Installation
Today's hot tubs are designed for easy installation. Your dealer can handle all aspects of the installation for you. But if you choose to do it yourself, here are a few points to consider.
Indoors. For indoor locations, adequate ventilation is essential. Water evaporating from your spa will raise the room's humidity level. An exhaust fan will help prevent damage and discomfort. Also, be sure you have a plan for getting the spa indoors. Is the patio door big enough? Or maybe you'll need to remove the glass from a picture window. Again, your spa dealer will be happy to assist in your planning.
Outdoors. If you select an outdoor location, comfort and convenience are key issues. Does your site offer privacy and easy access? For concrete slab or deck installations, follow the manufacturer's construction recommendations for proper support.
Your spa will need a source of electricity (usually 220 volts). Your dealer can give you details of the power requirements. Be sure to ask about any applicable local electrical codes, and follow the spa manufacturer's instructions.
