Inflatable hot tubs have become really popular in recent months as people have been spending more time at home and in the garden and although a rigid hot tub is superior in many ways an inflatable hot tub can be purchased from many supermarkets and DIY merchants with prices starting at about £400 for a smaller one designed for up to four people.
After unpacking the new hot tub, you will need to decide where to site it in the garden or on a patio area. The ground will need to be level and firm and there needs to be an appropriately rated outdoor socket nearby. It is not sensible to use an extension lead as it may be overloaded and there is the danger of it catching fire.
The new hot tub will usually come with instructions on how to set it up but there are many instructional videos online to help with this process. Once the hot tub is set up, you can begin to fill it with water. If it is possible to fill from the hot tap this will make heating the tub water much quicker.
Some people worry about the chemicals that are needed to keep the water in good condition, so the simplest way to maintain good water quality is to buy multi-function chlorine tablets which are placed in the provided dispenser. Regular testing with testing strips will show whether the level of chlorine and the PH levels in the water are correct and safe.
