to buy to get rid of existing hair/grass/bits when the tub is empty?
Q... What is best to buy to clean the filter?
Many thanks

Can anyone tell me cos I'm a bit confused - do you NEED to use the salt chlorinator system? I bought the Clearwater chemical starter kit, believing that it included everything I needed. Now I'm reading about putting kilograms of salt in it before I start. From what I'm reading, the salt chlorinator system turns the salt into chlorine, but I assumed that the chlorine granules were a short cut.
If anyone can explain in simple terms what I need to do I'd be most grateful.
Also, I am reading about multi-purpose tablets, where you just put them in the floater and that's it. Is there really such a simple shortcut that can do away with all the measuring etc?

Hi, I purchased the Clearwater starter kit and googled lay z spa blog chlorine they've published guides on dosing at setup and weekly.
I used old scales and weighed my dosing, a few goes at reducing ph as we're in a very hard water area.
I have friends who have the tablets so have ordered some as they have said once initial shock dose done they use floater and then check daily- using starter as a weekly shock.
I haven't heard of anyone using salt chlorination (isn't chlorine salt based?) friends do say they sometimes use the clarifier which I haven't got yet - the water change seems to be every month to two or maybe even three which seems to depend on use, frequency and cleanliness! Sorry but colleague says his kids heavily use and it's a monthly water change for him.
Of course the water will only be able to take so much chemicals (solubility) a few people half drain and top up but friends say they just drain the whole think for a clean and start again.
Biggest issue is the size of the cable - 7m is just generous enough and rcd plug means it isn't likely to fit in most small outdoor sockets so we're installing a proper box - handy for garden too

thanks for that hmmm worth a thought with solar. Is this solar kit something you use to heat the water in your house or just the spa? Just wondering if there is such a thing as a portable solar kit to use in this way?

Wow, just tried your tip! Excellent results! Thanks!
With some ClubCard Vouchjers and the free delivery trial, managed to get it for £250. Kids will be happy.
Anybody know where I might be able to get a cover to fit the spa. One that will cover the whole thing?

Studio are doing a aqua spa for £250 instead of £500 and it's amazing .... comes with a bag to store it in over the winter and a zip on cover to keep the spa upto temp!! Has 100 jets and a filter that u can rinse and reuse tend replace after 12 months.... brought the chemicals to keep it in tip top condition and we love it ... better quality than lazy spa too

I have the Lay-Z-Spa Saint Tropez Hot Tub (same as Vegas, but outside cover and pump are dark blue, instead of grey/beige). I had the Vegas before.
I put a plastic "mat" underneath the pool and have a 6 sided Gazebo (from Argos) over it. The Gazebo is good for keeping the sun and rain off the pool.
"Although the spa pumps are waterproof, if you are expecting very heavy rain we would recommend the pump unit is detached from the spa (use the stopper caps, to allow you to do this without losing the water) and bring inside."
Download Vegas Instruction Manual here: http://www.bestwayaftersales.co.uk/media/wysiwyg/bestway/support/manuals/S-S-002100.pdf
When filling the pool, I reduce the hot water temperature flow supplied by the house boiler, and fill direct with a hose from the hot tap.
I use a pump to empty the used pool water into water tubs and use it for plant watering and washing the cars with a Karcher jet gun, fitted with a suction hose.
Some people wash the filters in their dishwasher, I find it more effective to soak them overnight in warm water with "Vanish" dissolved in it.

Does anyone have any idea of electric running costs?
daskapital to Wear_The_Fox_Hat
16 Jun 17#31
Costs me nothing MUAHAHA (i have solar power)
It's going to cost about £1.60 - £2 a day depending on the cost of your electricity and the ambient temperature and what temperature you want it to be raised to. So as a very rough guide.... assume £2 a day. But that is also assuming you use it every day. I don't heat mine every day but I do leave the filter pump running when there is water in there.
Also looking at some of the comments above.... my Havana came with a chemical flotation device, i'm not sure if this does maybe someone who owns the Vegas can comment on it... but I'd imagine you get the floater included.
I've got a vegas. I guess for the £240 we paid it's not bad. It's great for the first use but after taking down, storing, and getting out again, I'd say it's a bit of a pain. It's impossible to get completely dry so storing it makes it a bit grim. A lot of messing adding chemicals to the water every day too. The 4-6 person Vegas is 4 person max. You'd have to be very friendly if you wanted to squeeze 6 in.

15 Jun 17#23
Buy the one for the number of people you expect to use it.
I would buy the Vegas if more than two of us were gonna use it. My Havana says 2-4 but as I mentioned earlier, there is no way you would get 4 people my size in there and I'm not exactly big either. But if you want more than 2 people to use it at the same time, I'd say get the Vegas. They are both almost identical anyway (same pump/covers/filters etc) the only difference is the Vegas is a bit bigger I guess.....

15 Jun 171#22
I agree. I was only going off what the manual said when giving the water company an estimate on usage. I have yet to keep the water more than a week though. But yeah pools and bigger spas people often change them after months not days or weeks. I guess it all depends on how dirty the water is after you get in haha!! always have a shower first, and maybe after too.

Bought one of these for the garage the missus has no idea to get into a few months ago, a week before I bought it she bought garden furniture I have pretended take 2 hrs to make up one chair (it takes 20 mins) So I go in the garage and Have a lovely relaxing dip for an hour and a bit then make up a chair whilst my skin de-wrinkles from the Jacuzzi. Perfect crime

ok yes im glad i bought it.
they're ok, its fun for a while.
i heard some scare stories from other owners, like they ripped, or that bestway wouldn't replace broken parts etc.
I can't comment on that because mine is only a few months old and so far everything is going great (touch wood)...
@scott... the discount will be applied on a case by case basis. my water company asked me to complete a form stating how much water, how often it's changed, dimensions of the spa etc etc... it totalled up to about a 15% discount so I was happy with that. Of course I had to guess at how often it would be emptied but the manual says every 3 days and I assumed I would use it over summer and calculated my use. Of course, other water companies may be different

no way should you need to empty it every 3 days. with proper chemicals you could empty it every 3 months.

Would be extremely surprised if 6 people can fit in it. Maybe 2 adults and 4 small kids ?
The spas will never accomodate how many people they claim to unless they are extremely small thin people :smile::smile:
But yeah good point I hadn't noticed it was bigger than the Havana... any idea on size.
If two people get into my Havana spa it's pretty full !!

I've had 2, pumps packed up both times, got 2 summers out of each!.....mine had some hammer though as kids played in it so water had to be topped up each night!......I'm pretty sure one pump failure was due to this, I know others who still have them after a few years and are fine, but theirs haven't been used as a glorified paddling pool!.....when water is circulating noise is fine, it's very noisy when the bubbles are on though!

I buy bromine tablets from Amazon now. Usually about 1kg of them for £10 ish... But I used to use the recommended kit made by a company called clearwater. Then I bought myself a ph meter from ebay for £5 as it worked out cheaper and more accurate. The clearwater ones work fine its just cheaper to buy a tester and some chemicals separately. Hope it helps.

I have a 450l fish tank which I have to do a 50% water change every 2 weeks, as it's over stocked. Do they offer much of a discount? I usually drain it into the garden stones and it soaks away.

Does anyone know if these were reduced in price over winter? I'd expect so, but I'd love it if anyone actually saw these on sale last winter. I'd like one, but I'm in no rush for me.
This is apparently what Disney use on their water rides, so if you do use Bromine, be prepared for a pleasantly nostalgic dunk.

The range are still doing the Havana spa for 299. It comes with everything this one does but also includes two free pillows.
I have one. If anyone has any questions please ask.
Some small info they don't tell you....
You need 700L of water to fill it 80% full. Contact your water company to arrange a discount on sewage charges if you are not emptying it out into the sewer.
You need chemicals. You will need to buy chlorine (or bromine which is better) and you need test strips to test the water PH level etc....
There is nothing super fast about the heating. It says it has a fast heat option, but it also tells you it will take about 8 hours to raise the temperature from cold tap water to the 40 degrees.
It uses about 2kW of electricity. So that's about 20p an hour for me (10p per kWh)
