2. Safety Information
Adherence to safety guidelines is crucial for preventing injury and ensuring the longevity of your hot tub.
- Electrical Safety: Always ensure the power plug is dry before plugging it into an electrical outlet. Plugging in with a wet plug is strictly forbidden. The pump unit has a fairly long power cable with a built-in RCD (Residual Current Device).
- Water Safety: Do not use the hot tub if you have moisturiser or other skin lotions on, as this can lead to an oily film and foam when using the AirJet function.
- Children and Pets: Always replace the cover when not in use. The hot tub is deep enough for pets or unsupervised children to drown in.
- Weight Capacity: The hot tub will weigh over a tonne when filled with water and people. Ensure the surface it is placed on (e.g., decking) can support this weight.
- Structural Integrity: The pool is sturdy, but avoid sitting or putting excessive weight on the edges.
3. Setup Guide
Setting up your Lay-Z-Spa Miami AirJet is designed to be straightforward.
3.1 Site Preparation
- Choose a flat, stable surface capable of supporting the hot tub's weight when filled.
- It is recommended to place a mat or protector underneath the hot tub to prevent damage and provide insulation. Interlocking foam tiles can also be used for added comfort and insulation.
3.2 Inflation and Assembly
The hot tub features a tool-free setup and can be inflated quickly.
- Unpack all components from the box.
- Connect the pump unit to the hot tub. The pump unit also serves as the inflator.
- Activate the inflation function on the pump. The hot tub will inflate in under 5 minutes.
- Inflate the detachable top cover as well.
- Ensure all connections between the hot tub and the pump unit are secure.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is vital for water quality, hygiene, and the lifespan of your hot tub.
5.1 Water Chemistry
- You must regularly check and balance the water chemistry to prevent algae growth and ensure safe use. This includes adjusting free chlorine, pH, and alkalinity.
- Detailed instructions for chemical balancing are included with your hot tub.
- Always test the water with testing strips before each use.
5.2 Filter Cartridge
- The filter cartridge should be changed after the first 24 hours of use.
- Subsequently, change the filter frequently, at least weekly, especially with regular use.
- Clean the filter regularly by rinsing it with water.
5.3 Water Changes
- The water should be changed periodically, especially after frequent use.
- You can extend the time between water changes by showering before use and ensuring the surrounding ground is clean.
- If the water appears murky and cannot be cleared with chemicals, drain, clean, and refill the hot tub.
- Emptying the hot tub through the drain plug can take a significant amount of time; a pump may be used for faster draining.
5.4 Cleaning
- Scoop out any leaf matter or insects from the water.
- Clean the interior and exterior surfaces of the hot tub as needed.
