From lightweight portability to easy setup and installation, SaluSpa® inflatable hot tubs have multiple convenient benefits... including some you might be overlooking.
It’s time to debunk some of the most common inflatable hot tub myths!
Myth #1: Inflatable hot tubs aren't durable
Our portable hot tubs would beg to differ! We make 3 types of inflatable hot tubs, and each is constructed with durable materials that are built to last. Our traditional inflatable hot tubs are made with a three-layer, puncture-resistant Tritech® material. We also offer an upgraded Tritech hot tub that features MaxHold™ fabric beams. These beams are made of a specially engineered material that prevents stretching, providing you with a hot tub that retains air pressure like no other. Finally, our FortiFiber™ drop stitch hot tubs are supported by thousands of interwoven fine threads, making the walls rigid and sturdy, more like a hard-sided hot tub, with the durability and lightness that our traditional inflatable hot tubs offer.
Myth #2: You can’t use your inflatable hot tub all year round
You can enjoy your SaluSpa inflatable hot tub all year long — especially in the winter! With our innovative Freeze Shield® winterizing technology, you can heat the hot tub to its maximum temperature (104ºF), even in the colder months.* Once you’re done relaxing, the internal system will maintain its temperature at just above freezing to prevent damage to the parts and liner.
*For best results, we recommend only using your hot tub when the temperatures outside are above 14ºF.
Myth #3: Inflatable hot tubs are hard to set up and difficult to use
Whether you have the traditional heater pump (simply attaches to the matching valves on the side of the tub) or the UltraFit™ tub (built into the liner to offer a space-saving solution), setup is as easy as pressing a button! The multi-function pump does everything – inflates the hot tub, heats it to 104ºF, and runs the massage and filtration systems – all through the control panel. Plus, you can lift the panel so that you don’t even need to exit the water to adjust the settings!
Myth #4: Inflatable hot tubs don’t have effective massage systems
Each of our hot tubs features a massage system that will have you relaxing in the comfort of your own home in no time.
AirJet™ inflatable hot tubs have over 100 openings on the bottom floor that will release heated air bubbles into the water, surrounding you with a warm, relaxing massage.
Our HydroJet™ inflatable hot tubs have the same heated bubble massage as our AirJet tubs, along with a few adjustable nozzles near the pump that release a soothing jet stream of water for a targeted massage.
For an upgraded massage, our HydroJet Pro™ inflatable hot tubs are the best of both worlds! These hot tubs feature adjustable nozzles along the inside walls that release soothing jet streams of water, while jets along the bottom release calming bubbles that target your feet and back.
Myth #5: Water maintenance is difficult and expensive
With the right tools, water maintenance is as easy as 1-2-3!
1. Test your water with chemical test strips
2. Use chemicals as needed to maintain the balance listed on the bottle
3. Remove debris from the water surface
Bestway® is the one-stop shop for your inflatable hot tub needs. With hot tub chemical kits (that even include bromine!) and lightweight cleaning sets, taking care of your hot tub is simple once you establish a maintenance routine.
Now that these myths are busted, it's time to find the inflatable hot tub that’s best for you. SaluSpa offers a wide variety of models – with different massage systems, materials, graphic prints and even smartphone app-control!
