There are usually many ways to install a Hot Tub Spa. The simplest one is the freestanding installation, which only requires laying a foundation on the ground and placing it directly on the ground. The second is the sunken installation, which is usually divided into several forms. One is to bury the Hot Tub in the ground in whole or in part, and the other is installing the hot tub in decking, hiding the hot tub cabinet in whole or in part inside the deck, which can avoid the trouble of digging the ground and get the same effect. But compared to a freestanding hot tub, what factors should be considered before installing a sunken hot tub?
Choose the right location
If you choose a sunken installation, the location of the installation needs to be carefully selected. Because compared to a movable freestanding hot tub, once a sunken hot tub is installed, it is difficult to move it again. In addition to considering factors such as convenience, privacy, and views, you also need to consider the issue of space when choosing a location. A location that is only suitable for the size of the backyard hot tub is not feasible. In order to facilitate maintenance work in the future, a space larger than the size of the acrylic hot tub needs to be reserved to facilitate maintenance personnel to enter the interior for maintenance.
Reserve the maintenance door
In addition, whether it is excavating the ground or installing the deck, in terms of maintenance, in addition to reserving placement space, it is also necessary to install panels or trap doors to enter the internal inspection area.
Choose experienced installers
Excavating the ground to install a hot tub is a relatively complicated project, including excavation, laying the foundation, installing power and water sources, reserving drainage outlets, etc. Whether these processes are installed in a standardized manner will have a great impact on the future user experience. Therefore, choosing an experienced team for installation will also ensure the quality of the project.
Choice of skirt and skirt decoration
When buying a jacuzzi hot tub, if you consider the installation method of fully buried in the ground, then choose the simplest skirt just ok. But if it is a semi recessed installation, and you want to install LED belts, corner lights and other decorations on the skirt, you need to determine the height of the hot tub above the ground in advance, and then coordinate with the hot tub manufacturer on the height of the skirt light strips and corner lights to avoid the light strips being buried underground.
