We hope this guide will help prepare you for the installation of your hot tub.
Where to site the hot tub
Choose an area that will be suitable for you, remembering that you may need to be near a changing
area, some privacy may be required, falling leaves may be a concern and that the light/sunny areas are
more suitable. Sheltered areas in the summer may become open during the winter. An area in front of
your hot tub should be clear so that grass and debris are not transferred to the water. You know your
garden.
Access
Most hot tubs are delivered on their sides on a specially made hot tub cart, (see figure 1 below). You
must therefore make sure the access is big enough for the hot tub and the cart. Please bear in mind
the height of the hot tub on its side will increase slightly when on the cart by approximately 6
–
8 inches
(150
–
200mm).
Figure 1 - The Hot Tub Cart
You must ensure you have adequate access for the size of the hot tub you have chosen. Please note
the dimensions listed in the back of this guide are the total outer dimensions of the hot tub + or
–
5%.
You must also allow 5mm for packaging.
Check the widths & heights of doorways, passages and gates to make sure the hot tub and cart can
pass through. Gates, fences and doors may need to be removed (prior to delivery).
Make sure that there is nothing protruding such as drainage pipes or sills that could obstruct the way.
Check to see if there are any low roofs or branches that would hinder vertical clearance. If there are
any corners on the path to your designated installation site, check to see the hot tub will pass.
The route to where the hot tub is to be sited should be flat and level and not soft ground. Check and
inform us if there are any slopes, retaining walls, steps or level differences that may cause problems.
Any extra resources required would be charged extra.
