Hot tub installation manual

Learn how to determine the best location for your spa. The certified electrician should pre-install a volt, 50 or 60 amp electrical service attached to a GFCI breaker from a safe distance from the tub. Carry the hot tub or use a flatbed truck capable of supporting the weight and dimensions of the hot tub and drive it as close to the installation site as possible.

Arrange to have a few strong people on hand for a short period, to off load the spa and transport it by hand the rest of the way. Connect all pumps, hoses, cut-off valves and any other connections specific to that particular hot tub model. Fill the hot tub with a garden hose using cold water until reaching the fill line, which is normally 2 inches above the highest jet. Instruct the electrician to hook up the electric service and then follow manufacturer instructions on initial startup of that particular model.

Try all jets, pumps, lights and features to determine if all are working correctly. Set the thermostat to degrees and make sure the heater works.

Treat the hot tub chemically and place the hot tub cover on the tub to retain the heat until you reach the desired temperature. Relax in the luxurious features and amenities that soothe the senses and rejuvenate the spirit in our Strong Spas Premium line of hot tubs.

Prepare Your Foundation Prepare a level surface for our base to rest on. Even with the cover, the tub will remain cleaner and will last longer if it is shielded from the elements with a patio roof or a similar open-air covering.

If your hot tub has no patio cover, avoid positioning the tub under trees as this will help prevent leaves and debris from settling in the tub. A poured concrete slab is an ideal permanent base for hot tubs. For most hot tubs measuring 80 inches square, a base with an area of 10 feet by 10 feet is sufficient. This slab should be at least 4 inches thick and be fully supported from below.

Most hot tub manufacturers recommend a concrete slab base over other types of bases. A deck may be able to support the hot tub, as well. Your deck must have been built to meet or exceed these specifications. If not, you may be able to retroactively shore up portions of the deck to make it strong enough to hold a full hot tub. All hot tubs require electrical power and should be within 15 feet of a dedicated GFCI outlet. Your hot tub may run off of either V power or V power.

If it is V power, you may be able to plug the hot tub directly into an existing outdoor GFCI outlet. If the hot tub runs off of V power, it is unlikely that your home already has this type of electrical outlet outside. In this case, you should call a qualified electrician to install the outlet. A palleted dry hot tub, intact with all packing materials and measuring 96 inches square by 48 inches deep, will weigh close to 1 ton 1, pounds.

The weight of the hot tub—coupled with the tub's size and its fragility—makes it difficult for most homeowners to move the tub into place on their own. Since many merchants offer curbside delivery by common carrier or freight truck, it is the homeowner's responsibility to move the hot tub to its eventual location. A hauling or moving company can move the hot tub into place by forklift. It may be necessary to remove gates and fences or to cut back shrubbery or trees to ease the passage of the hot tub to its destination.

If access to the location is very limited, you may need to hire a company to operate a boom crane to lift the hot tub into place.

Twenty-ton boom cranes are the typical load-limit size used for hoisting hot tubs from the street and over fences, small trees, and even over the house itself. Once the hot tub is in place and all packing materials are removed, check the plumbing connections. Any gate valves should be open. Any drain valves should be closed or capped. Never run the hot tub when it is dry.

If the hot tub is full, never run it with the gate valves closed. The skimmer and filter are required to run the hot tub and may have been packaged separately. Install these parts according to the manufacturer's instructions. With a garden hose attached to an outdoor faucet, fill the hot tub to the fill limit specified in the instructions.

Usually, this is no higher than 6 inches from the rim of the hot tub. Some tubs may require you to fill the tub through the filter rather than directly into the basin. Most hot tub pumps must have water added inside before they can effectively circulate water. Most new hot tub pumps are self-priming. Priming can be initiated by operating the electronic control panel rather than by physically adding water to the pump. Run the prime cycle. Typically, this takes several minutes.
