Does anyone have any experience of an inflatable spa ?
Merci

Maybe.
Owning and using one.

We had an inflatable spa and loved it, but eventually the plastic material became brittle and I got fed up fixing punctures. Maybe if it hadn't been sited in direct full sunlight it would have lasted longer...but I suppose a lifespan of 3 or 4 years isn't too bad for a relatively cheap spa.
It was hard on electicity, but maybe that's to be expected, we've never had any other sort of spa or pool to compare it to.
All in all, I would say that they are a good buy, they work well and are easy to set up and maintain, but don't expect it to last more than 3 or 4 years.

They're on my lottery win shopping list.
Just the thing for aching back after a hard day's labour.

I never looked or did not experience it but does not the village, town or city you live in have a sports complex that has all the stuff you do not have at the casa/maison? Especially for the older folks..

There is absolutely no way I'd allow anyone except very close family members to use our spa...and as for getting into a tub of warm water that people I don't even know have steeped their bodies in....well, as houpla said...BUERK!! |

I am glad Crystal enjoyed hers for a few years but in my opinion, keeping the water clean and smelling nice was our problem, just a look at the paper filter cartridge after just a couple of uses was enough to put me off and I would empty it once a week and give it a thorough clean out. IMHO you need at least a sand filter running almost full time.
We had one of those wooden hot tubs, heated by a external stainless steel log burner but it had no filter, so I borrowed the sand filter from our above ground pool, much more satisfactory and got a good few years use out of it. Extremely relaxing but no bubbles just incredibly hot water with a bit of lavender oil and everyone slept well after.

Sounds good, how about cleaning the filter and keeping the water clean etc ? |

Perhaps you should try out, or at least read up on the way the japanese use thier " onsen". Like their tea ceremony, the onsen has its own rituals and one is that you use the toilet and then shower clean before getting in the hot spring water.

Yes, sounds good P E though I would have thought it normal to go in clean rather than mucky. |
