- For Christmas, we bought ourselves the Saluspa Hawaii Hydrojet 4-6 person Hot Tub ( amzn.to/45W9Vvu )
We put the hot tub spa in our garage so it wouldn’t have to combat the bitter cold NJ winter and also for the added privacy. So far we have been in it pretty much every day since we got it and have been loving it.
I go through the steps of preparing for the hot tub in an indoor space.
1. Laying down Foam Insulated Mats: amzn.to/3svXWqG
2. Laying Down Waterproof Painters Tarp: amzn.to/3niyKOS
Then the steps to prepare hot tub:
1. Remove contents and allow hot tub to expand
2. Inflate hot tub with provided pump/heater unit
3. Connect hot tub to pump/heater
4. Connect Filter Housing in hot tub
5. Fill Hot Tub to Minimum Fill Line
6. Turn Heater On.
7. Inflate Hot Tub Cover and strap over hot tub
8. Wait ~24 hours for initial heating
9. Uncover and Enjoy with Bubbles!
Maintenance Kit:

- Bromine 1" Tabs: amzn.to/3r1aUYU
- Skimmer: amzn.to/33dtO6O

I love this channel you are like my spirit guide 5 years in the future 😁 I want a garage full of kids bikes mounted on the walls, an easy to move hot tub, kotatsu table, and ridiculous minivan ebike!
Awesome, thanks for the comment. Glad the channel can inspire.
nice, thanks for the instruction!
We've just ordered one today. Anxious for the delivery. Great video
Hope you enjoy it!
Awesome! I might do it
Go for it!
heck yes
Cool project. I might do this. 👍
Yea relatively cheap and a lot of fun!
There are paints for bathrooms that would help wth the moisture
Is it ok to leave it on? So it won't takes awhile to heat it up n conserved electric? Regards ana fr Australia
Great video, just ordered the same model. Was curious if you know the length of the power cord?
About 8 feet.
I've looked at some Hawaii Saluspa's and apparently they're not all bubbles and jets? I'd really like both like you have. Is there anyway you can help, like with your model number or something? Thank you for your time!
great video. how's the mold and mildew situation going after a year? Are you still loving the hottub?
Yea no issues in the garage although we moved it outside in the summer. Yea we defiantly are happy we bought it. Allows us to extend our pool season with a warm place to retreat too.
With the top on tub it doesnt do alot of moister put off like you would think
Great video. Two questions please. What are these plastic sheets called? Also how do you empty the tub? Thanks 🙏
There is a hose attachment at the bottom you can screw a regular garden hose to and drain it to the street.
The sheets are just some painters tarp.
Hi .thanks for video. Any problems after a year of use . Any advice to prevent problems. Thanks
We are in Japan right now for a year. So put it away before we moved. But it was working fine, no issues. Just the proper maintenance that I mentioned in the video.
Thanks for the video. However, I’ve been looking all over and my two only questions are:
are you supposed to leave the heat set to a certain degree while not in use for quicker heat up? Also. How much more did your electric bill increase? I am guessing inflatables are not as. Insulated as foam ones?
Yea not as insulated... but electric bill wasnt too significantly increased, although i dont pay attention to it too carefully.
Yea although it takes a long time for the water to heat-up, like if its 50 degrees, it could take 6 hours before its back at 100 degrees. So we kept it hot most times, and only at a safe 50 degrees when we knew we werent goign to use it for a week or so.
Just to be clear, do you leave your garage door open for ventilation just well your using the hot tub? or you leave the door open 24/7?
No not 24/7, there is no humidity when it is sealed with the cover. We only left the door open, when we were actively in the tub.
What floor pads did you buy? I like the size of those.
I think they were foam pads from Costco
Heyy I'm about to put one in a 3 room tent.. my question for you is.. How do you change the water
So we’ve only done it once in the 3 months we’ve owned it. But there is an outlet plug at the very bottom that you just open up and the whole thing drains. You can connect a hose to it to direct the discharging water. We connected the hose so it emptied out from our garage right into the street drains.
Great video! Do you think it is ok to put it in the garage long term without causing any mold or wall damage? Does it produce a lot of moisture in the air?
We do leave the garage door into the house open to help with moisture. With the cover on I don’t think it’s a problem at all. But when it’s on bubble mode it doesn’t produce a decent amount of moisture.
I was a bit worried my bike chains would start to rust, but doesn’t seem to be an issue, and there is some glass on the speedometer of my road bike and if the door is open that won’t fog with moisture so I feel likes it’s okay.
@@Famvestor Ok thanks so much for your reply! I will try it in my garage too then! God bless you!
Hey looking at buying this model but need to know how many amps it is ?
Idk uses a standard socket
Is your garage heated? We use a dehumudifier and crack the garage when using bubbles...
Nope not heated... and yes we leave the door open when using the bubbles feature.
During inflation, do you have to manually stop the pump or is it designed to stop to prevent over inflation?
It’s designed to never over inflate, but doesn’t stop inflating on its own, it just lets the extra pressure out on its own while it’s pumping.
Are the Jets strong enough to make your back itchy?
Yes after a while. But not as strong as a regular tub.
I just got one- do you have to do add any chemicals at the beginning ?
Yes there should be bromine or chlorine and balanced similar to a pool.
How's the jets? Actually useful or really weak?
On the weaker side, but not terrible either. I’d say useful.
Do you notice any chemical smells through out the garage or house?
I don’t the cover seals it well. I do notice the smell one it’s open but it dissipates quickly and doesn’t linger. I am using bromine though and I think I general it doesn’t smell as much as chlorine.
Where do you drain it out to?
the street, there is a hose attachment.
Is this the saluspa hawaii? The link says lay z spa sna frisisco
Or really yes this is Hawaii. I’ll have to update it.
@@Famvestor thank you!
So they just all in there naked with the kid practicing snorkeling? Interesting
Why?! 🫣
Cause it was winter, and why not!?
