Is this a real hot tub or just a bubble spa?

It is an inflatable bubble spa. The 140 jets push air bubbles around the interior; there are no directional water nozzles for targeted massage.

How long does it take to heat up?

Expect many hours, often overnight, to reach a comfortable temperature from cold tap water. A fitted cover and insulating mat help hold the heat.

Does the app work with any phone?

The Intex app runs on iOS and Android and connects over Wi-Fi. It lets you start heating cycles and check whether the filter cartridges need changing.

Intex rates it for four adults. Four is comfortable for sitting and chatting; two gives more room to stretch out.

What do I need to run it?

A level, firm surface, a standard outdoor power outlet, filter cartridges and spa chemicals. The four LED lights need three AAA batteries each, not included.

Can I leave it out in winter?

It can stay outside, but the inflatable walls lose heat quickly in cold weather and the pump should not run in freezing conditions. Many owners drain and store it for winter.

What reviewers say

Owners treat it as an affordable, easy-to-set-up backyard soaker and like the bubble action and app control. Common complaints are slow heating, heat loss through the inflatable walls, and bubble jets that are relaxing rather than therapeutic.
