Ryuhic Inflatable Hot Tub (Oval, 2 Person, 190cm x 120cm x 63cm)

How long does it take to heat the water to a comfortable temperature?

The 1350W heater raises water temperature by 1-2°C per hour depending on ambient conditions and starting temperature. From typical tap water at 15°C, expect 12-15 hours to reach 40°C maximum temperature. The insulated cover significantly reduces heating time by preventing heat loss. For faster results, start with warmer water or heat during warmer daytime temperatures when possible.

What are the exact dimensions when fully inflated?

The oval spa measures 190cm length x 120cm width x 63cm height when fully inflated. The internal water capacity accommodates two adults comfortably with adequate legroom and shoulder space. Wall thickness reduces internal dimensions slightly, providing approximately 170cm x 100cm of usable interior space. The 63cm height allows comfortable seating whilst maintaining structural stability.

How often do the filter cartridges need replacing?

The filtration system automatically alerts users after 168 hours of operation, indicating filter replacement time. With daily 2-hour use, filters typically last 12-14 weeks. Heavy usage or debris-heavy environments may require more frequent changes. Two spare cartridges are included and replacement filters are readily available. Clean water and proper chemical balance extend filter life significantly.

Can this hot tub be used during winter months?

Yes, the spa operates effectively in winter with proper precautions. The powerful heater maintains temperature even in cold weather, though heating costs increase. The insulated cover is essential for heat retention during winter use. Ensure adequate electrical supply as the heater draws maximum power in cold conditions. Consider partial drainage if freezing temperatures threaten when not in use.

What electrical requirements does this spa need?

The unit requires a standard 13-amp electrical connection with proper earthing for safety. The 1350W heater and pump system operate on 240V household current. Use a weatherproof outdoor socket or properly rated extension lead. RCD protection is essential for outdoor electrical equipment. Ensure the electrical circuit can handle continuous 1350W load without overloading other appliances.

How much water does the spa hold when full?

The spa holds approximately 800-900 litres when filled to recommended operating level. This capacity provides adequate water depth for comfortable seating whilst maintaining efficient heating and filtration. Overfilling reduces heating efficiency and may cause overflow during use. The recommended fill line ensures proper jet operation and prevents pump damage from running dry.

Is assembly required and what tools are needed?

Minimal assembly is required - primarily connecting hoses and positioning accessories. The spa inflates automatically using the integrated pump system. No tools are needed for basic setup, though a spirit level helps ensure proper positioning. The instruction manual provides step-by-step guidance for first-time users. Most people complete setup within 30-45 minutes including initial inflation and water filling.

What maintenance is required to keep the spa operating properly?

Regular maintenance includes weekly water testing and chemical balancing using standard spa chemicals. Clean the waterline monthly to prevent buildup and maintain appearance. Replace filter cartridges when the system alerts or every 12-14 weeks. Drain and refill completely every 3-4 months depending on usage frequency. The insulated cover should be cleaned monthly and checked for proper fit and insulation integrity.
