Bestway / Lay-Z-Spa Hollywood AirJet dimensions and water capacity
The short version
Expect the Bestway / Lay-Z-Spa Hollywood AirJet to take about 240 gallons at a normal fill. It spans 77 inches across and 26 inches tall, carries a 4 to 6 person rating, and lands near 3,187 lb once water and bathers are in.
Where it sits in the inflatable class
Set beside the 35 inflatable tubs we track (median 240 gallons, 77 inches across, 27 inches tall), it holds about the same water as the class median while measuring the same width as average. Per rated seat, that is 40 gallons of water.
Weight when filled
Add it up: 2,002 lb of water (240 gallons at 8.34 lb per gallon), and roughly 1,110 lb of people at capacity. The sum is about 3,187 lb pressing on 32.3 square feet, around 99 lb per square foot. Work out any tub on the filled weight calculator.
Monthly heating cost, estimated
Keeping this volume at 102 F against a 50 F average outdoor temperature takes about 6.2 kWh per day of heating. That is near $32 monthly at $0.17/kWh, spanning $23 to $47 across typical US rates. Model your own rate and climate on the running cost calculator.
Dosing the Hollywood AirJet
These amounts are pre-scaled to 240 gallons; weigh them out rather than eyeballing. All figures are ounces by weight.
| To do this | Chemical | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Raise total alkalinity +10 ppm | sodium bicarbonate | 0.58 oz |
| Raise free chlorine +3 ppm | dichlor granules | 0.17 oz |
| Raise bromine +3 ppm | bromine granules | 0.16 oz |
| Chlorine shock (+10 ppm) | dichlor | 0.57 oz |
Fine-tune doses in the calculator
Add in small steps with the pump running, wait, then retest before adding more. Never mix chemicals together, and always follow your product label, which wins over any calculator.
