The benefits of a plug and play, moulded hot tub is that there is less chance of damage compared to an inflatable hot tub although you can’t fold it up and put it away in the winter time. The best bit is, you don’t have to put these tubs away because they can be used all year round.
The hardest part about owning a hot tub is where you want to put it and preparing the area, you have to consider drainage and access to electrics, all of this is explained in the downloadable manual. The other part is you will need some strong people to help with placing it into position as it is delivered curb side.
This QCA Spa is designed with 2 seats that face each other so great for having a chat together. It is shaped a bit like a large bath with raised moulded seats that have jets in the back of them. The hot tub is 92 inches long, 42 inches wide and 29 inches high. It’s made from Lucite-Extra Acrylic using a 3 layer shell strengthening process called Dura-Bond.
Although this portable hot tub is moveable with little installation it is also very durable so should last you some years. There is an outer cabinet which also houses the motor and pump unit which can be accessed by a removable panel. It’s on the long side where the controls are so you might want to place your hot tub so you can easily access it if required.
Once you have your QCA Spas Model 0 Gemini Plug and Play in place it is ready to fill with water. You have a 15 foot GFCI protected cord so you know the distance you have for your dedicated outlet to be and you have some peace of mind knowing that it won’t work unless your electrics are good.
The heater is automatic so all you need to do is set the temperature that you want and place the cover on so that you keep the heat in. It will cycle itself on and off keeping the temperatures required. The heating system is boosted by the Econo-Boost energy recovery system. What this does for you is it draws the heat created by the pump and motor and directs it into the water lines so that it can go towards heating the water. This is a Green method of heat recycling and can save money and precious natural resources.
You will need to follow some water maintenance rules so that you can enjoy relaxing in your hot tub as often as you want. You can use chlorine or bromine tablets or invest in a maintenance pack which you can get from your local pool shop or even off Amazon.com if you don’t have a pool shop. Microorganisms can grow in water if it’s not treated and make you ill so don’t skip this part.
Each seat has water jets at the rear which make the water bubble up and give you a relaxing massage at the same time. You have the adjustable knob next the the temperature control so you can decide the strength of the water flow through the jets.
When you have the water at the right temperature all the time you can use your hot tub at any time to suit you, day or night any time of the year. These moulded plug and play portable hot tubs are durable enough to withstand winter weather so you can make the most of your purchase.
