Hot Tub Base Preparation
You must allow 1 metre clearance for access to the Hot Tubs access panels, for servicing.
The site you select for your Hot Tub MUST be a flat, level, continuous surface that contacts the bottom of your Hot Tub fully.
Your new Hot Tub weighs between 1100 and 1900 KGs (according to model) when full plus the weight of 6/7 persons and therefore a solid support is essential.
A 10 to 15cm thick reinforced concrete slab is ideal but not necessarily required. In most cases your Hot Tub can be mounted on existing patios which have adequate foundations for the Hot Tub loading. If in doubt consult an expert.
It is recommended that you install your Hot Tub at ground level, which allows easy access to equipment.
The base should be at least the size of the overall Hot Tub - see sizes on the technical data sheets. Note - If preparing a new location it may be worth extending the hard standing around your Hot Tub. This will allow good access for both maintenance and person entry, plus avoiding soil splash from water coming over the Hot Tub edge. Also, you may want to purchase a gazebo that also requires a level hard standing.
Select an anti-slip surface for wet feet.
Needs to be a durable waterproof finish.
Avoid over hanging foliage that causes algae on the Hot Tub cover and makes the hard standing slippery.
