What if the heater won’t work?
Bestway need to give you a job for clearly explaining just about everything to do with their hot tubs as the bloody instructions that they provide are useless to say the least.
You know what? you've given me an idea. I might approach Bestway myself. I'm 50/50 on it just now but I'll let the idea gestate and see if I come round.
@@AbouttheHouse0 You’ve absolutely nothing to lose fella as I’ve no doubt there will be 0000’s of people out there struggling to operate and maintain these hot tubs via the instruction manual provided. Ideally they should add a link to your videos then pay you per view.
Totally agree with this! There are no other videos on CZcams like yours!
@@victoriaelizabeth222 Totally agree with you.
@@superbrit3845 @Victoria Elizabeth thanks both. I will
I stumbled across your Lay Z Spa videos when I was searching for information about my spa which is not the same manufacturer and is also not even a blow-up type. However, I have found your videos to be so well put together and entertaining that I have watched all of them now! Keep up the good work.
Just went through the written instructions for the umpteenth time and ready to... it’s now heating 🤙🏾thanks for the upload M8!
Woohoo! Thank you for the mention and thank you for the video! Very easy to follow. Our LZS Miami goes up tomorrow for the first time and your videos have helped no end. I look forward to more uploads 👍🏻😊
I was just looking for your original comment to let you know, but you beat me to it, lol. Glad you like it. Do let us know how you get on 👍
Do you leave the pool warmer on for life and set the timer so the water is always ready for use when you want it. Or do you turn it off once your water has reached the temp
Absolutely brilliant explanation, thank you so much! I live alone and a friend helped me setup the spa; we promptly lost the directions and I have been searching for how to setup the timer, which you so perfectly explained. Appreciates the tip about saving energy with the filter, my bill def jumped when I installed this thing! Every little bit helps. :) Thank you! New subscriber! All the best to you :)
What a great explanation to the timer function, I struggled reading it in the manual even with my glasses on !!
Thanks for the feedback Helen
Omg, read the instructions three times, watch your video and so clear and informative. Thank you
You're welcome!
We purchased one of these from Costco this week. Your videos have been a real help 👍
Thanks Max
Very clear and concise. I especially liked the warning about an external timer. Thanks very much
I had watched different videos to find out to to set temperature for timer. I found answer in your finally. Thanks for your clear explanation 🙂
Thank you for the videos on inflatable spa. Your videos were great and we now have a heated spa. The instructions from Best way we're horrendous. Your videos were great, so helpful. Thank you.
Great video - clear instructions- not too long.
Just BRILLIANT, an easy way. Thank you 👏👏
i bought spa today thanks for video mate, great tutorial
Thank you so much, your right, the manual on setting up the timer is vague indeed. Very helpful ☺️
And the print is so small I had to use a magnifier to read it.
You are brilliant! I have just purchased my own first laz y spa and it was quite a daunting purchase! The instructions were awful and the articles online aren’t helpful in the slightest! You get straight to the point and are very thorough! Thank you!
Thank you for your comments, makes it all worthwhile
Great video, thankyou......I was leaving the filtration on all the time before!😮
Thanks for this. Very simple yet Bestway never made it clear. I had set mine the opposite way round until I saw this video.
Thanks 🙏
Yes, it would seem more logical to set the delay first
Dude you nailed it! When we got our spa I read them and started my set-up. I immediately went inside and told my wife, "These instructions are the absolute worst!"
Thanks Eric
Amazing very informative I’ve just bought mine and the instructions are shocking. thanks 🙏
aren't they just 👍
Amazing video, told me everything i needed to know after scratching my head clearly not understanding the Bestway instructions. Keep up the good work.
Just bought a new hot tub and couldn't understand the instructions whatsoever but came across your videos. Well what can I say except excellent and thankyou. You explained everything in so much detail it was so easy to set up. Keep doing an amazing job 😁
Great to hear, thanks Tracey
Outstanding and Clear instructions Sir!
Thank you
Thank you. Such a simple yet effective tutorial 👍
Glad you think so!
Fantastic video you have answered what I’ve been trying to work out all afternoon. Great videos real clear instructions massive 👍up 👍👍👍😂
Happy to help! 👍🎓
Well so useful I'm so happy cheers fixed what I thought was broken
Thank you 🙏 so much for your Ease of Instructions and The Tip for Using the timer ⏲️ without the Filter on Thus saving money 💰 and using Less Electric ⚡️
Top vídeo ,simple but very well explained, congratulations, success to the channel 👍👍👍
Thank you for a very informative video.. the instructions are rubbish, but you have helped me BIG TIME X much appreciated
Sorry, I should also have added that your videos are great, you clearly explain in an easy to understand manner. We are really enjoying our hot tub.
Thanks, nice of you to say. I do try to make my videos "accessible to all".
Question when you set the timer do the spa completely shut off power
Concise and clear. Thank you
Excellent explanation, thanks!
Brilliant video! Thank you so much! 🤟🏽
Thank you, Ian 👍
Legend mate, just got mine set up, superb info

Magic, thank you for making this video, I could not make head nor tail of the instructions x
Yep, that's a BIG club
Excellent video !!! Your an absolute legend
Thank you so much for this. Just set up my first spa and wanted more info about the timer function.
You are so welcome!
Thanks, very well explained!

Fantastic, thanks so much. Bought a beer for you, hope you enjoy it as I enjoy mine in my hot tub tonight 😅
Fantastic review! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Perfect explained so that even we, at the other side of the North Sea, are able to understand it. ‘73
Awesome. Are you in Norway, Sweden, Denmark area?
Grazie veramente ben
elencato il modo d'utilizzo timer
Thank you Victoria 😊
You are so welcome!
Thank you. I needed this
You are so welcome
Another great video. As you say on the Control Panel Operation video, the instructions that are supplied are utter rubbish. Thank the lord someone out there did the decent thing and make these set up and maintain videos!!!!😍
Thanks hugely helpful
Fantastic! Will rewatch tomorrow and test on my spa, it's been a long day.
Enjoy! New spa?
@@AbouttheHouse0 yeah, 4th one, finally got the new 2021 pump. Much better than the older ones. Had a Monaco first, then two Vegas and now a Helsinki. I used them everyday so it's been a good 5 or so years!
@@DashDrones are all the 2020 and earlier ones the egg shape and they changed to 'box' for 2021? Or have I got the wrong end of the stick.
@@AbouttheHouse0 yep, that's exactly what I meant. The heat/filtration system stays on at the same time as the airjet massagers on simultaneously unlike either or on the old ones 👍
Thanks for the video , Excellent straightforward way of explaining how the timer works. So essentially if I used this function would this be the cheapest way to run the hot tub as I can set it up for when I want to use it and how long etc?
Amazing THANKYOU
So helpful!
Thank you so much!!
Definitely agree……..Bestway need to explain clearly……..this video clearly helps….Thankyou…..just setup 6 hour delay…..then 4 hour heating and circulation on too….
Thank you. I tried to report the burnt plug issue to them, but they make it impossible to just 'get in touch'. I don't think they are 'customer focussed' and are sitting back on their laurels.
Great job , thank you
Thanks for watching!
Great video thank you for sharing
Wish I would of seen this video 9 hours ago when I set my spa up for the first time. Didn’t realize I put a 99 hour hold on starting the heater… Very helpful video. Thank you.
You must like the number 9
What a great guy
Thank you, I completely agree, the instructions coming with the spa were so absolutely useless. CZcamsrs came to my rescue.
👍
Thanks for the instructions for the timer instructions did not explain this very well cheers
The instructions that come with them are useless.
Bloody good work mate
Thank you 😊
awesome. Thank you for stopping by
thank you 😄
Great video thank you
Finally it makes since
Thank you so much
You're most welcome
Good one mate 👍
Rock on man, thanks. 😊
Thanks, you too!
Thank you.
Welcome!
Oh my goodness! Three years I have had my spa and the first time I actually know how to use the timers! The instructions they send are garbage!! For such a nice spa you would think they would take the time with instructions. Totally support your channel. Thank you.
Question..I leave my pump filter going all the time. I have extremely hard water and feel it keeps it from build up. Is it meant to be on all the time or off most of the time?
Thanks Robin, glad it was helpful!
If I want to keep my temp set to 28' & then use the timer to to heat up to 38' what happens when I turn off the heater as described in your video? Great video by the way. Thanks
excellent
I have only used the timer for "jets" while soaking now I know why the filter&heat sometimes turned off with the timer. Thanks!
Hi mate great instructions. I'm going on holidays for 2 weeks. I don't wanna turn my hot tub off. What do I need to do to keep it from contamination. Tys George
nice vid
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. Dam nuisance that it only works for the hours set. So I live in QLD, AUS (very very hot in summer) and we are going away for 8 nights at the end of December, so I guess I will have to set it to cover most of the time we are away. Any suggestions, most welcome.
Rather than allowing it to cool and using the timer for 7 days time, I'd suggest reducing the set temperature to 32-34ish and leaving it on. Knock it back up to 'normal' as soon as you return (or get a friend to do it the day before). It'd be cheaper and cleaner that way. Also put tablets in it
Indeed best way do need to give u a job ,I’m stuck I don’t understand how the timer works I’m leaving my heater on daily & the filter button on all time I need it hot up to 40 twice daily that’s it ,what do you recommend leaving it on all night ,sorry I have learning difficulties so videos help me greatly thanks 👍👌
Thank you for the tip. Sorry for the questions their manuals are not very good.
Is this something that can be set or scheduled daily or do you have to do this everyday?
Also do you know what this is about?
Designed with innovative winterizing technology, the system will keep the internal temperatures between 42º and 50ºF (6º and 10ºC) to prevent damage.
Good afternoon and Great thanks for this clear and helpful vidéo … saved us a decent amount of Time … just one question though please, can we put the cover on top of the spa while heating (to optimize heating Time )… or will it cause any problem? Tnx in advance
Keep lid on you are meant to so the heat doesn't escape and cost you a fortune too.
Just subscribed, hope you can help us out. We set up our Coleman Saluspa. We were enjoying the warm water and air bubbles. When I stepped out of the spa, I was shocked. We turned off the unit and I tried to get back in. The shock was very strong even with the the unit turned off. We unplugged the unit and of course all was fine.
I understand the wet floor the cause, why are we experiencing this, is our spa defective? Thanks
Hi, thanks for your clear instructions..however..what temp should i have it at until the timer kicks in..?? Seems to go from 27 to 39 would be impossible in 2 hrs
Thank you. You mentioned about leaving the circulation for 4 hours in every 12. If you have the temperature set to say 35 and it is constantly checking this. Would there be no need to manually activate circulation as it would be doing it periodically as it keeps temperature?
The circualtion pump is automatically on if your heating is on.
Thank you so much! I paid 10 times energy by keeping it ON all time (heat and filter) Can I turn both OFF and only turn on when using it? I do use it once a week only. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!
You can turn both filter and heat off, when the timer activates it will turn both on for the set duration.
Thank you . Much better instructions than the terrible ones provided
Aren't they just!
Thank you for that video. You’re correct, the manual is rubbish! I cannot get my Hydro jets and air bubble jets to work together. I have tried everything I know and my unit is two days old. Do you have any idea of what I might try. I have a warranty claim in already would best way. Thanks
Clear explanation, but I'm at a loss as to why it would be use. I check my spa daily, and when i think i may even want to use it, go back to it and start it heating/pumping. Dont get what the benefit is the timer function if 1) it cant be left to run and cycle 2) has to be setup and started each time.. I'm sure there are use cases but I've just not thought of them... :D Good video again tho, and i like the end bit 'i shall see you again pointy finger'. Reminds me of Shaw Taylor on Police 5 :D (showing my age....)
I can think of a few use cases. If you're going away for a holiday you could set it to be ready for when you get back.
If you have economy 7 leccy you can set it to heat in the cheap rate
Set it up in the evening so it's ready for when you get home from work the following day
And no doubt more. I agree it's very limited though. It would have cost less than a fiver in production costs to put a proper timer in the controls OR at least make the unit capable of being used with a plug-in timer.
Yours is by far best on this topic. To confirm, I can't set the spa up to cycle on and off. Each time I want to use it, I need to set duration to run time and a start time?
Just got mine and haven't figured any of this out by experience, but I think if you leave the heater button 'on' the pump will cycle on/off while maintaining the temperature indefinately until power is cut off.??? the amazing thing I found out last night is in 35 degrees, the tub only lost 11 degrees(from 99-88) from 10pm to 8am. I turned off the heat button thinking it was the circulation button! this vid helped me realize that.
@@dfwguy7149 Appreciate your feedback. So far as I can tell, the pump runs continuously regardless if the temperature has been reached.
Quick tip, you can set the duration and then keep the second option (Time) to 0 for it to turn on now for X amount of hours.
I do this most mornings when leaving for work and its toasty if the Mrs wants a dinner time dunk.
👍👍👍
What do you mean set time to zero ?
@@CityGirl33 When you press the timer button, the first time you set is the duration (how long you want it to run for) then you hit the timer button again to confirm, it moves you onto another time option. This is the “How long from now do you want it to turn on” option. If you leave it at zero, you can have it turn on from now until however long you set the duration for.
Good for starting it on a morning for a few hours to get it warmed up a bit more, and if you decide to not go in, you don’t have to worry about going back out to turn it off.
@@Darksum90 thank you - I wish I had known this prior to purchasing
@@CityGirl33 Why, if you've purchased it, you need to know after buying it not before?
Thanks for the video! What is preferable- To keep the heat at, say, 36 degrees continuously, or to let it cool down and heat up again 4 hours before bathing?
That depends on how much you pay for electricity at any given time. If you have solar panels for example, keeping it at temp while the sun shines is probably the better option. If you get cheap rate electricity at night and use the tub in the morning, having it heat overnight makes sense. If you're able to add additional insulation around the tub to reduce heat loss, keeping it at temperature may be as effective as only heating prior to use. A lot of variables to consider in each user's situation
Excellent. Is it OK to use chlorine tabs in the built in dispenser? Or should you always dissolve them in a jug and then add the solution to the tub?
Put them in the holder on the inside of the spa above the filter
Thanks for this video! I just set up my spa, is it my understanding there is no way for this pump to come on by it's self unless I set the timer every day? And the heater will not come on unless I start it myself as well?
The timer sets the heater to come on in X hours time for Y hours. When the heater comes on by timer, the pump comes on too and goes off at the end of the timed period.
You can have the pump on at any time (or all the time) by switching it on.
Hi can I ask a silly question... after use of hot tub do I power it off and turn back on in the morning. And should I leave the filter and or heat on all day when it's being used or waiting for people to use. I hope this makes sense. Thank you I love your videos
It is best to leave the circulation pump on or at least run it for 4hrs in every 12hr period. If you're using the tub most days then leave the heating set to 2-3c below normal use temp and then put the temp up a couple of hours before use. If you use it in the evening you could use the timer to bring it back on next morning. Remember, overnight is when it will cool the most.
I want the heater on now and then come back in a few hours and have hot water. It's hard to tell which is the time delay and which one is the heat on time?
