Preparing for your new
hot tub
Building work required prior to the delivery of your
hot tub:
- Base
You will need to arrange a four inch concrete base or concrete slabs,
level and flat, the same size as the hot tub. Your tub cannot be placed
on grass as it will sink and may damage the lawn and/or tub.
- Electrical Supply
You will need to install an electrical supply. This needs to be 6mm 3 core armoured
cable with a 5-6 metre tail which terminates at the side of the spa. It needs
to have a 32 amp c rated trip m.c.b . and a 30m R.C.D. We recommend that all
electrical work is carried out by a qualified electrician. If the spa is to
be sited indoors bathroom regulations apply.
- Water
There must be a water supply within reach of the hot tub - usually this
is a hosepipe, which can also be used for emptying the hot tub, by way
of a connection situated inside the cabinet.
- Delivery
The hot tub will be delivered either on a trailer or a flat bed vehicle
measuring up to 7m long, 2.1m wide and 2.4m high. Please ensure there
is adequate access for such a vehicle to reach your driveway/house.
The hot tub may be sited using a trolley which will be mounted sideways
on to the trolley, so the depth of the tub will become the width. The
trolley is not suitable for manoeuvring the Grand Canyon or Spa FM -
we will discuss individually delivery of these models. If you have ordered
a hot tub other than the Grand Canyon or Spa FM, but feel the trolley
will not be adequate for siting your tub, then please ring us so that
we can discuss your individual requirements.
- Access
Please make a careful note of the tub measurements and check that we
will have enough room to site the hot tub. You should also add a small
amount for the trolley and packaging.
- Are doors, gates or alleyways large enough?
- Does the spa have to be taken over lawn or gravel?
If so, make sure boards are put down for protection & to assist
delivery if necessary.
- Take into account obstructions such as drainpipes, shelves, guttering,
taps etc?
Make sure these are removed prior to delivery if necessary.
- Is there enough room for turning the tub in tight corners to get
it into position?
- Is there enough room to access the hot tub once it is in position?
We recommend that there is access to all four sides, however, it is
particularly important that there is access to the side containing the
control pad.
- Are there any steep slopes or walls?
We can manage small slopes or walls if extra labour is on site to help
take the hot tub off the trolley. However, for larger walls and steep
slopes a crane may be necessary.
- Manpower
We will supply one or two men to commission your hot tub. If you think
the hottub will have to be removed from the trolley for any reason (eg:
to overcome a step or go through a narrow alleyway), then you must arrange
extra labour to assist.
Oslo, Geneva, Madrid or Lyon 2 extra men
Milano 4 extra men
Grand Canyon & Spa FM models will require special delivery arrangements
anyway.
- Chemicals
We insist on the purchase of a chemical pack to commission a hot tub.
This is for safety reasons, so we can dose the tub immediately and demonstrate
usage for the future. If you do not wish to purchase the chemicals with
your hottub, then please ensure you have a suitable supply for use during
the commissioning.
