An inflatable hot tub kit that includes a self-supporting tub structure that can be used on ground or used in a body of water. The kit includes a thermostat and hoses designed to connect to an external fresh water supply system. The tub structure comprises three inflatable ring sections that form the sidewalls designed to hold warm or hot water. The upper ring section is octagonal-shaped when viewed in plan view. In cross-section, the upper ring section is circular and relatively large so that when the tub structure is placed in a body of water, the water edge is approximately 8 to 10 inches below the top surface of the upper section. The middle ring section is flat in cross-section and vertically aligned under the center axis of the upper ring section. The middle ring section provides buoyancy and supports the upper ring section when used on the ground or extends into the body of water to provide buoyancy. Attached to the middle ring section is an inflatable lower ring section. Attached to the lower ring section is a flat, insulated, flexible floor panel. A suitable air inlet/outlet port and a tub-through drain are also provided.

I claim: 1. An inflatable hot tub kit comprising: a. a tub structure that includes three stacked, inflatable ring sections and a lower flexible panel that forms an open center area capable of being filled with heated water, said ring sections having sufficient buoyancy that enables said tub structure to float when placed in a body of water, said floor panel being sufficiently flexible to bow upward when downward force thereon is reduced thereby maintaining the water level inside said open center area when water therefrom is removed, said inflatable sections including an upper section being circular in cross-section, an inflatable middle ring section being polygonal in cross-section, and an inflatable lower ring section being integrally formed with said middle ring section; b an air inlet/outlet port formed on said upper ring section of said tub structure; c. a water drain formed on said middle ring section of said tub structure which is selectively closed or opened to allow water to fill or drain, respectively, from said open center area; and, d. a source of heated water capable of filling said open center area of said tub structure. 2. The inflatable hot tub, as recited in claim 1, wherein said upper ring section is circular in cross-section. 3. The inflatable hot tub, as recited in claim 2, wherein said upper ring section is approximately 12 inches in diameter. 4. The inflatable hot tub, as recited in claim 3, wherein said middle ring section is approximately 3 inches thick. 5. The inflatable hot tub, as recited in claim 4, wherein said middle ring section is approximately 20 inches in width. 6. The inflatable hot tub, as recited in claim 4, wherein said lower ring is approximately 3 inches in diameter. 7. The inflatable hot tub, as recited in claim 6, wherein said middle ring section and said lower ring section are vertically aligned below said upper ring section. 8. The inflatable hot tub, as recited in claim 7, wherein said tub structure holds approximately 320 gallons of water. 9. The inflatable hot tub, as recited in claim 3, wherein said middle ring section is approximately 20 inches in width. 10. The inflatable hot tub, as recited in claim 2, wherein said middle ring section is rectangular in cross-section. 11. The inflatable hot tub, as recited in claim 10, wherein said lower ring section is circular in cross-section. 12. The inflatable hot tub, as recited in claim 1, wherein said middle ring section is rectangular in cross-section. 13. The inflatable hot tub, as recited in claim 1, wherein said lower ring section is circular in cross-section. 14. The inflatable hot tub, as recited in claim 13, wherein said lower ring is approximately 3 inches in diameter. 15. The inflatable hot tub, as recited in claim 1, wherein said upper ring section, said middle ring section, and said lower ring section are made of PVC fabric. 16. The inflatable hot tub, as recited in claim 1, wherein said water drain includes a fixture capable of attaching to a hose thereby enabling water to be circulated in said center open area. 17. The inflatable hot tub, as recited in claim 1, wherein said floor panel is approximately 3 inches thick. 18. The inflatable hot tub, as recited in claim 17, wherein said floor panel is made of PVC. 19. The inflatable hot tub, as recited in claim 1, further including a master control unit that includes a water pump to deliver water via a hose to said inlet port, and a solenoid check valve to control the flow of water from a water supply to said inlet port. 20. The inflatable hot tub, as recited in claim 19, further including a wireless receiver coupled to said master control unit and a wireless transmitter controlled by a user to control the operation of said master control unit.
