The M Spa Tekapo 6-Person Square Hot Tub, Black/Blue, 2021 Model with UVC Sanitizer, 132 Jets, 930L, 1500W Heater

This is a brilliant inflatable hot-tub and accommodates 4 adults adequately...6 adults however would be crammed. For 2 adults, it's an absolutely perfect size to stretch out in. I found the bubble function to be pretty noisy, and using this for any length of time will drop the water temperature quite quickly as the pump has to draw in cold air to create the bubbles! The bubble function is not particularly therapeutic, just rather gimmicky.For a first-time fill, I'd recommend siphoning hot water from a bath - trust me, this will save £'s in heating up from cold. Purchase the hot tub chemicals as separates - don't buy a starter-kit, as you will quickly need to re-stock after a while. I'd also recommend buying a length of clear silicone tubing - this comes in handy for siphoning out debris that gets left at the bottom after many uses. As good as the filter is, it won't get everything.Now onto probably THE MOST anticipated question - how much does this inflatable hot-tub cost to run daily? Realistically, I found it flitted anywhere between £2 to £3, so be prepared for quite a hefty monthly/quarterly bill!! Yes, there are websites that claim the daily running cost is £1, though I suspect this would be for a really small 2-person tub.My hot-tub was placed underneath a gazebo, so it was sheltered. To mitigate heat-loss, place the hot tub on foam mats, with a layer of reflective material on top, so heat from the floor reflects back. For those of you who are DIY-inclined, construct something sturdy to fit around the inside that reflects the heat back on itself when the heater is on but not in use. I'd highly recommend buying or constructing something sturdy and reflective to fit around the outside, firstly to minimise heat loss further and secondly to protect the hot tub from the claws of neighbourhood cats!Due to the cost, my hot tub has been put away for now. I managed to get it back into the box it came in (TIP: use a vacuum to suck out the remaining air).Final thoughts: I absolutely LOVE this inflatable hot tub and have no regrets purchasing it. Considering what it costs to hire a similar-sized tub, I will certainly be saving money when I come to use it at Christmas and on those (rare) good-weather weekends in the spring/summer. It's a good investment for a bit of luxury now and again!

The hot tub is brilliant fast and easy to put up and set up takes time to warm up but when full and heated it is amazing. Only down fall you carnt turn bubbles down a bit .

Like most people I read a lot of reviews online for hot tubs including a number of useful articles written by the Consumer group "which?" Before I bought this MSPAR tekapo. Having read these I built a surround for the inflatable tub and insulated it and I filled the tub with warm water from my sink tap to reduce the electric element heating cost given the majority of complaints about hot tubs relate to heater malfunction or inability of the hot tubs to heat, remain hot or the cost of heating them. Building the surround and insulating it certainly appeared to work as my heating cost remained very similar with only a small increase in consumption until the heater stopped working in approximately 7 months. I think it is likely that it would have stopped sooner , inline with other reviewers if I had not built the surround for it and been using warm water from my sink tap to fill it. Most sites suggest the water could last for several months , that filters can be changed after a week or more and that chemical balancing is easy and can be periodically checked, this was far from the case . The hot tub instructions state that filters need to be cleaned daily and changed every 3-5 days, water dumped every 3-5 days and chemical balence checked regularly ( daily if necessary). I followed theses instruction and still had an F1 error code which shut the tub down within one month. I managed to get the tub working again having to apply a line flush product to the spa and fully dump the water. I would strongly advise buying a submersible pump for this as it will speed up the water dumps considerably. In a seven month period I have spent most days maintaining the tub ( water dumps and , filter changes almost weekly and daily chemical valence checks) yet despite a considerable maintenance regime the tub has had 3 F1 error codes and a heater failure, the last F1 has completely shut the tub down which no longer works. The tub was good fun when it worked but required constant maintenance, far greater than was suggested on any of the sites which I read prior to buying it, I do not think a tub should have so many problems in such a short time period, especially when most sites suggest inflatable tubs should last for years not months and given the contstant maintenance. If you buy this product I would suggest building a surround and insulating it as I did, heat the water from your sink taps , buy a submersible pump to speed up the water dumps and you will need a chemical stock ( I had a line flush product used every water dump, chlorine dispenser, Ph adjusters increase and decrease and an anti scale and stain agent if you have hard water) I would also suggest a pool skimmer and a pool vacuum.
