Mine is plugged directly into a wall outlet

Mine has never been outside, it was in a covered tent and then in the garage. The stains was from the chemicals

The tub is 220. I might have said that wrong.

Go to my about page on my channel and you can email me

@@SmittySahnI sent an email to you about an hour 30 minutes ago so i just wanted to let you know. If you didn’t receive one then I think it might be in spam. Thanks

Glad it helped

It was a pretty good hot tub, the pump turned out to be crap, and apparently I wasn't the only one with issues.

Gotta love that... :/

Awesome :)

You should NOT need to drain it all out. It's just the mix of chemicals needs to be done in a certain order. I messed with it all day and it would not work until I did it in the right order and then everything was fine. You have to check it every few days with the test strips to make sure it stays balanced.

@@SmittySahn OK awesome. It seem like that was the case. Because you were pretty detailed on there and didn’t mention that. I seriously have been taking such good care of my hot tub but could not get away from this clear green water as I call it. I like you went to Google first I’ve tried all kinds of things. Then I found your video today after weeks of trying to get it right. So I’m gonna follow your steps. And then I’ll reply back and let you know if I have the same awesome result. Cheers!

Yeah, they wanted $350 to fix the pump, it was $400 to just buy a whole new one

@@SmittySahn they fixed mine for free, it still fell under the warranty

I'm not sure what is going on with yours. My only guess is to unplug it from the wall and let it sit for a few minutes then put the filter on and then plug it back in and try it again.

@@SmittySahn seller recommend to change part of water and add more water, more that upper level . Now working

Sorry I'm not following, what is "a beta A"

Beta AI for content creation to do product descriptions

@@almalita Sorry about that I guess RUclips is just not sending me notification that I am getting messages from people. I've been using a couple AI programs, do you remember the video? I am not sure what Beta AI program that would have been

@@SmittySahn hi, don't worry about it, I find what I needed. Thank you for your time 😁👍🏻

Nice :)

Saltwater hot tubs have a salt cell chlorinator that functions in producing chlorine naturally through an electrolysis process. Therefore you do not need to add chemical chlorine directly into the hot tub to keep it clean and hygienic.

Are they connected to the correct outlets?

@@SmittySahn yes

I never touched the wires inside the unit

Awesome, glad it helped

Cleaning the filter every couple weeks to a month should be normal. Daily, something is wrong, and I'm not 100% sure but there is a senor inside that is either failing or faulty. I think there are videos on RUclips of how to replace that, if you want to try it on your own. If not the company should be able to send you a new pump if it isn't that old.

Sorry but RUclips doesn't like 30 second videos, so I had to drag it out a little.

@@SmittySahn I saw the tldr. Thanks!

@@SmittySahn yeah but you could at least try and make it not boring

Awesome, glad it helped

Awesome :D

Sounds like it might be from the chemicals

I have it set to 104

The only thing I can think of is there is an Eco mode. Make sure it is not set to that. Other than that, it should keep the temp. BUT... if it is 12 degrees out and depending on how long you are in there the temp will drop. I have mine in an insulated tent and even during winter it still drops from 104 down to about 95~92 ish. after being in for about 3~4 hours or so. If you are outside in 12* and start at 104 I could see it dropping too low 90s* easily. I don't see how it can maintain at least 97. Also, if you have bubbles turned on the temp will drop even faster. the 110v ones cannot run heat and bubbles at the same time. If you are out there and do not run bubbles it will keep its temp longer.

Hey man did you ever get that heating problem figured out my grandparents got one of these yesterday and they’re having the same problem I’d really appreciate some advice on it if you have any

@@bamabloodaboogaloo9929 Yes I did. At the standard plug and play 120v, the heater runs at around 1kw, which heats the water about 1 degree per hour or less depending on outside temperature, wind etc... What I had to do was wire it for 210v 220v whatever it is, which required a 60amp breaker in my panel and a 50 amp disconnect before the breaker panel. The heater now runs at 4kw and heats up 4 or 5 degrees per hour. When I first got the tub, it took about 3 days to go from 70 degree city water temp to the 104 degrees, once it maxed out at 104, we were able to get a good 2 hours of sitting time before it dropped to the mid 95 98 degree mark and by the next day, it was 104 again. The heater at 120v just can't keep up for long extended periods which is normal for a plug and play. If your wanting to enjoy it for long long periods of sitting or even winter use, you'll have to convert it to 220v. You can find the instructions for that in the online manual and it will show you what you need. Feel free to ask if I wasn't clear on something. Also make sure you're in st mode fir the best results and it was recommended to me that the 2 smaller jet valves are in the off position while you're not using it, as this can cool the water down by adding in cool air bubbles.

If RUclips would promote 10-second videos of me being rude and just saying "change the filter dummy"... Then I would make 10-second videos. But RUclips doesn't promote that kind of stuff. So I am respectful and explained everything without rambling on too much. Just to make RUclips happy.

Well, this isn't TikTok and RUclips doesn't like short videos. (until recently that they are promoting "shorts" videos)

@@SmittySahn Thank you so much! Do you like it? Pretty sturdy?

​@@DyLemmaOG Yes, and yes very sturdy. One warning though. It is not meant to be a tent that is left up year round (according to the manufacture) Although, if you live in a warmer climate with little to no wind and no snow, you probably could leave it up year round. I didn't see that warning when I put them up and connected them together. I used ropes and bricks to hold them in place. (we have crazy winds out here. I really didn't plan on taking them down during winter anyway. And they are certainly showing plenty of wear after a few year. The snow finally wore out the top and it was starting to rip in many places. Although now with the fence around it to stop the wind and the tarp over the top to keep the snow from destroying it. They should last a long long time being outdoors and up 24/7.

@@SmittySahn It looks like the feet have screw holes? I would just screw down the tent to my pavers, I only want to try this out for the winter time. We barely get snow here, there might be one time a year where we get 1ft of snow but that's about it. A lot of rain here though quite frequently

​@@DyLemmaOG I'm sure I saw the holes, but didn't think twice about it. Probably would have saved me some money to just anchor it to the back patio. Just the wind and the little snow we do get have just wore the tent out. Putting the tarp over it now has really helped save it from just getting ripped apart.

I got almost two years out of it. But outside of the mechanical issue it had, I'm sure it would have lasted much much longer.

I hope it works

Hi i am currently having this issue on Bestway HydroJetPro Maldives how did you get to the heat exchanger ?

I having the same problem with my Bestway Hawaii. The substance is definitely rubbery from inside the tubing or other interior part.

Yep, me too on the bestway hawaii pro

It says its a 6 person hottub, and there are 7 seats in total which with 6 or 7 adults it would be fairly cozy fit. So, it is perfectly ok to hold 4 adults with plenty of space.

I totally forgot to put the total time in the video. It heats up at about roughly 2 degrees per hour. Going from empty, filling with garden hose water which was probably around 60 degrees. To get from 60* to 104* is about 22 hours, going at 2 degrees per hour.

Meaning what?

They wanted $350 to 'fix it' (basically replace it for me).. The whole thing was $400 to buy a new one.

Most definitely, it has been well worth it.

Very good tip. Thanks much :D

That sucks to hear. Sorry about that.

I started with it out on the back patio, but winter came, as it does, and I didn't trust it being outside, so I moved it to the garage.

It's been very nice, certainly worth getting for sure. So far no issues and no complaints at all.

@@SmittySahn Hi Jason Sorry, may I ask you a couple more questions. 1. What is the price for these tubs. Giver take? 2. Do you have to be careful and watch for rodents getting in to them? Are the Getaway tubs secure?.

​@@dianereddick6569 ​ No worries at all. The one that I have (Getaway Bar Harbor) was just about $6,000. Rodents... I'm not sure, we don't have much for rodents where I am located. The only thing running around our neighborhood is random cats and dogs. If you go to my other video on the 'Getaway Bar Harbor Hot Tub - New Hot Tub Setup' at about 4:24 you can see the bottom side of the hot tub. It is fairly well sealed up on the bottom, but there are some little gaps and spaces, so they could get in there and make a nest, but they can't get into the hot tub from the bottom. The top side on the other hand has a cover, and it is heavy enough to create a nice seal so nothing can get into it. The cover also has clips that the cover can snap into to keep it "locked" so to speak so kids can't get into the hot tub. We have had that one sitting out on the back patio now for a year with no issues. So as far as them being secure, I would say they stay fairly well closed and sealed up. Hope that helps.

@@SmittySahn Thank you so much Jason. I appreciate the information.

@@dianereddick6569 No worries at all, glad it helped

Awesome

So for the record... You should really start making some of your own videos so others can ridicule you before you start trying to correct other people on their videos. First off, I know what the brand is called I just wanted to see if anyone else got the Office Space reference, and someone did get the reference, so you're a little late to that party. And second, since you want to get really nitpicky, it's not even called a hot tub by the company (Intex). They call it a Spa, or Massage Spa, or Bubble Massage Set. check out their website and you'll see "hot tub" is not really even used anywhere. I called it a spa at the very beginning of the video, and since I didn't edit this particular video at all, I did misspeak and say pool. So I called it a pool instead of a spa (or hot tub as you call it)... Ya got me there. "Changing the filters every month" If you think it is an expensive habit, then maybe you shouldn't own one, or contact the company to get them to re-engineer their product. I did call them a couple times already and they do recommend changing out the filter every month anyway (of course depending on usage). Now on the new hot tub I have I only need to change the filter once a year. I knew that going into purchasing it because that is how it was designed.

Thanks for watching :D
