Hot Tub Site Prep

Questions to consider during the planning process

From site preparation to electrical connection, here’s what you need to do to prepare. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to one of our friendly sales associates. You can also request a site visit by completing the form on this page.

1. Are you planning to sink or enclose your spa?

We recommend allowing at least three feet of access on all four sides of your spa in the event that a technician needs to access your spa for service. If you are planning to sink your spa into the ground or enclose it with walls please speak with a member of our team first.

2. Who is Wiring your New Spa?

We recommend Brian Bradley Electrical Contractor for unmatched quality and service:

⭐ Extensive experience wiring thousands of spas
⭐ Complimentary startup and fill service
⭐ Knowledge of local permit requirements

Call 978-212-8014 or email bbradleyelectric@aol.com

Important: Electrician should be contacted before the start of any patio, concrete or deck work.

Site Preparation & Inspiration

A solid level surface is required. The typical weight load is 80-100 lbs per square foot. This may be supported by a recessed gravel bed embedded with pressure treated wood, 4"x4" or larger beams, a reinforced concrete slab at least 4" thick, patio stones or pavers, wooden deck, or SmartDeck available.

What Our Customers Say

Carl Gerst

I had my new hot tub delivered and installed today. It was amazing to see it hoisted over my house and dropped on my deck. The team onsite was terrific and looked after every detail. My end-to-end customer journey was excellent. I had a great customer experience and will be reaching out to them for service now that my hot tub is installed.

Kyle Bray

Couldn’t be more happy with the crew that came out to install the tub and set up the canopy cover. Kevin, Christian and Dan! They were professional, timely, and met my needs as we are building a new deck around this spa and the canopy that cannot be secured until we are done so they will come back on another requested date to finish the work. They told me all the information I needed to know about the spa and canopy cover that I originally didn’t know and needed to know to build a deck around the spa. They are the pinnacle of workers for New England spa! Highly recommend this company and their crew.

Kim Suga

Installation team was fantastic. Friendly people carefully setting up your tub. I highly recommend the staff at the Natick location.
