Lay-Z-Spa 60029 Milan Airjet Plus Inflatable Hot Tub, 6 Person

Product Information

Connect a garden hose (with the adaptor supplied) to the drainage/inflation valve. Making sure the hose is long enough to reach a drain. ( Never drain the spa water into your lawn or flower beds because it contains chemicals that will kill them). Step 4. Remove All Fixtures and Fittings Here’s how to deflate lazy spa hot tubs (or most inflatable hot tubs to be honest) using my simple step-by-step guide. It’s not complicated but it is essential that you don’t skip any steps to keep your lazy spa at its best. Step 1. Turn OFF the Power Once completely dry you will be able to start folding up the lazy spa. ( Keep a clean dry cloth handy to wipe away any moisture that may have been missed). Sinking into the Milan's water was exactly what you'd expect – lovely and warming. We were worried that the floor being relatively thin padding would mean it wouldn't be very pleasant to sit on, but it's perfectly comfortable, actually – the fact that your weight is affected by the water presumably helps a lot.

The Milan claims to take 4-6, but if you go beyond two, you will find it immediately very intimate. Four people who are members of the same family? Fine. Two different couples, though? It will immediately feel like that kind of party, whether you want it to or not. And six is a pipe dream for adults. The pump is very quiet for general use, but when you turn on the bubbles, things get loud, both on the surface of the water and from the pump right next to you. Asking Alexa to turn the bubbles off is a pretty futile exercise… One thing that surprised us is that the bottom of the tub didn't inflate, but this is normal – and is fine, as we'll come to. The smart features are a nice addition – we found ourselves ignoring the Alexa control in practice, but using the app to dial in a time the next day you want it to be heated for is a useful touch. It's not essential, though – we certainly wouldn't blame anyone for saving some money and going for a model without it.We haven't talked about running costs here – it will vary depending on your energy provider, and whether you're running solar panels or anything like that. But it is a lot of energy – Lay-Z-Spa's FAQ section has a bit of information about it, but the gist is that if you use it several times per week, it will have a noticeable cost. It'll be worth breaking it down and stashing it water-free when you're not actually planning to use it. But that's not specific to this hot tub – it's true of them all. At this stage, the tub is still perfectly carryable, but large enough to require two people (dragging it along the ground is, clearly, not advisable), so get it into position. The main issue with using a hot tub during the winter months is that they are not designed to be used or stored in less than 4 degrees centigrade (40f). Here in the UK, temperatures drop far below that during winter and spring, making it unlikely that you are able to enjoy your hot tub. Generally, this is an incredibly intuitive and robust inflatable hot tub that’s ideal for anybody seriously committed to getting regular use out of their hot tub.

If you’ve got the money and will get the use out of it, it’s one of the most user-friendly options out there. But, it might be a little expensive for first-time buyers or those that aren’t too sure that they’ll be using this tub regularly. Always store your lazy spa inflatable hot tub somewhere dry and well ventilated and where the temperature is always above 6˚C. Unfortunately, this rules out the garden shed for most of us. The Bestway Smart Hub App means control is right in the palm of your hand. Turn on, turn off, set the temperature, activate the timer and even control the bubbles; all from your mobile phone. Available on Android and Apple devices. Perfect for making sure your hot tub is ready to use as soon as you get home. Once home and in your hot tub, you don't have to lift a finger; the hot tub hands free means you can use your voice to control the temperature and massage system!There's a final pipe on the outside of the tub for releasing the water. Smartly, a hose connector is provided that fits on this, meaning you can just use your standard hose to direct water down a drain, or to use for washing the car any other way you might recycle it when you're done. Once drained, take out any fixtures and fittings still attached and place them to one side for cleaning. (clean with soapy water and then dry completely with a soft cloth). Step 5. Thoroughly Clean and Rinse Once it's at heat, the Milan will maintain that temperature from then on, topping the heat up as required, for as long as you have the heating function on. Remove the filter housing and replace the stopper plugs provided. Now take the filter out (if it is still in good condition, then clean and store safely). Step 3. Disconnect the Pump The Lay Z Spa Milan can be used year-round thanks to its freeze shield and rapid heating, though the same heating system can be found on cheaper models, so pulling the trigger really comes down to how useful you’ll find the app-based control system.

The air bubble massage system features 80 'jets' running through the bottom of the spa, and it heats up to a maximum of 40°C/104°F. The main issue is not the actual hot tub but the pump. If water should freeze in any part of the heating system you will, without a doubt, be unable to use it again.

Even if the inflatable hot tub is turned off and empty, your hot tub should not be left outside in the winter. Besides possible motor issues, the harsher weather conditions may cause wear and tear of the vinyl and other fixtures. Is it OK to store a hot tub on its side? Our Lay-Z-Spa Milan box didn't come with instructions for inflating the tub and fitting it all together, though we're assured that they do for consumers. No instructions did make it a bit interesting to work out what went there for us, but when you know what you're doing, it's all a smooth process. With the industry-leading Balboa TP500s & BP200 control system, the Milan 1 Lounger ensures perfect operation and user-friendly experience. Fully insulated, this hot tub keeps running costs low without compromising on performance. Boasting 36 total jets in various configurations, the Milan 1 Lounger offers a soothing and invigorating massage experience, highlighted by the shoulder massage feature in the captain’s chair.

There is one major point we want to raise about the Milan, and Lay-Z-Spa's sizing in general, though – the number of people you can fit in there.Experience seamless operation and ease of use with the industry-leading Balboa TP500s & BP200 control system. The Milan 1 Lounger is fully insulated, keeping running costs low without sacrificing performance. With an impressive 47 jets in various configurations, this hot tub delivers a soothing and revitalising massage experience, complete with a shoulder massage feature in the captain’s chair. The app is handy for this – not only does it have simple on/off switches for features such as heating, bubbles or a simple constant filter pump, but there's also a scheduling feature, so you can set the desired temperature, set a time for the heating to start, and how long it should be on for. The actual bubble massage is really pleasant, though it's not quite the 'massage' it promises to be from the literature. We do wish you could choose the intensity of the bubbles, though, so that they could be easier to talk over. We really like the Lay-Z-Spa Milan Airjet Plus – it's a good size for a couple or small family, it's ultimately straightforward to set up and operate, and it comfortable to use. Storing a moist hot tub is asking for mould. Make sure all the water is completely drained out and go over it with a dry cloth before folding away. Step 7. Deflate the Lay-Z-Spa
