Review Digest. I think this Lay-Z-Spa is the better-looking version of the series because it’s unique and stands out! Perfect for a bigger family that comfortably fits four adults! Maybe five small children!
Reviewers Experience and Tips
- From cold fill, it can take up to 12 hours to reach its maximum 40 °C
- It costs on average £16 to initially warm and then £2 a week to keep it at top temperature
- Filters should be changed or clean weekly, to keep it clean and safe
- For the best water treatment, we found there was no difference from cheaper chlorine to more expensive brands!
Technical Details
It holds around 965 liters of water which is considerably more than other versions in this range excluding the Monaco range! The Palm Springs Lay-Z-Spa provides higher (10cm+) walls in the series, so you get a better position especially if you’re over 6 foot!
- Easily blown-up with the machine provided taking approximately 3/4 minutes
- Maximum Temputerur 40 °C x 12 hours cold
- 120 air jets for the best massage experience in the range
Positives
- More spacious model
- Higher back + 10cm
- Good Color (light brown)
- Strong PVC lining
- Comfortable and padded floor
- The attachable lid and inflatable insert
- Great for massaging effect x 120 jets
Negatives
- Initial £12 heating bill taking 9 hours from a cold fill
- £4 a week after that to keep at the desired temperature
- 3/4 hours to fill
- NOT suitable for decking
- Be careful of washing powder on your clothes because this can cause serious bubble/frothy issues!
Personal review
“The Palm Springs Lay-Z-Spa is the better model with stronger lining and a more durable three-layer PVC lining. It fits four adults five at a push but not ideal! I found this model took longer to warm but was worth the wait because it was excellent when the pumps were turned on.
Simple to manage and easy to empty, so, be careful with flooding the garden. I found when emptying to remove the bung at the bottom of the hot tub for five minutes and then closing it again for 5 minutes because the amount of water that is released flooded my garden the first time around.”

Its been a little over 3 years since I purchased my Lay–Spa and I have found it to heat and pump just like new. Its been in the garden all winter. It’s great for after a workout hot or cold!
Main Features
Bigger Size And Capacity, With a massive 963 liters of water when filled to the safety mark, you will have much more water to cover yourself in lovely bubbles! Measuring just under 2 meters when fully inflated at (196 centimeters).
Safety features. Once the lid has been secured, it must be released with the three-way clip system. Which helps avoid any accidents should any children try and open the top without being supervised by an adult!
Heating system. One of the things we like about the Lay-Z-Spa is the durability of their pumps and filters. You can set the max temp to 40°C which is relatively HOT! Especially on those summer days; I usually set mine to 35/6 especially if the kids are going to be using it.
Filter system. One of the best on the market! It pumps over a 1000 liters an hour so, after a party, afternoon activity or morning soak you can pump and remove any debris very quickly, and it will be back to crystal clear again in no time!
The Warranty
Yes, Lay–Z-Spa offer all brand new purchases a one year warranty, with Uk support centers to help you in case something goes wrong. Or you experience a split seem, missing part or faulty pump! These issues have been reported on occasions!
Setting Up The Palm Springs Lay-Z-Spa
The self-inflating and straightforward how-to guide come with every Spa! Always read the leaflet and make sure you clean the area the spa is going to cover! Remove stones, pebbles, wood chips or anything that might puncture the inflatable spa! Always use a flat surface and never overfill because once four adults get inside the water will overflow very fast.
Add the chlorine in the floater provided and use test strips if needed. It can take around 15 to 24 hours to reach maximum temperature and 3 to 4 hours of filling depending on the water pressure in your local area!

Pros
- Good Product
- Easy To Setup
- Value For Money
Cons
- Noisy
- Little Expensive
Amazing product with many years of enjoyment. Yes, they will not last forever especially with kids jumping all over the place. I have replaced the filter/motor twice because it stopped working (5 years). Customer support is great and they are happy to replace or sell you a single part if needed. The cheaper models I have seen cannot live up to the quality of the these bubble spas1
Great product, we have had the Palm Springs setup since the last year and have been using it throughout! Well impressed and big enough for all the kids. We love our spa. Although it is extremely hot when set to max! Well worth the money, just keep the filter clean because it can block up in a few days of constant use!
Great product that was easy to set up, but I did experience some fading after a year of sitting in the garden. The ring around the top is also very easy to pop. I tried repairing with the kit provided but it was not strong enough and had to use one from my puncture repair kit. Well worth the money but be careful of popping, remove rings and any jewelry as these will tear the rubber!
