Bestway Lay Z Spa Review

For those who can't afford a traditional, built-in spa, the Bestway Lay Z Spa may be the perfect compromise. And, because of its portability, it can be placed either inside or outside.

After a stress filled day, there's nothing better than putting on your swim trunks, adding your favorite fragrance to your hot tub or spa, and relaxing in it to help relieve all the tension from your body.

The Lay Z Spa

The Lay Z Spa is one of the most popular portable spas in both the U.S. and the UK

This is where a portable spa, such as the Lay Z Spa, really shines. Firstly, there are no costly renovation costs to worry about. And, secondly, just about anyone with a little bit of experience in working with home projects can easily piece the various parts together over the course of a leisurely afternoon. Setup requires no tools and an easy to follow setup instruction manual, as well as video, will help to walk you through the various setup steps.

The Bestway Lay Z Spa / inflatable hot tub is distributed internationally and sold in a variety of countries. Since the electrical components are different for different countries, when you place your order, make sure that you order the right one for the country in which you reside.

Installation Tips For The Lay Z Spa Hot Tub

Wherever you install it the spa, be sure to select a level surface that is able to support the spa plus the weight of the water and users. Also, remember that this is an inflatable unit - which means that it can possibly be punctured. Therefore, before positioning it, make sure that you clear the ground area of all debris and sharp objects such as nails, screws, and the like.

Before heating the spa, attach the flexible cover. This will speed up the heating of the spa as well as retaining the heat once the water is warm.

Benefits of the Lay Z Spa

• The number 1 benefit, of course, is the cost. While it doesn't have as many features and add-on attachments as a traditional built-in spa, it also will cost you thousands of dollars less.
• Since these are portable models, you can basically move them about as you please without having to do major reconstruction work. You can store it indoors, outdoors, in the garden, near the swimming pool - wherever you want.
• Because the spa unit is deflatable, if you know that you won't be using it for a while, you can simply deflate it and move it out of the way until you need it again.

Drawbacks of the Lay Z Spa

• In the U.S., replaceable water filtration cartridges for the unit can be difficult to come by. As a result, when you purchase the unit, also purchase a bunch of extra filters so that you aren't caught short. The manufacturer suggests changing the water filter once every two weeks. So, based on your planned usage, make sure that you have enough filters in stock.
• Because it is not connected to a permanent water source, in order to initially fill the spa, you will have to use a garden hose which can take quite a while.
• If your pump has fixed (i.e., permanent) wiring, you have to have it installed by a certified electrician and possibly approved by a municipal inspector.
• In some models, the heater will shut off automatically after two days. If you use your spa regularly, this can be a small inconvenience.
• Unlike most of the built in models, the Lay Z Spa is not insulated. As a result, on cooler days, you will be paying a bit more for electrical use.

Post Season Considerations

If you live in a cold weather state, when the summer season is over, you don't want to leave the spa unit outdoors over the course of the winter. As a result, you need to drain it, remove the filter cartridge, deflate the air from the spa, dry the spa, and fold it in a dry place until the following year.

All-in-all, for the money, the Lay Z Spa is one of the best portable spas that you can buy.
