Hot Tubs Installation:

Q. What electrical supply is required?
A. A 32 Amp depending on the model pool.
See the hot tub specification sheet, which gives the pools amperage and installation procedures.

Q. Can I install the electrical supply myself?
A. No. A registered electrician will need to visit and install a circuit breaker (fuse) in your electrical consumer unit and run a cable to near your pool. A waterproof isolator switch will need to be installed about 2 metres away from your spa. Don’t worry about this because it is no more complex or expensive than installing an outdoor water feature i.e. fountain pump.

Q. How do I fill and drain the Hot Tub?
A. Using a garden hosepipe you fill the tub. Again by connecting a hosepipe to the drain valve you can empty the spa.

Q. What is the weight of a Hot Tub empty?
A. Ranges from 180kg-450kg depending on the model

Q. What is the weight of a Hot Tub full?
A. Less than 1300 kg for the smaller capacity models and less than 3200 kg for the larger hot tubs.

Q. Will the pool fit through a door?
A. It depends; the smaller models may i.e. Kauai
See the sales sheet for exact overall dimensions.

Q. I do not have a garden access; how do I get the pool into my rear garden?
A. This may be difficult. Look to the smaller models like the Kauai. Measure your doorways to see if it will fit through the house. If not you may be able to hire a truck-mounted crane; look in the Yellow Pages. This will not cost more than 10% of a pool so it is worthwhile.

Q. Do I need to have water connected all the time?
A. No. Just fill from a garden hose and top up as required. We recommend changing the water every 3 months or sooner as you like.

Q. Can I install my pool in a conservatory or pool closure?
A. Yes. Please call our sales line for more information.

Q. Can I use the pool immediately after I apply the first dose of chemicals?
A. No. You must wait for 8-12 hrs after first applying the chlorine. It will need this time to heat–up from cold anyway.
