After purchasing your plug and play hot tub from Aqualife Outlet, you are probably eager to set it up so that you can start enjoying its relaxing benefits. While setting up a hot tub can seem daunting, it doesn’t have to be! After all, you’ve done the hard work of researching and selecting your perfect spa, it’s all downhill from here! With some basic preparation and the right tools, you can have your hot tub up and running in no time.
Choose a Suitable Location
The first step to setting up your hot tub is choosing a suitable location for it. A level and sturdy surface is essential as hot tubs can weigh several hundred pounds when filled with water and people. It’s also important to consider factors such as privacy, accessibility, and convenience when selecting a location for your hot tub.
Install a Hot Tub Pad
A solid and level foundation is crucial for every spa installation. One of the major causes of delays and additional expenses in spa installations is the proper preparation of a foundation. Many individuals choose concrete pads or wooden decks for their hot tubs however both options are subject to weather conditions and require significant time for preparation and maintenance. Depending on weather and installation schedules, the process of preparing a foundation could potentially postpone your ability to enjoy the many benefits of soaking in a hot tub.
For a quick and economical way to place your hot tub without pouring concrete, we recommend purchasing a hot tub pad. A hot tub pad can save you time, money, and, if you move, the pad can be taken with you!
Install Your Hot Tub
Next, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install your hot tub. This typically involves connecting the pump, filter, and control panel. Make sure to properly secure all connections and double-check for any leaks before filling your hot tub with water.
The Importance of a Hot Tub Cover
A hot tub cover is an essential accessory for any hot tub owner. Not only does it keep debris out and help maintain water temperature, but it also serves as a safety measure by preventing children or pets from falling into the hot tub. When purchasing a hot tub cover, make sure to choose one that fits your specific model and is made of high-quality materials. A secondary consideration might be whether you want to install a cover lifter or not, something we always recommend!
Comfort Is Critical
To fully enjoy your hot tub experience, make sure to accessorize with comfortable and durable items such as pillows or headrests. These will enhance your comfort and encourage you to use your hot tub more as it will be that much more comfortable!
Stay Safe With Hot Tub Steps
Hot tub steps are an important accessory, especially if your hot tub is elevated or requires a bit of a climb to get into. Look for steps made of sturdy materials with anti-slip surfaces for added safety and a nice bonus is that hot tub steps come in different colors to match your new spa.
Enjoy Your Plug and Play Hot Tub!
Once your hot tub is set up and accessorized, it’s time to sit back, relax, and enjoy! Make sure to regularly clean and maintain your hot tub for optimal performance and longevity. And don’t forget to invite friends over for a soak in the comfort of your own backyard oasis.
