Pre Delivery requirements

When purchasing one of our hot tubs you will need to consider the following points:

  • A Flat and Level hardstanding ground for the hot tub to sit on. Level Concrete, slabs or paving is required. Manufactures suggest allowing a further 300mm all the way around the hot tub to allow for spread. Hot Tubs do not have adjustable feet.
  • Electrical requirements for the specific hot tub.
  • Access Dimensions for the specific hot tub.
  • Additional space to allow for items such as a cover lifter if purchased.
Failure to follow the requirements will result in a failed installation and may incur a redelivery charge.

ACCESS requirements

Access to Garden

You will be required to send access images of the route to your garden along with measurements so our delivery booking manager can check that the hot tub will be able to fit through and gates, fences etc.

PLEASE NOTE: Access images must be supplied prior to your installation date being agreed. 

Points to consider: Fence removal prior to delivery, Steps to be pointed out clearly to our team, a clear 1m route from start to finish position, 2.1m height minimum allowance.

ELECTRICAL requirements

32AMP SUPPLY

If the chosen hot tub is a 32amp model then it will be necessary to contact a certified electrician to arrange for the installation of the electrics. 

This consists of the following:

  • Rotary isolation switch
  • 6mm armoured cable (size to be confirmed by electrician)
  • 32amp breaker to fuse box
  • Additional parts as required
The Isolator must be within 2-5meters of the hot tub and have another armoured cable connected from the isolator with at least 5 meters of cable or at least enough cable to reach the other side of the hot tub to allow our engineers to put the 3 wires into the hot tub PCB.
