Intex PureSpa Greywood Deluxe (4 person)

- I recently purchased the Intex Greywood Deluxe hot tub. Its winter here in Boston and I've been using it with no issues. I purchased it from Walmart for $349.00 but I've seen the price go up and down several times in a relatively short time frame. So keep an eye on it for the best price. Its also available on Amazon if you prefer to purchase thru them. One thing I forgot to mention during the video is that it also comes with a cool light that screws on to the inside of the tub and it does a great job at lighting up the water with a cool ambient vibe at night.

We’ve had that same model 4 person we love it it threw a few E90 codes when it does that it’s time to change out the filter, but we love ours .
Great video! Thanks for the info. Smith Mountain Lake
I ordered a hot tub over $7000 from sams club never delivered then amazon $5600 and order canceled 2 months later so I am getting one of these ordered it today from wal-mart i had the green intex hot tub but my daughters cat put a hole in it i patched it but it just kept getting bigger so we had to throw it out i can't wait says they will deliver it monday i just know we are going to love it is seems better than the one we had i think ours was like 399 this one was 699 on sale said it was 1399 im so excited thanks for sharing!
I got mine on a great sale. I only paid $349 for it.. and that was including delivery. I've had it since early February and its been working great. I haven't done a water change since I got it.. and the water still seems pretty clear.. but I'm gonna do a water change soon just for the sake of doing it. Good luck with yours. I've really enjoyed mine.
Hello! Do you happen to have a video (or know of a video) that details the set up of the hot tub itself?
Hi. Sorry, I don't. But it was pretty easy following the directions.
I have the same spa and i have a problem
After inflating it for like 2min i close the valve but the air continues to come out, i have a problem with the valve or i have to leave it inflating more? Im afraid it will explode
Thank you for sharing God bless you always
I just got my Intex spa, followed the instructions to set it up... filled it with water and now I have a slow leak coming from what seems to be underneath... and suggestions as to what could be the problem?
Water leak or air leak? I have no idea.. but perhaps the drain plug on the inside floor surface is not tight?
Hi once the spa is at temperature can you turn the filter off or does the filter need to run continuously?
When i turn the flame off when at temperature it drops!!!
I believe you can turn the filter off by itself... But if you turn the flame off.. it'll also turn the filter off. But I'd recommend keeping the filter running.. its necessary to keep the water clean and filtered.
How long have you had it? does it really fit 4 people? and how much time does it take you to get the water hot? greetings
I got it in mid-February 2020. Its been running great with no issues. I initially filled it about half way with hot water because it was cold and I wanted to speed up the process of heating it. It took about 2 days to get up to temp. I did drain and clean it in August and filled it with cold water and it reached temps over night in warmer ambient temps. Hope this helps.
Hi ... my Greywood Intex hot tub is leaking from the drain valve with little water. Is this normal or an issue? I tried opening the drain hole from inside the tub and reclosing it just to make sure it is secure. However, the outside drain valve always has water in it.
Hi. I haven't run into that problem. Sorry. I suspect its not normal, but maybe try calling Intex support and asking? I've had mine for 11 months now and its worked flawlessly.
Hey great review. Would you recommend this spa for also by children to be used? (3 and 6 years old) .. Or will it be damaged you think?
rubensosatuub hi. Our son will be 3 next month. My wife took him in it a few times. I wouldn’t recommend they go in alone but it’s fine with an adult accompanying. I would recommend turning down the temp tho. 104 is way too hot for young children. My wife sets it around 98 when our son goes in with her. Lastly, be sure to bath or shower the kids after to rinse any chemicals off. Hope this helps.
@@randomstuffwithjoe thank you for your elaborate opinion. Appreciate it very much.
Welcome to my spar, ked! Haha, JK. Thanks for the review! - from Middlesex County
Hey joe do you think you could add boiling water to this to make it hotter than 104 without damaging the material? I also live in a cold area but would like to add boiling water to give it a little razzle dazzle lol
I wouldn’t dump boiling water into an empty tub. I have on occasion added some very hot tap water into an already full tub to top it off.
Have you had trouble getting it to heat up in the winter? It hasn't managed to heat past 97 and the temp outside is around 40.
I haven't typically had issues holding temps. But for some odd reason, last night it didn't. Its holding at 99 all night. But we had 10" of snow last night and some of it fell on the tub and melted.. and cold water pooled up on the cover. I'm gonna clear it off today and see how it does. Also, I need to put some air in the tub and cover. Its a little under inflated - due to the cold. I'm sure that has something to do with it too.
Just a heads up. They make a insulated cover for it that covers the entire hot tub. I was going to buy it last year, but found I didn't need it at the time.
I have a question because of the bubbles. We bought the whirlpool and filled it with water yesterday and tried out the bubbles right after and they weren’t really intense. Do you need to get the pool on a specific temperature first so the bubblebath works?
The bubbles work at the same intensity regardless of the temperature.
@@randomstuffwithjoe Oh, well :/ Thanks for your quick answering, I guess something‘s wrong with our pool then
Can you put chlorine tablets in the floating ball? And what exactly are the filters called that you need to replace every 2 weeks or so. (As mentioned in the video)
Hi. Yes, Chlorine tabs are ok too. I only chose Bromine because it doesn't have the strong odor that Chlorine has. I think Chlorine would require less frequent shock chemicals tho. So its a trade off. As for the filters... I think every two weeks is a bit over kill. I had to change my initial filters after the first two weeks.. but I suspect it was only because it was filtering the water for the first time. I've only had to change them every 5-6 weeks since the original filters. They can be found on Amazon. they're about $7 for a two pack.. or you can buy in bulk (12 packs) for a discount. Thx for watching.
I had my same filter for years just wash them
@@keshajohnson4403 My original filter was super dirty and stained after a week. I think it was just the filtering of our tap water for the first time. But my filters have been fairly clean every since changing them for the first time. Even at 5-6 weeks.. they still look ok as long as you rinse them at least once per week. But I've read several reviews that recommend changing them every 4-6 weeks. They're so inexpensive.. that I just do it to avoid any potential issues.
I need help. Just got the spa. Used 1 time. But the control panel seems dead. Please, any ideas???
Sorry, mine worked right out of the box. Are you trying to use it while its on the charger or wirelessly? It may need time on the charger. Also, you may want to try reseting the GFI outlet? Otherwise, I have no other suggestions, sorry.
I ordered this spa last week. I had an electrician install a gfi outlet for it. i went o blow up the spa and the unit started flashing and went off. It tripped the cord gfi. I then contacted the company they sent me another unit, same thing happened to that unit. contact them again and they sent a 3rd one. I can't believe this.My electrician is telling me that it is the unit again. Is it possible that both of the units are bad?
I doubt its your unit. My guess is the electrician put your outlet on a circuit that's already pulling too much juice or maybe its not grounded properly. Try running an extension cord from another outlet in the house and power it up. Also, the tub's power cord is GFI.. and has a reset switch. Did you try resetting it? Sounds like your electrician did something wrong to me.
The motor sounds loud like a vacuum cleaner. It's for outside and we have many neighbours. How loud is it, especially late at night. Is it easily heard?
I think the video is deceiving. It’s not very loud. Unless your neighbors are closer than 10’ from the tub.. I doubt it would be audible to them. The sound of the water bubbling is more noticeable than the actual blower motor. We have a bedroom window right next to the tub and from inside the bedroom you can’t hear it at all.
does this unit come in 1 box or 2 separate boxes please?
One box. A fairly large one.
How many filter does the pool use to clean water?
Is there 2 like the other intex models or just 1 like lay z spa?
Thanks
daniele Humphrey 2 filters
Joe Scopa thank you!
Apart from the color is there much different from the other model plain color
Just got same model but 6 person, and only has one filter mine! Strange
One filter on bottom al light goes at the top
@@danielehumphrey5847 I have the 4 person. Perhaps the filter for the 6 person is larger? Is it an S1 filter? or something different? I'm curious. Enjoy it. I've really enjoyed mine. :)
Joe Scopa Hi the hot tub is great!
I found out models in Europe only have the one filter! I know it’s strange but they only have one S1 filter!
Maybe U.S. has different law on swimming pools don’t know. Anyway the spa is great
Hi i have a question about the filter function. I just got it set up and I dont know how to make sure the filter is set to run daily
When you power it on.. just turn on the heater. The filter turns on with the heater. You only need to set the filter separately if you are running the filters but not the heater.
@@randomstuffwithjoe thanks but I am using it just to filter. I live in vegas lol. I dont need to heat it!
@@michellehyla4145 Yes. I've been doing it that way with the hot weather too. Using it more as a pool than a hot tub. So I just turn the heat temp down to about 89-92 degrees.. and it keeps the water at a nice comfortable temp. The filter will stay on. If you're completely turning off the heater.. than you'll need to set the filters on separately. I haven't had to do it that way.. but it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.
@@randomstuffwithjoe it wasn't but im unsure if it has to be done daily or it will do it automatically
@@michellehyla4145 I think I read somewhere that it shuts off after 48 hours of non-use. I could be wrong.. but I think its in the manual somewhere. Mine has been running flawlessly for 6 months. I just leave the heater on and the filter stays on with it. I just turn the temp down to 94 degrees now that its warmer weather. That temp seems to be the perfect temp for my area.
Just got the same model second hand but I cannot recharge the battery of the remote and the instructions are not clear enough on how it is connected to the body of the spa… any ideas? Since the remote has no battery, I cannot inflate the body and the whole thing is a little bit of a fiasco… help, please!
My remote no longer holds a charge for wireless use, but still works fine by simply leaving it on the cradle on the heater unit. It just sits in the cradle. That would be my suggestion.. just put it on the cradle and use it that way.
Thanks so much! You are the best!!
Keep you the heater on for 24 hours or is it turn off?
Yes, it stays on. Once it reaches the set temp.. it turns off on its own and will start back up again when the temp drops below the set temp.
Can it be installed inside a manufacturered home.
I personally wouldn't put one inside a home for fear that if it ever got a water leak.. it would cause damage. But that's a personal decision I guess. Mine is on my back deck.. just outside my back door.
Does running this constantly cost a lot more on your electricity bill?
Maybe $8-10 per month during the winter. Summer I barely notice it.
Is there anyway I could get the heat set higher than 104?
No. 104 is the max.
You also don't want it hotter than that. I'm not sure of any hot tub getting much hotter than 104, vinyl or hard shell.
I've got the same tub and can hardly stand 104 for 10 minutes, I am glad to see the temp drop a few lol
Also just hit the end of this video mid comment, and you definitely did help me when I was looking to purchase. We've had it set up for almost 2 weeks. Love it!
When u run it at 104 daily, what was your power bill like if you don't mind me asking?
do you leave it on 24/7?
Yes. I suppose you can turn it off as long as the outside temps are warm enough that it doesn't freeze.. but i'm not sure how that would effect the water filtering etc. I just recently started turning down the temp now that its warming up outside. During the winter I kept it set to 104 all the time. I'm now setting it to about 100-101 and if I want it more hot.. I'll turn it up an hour or two before I use it. Hope this helps.
Happy I found this video. I also live in Boston area and looking to grab this tub. Could I have your email so I can ask you a few questions? Also see you are using an extension cord which I would need to use. Don't have an outlet super close. I appreciate it!
Is there a way to private message on RUclips? I don't mind sending you my email, but I'd rather not put it in a public comment. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have tho. -Joe
Are these bubbles or real type of jets ? And how many are in one of these ? Thank you for your time
@@victordille2654 They're bubbles. I'm not 100% sure.. but I believe its 170. They're not jets tho. But I find it very relaxing. The bubbles are pretty strong considering they're just air bubbles.
I see you have the filters placed one above the other. On some other videos I see people placing them apart where it is marked C inside the spa. Not sure of proper placement. Please help.
Hi. Several people have mentioned this to me. I have since changed the location. I have them both on the C marked lower connections. I didn't notice much of a difference either way tho. Cheers.
@@randomstuffwithjoe Did you leave the top one open? (near the pump side) My husband said the light goes there but I THOUGHT I FELT HEAT COMING FROM THERE. DOES THAT JUST REMAIN OPEN?
does this spa have heated bubbels like the 6 person intex spa or ?
Same bubbles. Bubbles are not really heated tho. They are just air bubbles. But yes.. same as the 6 person intex spa.
What chemical tablets are you using please?
I've been using bromine tablets. The dispenser that comes with the hot tub is very small and only fits 1" tablets.. so be sure not to get larger ones. I've been using "Spa Selections" brand tablets. They're pretty inexpensive. I think it was around $15 for a bottle of tablets.. and I've had the hot tub since February and I'm still on the first bottle.
@@randomstuffwithjoe thanks :)
Hi random stuf, i wanne buy this greywood deluxe 4 person here in the netherlands, but i realy wanne now when the water is warming up if the motor is quiet? In the evening when the Day sounds are gone is the motor still quiet?
Thank you
It’s very quiet. You can’t even hear it. The only time it’s sort of loud is when you have the jets/bubbles running.
@@randomstuffwithjoe thank you for youre fast answer. I heart it more that it was quiet. With bubbels i understand that the sound is load. Tommorow i am gonne buy it here in the netherland in a shop.
@@marcelwillemse8299 You'll love it. I had mine for about 2 years. Unfortunately, we recently moved and couldn't take it with us, so I sold it. But I can't say enough great things about it. Enjoy.. :)
@@randomstuffwithjoe thank you
We're in Alaska, the 6 person version is 1400, think it's worth it?
I only paid $350 for the 4 person (I caught a sale). I definitely would not have paid that much. Is it worth it? Its definitely a great hot tub.. but I can't say I'd pay $1400 for it. Why so much? Is it the shipping?
@@randomstuffwithjoe no, through both Walmart and Amazon the only way to get it is through a third party vendor and that's just what they charge for it. The 4 person is 1100. I remember looking at it when living in North Carolina and they were around 500-800 depending on size and features... Pretty much every has to be Imported so the vendors can hold higher prices over everyone.
@@Macky4941 I'd definitely pay $500-800.. but $1100 is just a bit too much in my opinion. I guess it just depends on whether or not you can afford to spend that much. But its a very nice hot tub.. and I'm very happy with it. I was lucky to catch it on a sale and only paid $350 with free shipping.
hi, is this the 4 person model?
you answered my question in the video. :)
@@maureenbuck2736 ha. Yes, its the 4 person. I wasn't comfortable that the 6 person would fit in the location I wanted to put it.. so I opted for the 4 person. I find it to be plenty roomy for my wife and I. A 3rd person would probably be ok too.. but 4 would be too cramped for my taste. If you intend to have more than 3 people in it at the same time.. I'd suggest getting the 6 person. I've been enjoying it very much tho. I've used it nearly every night since I got it.
Does this one have wifi integrated
Not that I’m aware of…
There’s three filter holes but only 2 filters
How has it held up over the past year?
Hi. It’s been holding up great. I used it last night. I live in a fairly cold area during winter months and I’ve left it up all year. It struggles to stay above 100 degrees on days/night where the outside temps drop below 25 degrees or so. But it recovers back to 104 on days above 30.
How cold are your winters. I live in Canada it can get pretty darn cold in the negatives.@@randomstuffwithjoe
Thanks for putting this up! The guys in the shop told me I should use oyxgen as a sterilizer and not chlorine, has anyone else heard about that? I have read in the actual instructions that it is ok to use chlorine so I am not sure why they said that...
Chlorine is fine. I use bromine tablets instead.. mostly because it doesn’t have a strong smell like chlorine does.
@@randomstuffwithjoe thanks!
price?
I caught it during a sale and paid $349 with shipping included at Walmart. I've since seen the price go up several times and last I checked it was around $600.
Canada or USA?
There’s 3 filter holes but only 2 filters
One is for the light that screws on to illuminate the water at night.
How to fix the heater when it's stop
I've never had a problem so I'm not sure what you mean. I'd suggest calling their customer support if you're having a problem. Sorry I couldn't help.

IN your video you have your filters set up wrong .. the filters go on the to bottoms ports ... one of yours set up on the exit port .. your gonna have problems..
Someone else made this same comment a couple of months ago and I've since corrected it. Thx.
Hi Mitch, I have a question. So the other filter connection labeled C, does not have any water flow through it, does it really function as a filter? I know that others have said that it does not get nearly as dirty ( obviously because it's not passing water through it like the other one below the exit port. Also, the light also has the abilty to screw on to the port. There is nothing in the book or online that I can find. I was wondering if the light is supposed to be screwed onto the port that has no water flow and the 2nd filter is just a spare so you can alternate ? Just looking for some guidance as it's not in the manual. Thanks!
@@brad9401 you screw the light to the outlet port ... it has threads as well ....
as far as the c filter yes it gets less dirty but it does work . What i usually do is when the main filter gets real dirty i swap them ...
En français svp
