I stopped early on Friday afternoon so as to set up the hot tub in the nice weather and daylight! Added a new patio slab and then got to work on unpacking it all and setting it up.
It was fairly straight-forward and I was really pleased with the result of getting it up and running and the heater on and the chemicals into it!
It looks brilliant where we have set it up so I hope it will be a success.
Early night and hopefully we’ll get the chance to use it over the weekend
Update on Saturday!
It was freezing overnight and I was concerned it would all be frozen but of course it was running at about 37 degrees so was nice and warm. We left it the day until lunchtime when Tash got impatient so we both tested it out – it was great!
Jack and Noah tried it later which annoyed Charlotte as she’d planned a hot tub relax with Miles
Instead we waited until after dinner and in the dark the four of us got in and it was great. Quite a lot to drink but sensible etc – it soon cooled down but we had the jets on for 90 minutes! Probably not ideal use but there you go. Charlotte had bought us a light and it worked a treat.
Sunday it was just me and Tash so we used it around 5.00pm and didn’t have the jets on, just relaxed in the warmth and listened to the birds etc – it was more relaxing and peaceful to not have the jets on. I had added a towel and dressing down hooks panel and also added a shelf to the wall to make holding drinks and food easier and more reachable.
I was a bit frustrated that the top deflated but we’ll keep an eye on that but all told it’s been a really good purchase.
Lewis has said he’s ordered a drinks holder so that will be a welcome addition.
