Had ours 3 years . No problems , does what it says it will , a bit expensive to run , but all ok .
Keep the chlorine level up and filter clean and always go in naked as clothing will allow the foam to rise .  |

we have been looking at these too, we think for the cost of them it would be worth getting even if it only lasts a year or two, everone we have spoke to who has lazyspas all seem to have different ideas on the cost of them to run,
they do not have the powerfull pumps like the solid ones but are ok for relaxing in.
we know a few people who have the proper solid types, they can be very expensive to fix when they go wrong and if you have just paid a few thousand to buy it a large maintainance or repair bill can hurt the pocket |

We love ours but its expensive to run luckily we use a meter so could see how much its costing would of been shocked had we used it loads then for the bill quarterly to of dropped through the door 
Theres lots of extras to buy too but they r fab. Agree about the clothes tho ours keeps getting foamy when the jets r on |

when we get out we turn it down to 37, about 2hrs before we want to use it(the next day normally) put it back up to 40 this seams to keep the cost down |

Insulate it and the costs drop.
I've not got round to it yet but spoken to people who have and they are paying about a pound a day.
In terms of having one, it's definitely worth it. Good icebreaker for a social that might turn into play. |

It is cheaper to leave it at your preferred temp as heating up from cool is the costly part. |

We've been considering getting one for ages now! For the people leaving them on - how long are you keeping them heated for? Like a week solid? How often do you use it? And is the £5-£15 running cost based on leaving it heated all week long?
Thanks! |

We emptied and refilled ours this week used it today and it used £4.50 in electric to get it from 19 degrees to 33 degrees ! Thats for one days use !! Need to leave it on overnight and see how much it costs but tbh only gonna be using it a couple of times a week so not sure its gonna be worth leaving it on constantly |

We love ours
Set to 36/37 constantly and then 39/40 whilst using it
Around 7-10 pounds a week so not even a round of drinks
We have a hydro jet so tends to stay warmer for longer also compared to the bubble versions |

When we fill it up we use the hot tap so it's already hot (so no 24hr warming up using lots of electricity) , then after we have used it we turn it down to 37/36, and let it sit at that temp . Next time we want to use it we turn it upto 40, it only takes about 2hrs to get upto 40 , that's the cheapest way we have found to run it and it can be upto temp and ready to use in 2hrs, hope this helps and makes sense |

So when do you turn it off (if ever)? I’ve got one in the shed but I live alone now and get no action off here haha it won’t be out any time soon haha.
When does it need a water change?
I think I’m a few pipes short as well since a house move

We change the water about every two months, it can go longer if you keep the chemicals right and check it every day. And no we never turn it off its runs at 36 till we want to use it |

"36 thats pretty warm i feeo its a waste keeping it so warm all the time . scares me leaving it on all day and night "
It's cheaper to keep it at your perfered temp as the heating up costs and at 1°C an hour takes a while to get it up. |

We live in ours. We have solar so costs very little to use and run. We've had it 4 years without major issue until we had to replace a part which cost about 30 quid but loads of aggro to find which part |

We've had one for a few years. It's not permanently blown up and filled with water. We get it out on the patio when there's gonna be a good few days of clear sunny weather. After three or four days we either replenish the water or we drain it, clean it and dry it thoroughly before deflating and putting back in storage for the next sunny spell.
We've even had it out on the patio in the middle of winter when the weather is still, crisp and cold, perfect for sitting in the warm water looking up at the stars, before jumping out, doing snow angels and diving back in again.
It is one of the best things we've bought for the garden.
Just make sure you keep on top of the chlorine levels, filter and all will be well |

"Its the running cost that put me off, most say £20 to £40 a month. "
Just store it in the garage then blow it up, fill it up (we have a hose connector on hot water pipe so no need to wait until it’s heated up) and jump in. Then when the weekend is over or the weather turns shitty as it inevitably does, empty, clean, deflate and stick back in the garage until next time. It takes very little effort to get it up and running. |
