I've always wanted a sex pond, but have not really got the space. :disappointed:

How do we get that price online?

Buy this. We got one last year and we definitely got our money's worth! It's back out again this year and it's fab!!!

what the hell is layz boy spa,is that a reclining chair that has built in spa for your feet :wink:

tesco one shows oos online does it matter ?

It's just a inflatable tub that's it with hot water

Did this yesterday in Maidstone. Took a while to get upto temperature but well worth the price. Don't forget you will need a few more quid on top for your chlorine and test strips.

so do you have to prove that tesco have stock if anyone can advise before a wasted trip tomorrow

No, that's the wife

Essentially an oversize bathtub!

​contact the customer service online

Anyone advise on good test strips I am colour blind on the red spectrum and find the current make tricky.

there's a lazy spa deal on here every day !!!

We've had one of these for the past 4 year's. Wasn't sure how much use we would get out of it initially on a yearly basis.

Overall, I've been in it at 3am on multiple occasions, Sun, Rain & Snow. Even Christmas Day.

Its a great hit at BBQ's, brings people out of their shell :stuck_out_tongue: (_;)

No.

How much do these cost to run? Do you keep it heated all the time or just heat it when needed?

It has water jets. You don't get that with an average Toys R Us inflatable tub.

I'm having a laugh,I know what they are,I had one about 8 or 9 years ago.

Am I the only one to notice that the OP has called it a Layz boy (which is a chair),when in fact this hot tub is called a layz spa

I noticed. They might change it now we have both noticed :smile:

Prepare for my attempt at humour...

HOT (tub).

​you do if I'm sat in it (_;)

Anyone know if they made the pumps/heaters last longer than one season on these things ? As when we had one it failed about 3 times in one summer,then the following year we got another (in the hope they were redesigned) and the pump/heater failed again.

Got a Vegas, in it now. Love it. Do It! stop being negative and hesitant....

I think it's a blow up pool which has bubbles, save money and get one from Argos then fart in it lol it ain't no hot tub that's for sure

So if I go into a Homebase store they will honour this price then? As online you can get it for this.

I cant find the Vegas spa for that price on the Tesco website. Does anyone have a link?

​they have powerful jets, from a frequent spa goer these are excellent

I can't see it online for less than £336 at homebase?

Bought one from Argos a couple of years ago and it's great. When we are using it I use cheap bleach instead of chlorine tablets, swap and wash my filters regularly and don't have any probs. To save on electricity overnight I take a few buckets out and replace with boiling water in the morning.

​ no it's not. donut

We bought our Spa from Homebase, and they matched the price but didn't offer the 10% extra off?? Should we go back and ask for the extra 10%? Would they entertain that? Wouldn't normally but £30 odd back is quite a bit of money.

​I'd email customer services first and push them for a result. Easier to go in store with an email instructing them to do the refund. Better than wasting fuel in the car. Can argue in store as a last resort but try the cheapest option first

​homebase.co.uk/en/…icy

Don't have one myself, something I was interested to know as well - website says £7-£10 a week
I guess you have to keep it switched on all the time to filter the water, you'd also have to buy a chemical kit to keep it algae and insect free

lay-z-spa.co.uk/buy…ons

They have a pvc cover that resists damage but I think a determined cat could rip it. Our is in our conservatory and we keep the cat away just in case as a new liner is as much as buying a complete setup.

I was sceptical when I bought it - we planned to get a 'proper' hot-tub, so were just using this as a trial, to see if we would actually use one. It has been outside for the last 18 months and has been brilliant, we tend to use it more in the winter, rather than summer. Having used a friends £8k 'proper' hot-tub, there are clearly benefits - but not enough to for us to justify the additional cash.
To reduce running costs, we have lined the outer cover with the foil coated bubblewrap - you put it between the liner and the inflatable element, so you cant see it. We have also cut 50-mm celotex to create a proper-lid. With these modifications, you dont lose much heat over-night.....
Accept these arent for everyone. Suspect some of the 'haters' have never actually tried one.....

this is annoying. i bought one 2 weeks ago at £338

Anyone got a receipt to show?
My Homebase would only do it for £291 ?

Main question, how loud is this hot tub when its on ?

Annoyingly so IME, also, the jets cool the water. I'd happily buy one once I have more time to enjoy it though I typically use without the jets.

just in case anyone had doubts if it did heating and bubbles at the same time got mine from homebase Bournemouth today

well that's what I did​

​there website says 10%

You need to keep it on all the time? People talking about not losing heat overnight etc. Must cost a fortune in electricity. I'd love one of these but running costs in Scotland would be huge.

and electricity!

​love those ideas. got ours on Saturday.
how do you keep it going in winter? it says not to be out in temps below 4c..

​not all the time. it warms up about 2c per hour. so if you let it drop from 38 to say 32 overnight.. just needs 3 hours to warm back up (24p an hour on our electricity plan).
I filled ours from the hot tap. by my calcs, its £1 for the water and 80p for the gas boiler to heat that water

Sounds like your cat is desperate to get in, maybe you should help it?

We are on a water meter and economy 7 - Leave the heater on all the time as its more cost effective to leave it running and when the temp drops by 2c it comes back on for about 15 minutes then goes back off. If you turn it off and the temp drops by 8+ its takes a while to get back up.

We did put thermal insulation between the outside cover and the inflated tub inside to help keep the heat in, also raised it off the decking with a foam pad.

Anyone with a receipt for £266 ??
Please :smile:

Just got this at my local Homebase for £266 thank you

Nothing more than a kids paddling pool with a kettle on the side.

I couldn't imagine sitting in a hot tub with the hot weather as it is at the moment.
Can it be run without hearing the water up??

Just eat some baked beans and hard boiled eggs and hop in the paddling pool. Same effect.

Unhygienic and tacky

​you seen her leaked photos? oO

After renting a "proper" hot tub a few times in the last couple of years, I do think they are so much better than these lazy spas, but for the cost these aren't bad. I've seen deals including fitting for the proper ones for under £3k. Im definitely considering a proper one. I usually pay £200 to rent one for 4 nights, u suppose you could nearly buy a lazy spa for that price but they are a massive improvement

Do they come with ear plugs?

Thanks. Anyone else with a receipt?
Need date on it ?
As the staff must think it's coming out of there wages

Store denied they did a price match, after an hour arguing, they agreed to price match, but not add the 10% discount.

I have the receipt but can't upload. will try later​

London Kidbrooke store declined price match as Tesco direct is a online retailer.. zzzzz

Thanks

this should not be allowed as a deal as it clearly is not a deal went into store and they showed me price match policy "banged to rights" clearly states Price Match Guarantee

1. they did offer me 10% of difference as per price promise and 2.they did say it states price match does not apply to online which tesco direct is but did it as goodwill im happy as tesco direct have none and i got it at lowest price

[/URL][/img]

I recommend you don't buy one then.

I am torn between this and the one at a studio!!

so tempting deal

Would love to be in this with busty Carol Kirkwood BBC breakfast weather

​She's definitely got a warm front

Carol must have her bras specially made

Would this survive a cat using it as a scratching post? I know weird query but my cat has in the past ruined a few easy set up swimming pools ( inflated ring at top) thanks!

Ouch!

Thank you as the more receipts with that price of £266 gives me more proof for the manager

​I didn't think she had any!

That was for a 6 person one, with gazebo. Was the one you got a full rigid hot tub with plastic molded seats and jets, lights etc

anyone had any luck getting the extra back to make it £266 rather than just price matching tesco @ £295

Now now, don't lie. It was an inflatable circle and you had to fart in it to keep the bubbles going.
Show me the website...

Does it have the time option on the controller? I'm confused because I thought the old style pumps didn't heat and bubble at the same time, but your picture doesn't mention the timer, which is on the new models. Thanks

Seems that the Tesco price has gone back up to £399 in the last hour or so.

**** I had one reserved and was literally on my way to collect it

He loves water lol

I'm also wondering if he has wrecked any neighbours?! :thinking:

How did u post the picture? I'm new ..Thanks!

:thinking:‌ :thinking:

is this still available at that price. Its showibg At £399 online if im looking at the right thing?????

Yeah, what it is, is....

...sorry, I just can't bring myself to answer. I keep looking at your username.

‌ :grin:

yes it doesn have a timer button to set for 1 2 3 hours ect

The deal now looks dead as the Tesco hot tub is back to it's normal price....

gutted I missed this

i emailed them as i had the same and going in tonight with an email from customer services

Hopefully the email from customer services will be all the backup you need. In store cant really backdown if you have a written guarantee from thiers customer services department.

went in and all sorted just showed them the email

As I purchased 10 days ago Homebase price matched Tesco £295 but did not give an extra 10% off
A phone call ok'd it -got the guys name - went in today and got £29.50 back on my card - but even
Then .......one woman on customer service said no and tried to put up a fight ..yet the manager told her to do it straight away.

Sorry what do you have to do. I can't see all the comments. Thank you

Its about time thete was anothwr deal on these bad boys

Sorry for the long post, but it may be useful to some. Just some comments that I have found thru these various threads and some for myself

Filling it I have calculated (we have a meter with Yorkshire Water) costs £1.Drainage is about £1.20 on that, I have called YW and they are looking into discounting the drainage completely as it drains onto the fields behind the house – more her - hotukdeals.com/dea…490

Heating the water up (not maintaining the heat) costs (on EDF plan we are on) 24p/hour, at 2c per hour.Filling the empty tub from the hot tap (gas combi boiler) with a mix of hot and cold water costs about 80p in gas, this ended up being OVER 40c! Needed to keep an eye on it and not have it too hot.To heat it from 20c to 40c using the heater would be £2.40. or to refill from empty with hot water would be £1.80 for comparison.



It has been outside for the last 18 months and has been brilliant, we tend to use it more in the winter, rather than summer. Have to keep it running in winter to keep the temperature above 4c

To reduce running costs, we have lined the outer cover with the foil coated bubblewrap ( £8.96 here for 0.6m x 10m - ebay.co.uk/itm…ust= )- you put it between the liner and the inflatable element, so you cant see it. We have also cut 50-mm celotex to create a proper-lid. ( £26.31 at Wickes - wickes.co.uk/Cel…544) With these modifications, you dont lose much heat over-night.....

clean and dry your liner. Mildew thrives in damp conditions and you don’t want to pull your spa out of storage next spring to find it covered in mould.

To prevent this, mix some mild laundry detergent or washing up liquid with some warm water and soak a soft, clean cloth in the solution. Wipe around the inner part of the liner before soaking up any moisture with an absorbent cloth.

Fold the flat liner back to reveal a section of the outer walls and part of the base. Clean and dry the areas before folding another section back and repeating the process. Because the base has been face down in darkness all season you may find a more rigorous clean is needed here. One method that some users use to ensure their spa is fully dried before they put it into storage is talcum powder. Sprinkling talcum powder over the liner prevents it sticking together when it’s placed into storage and absorbs any remaining moisture.

Chemicals pack (cheaper than the Clearwater ones and some bigger) - ebay.co.uk/itm…649

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.



To save on electricity overnight I take a few buckets out and replace with boiling water in the morning.



As for maintaince from what I've read online I've decided to just use multifunction 20g chlorine (or bromine) tablet in the supplied chemical floater and plan to add another ever 3-5 days (when tablet is nearly dissolved) also clean the filter once a week and replace it every month (12 filters are about £22 on eBay)

Hi guys I can’t find this on the Homebase web site am I doing something wrong ?
