Hot Tub Installation

Planning the Best Location

Your spa installation should not be within 10 feet of overhead power lines. Remember to make sure that access to the hot tub’s equipment panel is not blocked. Consider your needs. Do you entertain? Enjoy reading or quiet time? The answers to these types of questions will help you determine the setting you want for your hot tub installation.

Don’t forget about privacy when deciding the location of your spa installation. One of our top hot tub installation ideas is to put your hot tub out on the patio. Many owners even choose to install custom wood decks around their hot tubs. If your hot tub installation includes decorative trimming, remember to allow access for service. Check overhanging branches and any other overhang clearance considerations.

A good, solid hot tub foundation is essential for any hot tub. The area that it rests on must be able to support the weight of the hot tub, the water in it, and those who use it. Your surface must be level and straight.

Hot Tub Electrical Installation

Always be sure your electrician consults the Jacuzzi Hot Tubs Owner’s Manual for your particular model before doing any electrical work.
