Arebos Inflatable Hot Tub (Oval, 190cm x 120cm)

How long does it take to heat the water to maximum temperature?

The heating system raises water temperature by 1-2 degrees Celsius per hour. Starting from typical mains water temperature of around 15°C, reaching the maximum 40°C takes approximately 12-25 hours depending on ambient conditions. The insulated cover significantly reduces heating time by preventing heat loss during the warming process.

What is the actual usable space inside the tub?

The internal dimensions measure 150cm length by 80cm width by 65cm height. This provides comfortable seating for two adults without feeling cramped. The oval shape maximises legroom whilst the 65cm depth allows full shoulder immersion when seated properly.

How much does it cost to run the heating and filtration systems?

The total power consumption is 2400W when heating and filtering simultaneously. At average UK electricity rates of 30p per kWh, continuous operation costs approximately 72p per hour. Most users heat the tub for 2-3 hours before use then maintain temperature, reducing actual running costs significantly.

Can the tub be left inflated permanently outdoors?

Yes, the puncture-resistant PVC laminate construction withstands year-round outdoor exposure. The included insulated cover protects against UV damage and debris. However, draining and deflating during extended non-use periods prolongs material life and prevents freeze damage in winter months.

How often do the filter cartridges need replacing?

Filter cartridge lifespan depends on usage frequency and water quality. Typically, cartridges require replacement every 2-4 weeks with regular use. The built-in filter alarm indicates when cleaning or replacement is necessary. Spare cartridges are available separately from the manufacturer.

What maintenance is required to keep the tub in good condition?

Regular water testing and chemical balancing maintains hygiene standards. The filter system requires weekly cleaning and periodic cartridge replacement. After each use, the tub should be covered to prevent debris accumulation. Monthly deep cleaning with appropriate spa chemicals removes biofilm buildup.

Is the tub suitable for use in winter conditions?

The heating system maintains 40°C water temperature even in cold weather, though heating times increase. The insulated cover prevents heat loss when not in use. However, the control panel and pump should be protected from freezing temperatures. Some users install temporary shelters for winter operation.

What happens if the tub gets punctured?

The package includes repair patches for addressing small punctures immediately. Clean and dry the damaged area, apply the patch following manufacturer instructions and allow proper curing time. For larger damage, professional repair or replacement may be necessary. The PVC laminate construction resists most common puncture causes.
