" ... Several of the O-rings and gaskets inside the pump unit have rotted out after a year. ... "
" ... My only complaint is how it turns off after not being used for a few days. ... "
" ... For about 10 months. ... Then the heater/pump unit started giving the E2 error. ... Resetting it worked for a week or so, then it quit entirely. ... Then, about 9 months later, the replacement unit did the same thing. ... "
" ... So, I turn it back on, and come back out a few days later only to find it's done the same thing. ... "
" ... So i got year and half out of this product . ... "
" ... had to throw it all out 6 months after purchase. ... "
" ... I have only had this for a week and the pump already won’t turn on!! ... "

" ... I have not changed the water just added and clean out my filters twice a week, keeping a chlorinated tablet in my floater. ... "
" ... The bubbles are more powerful than I thought they would be. ... "
" ... I would buy extra filters and make sure to keep up your maintenance and check water often to keep it clean and working properly. ... "
" ... We use a hose to siphon off the water when we want to clean it or move it. ... "
" ... Once running it is very nice to sit in and the bubbles can almost make me float so someone much lighter should be floating around easy. ... "
" ... As promised, a rugged inflatable hot tub, heater works fine, slow but gets there and maintains water at the desired temperature, the bubbles work great also. ... "
" ... The top is tight on the tub and keeps it warm and clean when not in use. ... I did clean the filters after every use and they do get dirty pretty quick. ... Cleaning them was a breeze, just a quick rinse in the sink. ... "
" ... Bubbles are nice but the heat soak is what we came for. ... "

" ... Absolutely love this tub!!! ... "
" ... In my opinion the sound of the motor is masked by the splashing water well enough. ... I look forward to ending my day relaxing in the tub with a glass of wine. ... "
" ... must buy new complete pump($179) or new tub and pump. ... "
" ... I strongly recommend using the Oil absorbing starfish you can get at any pool store. ... "

" ... My husband tests the water and puts in what ever it needs to keep the water good! ... Before we got it I said to my husband who found this online, lets go and compare @ our local pool place. ... "

" ... I maintain it at 90 and time it for every two hours and when I want to use it, heat it up ahead of time. ... "

" ... Once this happens you will get an unclearable E02 error and your pump will not turn on. ... "
" ... Worked fine for 3 weeks, then kept getting error messages indicating flow problems. ... "
" ... But every time we use the bubbles, it turns itself off with error code E02 saying there is a pump problem. ... When we disconnect the electricity and then plug it in again, it resets itself and works fine for a time - then, the error code comes again when we use the bubbles. ... "
