- A few pointers and tips about the square version of an intex tub. “94” inches in length. That’s corner to corner. Otherwise it’s closer to 70in L x W. The cover is 2 layers thick which maybe good for insulation but hard and awkward to handle in my opinion. Get pool grade SALT! Needs it for the chlorine system it has!!! I put in a table spoon in every other day.
It looks like the industry measures it like a TV. That's bull. Especially when you fork out the extra bucks for a "94" inch one and you expect to get one that is 94" outside dia. side to side, not corner to corner. I Can't believe NO ONE else has mentioned this in their descriptions on their RUclips videos. Thank You.
Do you still use today? Wondering about its durability.
I wish that I would have seen your video before I filled up and measured. I was expecting 74 length 74 width interior since that is how it is listed. Kind of disappointing.
What is left to right outer dimensions? I know 95x95 is diagonal measurements for a 6 person soa😊
I do not understand how the cover works- if you know can you please help?
If it’s anything like the one in my video, there’s two parts, the inflatable pool toy square portion. And the actual cover itself do not inflate the cover. Although it does have a nipple open it, so air goes inside, but it does not need to be pumped up.
@@MA-gq7bl you have to muscle that cover off and on every time you use the hot tub? I inflated it, is is designed to keep the air fill caps open?
Only the inflatable with handles needs actual air. The massive cover needs a few hours to expand a tiny bit so open the nipple. But do not actually inflate the large cover with any sort of pump.
Hard to get the saltwater levels correct consistently throwing an E error code
Yup. I understand. I just keep adding a spoonful everyday. More is better then less as far as the code is concerned.
how is it now?
It’s been down for the last few months. Been raining a lot. But I plan on setting it up soon. Love adding salt to the water. Keeps the maintenance very easy.
what do you use to sanitize the saltwater?
We add pool salt and I believe the sanitization cycle then turns the salt into chlorine.
What’s the white thing
They call it a bladder. It sits on the top of the water, under the cover, to help keep the heat in and helps prevent large pools of water from settling on top when it rains.
Yes that’s what I heard I got tricked too
glad to see the square one. I had the same difficulty with the cover very hard to manipulate I even tried to blow it up, but realized that made it more difficult to use and the straps do not connect to the tub but wrap around it
Yup exactly
Wow, any advice with the cover?
@@justinmccoy4317 My advice Dont blow it up it seems, from my experience the places that I used to blow up the spa cover are there to release the air that expands in it when the spa is hot or after the spa has been covered in the sun. Use the two openings to release built up are in the spa cover.
Just found this having the same problem thought I had the wrong cover in the box since it won’t buckle
Have you tried the top cover just partially inflated ? Minimal air in the bottom part that goes around the sides. Top/middle part somewhat puffy.
whats the actual dimensions?....is it not 94 outside to outside straight across???...you confused me talking about the measurements...I only have about 92" on the patio where i plan on putting a hot tub
I can't see how the cover works. I guess the white thing they call the bladder floats on top of the water. That crazy cover doesn't line up at all with the buckles on the pool. I can probably get away with using it in the summer with the bladder only.
Jeff - see my reply about our experience with our cover.
can u show a video with entire set up, Haig trouble with the blower
Was your Hot tub the saltwater verison? Ours is 28451EP and is supposed to be saltwater system and hardware treatment system and we cannot get it to read free chlorine on the strips and wonder if anyone else has had this issue?
Jennifer see my reply above for our experience.
We actually reached out to Intex yesterday about the problems we are having with getting our free chlorine levels correct. We started out be adding the amount of salt that they had recommended in the manual when we started it up. I have gotten all the other levels good now but nothing registers for Free Chlorine. Intex was absolutely no help! I gave them the model numbers of what we purchased and they informed me that Intex does not make a hot tub that you can add salt to!!!! I told her my entire manual explains how this tub is saltwater and the box it was shipped in says saltwater system on it!! But she insisted that Intex does not make a saltwater hot tub!!! So they were NO help what so ever!! Also I was told that the Representative’s supervisor was fuming because she was talking to me for over a half hour and there was nothing Intex would do for me because they do not make what I am telling her we bought!!! But yet I can go on multiple websites and find this hot tub!!
Question: do u leave the filtration system running all the time? On hourly durations?? And heating also? Run all the time heat or do u use the timer?
I just have it on heat all the time. Haven’t seen a big spike in my electric bill so that’s good. Haven’t tried the timing features. Been working fine so far.
Did you ever try setting up the wifi? I just got mine in the mail and it says hold the C/F wifi button for 5 seconds and the wifi light will start blinking but when I do it nothing happens. Wondering if mine is defective
Kind of silly but I currently don’t have Wi-Fi because it’s had to get a provider in my area. Wish I could help.
@@MA-gq7bl no worries- your supposed to push the Celsius Fahrenheit button for 5 seconds and the Wi-Fi logo on the top is supposed to blink- mine didnt
Make sure your display isn’t locked - If the lock symbol is green, it’s locked. The blue WiFi light blinks very slowly once on. If you have the Intex app, you should see your tub’s signal easily after you hold the WiFi button down long enough for the blue light to come on. Hard part is connecting to the same 2G WiFi network as your phone - if you have 5G signal also, it will interfere. Owners manual describes quite well how to deal with first-time WiFi set up and has “trouble-shooting” for it also.
@@gdizzle12 Mine also does not blink- I can change from C to F but no matter how long I hold it I cant get the wifi to go into pairing mode
We’ve had this same spa for about 2 weeks. We had to add a lot of pool salt (and run the 3 hr sanitization cycle each time, and rinse out the intake filter) to get our chlorine levels to test ok with the strips. Regarding the “insulative cover” for the top, we mostly inflated the center part but not fully (still soft), and very minimally inflated the bottom/sides part, and after it relaxed for a week, it’s now quite easy to take on and off. I do wish it worked with the clips on the sides of the tub itself, because they claim it’s “secure” and safe for children, but yet they no longer have clips or a key for it. And our cover came with no instructions. The instructions in our owners manual are clearly for an older version of the top cover.
Where did you add the salt to?
I have the same exact spa but I can't find anything about the salt sistem. It says that I have to add 2,5 kg of salt in the water but I don't know how much salt needs for 1 month. I don't know where, how when, and how much salt to add. If you can explain it to me I would be so thankfull. Also If you guys have some links
@@Katiama193you figure it out
@@altaice3960 I just putted chlorine tabs instead of salt and worked great and better. I didn’t used the salt/chlorine button. Water was more clear and didn’t have to worry about measuring, dissolving and transforming the salt. Just be careful because sometimes the fumes of the chlorine are too much so open it before using it
Hi M A.. Hada quick question. you said 94 "corner to corner" and pointed in sort of a diagonal across the top of the tub. Can you tell me what the outside/footprint dimensions are from front to back and end to end? Actual length and width on the outside of the tub..for ex. if you were measuring the outside of a cardboard box. How long is it and how wide is it? Greta video BTW! Thanks, Mark
Let me check. I actually haven’t measured the typical L x W like a box.
@@MA-gq7bl Thank you...
@@markhydrick4447 Looks to be about 6 ft x 6 ft roughly
Chiming in.. how deep, or tall is this? The measurements show 28” tall, seems really short. Is it in your opinion?
@@nicolepettinato It is 28” deep. That’s pretty standard for inflatable spas. We’ve owned four (three round ones, now this model) and this is the largest we’ve found in the states. The 28” depth works well for both myself (5’4”) and my husband (6’). We have no complaints on the size. Just wish they made a replacement cover that clipped on like the first three inflatable spas we owned came with. The “energy-efficient cover” is cumbersome, at best.
If I am reading it correctly salt is already added to the system. Is this correct?
You will need pool quality salt for this tub. I put in a a spoonful every time I use it. Seems to be working ok. It’s a hard thing to measure the salt level.
How much do you add initially? Same tablespoon or a large amount? Depend on water?
@@heidis5363it says you have to add 2,5 kg (for the 6 person one) the first time
Does anyone have a list of what you need to purchase to set up and maintain a salt spa
I use pool salt for this unit. Add a large spoonful every 2 days or so. The spa will alarm if it’s too low and shut off.
@@MA-gq7bl so just salt and nothing else?
@@BryantAvant So the salt helps keep the maintenance down but you’ll need all the chemicals like any hot tub would require. Bromine, ph + and -, etc. And test strips to check the levels.
@@BryantAvant cleaning brush cheap dollar tree one and keep an eye on replacement filters rinse them out and rotate them
