Bestway Coleman Sicily AirJet Large Round 5 to 7 Person Inflatable Hot Tub Portable Outdoor Spa with 180 AirJets and EnergySense Cover, Grey

The media could not be loaded. We’ve now owned this spa for 3 months. I waited to post a review until we had some time to really test it and put it to good use. We originally bought this spa as a test to see if we were cut out to be spa owners. The plan was so try out an affordable inflatable spa, get a feel for balancing chemicals, and then purchase a full sized jacuzzi later on if we felt we were up to the task of spa ownership. Well, this Coleman Saluspa has treated us so well that we have no plans on replacing it for a full sized jacuzzi. It’s FANTASTIC. We have used it pretty much every single day since we got it a little over 3 months ago. The spa itself was super easy to set up. It came with all the required parts and the instructions were very straightforward and easy to read. The bubbles are strong, it stays warm, and is well sized. We have fit 4 full grown adults in and all agreed we could have probably fit in a 5th friend if we were comfortable getting cozy. I’ve included a pic of my husband laying down in it from when we were initially setting it up (he’s 5’10) and a pic of him in it with a buddy for scale and size reference. This Saluspa is definitely one of the larger models that Coleman produces. As for durability, we’ve had zero leaks and find it to be extremely durable. We’ve sat on the sides to cool off when we get warm, and our cats regularly sit on the sides to hang with us when we are using the spa. They also like to hang out on the cover (I’ve included a pic). You’d think their claws would puncture it, but they have not. This spa is extremely durable… even to cat claws. We just did our first drain and clean yesterday (it’s recommended to drain a few times a year) and draining was super simple, although time consuming. You just attach a hose, pull a plug, and thats it! As for spa upkeep, I recommend doing some research on balancing chemicals. Reddit was a great resource when getting started. Some things you’ll need are as follows: sodium bromide packets to initially get started, bromine tablets, shock (chlorine initially activates bromine), PH Decreaser/Increaser, and Alkalinity Decreaser/Increaser. The last 2 will be dependent on the type of water you have. We have city water and have only ever needed PH Decreaser and Alkalinity Increaser. My in-laws are on well water and have only ever needed the opposite. You’ll also need a small chemical floater for the Bromine Tablets (the tablets are too large to fit in the basket on the Saluspa) and of course test strips, and a skimmer of some sort (we got a bug net from the dollar tree to skim debris out of the water and it has work very well). Some other things I’d recommend are putting down foam tiles underneath the spa for extra comfort, a scum boat to absorb body oils and reduce foam, and a spa light. We found a floating light and Bluetooth speaker here on Amazon, however Bestway (another producer of Saluspas has a website full of fun accessories you can purchase for your spa. Headrests, lights, fountains, etc). Happy floating! This purchase was one of the best things we’ve ever bought! So happy to have it!

Embracing Man-Made Nature: My Healing Journey Through Yoga and Pilates in My Homemade Hot SpringThe journey to healing is a deeply personal and transformative experience, one that is never linear, but full of discovery, growth, and self-compassion. For me, it has been a winding path of reconnecting with both my inner self and the natural world around me. It's a journey that has led me to a unique practice, one that brings together my interest in fitness, and the therapeutic powers of nature, all within the comforting embrace of my very own homemade hot spring.Every morning, I step into the serene warmth of my hot spring, a man-made haven I’ve carefully crafted as a space for healing, reflection, and deep connection with my body. As the steam rises, I am reminded of the transformative power of water—how it can soothe, cleanse, and renew. The heat gently relaxes my muscles, allowing me to slip deeper into each stretch and breath as I flow through my yoga poses and Pilates movements.What I love most about this practice is the intuitive nature of it. There are no rigid schedules, no perfect routines to follow. Instead, I allow my body and mind to guide me, listening to what I need in the moment. Some days, my body craves deep stretches, flowing into poses like downward dog or child’s pose, letting the warmth of the water support me. On other days, it asks for something more active—a Pilates workout that engages my core and strengthens my muscles, all while the water’s buoyancy offers support and relief.This intuitive approach to my workouts has been a form of healing in itself. It has taught me the importance of listening to my body, of tuning out the noise of the world around me, and of being present in the moment. The hot spring, with its soft bubbles and gentle warmth, is the perfect environment to foster this kind of connection. It encourages me to slow down, to be mindful of each movement, and to let go of any tension or expectation.But the healing goes beyond just the physical. There is a spiritual aspect to my practice that is nurtured in the quiet solitude of the morning. The steam that rises from the water feels almost magical, as though it is carrying away any lingering negativity, leaving me with a sense of calm and clarity. I feel connected not only to my body but to something greater—the energy of the earth, the cycles of nature, and the wisdom of the universe. This is why I call it "man-made nature." While the hot spring is a creation of my own design, it mirrors the natural processes of rejuvenation, renewal, and balance found in the world around us.As I move through my yoga and Pilates practice each day, I am reminded of the importance of self-care and self-love. This healing space I’ve cultivated isn’t just about physical wellness; it’s about emotional and mental well-being, too. It’s about embracing who I am, acknowledging my growth, and honoring my healing process. The gentle flow of the water, the warmth that envelops me, and the rhythms of my breath all contribute to a profound sense of peace, helping me release any lingering stress or negative energy from the day before.In the quiet of the morning, with the soft sounds of water and breath, I am reminded of the importance of slowing down and allowing space for healing. We often rush through life, caught up in the demands of the world, but this practice has taught me the power of pausing—of taking a moment to be still, to connect, and to renew. And as I continue on my journey, I carry this lesson with me, trusting in the process of healing, and embracing the beauty of both man-made and natural wonders alike.For anyone on their own healing journey, I encourage you to find a space—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—where you can slow down and listen to your body. It doesn’t have to be a hot spring or a specific workout routine. What matters is finding a place of peace and connection that nurtures your soul. For me, that place is my homemade hot spring, and every morning, it becomes a sanctuary where I can heal, reflect, and grow.Healing is not a destination but a lifelong journey, and with each breath, each movement, and each moment of connection, I continue to embrace the process with love and gratitude.

First, the assembly and installation instructions are poor. I had to google videos to make sure I understood their poor drawings that are printed in small graphics and it is hard to gain any insight from the instructions.Second, the heater/pump does not work. Taking the advice from one of the videos we filled the tub with hot water which was 102 degrees. We set the pump at 104 to try and maintain the temp. It sank to a cold of 88 and then struggled to get back to 97 degrees. It hit a high of 99 when the sun came out. The pump has been running for three days and has not raised the temp beyond 99. I expect some heat loss when it is in use, uncovered, and such. But this has been running covered for three days.Finally, trying to get any customer service from Bestway is hard. Their online portal basically routes you back to the FAQ page unless you want to file a warranty claim or order a part. I had to look up the phone number for the company and call them directly only to be told to go on the app and file a warranty claim. The other piece of advice was to let it run for another day maybe it would heat it up.The only positive thing I can say is the rubber construction of the tub is stronger than I expected.
