Some people are just too tight to spend £285 on a spa. Here are some of the crazy things they have done – don’t try any of this at home!

One of the most important considerations of running a spa is the cost to heat it. Electricity seems to get more expensive by the day so I thought that a discussion on how to heat your spa is needed.

My own personal spa – My electricity is on the Economy 7 tariff and so I try to use that whenever possible. I switch the heating on around midnight and manually turn off when I awake. The spa is set to 40C and will achieve that when I turn off. We would normally use the spa anytime after 4pm and in this unheated period the spa loses about 3C so it is around 37C. That’s still a very nice temperature and means our spa is running as cheaply as possible.

I will post up some electricity consumption detail next week.

Fancy a www.layz-spa.co.uk sticker or pet bowl?

People have asked us if it is possible to take a boxed Lay Z Spa on an airplane.

Well, the box is a fair old size and weighs quite a bit too!
Here is a photo of the info that is printed on the top of the box. This is the 4 person series 2 model.

If you are thinking of taking a Lay Z Spa XL 6 person model to your villa in the south of France, then you may be out of luck. That model is delivered on a quarter pallet!

Next Question please….

As you may know, the plug of the Lay Z Spa has a built-in RCD.
This means that the plug is larger than of a standard UK plug. If you install an outside waterproof mains socket of the kind that the cover snaps shut to maintain its waterproofness, you will find that cover of the socket will not close and may not be waterproof anymore.

Don’t forget, if in any doubt regarding electricity get the assistance of a qualified electrician.

Just a quick tip – make sure your lid clips are secure on your Lay Z Spa.
It would be a pain if the lid was to blow away!

How long do the filters last on a Lay-z-spa?

The region I live in has very hard water and so the filter does scale up very quickly and get rather dirty. I clean them frequently but tend to change them every 2 weeks. I would rather they scale my filter than the heater!

Fortunately, the filters are inexpensive. They are available in a twin pack, 6 x twin pack (12 filters) or 12 x twin pack (24 filters). A 6 x twin pack should last most of the season if you change fortnightly.

The filter packs are already inexpensive but by using our discount codes you can save even more – up to 10% off.

Did anyone see The Gadget Show on the 12 May 2008?

The Lay Z Spa was featured in this episode as a contestant in the focus group challenge. It was up against 3 other garden type products and the group of about 15 testers had to vote which was their favorite.

The Lay Z Spa series 2 was the winner by far!
