Set-up, in Wave's own steps

Tool-free: from unboxed to fully set up in under 20 minutes.

Five steps from the inflatable manual, and the setup videos
  1. Unpack the spa in a warm environment so the liner stays flexible, and lay the outer liner on a flat, even surface clear of sharp objects; Wave recommends its insulating foam mat underneath.
  2. Plug in to a suitable wall socket.
  3. Press BUBBLE on the controller to inflate; press it again once the spa is firm.
  4. Screw the filter cartridge onto the inlet connector, clockwise until hand tight, and add the filter protector cover.
  5. Fill and start up: the Wave knowledge base has setup videos for unboxing to inflation, connecting the pump and heater, and filling and first start-up.

What runs it

Cold weather, the plug, the filters and the running cost, in Wave's own words
  • Built in Anti Freeze Protection when the temperature drops below 5°C (41°F), on the inflatable and eco foam tubs.
  • 5m power cable with an RCD plug for external sockets; Certification: UKCA Approved; temperature lock and lid closures.
  • Screw-on/threaded filters, as listed in the technical specs of each spa.
  • Inflatable spas (Atlantic, Pacific, Aegean, Ontario), from the Running Cost block of each product page: "An inflatable spa can use approximately 16 kWh daily. In the UK, with an electricity rate of 30p per kWh, this translates to: £4.80 per day for an inflatable spa (16 kWh x 30p)".
  • Foam spas (Tahoe, Garda, Como), same block: "A foam spa can use approximately 8 kWh daily. In the UK, with an electricity rate of 30p per kWh, this translates to: £2.40 per day for a foam spa (8 kWh x 30p)". The Adriatic frame spa carries the same 8 kWh figure.
