In continuing our blog series about the most common reasons we hear from people on why they don't own a hot tub, #4 is a consistent one - fear of what it takes to prepare your space for a hot tub. This one is actually not too bad if you know the right people to call - or in some cases, your hot tub retailer may even be able to take care of it for you!
The first step for a new hot tub is the location. You will need to have a flat, level surface ready - approximately 10' x 10' will fit most standard hot tubs. You can level your surface with paving stones or have a concrete pad poured, if you don't already have an existing surface ready.
A concrete slab is generally your best bet, and most cost effective. Most slabs run $8 - $12 / square foot, so for the 10' x 10', you are looking at $800 - $1,200. Ask your hot tub retailer if this is a service they provide - if it is, you can finance it in with your purchase if you opt to use financing.
You want to avoid placing your new hot tub directly on grass or leveled dirt - in most cases this will void the warranty - and it allows for moisture to find an easier path in and wreak havoc on the equipment. Also, hot tubs are heavy - with a heavy rain, you may wind up with a sinking hot tub...
The second step to prepping your area for a new hot tub is the electrical connection. If you are purchasing a 110v hot tub and you have a dedicated outlet near the location you want to place your hot tub, you are done and have nothing else to worry about!
