How Long Does A Lazy Spa Take To Heat Up

The set up – Lay-Z-Spa boasts an effortless set up, and I must say, the ease of which I was able to set this up had me rethinking my journalism career and question one in engineering instead (okay, maybe not quite, but it really was simple). All the items were packed securely and easy to set up, with instructions and accompanying videos online to help.

The instructions are picture-based, which can be a bit of a challenge but pairing them with the online videos really helped. In the box, you get everything you need to set up: the tub itself, the pump, an inflatable lid and all filter attachments. The tub itself inflated in what felt like seconds, and then it was just organising the pump and filters.

To protect the tub, I put down a protective mat underneath. Lay-Z-Spa stocks a few varieties of these and it made me feel much safer setting up the tub in my garden. Excited puppy didn’t slow things down, too much. The mat slots together like a children’s play mat, nice and easily. Even when you have a zoomy-ing puppy accompanying you. With the puppy safely stowed inside, the next thing to do was fill it up! The entire set up process took me under 30 minutes, and then the hose was left to fill the tub which took just under 4 hours. Blowing up and filling up Success! The tub was up, filled and I must admit, I was feeling very proud of myself. If I can set it up, anyone can. We rate the ease of set up 4/5!

1. How quickly that will happen really depends on 3 factors: 1.
2. Air temperature of where your hot tub is located (Outside vs.
3. Inside) 2.
4. Your hot tub cover (Age of cover) 3.
5. The condition of your hot tub as well as it’s components.
6. Do not turn down your hot tub to conserve energy! This can actually increase your energy bill as the tub will have to work harder to heat up and regulate it’s temperature.

Frequent use and maintenance can actually extend of your spa. Location Just like a house where most of the heat is lost from the roof, the same goes for a hot tub. So, if you keep the cover on your hot tub it will run more efficiently and warm up faster because of it.

• Here at The Waterworks, you’ll always hear and stress the importance of using your spa cover.
• If your hot tub is located inside, and the air temp is around 76 degrees, it will take about 4 hours to heat up your spa to 100 degrees.
• The lower the outside temps the longer you will have to wait before your spa is ready.

Therefore, by leaving the cover on while it’s heating up you can help it warm up faster. Another part of location is considering where you have placed, or will place, your spa because the landscape can affect the efficiency as well. If your hot tub is in a windy spot, you may want to consider adding a decorative wind shield to prevent the airflow from cooling your spa during the windy days.

Spa cover & components It’s really easy to forget about the hot tub components that are not visible (i.e. heater, pump, jets, etc.). If all these components are maintained and in tip top shape, your spa will run more efficiently and of course heat up the water that much faster. The reason you want your components in good shape is because you want the water and heat to flow freely through the pump, jets, etc.

If you’re not sure in what kind of shape the elements are and/or are not sure where to start, give us a call and we can walk you through it. Or, call our service department to schedule a maintenance appointment. Running or Not-Running? Should you leave your hot tub running or turning it off?

2. You don’t want to have the water freeze as this could end up damaging your spa and potentially costing a lot in repair fees.
3. Check on your hot tub frequently, circulate the pumps and clean your filters.
4. Just remember, although there isn’t a single magical solution to making your hot tub heat up faster, there are many little things you can do to increase your spa’s efficiency.

Is it OK to sit on a hot tub cover?

Your spa or hot tub cover fights the weather all year long and keeping it clean and in condition will make it last, look and perform better and longer. Sun, rain and snow all pull out the resins that keep vinyl insulated hot tub covers soft and pliable.

Over time, spa covers that are not cleaned and protected become brittle, develop thin spots and start to rip and tear. The Cover Care Tips below will help keep your cover looking and working great for years to come. • Keep the Cover Clean – The exterior vinyl needs to stay clean and conditioned. Use a mild detergent and water solution to clean the vinyl portion of the cover at least twice per month.

• Use a Moisturizing Product – Use a moisturizing and cover conditioning product, such as Cover Care & Conditioner, at least once every two months. Don’t use any products with silicone in them. These types of products can destroy the vinyl’s topcoat, allowing the plasticized gases to escape.

• Once this happens, the vinyl will be susceptible to cracking.
• Wipe Off Chemical Residue – Clean chemical residue from the underside of the cover every chance you get.
• These residues, if left on the cover, start to break down the material causing it to become porous.
• Water vapor begins to penetrate the EPS core when its protective layers become too porous.

• Maintain Proper Hot Tub Water Chemistry – We cannot stress the importance of maintaining proper hot tub and spa water chemistry enough. As your spa water chemistry is more balanced, the vapors coming off the tub are less corrosive. Making the vapors less corrosive leads to the protective layers of the cover to degrade more slowly, thus prolonging the life of your cover.

• Unzip Cover & Clean – Clean just inside the zipper at least twice per year. Mildew has a tendency to build up here and if you have not kept your sanitizer levels up you may develop this as a problem. • Remove Cover for 20-30 minutes After Shocking – As the shock is burning out the Chloramines and Bromimines in your hot tub or spa, highly corrosive vapors are released.

Removing the cover after shocking will protect your covers materials from premature degradation. • Never Stand, Sit or Walk on Your Cover – Most covers are designed to insulate from heat loss and to keep debris and dirt out of the tub. You cannot walk on a standard spa cover.

Should I cover my hot tub every night?
