This is the first video I found that actually made sense and explained timings and amounts properly! Thank you so much!!

Absolute legend man, watched loads of your videos now, wish everyone on YouTube was as informative as you! Thanks!

[akwiredtaste]

Absolutely love your videos. Clear, easy to follow, no crappy background music. Good job you don’t live next door; I’d be round every 5 minutes for advice 😀

Your Chemical Guide is probably the best instructions I've seen in a long while. These tubs are not cheap and using chemicals, you just don't want to mess it up. Thank you! 😊

Just setup my spa for the the first time this has saved me endless hours…..many thanks. Keep these going!

[lesleysummerton]

Excellent instruction guide! Straight to the point, nice and clear. Thank you! All pros and cons explained simply. Recommend this guys video when you are a hot tub newbie. Went straight out into my garden and everything fell into place after watching this.

I bought a hot tub last week and haven't used any of the instructions for it - I've watched your videos instead 😊 They have been so helpful 😊

We should receive ours today or Monday, was actually considering just selling it when it arrived as sounded like more hassle than it was worth. This video has changed my mind, good easy to understand info 👍

Got my hot tub today and as a novice found this video a great help.
Just waiting for the next video on running costs. Cheers mate.

[cherrypop]

just wanted to say a big thank you for this video, set up a lay-z-spa for the first time last night and this made the whole process so much easier.

[lornagregory]

Thank you so much, this is the first time I got the readings right, with clear and easy-to-follow instructions without the faff. kep them coming mate, you are the best.

Hired a hot tub for the family and the instructions that came were not great…this really helped a lot!!! Thank you so much!

[rebelk]

Thanks for this video, helped me massively! My hot tub is now had its initial chlorine shock treatment and waiting 2 hours with a coffee!

[joemcclelland]

Can’t thank you enough, for putting these videos together, made the whole process, straight forward!

[lucyp]

This has been really helpful for us! We are struggling to maintain chlorine levels - would be great to see follow up video discussed on longer term maintenance and keeping costs low.

I live in a hard water area and after filling my Miami hot tub the pH and total alkalinity were off the chart. I had the chemical starter kit and instructions said to add 1.5 teaspoons of pH minus daily until levels were correct. I added 1.5 teaspoons and nothing happened, later added another 1.5, still no change. I found a guide and calculator online that said I need around 100g (14 teaspoons) to fix the levels. I added this large quantity and bingo! Everything was in the right spot. If I had followed the instructions in the kit it would have taken 10 days to get it right.
If you live in an area with chalky hard water and be aware that you may need to add a lot of pH minus to bring down the alkalinity.

This is by far the single most useful hot tub video I have watched, thank you very much!

[SarahBaker-qt]

I am new to the Lay-z-Spa party this summer but am finding the videos really helpful in learning the basics - thank you!

[kathryndalton]

Keep putting these same ones on so I remember next spring. Thankyou

Wish I’d seen this a fortnight ago - my little boy got a skin infection from our hot tub! This was much easier to follow than the given instructions. I’m gonna empty our tub and start again - thanks
