This soft tub is a life saver, we are both close to our 60's, as another reviewer stated they use it before bed time. I have found that I don't need sleep aids now because it relaxes my body so well and I have great sleeps. Set up was easy, inflate, fill with water and it takes about 24-48 hrs to get to 104'F. Definitely get the factory Intex underwater light, don't even bother looking at other junk lights. This one threads directly inside the tub, there are two heavy o'rings to keep water out. I order the factory light and two drink holders for $9.00 more than just the price of the light. So that's a no brainer, I also ordered a decent 10x10 tent to keep off the rain and snow for the winter. We are on the Westcoast so we will be using it all winter as it rarely gets -10'C even for a few days. The tub comes with a ground sheet which is basic but nice to have, stop thinking about it and get it, your body will thank you 😊

    I honestly didn't think this would work for me but I have used it alot and kept it running for 2 years straight. I'm in Canada and have used it year round, even in the snow. The cover insulation has settled a bit, but I use a second patio furniture cover over it to keep, UV rays, wind and rain from damage. It keeps warm, has nice bubbles and was good value.

    Delivery and setup was very smooth. Easy to understand instructions and product overall what was promised. Took a short time to fill up, and a long time to warm up (several days), although the manufacturer noted that filling with warm water would shorten heat up time. First week we used it a lot. Balanced the chemicals with a kit from Home Depot but noticed that water clouded quickly and when I checked the filters, noted that only one of the two filters appears to actually be connected to the pump. The other filter - further around the edge of the tub - has no suction, so I assume it it simply for show and to hold a spare filter. My family also noted that the insulated cover was extremely difficult to lift off and replace on the tub. Even let some air out to try and reduce the tub size but still very snug. So snug, in fact, that after a month of use, the cover has now torn where there is a cutout for the heater and pump unit. The insulating foam is exposed and starting to come apart. So, we are down to one family member enjoying the occasional soak, and a little disappointed in the filtration limitations, and the cover quality. While we are liking that we can deflate and remove the tub from the patio for the summer, the flexibility is offset somewhat by the challenges.

    For the price, this is a wonderful addition to our lives. Even if it only lasts a year, it's a deal. It's a very smart design. The sturdy outer shell is a nice addition. Setup isn't seamless, but it's definitely doable even for those of us not particularly gifted in matters of assembly. From our perspective, it's definitely a better deal than less efficient tubs that cost thousands of dollars more.

    This is my review of the Intex 28431EP PureSpa Plus 85 Inch.

    First off, the 28431EP at $678 appears to be identical to the 28431E at $1024. I contacted Intex asking the difference and their reply "They are almost the same but the little difference lies in color. And the pool kind is the same but they are different pool sets and would come with different pumps and other maintainence kit. Have a good day."

    If true, I can't see the colour difference. The pump it came with is labeled 2843100B, and appears and functions the same as the higher priced model. All of the extras, cover, controls, tool kit, appear exactly the same as the model without the P. If there is $300 in less value here, I can't find it.

    So, about the spa itself. So far so good. Everything was well designed and very easy to set up. The quality appears top notch. Filled water started at 57°f and in 24 hours, was 100°f (my initial setting). The pump/heater is extremely quiet, something I was very surprised and pleased to discover. I have had the small Intex pools before and, as I recall, the filter was rather loud.

    Of course the air pump is louder but not too bad, about the same level as the bubble noise itself. As for those bubbles, the strength of the massage was completely unexpected. I thought the bubbles were more for appearance, but come to find out, they work exceptionally well. Feels great on the old back.

    Really glad I got the 85" model, 6 person is a bit of a stretch, but 4 close friends would be doable. For my wife and I, it's perfect.

    The cover is very well thought out, and looks to do a great job of insulation. The inflatable bladder, give the cover a bit of a dome and should prevent excessive water pooling with rain.

    My take so far, is save $300 and get the Intex 28431EP PureSpa Plus 85 Inch for $678. Very happy with this purchase. If anything changes, I'll update this review.

    --Mark

    Edit:

    Three weeks of steady, daily, use and the spa is working perfectly. Using the La Crosse Wireless Pool Thermometer, I can see the spa cycles 102° to 104° without any problem. The heating, actually runs less than expected. Consumers tracks my monthly power, so I'll report back with details.

    I'm old and my back hurts so the biggest problem so far is lifting off the insulated (very effective), cover. The cover that comes with this model, extends to the ground, and is quite heavy. When lifting, the fit is snug, so you're fighting a vacuum to get it off! Easy solution though. When you go to remove the cover, undo the encircling strap, start the air pump, and the cover domes and easily lifts off! 😎 This also allows any rain water to drain off the top. Super easy.

    I generally take the insulated cover off for a morning soak, leaveing it off all day, using only the inflatable bladder. This seals well and keeps leaves and junk out of the water. Easy on and off makes it simple for a quick soak. I put the cover back on at the end of the day, or if we go away.

    When I originally fill the tub, I used a garden hose that was a couple years old, and the water was nasty. The hose must have deteriorated. Anyway, took several days and a couple of filter changes, and the pump/filter cleaned the water gin clear. Testing also showed are water was extremely hard. This unit supposedly had some method of softening water, well 8 days in, it tested perfect. With a few other standard pool chemicals, everything balanced out nicely. I check and clean/replace the filters every few days. They clean off well, especially with a bit of compressed air. You should get a fair amount of use before replacement is necessary.

    I also purchased the Intex 28620EP Handheld Rechargeable Spa Pool Vacuum. Maybe not completely necessary, but makes cleaning extremely easy.

    I think I read somewhere that the filter/heater timed out after 72 hour, or so. Not the case so far, but I use the spa daily.

    All said, very pleased with this spa. Stay tuned.

    Edit: END OF THE SEASON

    So, it's only mid October, but took advantage of one of the last nice days to store the spa. Read the instructions for storage, and it's pretty simple. Drained with the a hose a instructed and finished up with a wet vac, wiped down and deflated with the air pump. This work really well and collapsed the pool enough that it actually FIT into the provided storage bag! Other parts stored in the original box.

    Season summary: I used this spa almost daily for just shy of 6 months and enjoyed every minute. One E-90 filter error, when first installed with nasty water from an old hose. New filters and the water cleared up quickly and everything ran perfect all season. At first I was cleaning the filters, to extent there use, but found one one of them really doesn't do anything so just changed them weekly, swapping one with the other at that time. I am guessing the dual filters are a legal requirement, but for a spa this size, not really necessary.

    My only disappointment is the 104° temperature limit. I understand this is also a legal (or at least industry) requirement, but wish it was just a degree higher. I have a recording temperature gage and the spa consistently cycles between 102° and 104° which is good, but 102° is just a bit low for my taste. My friend has a $44,000 dollar spa and his does the same, so, I guess I can live with it.

    My electric usage was slightly higher than last year, but not by much. I am sure the spa accounted for some, but too little to put a number on it.

    As I was storing the spa and components, I had an opportunity to inspect everything. My original hope was to get a couple years out of this. I now suspect I can do much better as everything appears to be in excellent shape. Only a small amount a fading on the dark blue inner wall, otherwise all looks good.

    It's too bad that Amazon no longer allows replies on product reviews. Would love to compare notes with other spa owners.

    Summary: Absolutely an excellent value. See you next year, stay warm.

    Edit: Beginning year three, still good with one problem.

    At the end of year two, the insulated cover was finished. Started ripping at the seems. Intex does not seem to offer a replacement, so I irer the non-insulated "shorty". Actually, while not as efficient, it sure is easier to deal with. So, as a compromise, I'm happy, (see photo with shorty cover). Otherwise the spa has performed perfectly.

    Incredibly good deal and a pleasure for daily three (mostly) season use. Recommended.

    Of course the air pump is louder but not too bad, about the same level as the bubble noise itself. As for those bubbles, the strength of the massage was completely unexpected. I thought the bubbles were more for appearance, but come to find out, they work exceptionally well. Feels great on the old back.

    Really glad I got the 85" model, 6 person is a bit of a stretch, but 4 close friends would be doable. For my wife and I, it's perfect.

    The cover is very well thought out, and looks to do a great job of insulation. The inflatable bladder, give the cover a bit of a dome and should prevent excessive water pooling with rain.

    My take so far, is save $300 and get the Intex 28431EP PureSpa Plus 85 Inch for $678. Very happy with this purchase. If anything changes, I'll update this review.

    Edit:

    Three weeks of steady, daily, use and the spa is working perfectly. Using the La Crosse Wireless Pool Thermometer, I can see the spa cycles 102° to 104° without any problem. The heating, actually runs less than expected. Consumers tracks my monthly power, so I'll report back with details.

    I'm old and my back hurts so the biggest problem so far is lifting off the insulated (very effective), cover. The cover that comes with this model, extends to the ground, and is quite heavy. When lifting, the fit is snug, so you're fighting a vacuum to get it off! Easy solution though. When you go to remove the cover, undo the encircling strap, start the air pump, and the cover domes and easily lifts off! 😎 This also allows any rain water to drain off the top. Super easy.

    I generally take the insulated cover off for a morning soak, leaveing it off all day, using only the inflatable bladder. This seals well and keeps leaves and junk out of the water. Easy on and off makes it simple for a quick soak. I put the cover back on at the end of the day, or if we go away.

    When I originally fill the tub, I used a garden hose that was a couple years old, and the water was nasty. The hose must have deteriorated. Anyway, took several days and a couple of filter changes, and the pump/filter cleaned the water gin clear. Testing also showed are water was extremely hard. This unit supposedly had some method of softening water, well 8 days in, it tested perfect. With a few other standard pool chemicals, everything balanced out nicely. I check and clean/replace the filters every few days. They clean off well, especially with a bit of compressed air. You should get a fair amount of use before replacement is necessary.

    I also purchased the Intex 28620EP Handheld Rechargeable Spa Pool Vacuum. Maybe not completely necessary, but makes cleaning extremely easy.

    I think I read somewhere that the filter/heater timed out after 72 hour, or so. Not the case so far, but I use the spa daily.

    All said, very pleased with this spa. Stay tuned.

    Edit: END OF THE SEASON

    So, it's only mid October, but took advantage of one of the last nice days to store the spa. Read the instructions for storage, and it's pretty simple. Drained with the a hose a instructed and finished up with a wet vac, wiped down and deflated with the air pump. This work really well and collapsed the pool enough that it actually FIT into the provided storage bag! Other parts stored in the original box.

    Season summary: I used this spa almost daily for just shy of 6 months and enjoyed every minute. One E-90 filter error, when first installed with nasty water from an old hose. New filters and the water cleared up quickly and everything ran perfect all season. At first I was cleaning the filters, to extent there use, but found one one of them really doesn't do anything so just changed them weekly, swapping one with the other at that time. I am guessing the dual filters are a legal requirement, but for a spa this size, not really necessary.

    My only disappointment is the 104° temperature limit. I understand this is also a legal (or at least industry) requirement, but wish it was just a degree higher. I have a recording temperature gage and the spa consistently cycles between 102° and 104° which is good, but 102° is just a bit low for my taste. My friend has a $44,000 dollar spa and his does the same, so, I guess I can live with it.

    My electric usage was slightly higher than last year, but not by much. I am sure the spa accounted for some, but too little to put a number on it.

    As I was storing the spa and components, I had an opportunity to inspect everything. My original hope was to get a couple years out of this. I now suspect I can do much better as everything appears to be in excellent shape. Only a small amount a fading on the dark blue inner wall, otherwise all looks good.

    It's too bad that Amazon no longer allows replies on product reviews. Would love to compare notes with other spa owners.

    Summary: Absolutely an excellent value. See you next year, stay warm.

    Edit: Beginning year three, still good with one problem.

    At the end of year two, the insulated cover was finished. Started ripping at the seems. Intex does not seem to offer a replacement, so I irer the non-insulated "shorty". Actually, while not as efficient, it sure is easier to deal with. So, as a compromise, I'm happy, (see photo with shorty cover). Otherwise the spa has performed perfectly.

    Incredibly good deal and a pleasure for daily three (mostly) season use. Recommended.

    Set up was pretty easy. Its more dursble than I'd have thought. It can handle some weight. Took a day to heat up for us, but it's in a cold garage during winter so it may be quicker for others. Cools down a few degrees once you get in, but gets nice and hot to start. The jets work really well but i had to get used to the direction they flow. Sometimes the water overflows if you have a few people even with the minimum level of water. Overall my family and I love it! Awesome investment for the price.

    i was hesitant on purchasing this but it turned out to be fantastic! Its not like a permanent 240v massive tub like you would find at someone's home, but it is a great alternative if it might need moved around or used in a couple locations. It does take a while for it to get up to temperature the first time if you are using well water from the ground but that should be expected. After the initial warm up it keeps the temperature surprisingly well! Filters do a great job, cover is nice and secure. Love this thing!

    Purchased this spa as an interim solution while I save up to have my older hot tub and deck repaired.

    The instructions were confusing, but after finding some setup videos on YouTube, it was a fairly easy process. I’m not using the bubbles since the unit is extremely loud. It does lose heat quicker than an actual hot tub, but it heats up in about the same amount of time. While I’m eager to get my tub back up and running, this is a decent replacement for the time being.

    Something to note: if your power flickers, your spa will not turn back on by itself. You’ll have to turn it back on and re-set the temperature. Rain, overspill can cause the clips to freeze, making opening and/or closing the lid challenging. I don’t normally use the clips on my regular hot tub unless there’s wind/storms coming in, but it’s necessary on this spa since the lid is lightweight and inflated.

    Overall it’s lower to the ground and easy to step into, no steps required. The outer shell looks nice and less like an inflatable tub than others available in this size.
