Hello everybody 'Lurgs' here welcome to my channel and today
how to set up the LAY-Z-SPA we'll have you relaxing in no time
These Bestway LAY-Z-SPA's are a nice bit of kit this is the LAY-Z-SPA that I'm gonna be setting
up today and the picture on the front is four of the tiniest adults you're ever likely to bump into
this LAY Z SPA is perfect for one ideal for two not too bad for three but four is a bit of a push
unless you're very close a quick health and safety warning don't ever be tempted to plug it into a
long extension lead like this because the spa uses a lot of power and this will get extremely hot so
make sure you plug it into the correct main socket if in any doubt contact your local electrician.
And I've already unboxed everything here make sure that you put your LAY Z SPA on something
nice and soft this one is on a patio so I've just laid down some rubber matting or anything
like yoga mats or that children's matting that you plug together like puzzles would be ideal,
the clever thing about this package is the LAY Z SPA unit can pump itself up so you've got
this pipe here so let's get this connected you can of course use your own air inflation device
but if you haven't got one you can use the LAY Z SPA device here
so you need to screw this pipe work in it's just off it up to the edge of the pipe there
and then tighten that up, whilst I'm doing that there's a link above about how to defrost your
freezer in under 15 minutes, and then the other end is to pump up the actual LAY Z SPA
now in the instructions it says stick it in this hole but I can't even see what hole that is
hopeless it's actually this one here so if you unscrew the outer cap when you come to deflate
it that whole unit unscrews so if that does come off you can just screw that back in so
just unscrew the cap put the end of the pipe in there put that in your pipe and smoke it
so that is ready then we'll plug the LAY Z SPA into the mains
and you may need to press this reset button
that will give the LAY Z SPA power
what you need to do first is just make sure it's on so just hold down that power button and we're
ready now press the bubbles button at the bottom that's normally used for bubbles that is blowing
air into that pipe and pumping up the LAY Z SPA and don't be tempted to block up those holes
around the exit of that pipe there because that is there as a safety device to stop you
over inflating your LAY Z SPA and popping it so don't worry you've got lots of air coming out of
the bottom now I'll just speed this footage up to four times it's actually really quick to inflate
it's a really ingenious way of doing it saves you getting out all your pumps or if
you haven't got a pump it's absolutely ideal now with this just keep going
Whilst I'm doing that there's a link above about
how to keep your curtains super smooth on the curtain rails that is a top tip
and then squeeze it until it feels like it's nice and solid
it takes between three to five minutes to fully inflate
that's now pretty much fully inflated
you can just turn it off now remember that the padlock icon comes on after about three
minutes so you may have to unlock the LAY Z SPA keypad, I've turned the bubbles off
unscrew this pipe work just pull it out it's got a valve in there so it won't start deflating
then just tighten that lid up
now don't pack away that pipe work just yet because we're going to pump up the cover
pump up the cover pump up the cover yeah [awful singing]
so put that in the cover
and again press the bubbles on the keypad and start inflating it but don't fully inflate this
just get it reasonably inflated and then you're going to be putting it
inside the cover which goes over the top of it
again I'll speed this footage up
and here is the outer cover so that's going to sit inside if you pump it up
too much you won't be able to fit it in so let's just stop it at this point
then put it inside the outer cover it just tucks inside
once it's tucked inside you can then put the pipe back in and carry on inflating it
just letting a bit more air out of this
okay then plug the pipe back in and then fully inflate that
now this one when you take it out will
start deflating so you need to get that cap on pretty quickly
fabulous bubbles off
so that is the cover inflated and the LAY Z SPA inflated it's my phone! Okay I'm back after
answering my phone sorry about that obviously the LAY Z SPA cover won't sit inside because
there's no water in it, will just fall to the bottom but when it is full of water you've got
these clips these are child safety clips and I'll show you how those work later on now we
can unscrew this pipe and we can start getting all the rest of the pipework ready for the LAY Z SPA.
unscrew this cap here
put that somewhere safe probably inside the box if you're going to keep the box
you've got these three pipeworks here which all need to be tightened up so move the LAY Z SPA
towards the big unit here make sure you've got it exactly where you want it the LAY Z SPA isn't
that heavy so it's quite easy just to manoeuvre around and you know when astronauts dock onto
the international space station this is what this feels like trying to get it all connected,
and let's hope we don't ever hear this 'Houston we have a problem'. I'm just
going to get this top one in this is part of the water filtration system and the heating system
so get these pipe work screws tightened up
remember these are only plastic threads so don't go absolutely crazy with these
don't ever try and put a tool on them just do them hand tight as tight as you can get them
and then we've just got the big one at the back at the bottom which is what does the bubbles
fabulous so just pull the LAY Z SPA close to that
and then get that tightened up now there's not much room in this one at the bottom and
I've got quite big hands and I'm struggling to get in here big hands and sausage fingers
but whatever you do don't try and force the thread if it doesn't feel like it's going on naturally
then don't carry on it should just go on very easily and there we go look
just rolling it around with my thumb it's going on nice and easy and just tighten that up hand tight
so that is all three pipe works all screwed up nice and tight
we just give the unit and the LAY Z SPA a bit of a wiggle just to
make sure they're all nice and just to make sure they're not stressed
just one final check
fabulous
you get two filters with the LAY Z SPA so here's the filter unit here
place the filter inside put the cover on
and then lock it in with this screw cap here
and again these are all plastic threads so do not force this this should go on very naturally,
talking of filters there's a link above now about how to clean the filter on your LAY Z SPA
that just makes it last a little bit longer and saves you having to buy a new one
the filter system goes on the bottom here that's just a cover put that somewhere safe
it doesn't screw on it just pops off and I can't stress enough again plastic threads
don't force it should just go on very very naturally just turn it clockwise tighten it up
and that one is done next is the ChemConnect
which is how the chlorine gets dissolved into your LAY Z SPA
and the ChemConnect does it a specific rate so it helps keep the pool nice and clean
and I've got these clearway multi-function chlorine tablets here which are absolutely
fantastic I've got 50 of these, to undo the cover on the ChemConnect
just unscrew it anti-clockwise and lift the cover off take one of the tablets
and just lay it inside here
put the lid back on it just slides down into one of the grooves there
and then to lock it into place turn it clockwise that is now locked
but on this ChemConnect you can actually select the amount of chlorine which goes into
your LAY Z SPA so it's locked into this position here but if you turn it far to the right that's
the minimum amount of chlorine and if you turn it slightly to the left that allows more chlorine to
go into your LAY Z SPA so it's up to you how much chlorine you want in your LAY Z SPA depends how
many people are using it now to put it on it's got a small divot here you push it in
and then you twist it clockwise and then it just locks into position on those red bars
again don't force it this is all plastic you should just feel it push into the groove
and then you're turning it clockwise about 45 degrees not far
and you'll feel it just lock into place
there we go that simple then you can adjust the ChemConnect from the front if you want to
I'm just going to leave it on the minimum setting then we can start filling it with water
Oh I said water Lurgs! Make sure you use fresh tap water obviously don't ever be tempted to
use water from a water butt why would you but just in case because that will be full of dirt.
Now I haven't got a particularly great flow rate on this hose
which is going to take quite a while probably three to four hours there's two cup holders here
it's filling up slowly and mains cold tap water is about
17 degrees centigrade (summer temperature) pretty chilly
now the first time you use it you might have to press
this reset button on the side but I actually didn't have to
now we're almost full up this is about two or three hours later now you want it above the
minimum but below the maximum obviously don't ever turn on the spa if there's no water in it.
you don't want to go above the maximum because if you get four people in here
it's literally just going to flood straight over the side
so that's perfect on the max now we're going to put the cover on while we're heating it up
it's a good idea to put the cover on when the heating's on that just helps it to heat up quicker
unless of course it's an absolutely baking hot day and the sun's beating down then you could have the
heating on without the cover on, I'm just going to put the cover on here now you've got these
child safety clips to stop children unclipping it and accidentally falling in the LAY Z SPA
and I'll show you how these clips work they're
almost like normal clips but they've just got an extra bit you have to push
which is the child safety element
so to clip it in just push it upwards
and then to adjust the strap just pull it at the
back and that tightens it down so just do that all the way around the LAY Z SPA
to undo it you push that button at the top and squeeze the sides and that's the child
safety device to stop children unclipping it, so just remember when you're doing that
now we're ready to turn the heating on as I stressed earlier don't ever use an extension
lead for this because it will overheat so to turn it on just hold the power button in for
2-3 seconds that lights up the keypad that is the temperature at the top of the current water
then turn on the heating in the water filtration system by pressing these two buttons here then
select your desired temperature goes up to 40 degrees I find 40 degrees is way too hot
38 is perfect if it's in the summer and it's a nice day 35 is perfect 38 generally seems to
be about the perfect temperature 40 degrees is way too hot and when you climb in you're kind of going
oh ah oh too hot, check any pipe work make sure you've got no leaks there shouldn't be any leaks
and it's already risen by one degree already after three or four minutes the keypad will lock
so remember to press the unlock button if you want to do anything on the keypad if you think
why isn't it working it's because it's locked itself, little hand says it's time to rock and
roll, so I'm just going to check the temperature every few hours here now we're up to 26 degrees
just check my Point Break watch again oh love this watch
29 degrees
10 to 3 in the afternoon the sun's out 35 degrees jackpot, fantastic now we can take the cover off
and as it's a baking hot day there's a link above about how to use your car air conditioning super
efficiently and get it super cold really quickly, and we're almost ready to get in
remember to unclip it all and push the button at the top the child safety device
go all the way around and unclip everything now I find when you take this cover off lay
it down somewhere that's not dirty but lay it down the way it sits on the spa otherwise if
you lay it the other way up you'll get lots of flies and that's sitting on it and dirt
now remember if you're going to be going in your LAY Z SPA to take off the ChemConnect because you
don't want the chlorine pumping around the LAY Z SPA spa while you're in it so just unclip that by
turning it anti-clockwise put that somewhere safe now we're ready to get in oh yes oh oh
superb oh remember to take your t-shirt off Lurgs!
it's a beautiful hot summer's day
see what I mean I'm just a pretty regular size
perfect for one perfect for two three's okay but four people in here is a bit of a squash oh look
at this I think Daisy wants to come and join me actually but it's not for doggies no no no,
and normally I'd have a Prosecco or Beer at this point but let's just have a lovely cup of tea!
I hope you found that useful up here is a link on how to change your filter on your LAY Z SPA
and over on this side there's a link on how to clean your filter on your LAY Z SPA
that just makes it last a little bit longer thanks for visiting my channel. 'Lurgs'.
