Choosing a Place to Put Your Hot Tub

When selecting the perfect spot for your hot tub, it’s essential to consider both practicality and safety. We recommend following a few important guidelines to ensure your hot tub is installed correctly and efficiently.

Choose a Flat, Level Surface

Your hot tub must be placed on a flat and stable surface to ensure its longevity and functionality. Suitable surfaces include concrete, paving slabs, tiles, or structurally sound decking. While Orbis hot tubs are relatively lightweight when empty, once filled with water, they can weigh well over 1000 kg. As a result, the foundation needs to support the weight without shifting or sinking.

Grass and Earth

Placing your hot tub on to flags or solid ground is preferable than on to grass or bare earth. These surfaces can lead to increased dust, dirt, and insects entering the hot tub, which can shorten the equipment's lifespan and make cleaning more difficult. Additionally, an unenclosed below-ground setup is not advisable, as it exposes the hot tub to the elements and can affect its performance.

Indoor Installations

For those choosing to place the hot tub indoors, it’s important to be aware that water may splash or drip around and underneath the tub. Make sure the surrounding flooring is slip-resistant to prevent falls. High humidity from the hot tub may also require adequate ventilation to protect your indoor space from moisture damage. Good airflow, either natural or forced, will help minimise the risk of moisture build-up.

Consider Delivery Access

Although our hot tubs can fit through narrow passages, it’s advisable to provide clear access to the area where you’d like the hot tub placed. Clear access ensures a smooth and efficient delivery, allowing our team to set up the spa in your preferred location without delays. If you have any specific requirements regarding access or delivery, it’s a good idea to discuss these with us well in advance so that we can make the necessary arrangements.
