Tips for inflatable hot tubs in Ireland
- Set it up on a flat, smooth surface with an insulated ground mat.

- Keep the lid strapped on whenever it is not in use.
- Many models should not heat below around 4°C outside: check the manual before winter.
- Use an RCD-protected outdoor socket and never an extension lead.
