Frequently asked questions
How often do I have to empty the water?
Every 3 to 4 months dependent on usage
Does the tub need to be plumbed in?
No. Just filled with a garden hose. The only connection required is electric
Will it work on a standard household 13amp socket?
Some spas do and some require a dedicated supply running out from your main consumer unit ( fusebox ) So please check on each spa of its electric requirements. We will talk you through this anyway
Do I need to add chemicals?
You will need some form of sanitizer to keep the water clean and fresh. Most use Chlorine or Bromine but there are now some Chemical Free products that are softer on the skin such as Aquasafe 90

Yes, either concrete, patio or well built deck (must be level)
Do the hot tub go up on their side for delivery?
Yes
