You’ll need to just remember to have a great degree area that may deal with the hundreds of kilos a full sizzling tub weighs earlier than you place this factor there: it’s not mild, and it completely shouldn’t be positioned on an unreinforced deck or a raised patio you don’t need sagging into the bottom. My location was disused and really almost degree, with pavers over sandy soil that may take the burden. Be sure you examine this earlier than even contemplating a sizzling tub.
The one actual meeting, other than ensuring you could have sufficient energy (both a normal 120V circuit or 240V dryer outlet will work, with 240 being noticeably sooner to warmth), is putting in the lid. It’s a traditional flip-top fashion sizzling tub lid with foam insulation. It comes with drillable clips in an effort to make certain it stays safe on windier days.

The bathtub has 12 jets and 4 clear seating positions, with a standard footwell for everybody to share as soon as inside. It’s a bit tight with bigger people, however you possibly can fairly comfortably match 4 adults within the tub, and really simply match two (and a child, my spouse and I found, if the temp is low sufficient).
Controls are easy buttons on the aspect of the bathtub, with a temp readout that tells you what the present temp is, with the set temp adjustable by arrow keys, in addition to the small spa mild, and the jets.
The jets themselves are simply turned on and off with mentioned swap, except the spa is heating, at which period they continue to be on to flow into the heated water. You possibly can alter how sturdy the bubbles are with intelligent little knobs on high of the bathtub rim subsequent to the cupholders (important for a sizzling tub).

For those who’re a brand new sizzling tub purchaser, it’s primarily as simple as filling up the bathtub, then ready the 24-ish hours it takes to warmth up water to your required temperature. I set the bathtub to its most 104 levels Fahrenheit for a correct warmth soak, and it took a bit over 24 hours to warmth the bathtub from tap-cold water on 120V in the course of winter. Your mileage will fluctuate, however plan on a day or two till it’s correctly rocking.
