lay z spa help needed
POSTED BY: keli 5 days, 39 minutes agoHi guys
we have purchased a lay z spa and yesterday set it all up, it finally reached a temperature of 94f at 12.00 midnight but i was unsure if we could keep it on overnight so turned it off (as nothing tells you in the instructions), i was wondering if someone who has one could advise me, as i am guessing been as we turned it off last night the temperature will have dropped and i will have to go through the whole process tonight and wait for it reach the required temp again, basically will i ever be able to get into the spa. many thanks in advance.

If you use the inflatable cover and lid, that seals in the heat and stops it cooling down:
 I turn the heat setting down to say 25 degrees with the cover on and let it 'tick over' between use (I use mine daily) the thermostat will maintain that and only heat the water when needed. A couple of hours before you want to use it turn the temp up to 40 (leaving the lid ON) and it will very quickly get up to heat. It's the best way to do it as the heating element in the pump is a 2KW - 2000 watts which is like boiling your kettle continuously (watch the leccy meter spin wildly !!!!). As you have found it's pointless turning it off as it takes AGES to heat from cold Get a bottle or two of chilled white wine enjoy and relax in your spa whilst getting trashed  PS: I bought mine from here : http://bestwayspa.co.uk/Lay-Z-Spa_Series_2.html VERY helpful people and all original spares and accesories are available in case it goes wrong  Last edited by big-boy : 12-05-2008 at 08:28.

I got my mum to switch it on just and it had dropped to 88 so i have told her to leave it on, so once it gets to the max temp it will just maintain it then, i dont mind about the leccy at the mo (she says until i receive the bill LOL) oooo i really excited, we have got one of them inflatable cover thingys but it dropped from 94 to 88 in the space of approx 8 hours so i just thought switch it on and keep it on, but i will do your suggestion of the 25 degrees after today, i just want to chill in spa and be a lady of leisure. |
