Installing your Hot Tub
​
A hot tub can be a relaxing addition to your backyard. Because they are large, electrically complex systems, installing hot tubs can be tricky so we are here to ensure that it goes in smoothly and safely. Modern hot tubs tend to be self-contained, which means there is no plumbing involved in the setup. Even so, installing a hot tub requires a bit of planning on your part.
​
Choose a location for your hot tub.
Make sure the spot you choose is large enough for the hot tub as well as some extra leeway for getting in and out and performing maintenance. A safe amount to allot is approximately 10 feet (3.0 m) by 10 feet (3 m by 3 m), but it depends on the size of your hot tub. We can help you decide where to put your tub and advise you on the best place.
Prepare the site, if necessary.
Hot tubs, when full, can weigh as much as 3,000 pounds (1,361 kg). For this reason, you will need a firm foundation on which the hot tub can rest. If you don't have a firm foundation, you risk damaging the tub voiding any warranty it comes with.
-
Pouring concrete into a 3 to 4 inch thick (7.62 to 10.16 cm) pad is a common method of creating a solid foundation. Concrete provides a very strong foundation. At the same time, it may not be aesthetically pleasing and will be permanently anchored into place if you ever choose to move the hot tub.
-
Another option is prefabricated spa pads. These pads have interlocking grids that make installation easy, and they can be removed if you ever decide to relocate your tub. At the same time, spa pads may be less supportive than concrete.[3] Make sure you have a solid base to work with, and you choose the strongest pads if you use this option.
R.Askew Electrical & Security Ltd can advise and even get this sorted for you too, so you know you have an appropriate and safe base for tub.
​
Ready for Install?
We will check that everything is right before we install your hot tub. We will ensure that the electrical wiring has a safe route to the power supply, including fitting you an external power supply and breaker to your electrical control box if needed.
​
Assemble the hot tub and hook up the electricity.
We will place, assemble and install your hot tub and get it all hooked up and certified on completion.
Know that some warranties will be voided if the electrical circuit isn't installed by an electrical contractor. In some cases, unless the circuit has been installed by a licensed contractor like R.Askew Electrical & Security Ltd, the manufacturer won't recognise the warranty.
​

Once correctly installed we will clean, fill and get it heated and show you how to add your chemicals to maintain sanitation.
​
And.. Finally your ready to enjoy.
