Preparing You Space For a New Hot Tub
There are a number of things you should consider before your tub is delivered. With some foresight, delivery and installation of your new hot tub will be a breeze. Our staff members at Creative Energy are here to assist you through every step.
Accessibility
Consider how easy it will be for the delivery people, service workers, and guests to access the jacuzzi. During annual servicing, workers will need at least three feet of access to the side of the hot tub.
Foundation & Landscaping
Your foundation will need to be smooth, flat, and strong enough to support the weight of a full tub. It should never rest directly on soil or dirt, so you will need a sturdy platform or four to six inches of gravel under your spa. This ensures the area beneath your jacuzzi does not get damaged or muddy.
Your Privacy
If you need added privacy make sure you account for the space needed for a screen or cover.
Weight of Hot Tub
Consider how heavy the spa will be when it is filled with water. Plan to put it in an area that can support this, plus the weight of it at maximum occupancy.
Size of Platform & Steps
Remember to include your tub’s platform, steps, and other accessories when considering the entire footprint.
Electrical Source
Make sure you have access to the proper electrical sources, with an adequate amount of power. Our experts will be able to determine this for you prior to your delivery day.
Water Source
It is common for water to evaporate over time, due to temperature changes. So you will need easy access for filling your hot tub to a safe water level. Some households that run on well water have water delivered specifically for their personal spa.
Your View
Consider the seating in your tub and how to best place it so no one misses the beautiful view.
