It inflates and deflates super quickly. It doesn&#8217;t heat well \/ fast, though. You really need to fill it with hot water &#8211; our tank is a mere 60 gallons, so it&#8217;s three or four cycles of fill \/ wait \/ fill \/ wait, and even then you need to wait a few hours for it to hit a comfortable 100. I mean, when it&#8217;s -5C out it could be a pretty cold tub and still be more pleasant than the outside air, but it&#8217;s a thing.<br \/>\nOnce in, the temperature plummets, too. After about an hour you drop down to 97 from 104. Hopefully in the summertime it&#8217;s more consistent, since it won&#8217;t be working so hard to stay warm.<br \/>\nAll in all though, I&#8217;m pretty pleased with it. Portable hot tub.
