Setup Guide
Setting up your Lay-Z-Spa Rome is designed to be straightforward thanks to its built-in pump and one-touch inflation system. Ensure you have a flat, stable surface for placement.
1. Unpacking and Placement
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Choose a suitable location that is level, free from sharp objects, and can support the weight of the hot tub when filled with water and occupants. Ensure access to a power outlet.
2. Inflation
Connect the inflation hose to the hot tub's air valve and the built-in pump. Activate the inflation function (often by pressing the jet button as described by users) to inflate the hot tub until it is firm to the touch but not overinflated. The UltraFit built-in pump simplifies this process.

3. Water Filling
Once inflated, close all drain valves. Fill the hot tub with fresh water using a garden hose until the water level is between the minimum and maximum fill lines indicated on the interior of the hot tub. Ensure the filter cartridge is properly installed before filling.

Freeze Shield Technology
For use in colder climates or during winter, the pioneering Freeze Shield technology automatically activates the heater when the ambient temperature drops too low, preventing water from freezing and damaging the hot tub components.
Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and optimal performance of your Lay-Z-Spa hot tub. This includes water treatment, filter cleaning/replacement, and general cleaning of the tub.
- Water Quality: Regularly test and adjust water chemistry (pH, chlorine/bromine levels) to ensure safe and clean water. Follow guidelines for your chosen water treatment system.
- Filter Cartridge: Clean the filter cartridge frequently (e.g., daily or every other day depending on usage) by rinsing it with a hose. Replace cartridges every 1-2 weeks or when visibly soiled to maintain filtration efficiency.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the interior and exterior surfaces of the hot tub with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Drain and refill the hot tub as recommended by water treatment guidelines, typically every 1-3 months depending on usage.
- Cover Care: Keep the insulating lid and top cover clean and properly secured when the hot tub is not in use to prevent debris entry and maximize heat retention.
