Hot tub

4 years ago

Morning Abigail, I love the work that you have done here. We are looking to create this type of space in Guildford. How were you able to sink the hot tub into the deck? Do you have a "pool room" underneath the deck or can you access the hot tub through the panel at the side? Really sunning result with the rest of the garden. Kind regards, Heather

Hello Heather

Thank you for your questions:

- The hot tub sits on a concrete pad with drainage channels to taketh water out of the side of the walls

- The whole area under the deck is hollow surrounded by a square of block work walling

- The hot tub electric etc are underneath accessed by a trap door

- Hope this diagram helps

Best wishes

Abby

I'd love one but I'm not sure I have the space, or if I really need one. That said, you don't always have to need something to buy it...

My flat came with a hot tub but I want to have it disinfected and cleaned before I use it. Does anyone have experience with a good hot tub specialist in central London (I live in w2)? Thanks in advance.

I have no idea why I couldnt reply on the mobile app... ah well. The general dry weight is 400kg which I have to say isnt major, a lot is comprised of the main air/water pumps. If they are not removeable/replaceable then the warranty of the tub isnt worth squat. I would imagine up to 4 people, a wall that can take the weight is there to rest on, and if really fussy about the initial lift, perhaps a fork lift. Once up, all it needs is to be moved forward and gradually lowered inside on perhaps a load bearing air bag as is conventionally used. Not sure what you mean about twist, there is tilting and side space all the way around the space, it's not a tight letterbox. These things commonly get rolled in by one, maybe 2 people on it's side on a trolley, many will fit through a doorway, and then 2 people would gently lower it down. Sometimes, they are crane lifted over the house!... I see not reason it couldnt be lifted relatively flat over a short wall. There are a lot of tub only 60-70cm high (2x2m), that should just trolley dolly through the door, in fact many advertised to fit through a standard domestic doorway, this is larger, with just as much head room, so for the life of me, I can't understand why they look at this construction and run a mile, make it out to be more difficult than it actually is. I do have an option, buy a build a spa and put the thing together myself, there is zero issue getting the components in there, maybe the spa house is for bigger than it looks on a photograph! That said, hot tubs all break down, many go to the stores in parts to assemble, many are put together on site.... so why can't I find a company who will do on-site assembly. My opinion is that companies are only interested in sending monkey cowboy muscle to do installations, so unless it's dead easy, roll in and flit, theyre not interested. My electrician told me about one delivered only just down the road where they dumped it in that hard, they mangled the power supply on the hot tub that badly he had to completely replace it.

I don’t think I could sit in it during the hot day sun anyway unless I was using it as a cooling dip tub! Ha ha. I guess with an inflatable, we could try it in different areas at different times of the year and see what works for us. 👌 If we love it then we might get a better one or build decking around it so it looks nicer. Definitely appears to me more for winter use when it’s cold out. Reminds me of being on the spa roof top hot pool in Bath one October when it was snowing outside and it was fab!
