Lay-Z-Spa 60029 Milan Airjet Plus Inflatable Hot Tub, 6 Person

Product Information

FREEZE SHIELD TECHNOLOGY: ensures that the water doesn’t freeze on cold winter nights so you can enjoy your hot tub all year round There is one major point we want to raise about the Milan, and Lay-Z-Spa's sizing in general, though – the number of people you can fit in there.

Sinking into the Milan's water was exactly what you'd expect – lovely and warming. We were worried that the floor being relatively thin padding would mean it wouldn't be very pleasant to sit on, but it's perfectly comfortable, actually – the fact that your weight is affected by the water presumably helps a lot. We haven't talked about running costs here – it will vary depending on your energy provider, and whether you're running solar panels or anything like that. But it is a lot of energy – Lay-Z-Spa's FAQ section has a bit of information about it, but the gist is that if you use it several times per week, it will have a noticeable cost. It'll be worth breaking it down and stashing it water-free when you're not actually planning to use it. But that's not specific to this hot tub – it's true of them all. Remove the filter housing and replace the stopper plugs provided. Now take the filter out (if it is still in good condition, then clean and store safely). Step 3. Disconnect the Pump

We really like the Lay-Z-Spa Milan Airjet Plus – it's a good size for a couple or small family, it's ultimately straightforward to set up and operate, and it comfortable to use. The main issue is not the actual hot tub but the pump. If water should freeze in any part of the heating system you will, without a doubt, be unable to use it again.

There's a final pipe on the outside of the tub for releasing the water. Smartly, a hose connector is provided that fits on this, meaning you can just use your standard hose to direct water down a drain, or to use for washing the car any other way you might recycle it when you're done. Connect a garden hose (with the adaptor supplied) to the drainage/inflation valve. Making sure the hose is long enough to reach a drain. ( Never drain the spa water into your lawn or flower beds because it contains chemicals that will kill them). Step 4. Remove All Fixtures and FittingsStoring a moist hot tub is asking for mould. Make sure all the water is completely drained out and go over it with a dry cloth before folding away. Step 7. Deflate the Lay-Z-Spa SET UP IN MINUTES (TOOL FREE): Lay-Z-Spas require no professional installation or tools, inflate with the included pump in less than 5 minutes ready for filling with water

With a wide range of premium features, we believe the Lay Z Spa Milan is a great choice for families and couples looking to upgrade their inflatable hot tub setup. You may have noticed one small issue there: how do you know how long to have it come on for to get the temperature you need? You don't – you just guesstimate (and give yourself a bit of a safety margin to be sure). Really, we'd like it to have a smarter heating system, so you could tell it to be a certain temperature at a certain time of day, and it would work out when it needs to come on – like smart thermostats do. But what's here is really useful, and not having to get out of bed in the evening if you've forgotten to turn it on (or off) is great. The main issue with using a hot tub during the winter months is that they are not designed to be used or stored in less than 4 degrees centigrade (40f). Here in the UK, temperatures drop far below that during winter and spring, making it unlikely that you are able to enjoy your hot tub. Always store your lazy spa inflatable hot tub somewhere dry and well ventilated and where the temperature is always above 6˚C. Unfortunately, this rules out the garden shed for most of us. At this stage, the tub is still perfectly carryable, but large enough to require two people (dragging it along the ground is, clearly, not advisable), so get it into position.ULTRA-STRONG DURAPLUS & BEAM CONSTRUCTION: provides superb structural stability, cushioned comfort, protection from UV rays and durability for long lasting use Generally, this is an incredibly intuitive and robust inflatable hot tub that’s ideal for anybody seriously committed to getting regular use out of their hot tub. The actual bubble massage is really pleasant, though it's not quite the 'massage' it promises to be from the literature. We do wish you could choose the intensity of the bubbles, though, so that they could be easier to talk over.

On the chilly day we first set up the Milan, it needed to stay on overnight to warm up to our requested 37°C. We've also tried it on 22°C days (where the temperature dropped to around 14°C overnight) and for the first heat, it still needed an overnight warm, because the water temperature was only about 12°C. The Milan claims to take 4-6, but if you go beyond two, you will find it immediately very intimate. Four people who are members of the same family? Fine. Two different couples, though? It will immediately feel like that kind of party, whether you want it to or not. And six is a pipe dream for adults. ENJOY A SOOTHING MASSAGE: with the relaxing 140 AirJet system for an all-surrounding massage experience It's equipped with a 'Freeze Shield' feature too, which basically means the pump will keep water moving on days when the temperature gets too low but you're not using it, so the water won't freeze and damage anything.Disconnect the pump and place the stop cap on the pipe. Place the pump to one side ready for cleaning. ( It may not look dirty but there will be residue from the chemicals used in the water on it) Step 4. Drain the Water Inflatable hot tubs should be stored folded as per the manual instructions, not on its side. By storing it on its side you risk permanent damage to the structure. Conclusion Even if the inflatable hot tub is turned off and empty, your hot tub should not be left outside in the winter. Besides possible motor issues, the harsher weather conditions may cause wear and tear of the vinyl and other fixtures. Is it OK to store a hot tub on its side?
