Would You Recommend Using A Water Bed Heater Under An Inflatable Spa?

I am planing to buy a portable inflatable spa and planning on putting it in my spare room in my house with ventilation. It doesn’t have a heater and someone told me to use a water bed heater under it. Would that damage the vinyl on the underside of the spa or damage my non carpeted vinyl tile floor?

    A spa inside the house in not a very good idea. The humidity level will be sky high, mold will start to grow and if it leaks, well you will have mess, make sure your home owners insurance covers any damage. If the heater is not on a GFI you could get the shock of your life

    I agree on the humidity problem. If you intend to do it anyway be sure to use a thick plastic cushion between the heater and floor and the heater and spa. Waterbeds are designed for heaters, plastic spas may not be unless they say they are. Waterbeds were built to contain any leaks in a separate plastic layer to protect the house, your house will not have any protection from your spa. If you read the cost of repair to homes damaged in floods you might reconsider your idea. Take a look at how a bathroom is designed in order to have a fiberglass spa installed.

    All good answers so far, but consider this: Most permanent spas have 10,000 watt heaters and waterbed heaters are usually in the 300 watt range, heating a spa with one would be like trying to put out a fire with thimbles of water.

    I think it will be best if you consult with the manufacturer of the portable inflatable spa.
