- Owners wanting LED/app/water jets
The full picture
The 4-person PureSpa Plus is Intex's mainstream, right-sized value tub: 140 bubble jets, a 6.4-foot round footprint, and the built-in heater pump, all at a friendly price. It heats to 104°F on Intex's Fiber-Tech 3-ply construction and runs off a simple touch panel. It skips the LED and hard-water extras of the Greywood Deluxe to hit a lower price, making it a strong pick for a household of three or four who want a proven, no-frills soak without overspending. Like the rest of the category it's air-jet only and heats slowly, but as a straightforward, affordable 4-person spa from a trusted brand, it's an easy recommendation.

The in-depth review
The 4-person PureSpa Plus is Intex's mainstream, right-sized value tub — a straightforward soak without the extras or the higher price.
Right-sized and affordable
It offers 140 bubble jets, a 6.4-foot round footprint, and the built-in heater pump, heating to 104°F on Intex's Fiber-Tech 3-ply construction with a simple touch panel. It deliberately skips the LED and hard-water extras of the Greywood Deluxe to hit a lower price, which makes it a strong pick for a household of three or four who want a proven soak without overspending.
The honest limits
It's air-jet only, has no LED, app, or hard-water system, and heats slowly like every inflatable spa. The small filter clogs quickly and needs frequent changing. None of that is a knock at this price — it's a no-frills tub that nails the basics.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the Greywood Deluxe 4-person?
It’s the value version — same 4-person size and 140 jets, but it skips the LED lighting, headrests, and hard-water treatment to hit a lower price. If you don’t need those extras, it delivers the same soak for less.
How many people fit?
Three to four adults comfortably. It’s the classic mid-size — roomier than a couples tub, smaller than the 6-person models.
Does it have a built-in heater?
Yes — the pump unit inflates, filters, and heats. Like all inflatable spas, it heats slowly (a few hours from cold) and can’t heat while the jets run.
Air jets or water jets?
140 AirJets (air bubbles). For a targeted water-jet massage, you’d need a HydroJet model such as the Bestway Hawaii.
Is it good value?
Yes — it’s one of the more affordable ways into a trusted-brand 4-person spa. You give up ambiance and convenience features, not core function.
What maintenance does it need?
Balanced chlorine/bromine and pH plus frequent cartridge-filter changes — standard for the category. Keep the included cover on to hold heat and control cost.
