Intex 28481E Simple Spa 77in x 26in Inflatable Hot Tub with Filter Pump & Cover

I felt inclined to write this review on my wifes account. The set up was simple enough and the instructions are easy to understand. We bought this because it is smaller and figured it would be a easier on electricity. Keep in mind your bill will go up regardless. Its been colder here, 30s at night. Our bill went up $60 this month. But we use it every night at 102 degrees. I recommend turning it down to the 90s when not in use to save power. Goes up 1-2 degrees per hour depending on weather. The instructions actually say to take a shower before each use. Not only do I find that weird, but I think it ruins the initial relaxing feeling of getting into a hot tub. (I mean unless youre covered in mud) Just stay on top of maintenance to keep the water clean. This is very important because its only 200 gallons. They say 4 can fit in here, but not 4 adults. More like 2 adults and 2 kids. The bottom of the spa is actually very soft, not too shabby for being on the ground. I set it to 102 and by the time I get out 30 minutes later its around 100. It will lose heat even faster with the bubbles on. I actually dont mind the temp drop. I call this thing the Ghetto Tub but it doesnt have to feel ghetto. I built a deck for it. I wanted to share that here. I will attach pictures. Just need some 8 and 10 ft 2x6s. deck blocks, deck screws and waterproof sealer. Very easy, minimal cutting and you dont need to be a woodworker to figure it out. If you plan on running an extension cord, be sure to buy the most heavy duty one you can find. Anyways, we love this thing so far. Everything seems to be working properly. Time will tell but for now 5 stars for sure
