We hope this guide will help prepare you for the installation of your hot tub.
Where to site the hot tub
Choose an area that will be suitable for you, remembering that you may need to be near a changing
area, some privacy may be required, falling leaves may be a concern and that the light/sunny areas are
more suitable. Sheltered areas in the summer may become open during the winter. An area in front of
your hot tub should be clear so that grass and debris are not transferred to the water. You know your
garden.
Access
Most hot tubs are delivered on their sides on a specially made hot tub cart, (see figure 1 below). You
must therefore make sure the access is big enough for the hot tub and the cart. Please bear in mind
the height of the hot tub on its side will increase slightly when on the cart by approximately 6 –8 inches
(150 –200mm).
Figure 1 - The Hot Tub Cart
You must ensure you have adequate access for the size of the hot tub you have chosen. Please note
the dimensions listed in the back of this guide are the total outer dimensions of the hot tub + or –5%.
You must also allow 5mm for packaging.
Check the widths & heights of doorways, passages and gates to make sure the hot tub and cart can
pass through. Gates, fences and doors may need to be removed (prior to delivery).
Make sure that there is nothing protruding such as drainage pipes or sills that could obstruct the way.
Check to see if there are any low roofs or branches that would hinder vertical clearance. If there are
any corners on the path to your designated installation site, check to see the hot tub will pass.
The route to where the hot tub is to be sited should be flat and level and not soft ground. Check and
inform us if there are any slopes, retaining walls, steps or level differences that may cause problems.
Any extra resources required would be charged extra.

Under special circumstances, where there is no clear or easy route, a crane can be used to position
your hot tub. Please contact us to arrange this service if you think it may be necessary. Please note
that the cost of the crane would be charged extra.
If access is via a neighbour’s property, you must seek permission. Our installers will not proceed
without your assurance that permission has been gained by you.
PLEASE NOTE –THE HOT TUB CANNOT BE REMOVED FROM THE CART BEFORE IT IS LOWERED &
PLACED ON YOUR BASE
Smaller hot tubs (under 2m x 2m x 800mm) may be delivered on a castor board. This enables the hot
tub to be moved easily over perfectly level and hard ground (eg. level slabs, etc). Please specify if this
is required before delivery. However, the ground leading to the hot tub must be very level and hard
(i.e. slabs, concrete or macadam), as the castors will dig into soft ground and loose stones.
The Base
Wherever you decide to install your hot tub, it is essential that a solid foundation is provided. Grass
is not suitable. Please note it is the responsibility of the customer to provide a suitable base that is
flat, level and hard to prevent distortion from occurring. Any structural damage caused by improper
base or base failure may invalidate manufacturer’s warranty.
An ideal base would be concrete 4 –6 inches (100 - 150mm) thick (see figure 2 below). However,
existing patio slabs and block paving may be utilized but must be flat, level and on a satisfactory sub
base. Wooden decking is also a popular base. However, all bases must be able to take the weight of
the hot tub plus the water and occupants. No form levelling by means of “packers” is acceptable.
Figure 2 –Hot Tub Base
Bases must be prepared in plenty of time prior to delivery, thus allowing time for concrete to fully cure.

Service Access
Access is required around the hot tub for any future maintenance, ideally 24inches (600mm). If this is
not practical then the area should be of sufficient size so that the hot tub can be moved when empty
of water for access. The front has to be accessed for routine maintenance.
Electrical Supply - Pleaserefertoyourorder formfortheexactelectricalrequirements for yourhottub.
Electrical Supply For Hot Tubs Over 13 Amps: -
A suitably qualified electrician e.g. NICEIC registered, must carry out all electrical work to the IEE latest
standards. The electrical supply will be permanently connected (hardwired) to a single-phase 240V
supply from the earth leakage protected consumer unit directly to a waterproof switch or isolator. A
clearly labelled 3 core (live, neutral & earth) armoured cable connected and isolated with the
waterproof switch is required. The cable must be left at the side of the hot tub not underneath. The
cable must have at least a 4 metre tail from the edge of the hot tub, for our installers to connect into
the hot tub. The connection must be made at the consumer unit, as the installers will only connect
at the hot tub.
Electrical Supply For 13 Amp Hot Tubs (Plug N Play): -
Plug ‘n’ play hot tubs will be supplied with a 3m cable complete with a 3-pin plug and an inline RCD
(see figure 3). All that is required by you is to ensure there is a waterproof box (see figure 4) single 3-
pin socket to provide power to the hot tub. The waterproof box should be positioned approximately
2m away from the hot tub. You should ensure the electrical supply is safe and up to current standards.
Please note, if the socket is positioned too far away from the hot tub, the cable may not reach.
Figure 3 –Inline RCD (Plug N Play only) Figure 4 –Waterproof single-switched socket
All electrical works should be carried out by a competent person.
A Certificate of Approval to Part P of the Building Regulations will need to be produced. Failure to
produce or meet our terms will result in your hot tub not being connected to the electrics and we
will be unable to commission the hot tub. .

Water & Electrical Supply
A mains water supply with reasonable water pressure, connected to a garden hose must be provided
by the customer to fill the hot tub. This should be flushed through to expel stale water. The hose can
also be used to empty the hot tub when changing the water. A standard 240V 3 pin electrical socket is
required within 10 metres of the base for lowering the hot tub using the air jack (see figure 5 below).
Figure 5 - Air Jack
Chemicals
A degree in chemistry is not required! A chemical starter pack can be purchased with your hot tub.
The installers will explain the treatment required. They will also show you how to conduct the test
with remedial actions. A hot tub water treatment manual will also be supplied with the hot tub.
Hot Tub Controls
The hot tubs all have digital controls and you will be shown how the main controls work by the
installers. However an operation manual is available for your hot tub for you to be able to set the
controls for your own requirements.
Heat Pump (optional)
If ordered, the heat pump will be installed OUTSIDE (away from foliage) between 1.5m –2.0m from
the hot tub. A suitable, level & hard base (slabs or concrete) will be required to place the heat pump
on. The base should be of adequate size to allow the heat pump to be positioned so as not to be
obstructed. Figure 6 below illustrates minimum obstruction distances. The heat pump will not work
in a confined space.
If the hot tub is being installed inside a building, 2 holes of 54mm diameter (for single skin walls) will
need to be drilled BEFORE delivery, to allow the pipes to be connected.
Technical specifications: -
Dimensions: 990mm x 380mm x 560mm
Weight: 45kg. Power Supply: 5amp
