Backyard Makeover with Relxtime Inflatable Hot Tub

Looking to elevate your summer experience with a budget friendly backyard makeover? Or perhaps you do a lot of camping or RV travel and are looking for a great portable spa. Either way, I got you!!! I was sent this 4-6 person Relxtime inflatable hot tub to review and it is, in a word, AMAZING, I'll go on a limb and say the best 2024 inflatable hot tub! But you don't have to take my word for it - watch my detailed video below to see how easy it is to unbox, inflate, fill, heat up, and enjoy the BEST inflatable hot tub!! More details and links below about this portable jacuzzi and other ways to elevate your backyard this summer!

​Why we're loving this inflatable hot tub from Relxtime:

• hot water and bubbles, nuff said!! so relaxing (without the kids anyway, and with the kids, well, they have SO much fun in there!!)
• it self-inflates (in a minute or two), no need to buy or bring your own inflator!
• it's portable! when empty, you can easily move it to a new spot in your yard, or deflate and pack up to bring camping!
• it's the perfect size - small enough to not take up too much space on a small deck or backyard, but big enough to easily fit 4 adults (more if you're ok getting cozy in there LOL)
• it's easy to keep clean - coming with a cover (and single air bladder), 2 filters, and water test strips (you need to buy the chemicals though). When the tub isn't in use, replacing the included cover with a thicker, more insulated hot tub cover can help retain heat more effectively and reduce the energy needed to bring the water back up to temperature.
• it's comfortable - because the back is not hard, it's so much more comfortable than a hard hot tub!
• it has a hose hookup for draining away from your house and flexibility to divert water to different areas - this was essential for me, we've dealt with kiddy pools that flooded our yard, having control over where the water goes and how quickly is so important!

OTHER PRODUCTS YOU MAY NEED OR WANT:

• Garden Hose - to fill up and drain the hot tub
• Chlorine / PH Increaser / PH Decreaser and other Inflatable Hot Tub / Spa chemicals (necessary to keep dangerous bacteria in check if you plan to use the water for more than 2 or 3 days; user manual says not to use salt as it can clog the filters, and I've been reading you need to maintain a pH balance of 7.2-7.6 and alkalinity of 125-150 for vinyl spas.
• Extension cord:  the hot tub instructions say not to use an extension cord, but if you're using the tub on grass like we are, the 11' long cord it comes with may not be long enough... if you do get an extension cord, make sure it's for outdoor use, is waterproof, and that it can handle the wattage. After much research, I ended up buying this 1875w 25' outdoor waterproof extension cord and so far so good!
• Hot Tub Mat (make sure your deck can support the 2,000lbs or so the tub will weigh when filled with water, otherwise, on the grass may be a better idea)
• Solar Powered Floating Pool Lights​​​
