UK Hose Pipe Bans Hot tubs and
spas are NOT covered
by any hose pipe ban
and so can be filled
in the usual way.
The spa is used for
Health reasons under
the heading of
medical equipment
and so is not
considered a leisure
product – therefore
they are exempt!
Now you can enjoy a
relaxing spa without
the need for a
costly or permanent
installation. The
Lay-Z-Spa is
manufactured by Bestway and is
completely portable
taking just 10
minutes to assemble.
(Filling and heating
of water takes
longer)
The Bestway
Lay-Z-Spa is a fully
portable spa, no
need for permanent
installation
throughout the year.
Just empty the water
out and fit it back
in its box. Most
garden spa cost in
the region of
£4,000, this one can
be up and running in
your garden for just ! Be
the envy of your
neighbours.
Once assembled the
Lay z Spa automated
control system will
circulate the water,
heat it up to 40°C
and force it through
the 80 turbo micro
air jets. The
combined heater and
pump unit has a
digital display and
simply plugs into a
normal household
240V socket. This
Lay-z-spa not only
circulates and heats
the water but also
cycles the water
through the built in
filtration system.
The pump unit is
also used to inflate
the pool itself
saving time and
effort. The pool
also comes complete
with a soft locking
cover which
insulates the water
as well as keeping
unwanted debris from
the spa when not in
use.

For the safety of
all users we
recommend that
correct sanitisation
procedures are
followed using one
of the
following chemicals,
kits can be added by
using the drop downs
above.
There are two types
of sanitisers you
can use in a spa:
Bromine
Bromine is the most
widely used
sanitiser for hot
tubs and spas as it
is less volatile at
the high
temperatures which
spas operate and
does not form smelly
by products. Bromine
is normally supplied
as white tablets,
bromo-chloro-dimethyl
hydantoin (BCDMH),
which are placed in
a floating
dispenser.
BCDMH
should not be added
directly to the spa
or through a
skimmer. The
dispenser is
adjusted to give a
bromine level
between 3 and 6 pm.
Stabilised Chlorine
Stabilised Chlorine
can be used in spas
in the same way as
pools. In order to
stop chlorine being
broken down by
sunlight it is
combined with a
stabiliser. The
stabiliser is
cyanuric acid.
Cyanuric acid can be
added separately or
more commonly it is
supplied as
stabilised chlorine
granules or tablets.
The problem with all
stabilised chlorine
products is that as
well as stopping the
sunlight breaking
down the chlorine
they also make the
chlorine less
effective. Therefore
it is important not
to get too much
cyanuric acid in the
water. This is
unlikely to be a
problem in a
domestic spa or hot
tub which should be
drained every month.
