Wave Aegean 6-Person Inflatable Hot Tub (Navy, 195cm x 195cm)

How long does it take to heat the water to 40°C?

The integrated heater system typically takes 24-36 hours to reach 40°C from cold water, depending on ambient temperature and starting water temperature. The energy-efficient insulation helps maintain this temperature once reached, reducing subsequent heating times. For faster results, you can fill with warm water initially, though this isn't necessary for normal operation.

What electrical requirements does this hot tub need?

The Wave Aegean requires a standard 13-amp electrical supply and should be connected to an RCD-protected circuit for safety. The integrated heater and bubble jet system operate on 230V mains power. Ensure your outdoor electrical supply is properly weatherproofed and installed by a qualified electrician, with the plug kept in a dry location away from water.

How much space do I need for installation?

You'll need a level area measuring at least 220cm x 220cm to accommodate the 195cm x 195cm hot tub with access space around the edges. The surface should be firm and level, such as concrete, decking, or compacted ground with a protective mat underneath. Allow additional space for the control panel access and entry/exit areas around the hot tub.

What maintenance is required for the filtration system?

The integrated filtration system requires filter cartridge replacement every 2-4 weeks depending on usage frequency and bather load. Clean the filter weekly by rinsing with cold water to remove debris and oils. The system reduces chemical requirements compared to non-filtered hot tubs, but you'll still need to maintain proper water balance with appropriate sanitisers and pH adjusters.

Can this hot tub be used indoors?

Yes, the Wave Aegean can be used indoors provided you have adequate ventilation, drainage and ceiling height clearance. Indoor use requires proper humidity control to prevent condensation damage to your property. Ensure the floor can support the total weight of approximately 1,500kg when filled with water and occupants and consider waterproof flooring protection.

How does the anti-freeze protection work?

The anti-freeze system automatically activates when water temperature approaches freezing point, circulating water through the heating element to prevent ice formation. This protection operates continuously during cold weather without manual intervention. However, in extreme cold conditions below -10°C, additional insulation or temporary drainage may be recommended to prevent damage.

What's included in the standard package?

The standard package includes the inflatable hot tub structure, integrated heater and bubble jet system, filtration unit, repair kit, ground cloth, insulated cover and instruction manual. You'll need to provide your own chemicals for water treatment and may want to purchase additional accessories like steps, cup holders, or headrests separately for enhanced comfort.

How long does the hot tub take to inflate?

Inflation typically takes 10-15 minutes using the included electric pump or a suitable alternative. The drop-stitch construction inflates to create rigid walls that maintain their shape under water pressure and occupant weight. Once inflated, the structure remains stable and doesn't require frequent re-inflation unless punctured or deliberately deflated for storage or relocation.
