Ideal for
- Larger households wanting comfort features
- Hard-water areas
- Evening/group soaks
Not ideal for
- Couples (too big)
- Fast heat-up / low running cost
The full picture
The 6-person Greywood Deluxe is Intex's do-everything large tub: it combines the genuine group capacity of the PureSpa Plus 6-person (85-inch tub, 290 gallons, 170 jets) with the comfort features of the Greywood line — LED lighting, headrests, and a built-in hard-water treatment system. It heats to 104°F on Fiber-Tech construction and runs off a touch panel rather than an app. For a larger household that also wants ambiance and hard-water protection, it bundles the most useful extras into one big tub. The tradeoffs are the usual big-spa ones: slower heating and higher running cost for all that water, and air jets rather than targeted water jets.

The in-depth review
The 6-person Greywood Deluxe is Intex's do-everything large tub — big, and loaded with the useful extras.
Everything in one tub
It combines genuine group capacity (85-inch tub, 290 gallons, 170 jets) with the comfort features of the Greywood line: LED lighting, headrests, and a built-in hard-water treatment system. It heats to 104°F on Fiber-Tech construction. For a larger household that also wants ambiance and hard-water protection, it bundles the most useful extras into a single big tub instead of making you choose.
The size tradeoffs
The downsides are the usual big-spa ones: 290 gallons heats slowly and costs more to hold at temperature, so cover discipline and shelter matter. It's air-jet only — bubbles, not targeted water jets — and runs off a touch panel rather than an app.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the PureSpa Plus 6-person?
Same big capacity and jet count, but the Greywood Deluxe adds comfort features — LED lighting and headrests — along with the hard-water treatment system and the greywood finish. It’s the loaded version of the large Intex.
Does it fit six adults?
It’s among the largest here at 85 inches and 290 gallons, so yes for a group, though six is still snug. For four it’s roomy.
What does the hard-water system do?
It reduces water hardness as water circulates, protecting the heater from scale and softening the water feel — genuinely useful if your fill water is hard.
Does it cost a lot to run?
More than a small tub — 290 gallons takes energy to heat and hold. Diligent cover use and a sheltered location are the main ways to keep costs reasonable at this size.
Air jets or water jets?
170 AirJets (air bubbles). For targeted water-jet massage, look at a HydroJet model instead.
Is setup difficult for a tub this big?
No — it inflates with the included pump like the smaller models; it just takes a bit longer to inflate, fill, and heat given the size. The steps are the same.
