Wave's Pacific 4 person is aimed at buyers with a narrow patio or a balcony-sized corner. The listing gives an outer size of 155 by 155 cm, the smallest footprint in the four seat group here, and the heater is built into the tub rather than sitting in a pump box beside it. Antifreeze protection is named in the title, which is unusual at this size and makes the Pacific worth a look for anyone who wants to keep it filled into the colder months.

In its favour
- The 155 cm footprint is the smallest here, handy on a small patio or balcony with the right load rating.
- The heater is built into the tub, so there is no separate pump box to place.
- UV protected woven PVC with a PU insulated foam core is listed.
Good to know
- Water capacity is not given, so plan chemicals from the manual.
- The bullets say up to 6 people while the title says 4, so expect it to suit 2 to 4.
Our take
The integrated heater and what it changes
Most inflatable tubs pair a soft wall with a separate pump and heater unit on the floor. The Pacific listing describes a built-in heater with a minimal surface, so the tub reads as one object rather than a tub plus a box and hose. That helps on a small patio where a pump unit would eat into walking space.
The listing states a fast heating system to 40 °C and mentions antifreeze protection, but gives no wattage and no lowest working air temperature. Anyone planning winter use should ask Wave for those two figures before ordering.
Walls, insulation and weather
Two bullets describe the build. One mentions UV resistant PVC with drop point reinforcement, the other woven PVC with a PU insulated foam core. A foam core in the wall should slow heat loss compared with a plain air chamber, though the listing does not say how thick it is.
Note that one bullet on this listing says Wave hot tubs fit up to six people. That line appears to be shared with the six seat model; the spec sheet and title both say four, and the 155 cm size supports the lower figure.
Comparing it with the Lay-Z-Spa 60001 and the Wave Como
Next to the Lay-Z-Spa 60001, the Pacific is 25 cm narrower and adds antifreeze protection and the built-in heater, but the Bestway publishes a water volume and jet count where Wave does not. Within Wave's own range, the Como Eco Foam is the bigger, foam walled step up with WiFi and Freeze Shield, while the Pacific 6 person is the same idea scaled to six seats.
Setup and care
The title promises setup in about 15 minutes. An integrated filtration system is listed for keeping the water clear, but the filter type and replacement interval are not given, so check that spare cartridges are easy to find before you commit. App control is not mentioned anywhere.
Verdict
Buy the Wave Pacific 4 person if floor space is tight and you like the idea of a heater built into the tub with antifreeze protection. If you want a published water volume and the backing of a long running range, the Lay-Z-Spa 60001 is the safer pick, and if phone control matters, choose the Intex PureSpa Chevron Deluxe.
