If you’ve been searching for an affordable way to enjoy hydrotherapy at home, the WAVESPAS inflatable spa line deserves your attention. After testing the Bali model for two weeks, here’s our honest take.
Build Quality & Design
WAVESPAS uses a triple-layer puncture-resistant PVC material that feels sturdier than many competitors. The Bali model’s round shape fits neatly on a patio or deck, and the included insulated cover helps maintain temperature. The digital control panel is intuitive, with buttons for jets, heat, and LED lights.
Jet Performance
With 130 air jets, the Bali provides a soothing massage experience. The jets are adjustable via the pump, allowing you to customize intensity. While not as powerful as a permanent hot tub, they deliver excellent relaxation for the price point. For more jet options, check out our WAVESPAS comparison guide.
Heating & Energy Use
Heating from tap water to 104°F took about 8 hours in 70°F ambient temperature – standard for inflatable spas. The unit maintains temperature well thanks to the insulated cover. Energy consumption averaged 1.5 kWh per day, making it surprisingly efficient.
What We Love
- Quick setup: Inflates in under 5 minutes
- LED lighting: Creates a beautiful ambiance at night
- Affordability: A fraction of the cost of permanent spas
- Warranty: 1-year coverage on pump and liner
Room for Improvement
