Heating System Performance

The Round Fiji utilizes advanced heating technology reaching maximum 104°F temperatures efficiently. During testing, the unit achieved target temperature within 24-48 hours depending on ambient conditions. The integrated Freeze Shield heating prevents component damage in cold weather, though operation below 39°F is not recommended.

Massage Jet System

With 120 strategically positioned bubble jets, the therapeutic massage experience rivals traditional hard-shell spas. The jet distribution provides comprehensive coverage for 2-4 adults, with sufficient pressure for deep muscle relaxation. Each jet delivers consistent airflow for optimal hydrotherapy benefits.

Durability Assessment

The DuraPlus 3-layer construction demonstrates superior resilience with 33% puncture resistance and 56% stretch resistance compared to standard inflatable spas. Material testing reveals excellent UV stability and chlorine resistance, ensuring longevity with proper maintenance.

Setup and Portability

Installation requires minimal technical expertise. The included pump inflates the structure in approximately 20-30 minutes. The compact storage footprint makes it ideal for seasonal use or renters who cannot install permanent fixtures.

Site Preparation

Choose level ground, clear debris. Lay protective ground cloth. Ensure 6-foot clearance around perimeter.

Inflation Process

Connect pump to inflation valve. Inflate to firm touch (not rock-hard). Process takes 20-30 minutes.

Water Fill & Heat

Fill to 80% capacity (177 gallons). Install filter cartridges. Begin heating process (24-48 hours to temperature).

Chemical Balance

Add chemicals using included floater. Test pH (7.2-7.6) and sanitizer levels. Install EnergySense cover when not in use.

How long does heating take?

Initial heating requires 24-48 hours depending on ambient temperature and starting water temperature. Subsequent reheating after use takes 6-12 hours with the energy-efficient cover in place.

What’s included in the package?

Complete package includes the spa, EnergySense cover, pump/heater unit, chemical floater, two VI filter cartridges, repair patch, and 6-foot power cord. No additional purchases required for operation.

Can it be used year-round?

The spa operates effectively in temperatures above 39°F. Freeze Shield heating protects components, but winter storage is recommended in climates with extended freezing periods.

How often should filters be replaced?

Filter cartridges should be cleaned weekly and replaced every 2-4 weeks depending on usage frequency and bather load. Additional VI cartridges are available separately.

What’s the power consumption?

The EnergySense design reduces energy consumption by 40% compared to standard models. Typical operation costs $3-7 per day depending on local electricity rates and ambient temperature.
