INTEX 28429EP PureSpa Plus Bubble Massage Spa Set: Includes – 2 Contoured Headrest – LED Light – 4 Person Capacity – 77" x 28"

For the price, you can’t beat this hot tub. Setup takes an hour (if you can follow simple directions!). Add water and you’re in business. I run mine (outdoors) off a regular120v extension cord. I’ve used it about 50 times without a hitch. You do have to keep the water clean with a simple spa chemistry kit, but that’s true of any tub. It holds its warmth well. I keep it 85 degrees, then turn it up to 100 about 5 hours before use. (My 210-gallon size warms at a rate of about 3 degrees per hour.)

Worth the money! I was hesitant on getting an inflatable tub, but didn't want to pay 1000s for a hardshell until confirming it would get used enough to justify it. After much research, and reading many product and customer reviews, I settled on this one. I was beyond impressed at this material. I knew it couldn't be "pool float" material, but wasn't expecting what I can only describe as kevlar with air in it! This thing is no joke! Most customer reviews I read that were negative, seemed to be related to the components that hook the heater / pump to the tub. Issues such as misalignment, leaking, etc. I don't give 5 stars for the instruction booklet, and wouldn't recommend self-install if you are not super handy with these types of things. My husband can build anything with his hands, and had this installed in under 2 hours, filling with water. Everything fit and aligned perfectly. Nothing did / nor has leaked since installing in late July, 2025. Again, instruction booklet was not the best, and there was some confusion on which outlets got the filters, and which was intended for the light. Turns out, the light (we're assuming) is meant to be on the outlet (where water returns back into the tub). Not only did the light not work properly at all, it also seemed to reduce the water's ability to return to the tub, so we just don't use it. We've had a pool for years, but never a hot tub. Our first fill ended up with what we learned was biofilm. Gross, gross, gross!! We're not sure how or why, but research did mention that the factories that produce the tubs, will run water through them to ensure they're working, and possibly are not drained/dried properly, leaving behind enough to grow bacteria, that when later filled and used by the new tub owner, could introduce bacteria that could lead to biofilm. Since we had only used it once before this showed up, it's a possibility. The chemical mix took a little bit of a learning curve, but once figured out, it is now virtually as easy as the pool. We use the bromine tablets instead of chlorine, but after a few uses, I will add a bit of regular bleach just to ensure nothing "grows". So far, so good. We did end up having to drain it and scrub it after the first incident with the biofilm. This is likely my only complaint with the tub. Where the drain plug is located. I understand the bottom of the tub makes sense, but since you don't want to be moving/rocking this thing around much after set up, we had to use a shop vac to get what didn't seem like much of the last of the water out, but it was. All in all, I would highly suggest this tub to anyone looking to try one! One thing to note, since I could not find this information anywhere when I was looking, when the tub is only in its heating / filtering state, (no bubbles going), there is very minimal visible water movement. Being used to a pool with highly pressurized water being returned into the pool, we wondered if the hot tub was operating at all. Don't expect this kind of water movement. Also, the filters need to be replaced fairly regularly. I have noticed though that one always seems worse than the other, and while I always put a new one in the "worse" one, washing out the not so bad one and re-using makes it last a little longer. More than happy to answer any questions someone may have about this tub before purchasing, or after the fact. Happy soaking!

WORST WORST WORST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER PURCHASES IN MY 60 YEAR LIFETIME........FROM DAY ONE I NOTICED SEVERAL DESIGN FLAWS, THE UNIT NOW LEAKS WATER AFTER ONLY 6 MONTHS OF USE AT BEST. THEY INTEX HAD TO REPLACE THE INSULATED COVER 2X IN 3 MONTHS BECAUSE OF A DESIGN FLAW THAT ALLOWS RAIN WATER AND OR SNOW TO GET INTO THE INSULATION MATERIAL AND MAKE IT USELESS AND EXTREMELY HEAVY DUE TO ALL THE WATER INTRUSION - THIS HAPPENED 2X BEFORE I DECIDED I NEEDED TO CAULK THE AIR INLET VALVE ON MY OWN. THE THE LIGHT LEAKS WATER AND CORRODES THE BATTERIES, THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EVERY WEEK OR SO - THE SEALS FOR THE LIGHT ARE NOT DESIGNED PROPERLY AND WATER WILL CONTINUE TO SEEP INTO THE LIGHT FIXTURE - INTEX WILL NOT REPLACE IT BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO REPLACE IT WITH - SO THEY ARE ADMITTING A SIGNIFICANT DESIGN FLAW ON THESE THINGS......NOW THE ENTIRE POOL LEAKS WATER FROM THE SEAMS ON THE BOTTOM ( There are no tears, rips, cuts, etc. - It just leaks from the circular seams).....SAVE YOUR $600.00 +++ AND GET A HARD SPA - NOT ONE OF THESE CHEAP MADE IN CHINA LOOK - A -LIKE WANNA BE TOYS - I AM WORKING TO GET A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT STARTED AGAINST INTEX ON THE MATTER MOREOVER THEY WILL NOT ASSIST YOU WITH PROBLEMS AND YOU CAN NEVER GET TO A SUPERVISOR, MANAGER, OR ANYONE THAT REALLY HAS THE CAPACITY TO LISTEN AND MORE IMPORTANTLY - HELP YOU !!!!! WOW - WHAT BS FOR SUCH A LARGE US COMPANY - PLEASE DO US A FAVOR INTEX AND GO OUT OF BUSINESS !!!!

Really, really happy with this purchase. I debated for over a year whether I needed this and decided to finally go for it. I missed out on a special buy by waiting but still feel that I got a good buy for the price which was a little over $500. The spa is incredibly durable and easy to set up. Inflation was quick as was filling with water. Starting temp of water was 74 once filled and it took about 28-30 hours to heat up to 104. We reduced the temp to 102 and when we keep it at 94 when no use is anticipated for awhile. We decided to build a simple, small “deck” on the patio to place it on in hopes of preventing our 3 large, clingy dogs from jumping up on the sides, the male dog from hiking his leg in it and to allow water from the hose spicket that is located behind the spa to be able to flow freely under the platform and not collect around the base of spa. Happy we did that because it works as intended and it also gives it a less temporary or portable use. Im able to take a water sample to my local pool store for a free water test and they provide me with directions on what is needed and amount of products to administer which makes the maintenance very simple. Friends of mine ruined their portable spa by using regular bleach to sanitize their water. The directions clearly state that doing so will ruin the spa pump. One of the pictures I’ve included with this review shows the chemical products necessary to maintain balanced and sanitized spa water. If you’re debating whether to buy this I would say, don’t delay. I missed out on a special deal by waiting but still feel I made a great purchase and got a good price at just around $500. One other thing I forgot to mention is that in addition to the inflatable, round cover with handles that you see in one of the pics, this tub also comes with a heavy, insulated cover that goes over the top and half way down the sides and secure in place by the clips on the sides. You won’t be disappointed by this purchase.

The hot tub is quite nice. It was fairly easy to assemble, not so much from the printed instructions included- but from Youtube. My son had it up and going in 45 min- then filled in less than 20 min. The instructions are vague and not model specific which is disappointing when you pay nearly $700 for a hot tub. The hot tub itself seems great, it's not a 4 person for sure- 3 women who are close friends, works fine. And enough room for a couple of course. But Not 2 couples- there is not enough leg room. The hot tub seems sturdy, is easy to manage. The lights are great. It's stays at the set temperature. My biggest issue is that the cover that came with it is NOT for this hot tub. There is not way to latch/lock the cover since it goes all the way to the ground and the buckles on the hot tub are located mid way between the top of the tub and the ground. It's not what is shown with the hot tub. There were no instructions on it. It is very heavy and cumbersome- too much for 1 person to handle. I purchased a lighter cheaper one from a different company so I can manage it. When I went on the Intex website, hoping to find the correct one for this hot tub- that would lock/latch and not be as heavy, they don't even carry the correct one for this hot tub. Overall a great purchase, but wasted money on accessory/cover that is NOT for the model I ordered. I'm curious why they would include a cover that doesn't fit or go with the model I purchased. Enjoying the hot tub alot though!

I have been wanting to get one of these for a few years but was skeptical. Well, I guess waiting paid off because this one is amazing. First of all the reviews that say it’s hard to set up, ignore that. My husband said it was easy Peezy. We started off setting at 105 and it maintains temperature quite nicely. We ended up lowering it. That’s a little hot for us with our warmer weather here in the south. Something will have to play around with. People have mentioned the cover is hard to put on OK ignore that review too. I am a complete wimp. I literally weighing under 110 pounds. I can put it on myself no problem. The bubbles are way better than we could’ve imagined. It’s almost like having a jetted hot tub. It feels wonderful on your back. The light in the hot tub is a fun added touch in the evening. And don’t think of this as a blowup like a pool. Its very hard once it’s blown up. Now, as far as the size, I would say three adults could sit with their back up against the side and their feet extended very easily. Four adults you’d have to be sitting crisscross applesauce, and six adults they all have to be on the smaller side. I honestly couldn’t imagine six adults) We bought it more for just my husband and and we fit the size perfect! When he’s not in it, I can actually put a small float in and relax and read my book. We are beyond thrilled with our purchase so far. if you’re thinking about getting this, definitely go for it you will not be disappointed..

So far so good. Love this. Had an issue and customer service was fabulous and quick. We have it at 104 in December when temps are very cold. And it works great. You lose about 3 degrees with 20 mins of bubbles.

The hot tub is super easy to set up. Heat is great and the jets are surprisingly good! The inner cover deflates pretty quickly, but it's not a big problem at all. All you have to do is give a few big breaths of air into it and it's inflated again. The outer cover is heavy duty and protects the tub completely. The light that came with it is gorgeous in the night time. Now onto the bad- After 3-4 days of ownership, use & chemical treatment, I have CONSTANT issues with the E-90 error (water flow). The big problem with this error is that when it comes up, it shuts the heat completely off, so if you've been heating the tub for a long period of time and it gets that error, you're going to have a lukewarm tub in no time at all. I've cleaned the filters multiple times, added chemicals to promote flow, unplugged and re-plugged the power in multiple times (temporary fix) and cannot fix this error from coming up. It may be that the filters need replacing, but I've only had it a couple weeks and I've cleaned the filters multiple times already, so I shouldn't have to buy a new filter every few days; THAT'S CRAZY. I'm still within my 30 day window of returning and am seriously considering sending it back because of this issue. This hot tub wasn't super cheap, so this really shouldn't be something I have to deal with ALL THE TIME. If this E-90 error wasn't an issue, I'd give this 5 stars, but I cannot in good faith give it anything above a 3, and even that might be too high because of the E-90.
