Inflatable hot tub - How much to spend for it to be worth it?

[TimeGoesBySoSlowlyForThoseWhoWait]

Decided we might need an inflatable hot tub! But one that has a filter/isn’t a germ pond/can be emptied and refilled regularly. Any recommendations? Anything to avoid or things we need to consider? No idea where to start!

We’ve got a Lay-Z-Spa, inflatable with a filter, and we treat the water with chemicals. We have it up from the end of May through to October then empty it and box it up for the winter. This is our 4th year using it - we absolutely LOVE it. We switch it off overnight to reduce the electricity use. We switch it back on in the morning to heat up for use in the afternoon.
Definitely worth getting the mat to put it on (like the kids plastic playmats that click together) as this helps prevents punctures, and we’ve made an insulated extra layer for the lid (out of foil camping mats and a tarp) to help keep the heat in to reduce the heating costs. Bestway and Intec are also very good. I think you can get the filters and bits at B&M or online.

I wouldn't bother.. Bound to be a let down...

We also had a Lazy spa, but sadly it was too loud to tolerate - the constant hum went through our heads and seemed to resonate throughout the back of the house and most of the garden, it was driving us insane even on a mat and with the pump/heater on its own rubber mat.

Friends have a non -inflatable which seems to not be as loud as the Lazyspa and luckily for them their neighbours garden is a bit further away than ours were - which was another reason for us to get rid of it as I was very conscious we were ruining the peace and quiet !
