What to Consider in a Hot Tub Installation Job

The first thing to think about when it comes to installing a hot tub is where to install it. The next thing to consider is who is actually going to undertake the hot tub installation job. Someone who provides professional hot tub installation can probably help you decide the best place to put the hot tub.

The guy at the local pool shop can perform the hot tub installation for you, which is great, and is advised if you are unsure of how to do the hot tub installation yourself. However, if you think you can perform the hot tub installation yourself, you need to familiarize yourself with building codes. The rules and regulations for building work differ across the county, so you should find out first what you can do yourself, as some places do not allow homeowners to install their own gas and electricity connections for their hot tubs.

With regards to the location, the usual place for a hot tub installation is outside in the backyard, often simply because hot tubs take up space, which may not be available indoors. However, if you do think that an indoor hot tub installation is what you want, there are several things that may make you change your mind.

Outdoors, steam that is produced by the hot tub floats away into the atmosphere. Indoors, the steam will be trapped by the roof, making the room incredibly steamy and humid, which eventually results in enormous amounts of condensation on the windows. Over time, walls and ceiling will turn brown as a result of the water evaporating and leaving behind bromine residues.

Another problem with an indoor hot tub installation is the leak. Most hot tubs get one at some point, and while you may not notice it outdoors, you will indoors, regardless of how small the leak it. The leak will lead to other problems with the house.

As well as the rules regarding electricity and gas installation, the government also states that equipment must be at least five feet from your hot tub. It is commonplace to leave a greater distance than this anyway, but anywhere above five feet you need to weigh up the noise from the pump, which will be lower the further it is from the tub, with resistance in the jets, which will increase with a greater distance. If your hot tub operates on a gas run heater, obviously you will need a gas line as well as electricity for the pump. Again, check local rules on installing this.

Something else that is vital, but can easily be forgotten is what the tub is going to sit on. Grass is no good, because if it gets wet, the enormous weight of the tub and water (which for the average tub will be around 3000 pounds) will cause the whole thing to subside. You need to have either a concrete base or some sort of reinforced area for the tub to sit on.
