Water is heavy. A full tub weighs around 1,500kg. Your base must be solid, level, and flat.
- ✓ Concrete Slab: The best option. 100mm reinforced concrete.
- ✓ Patio/Paving: Fine, provided the slabs are level and not rocking.
- ✓ Decking: Must be reinforced to hold 500kg/m². Standard garden decking may collapse.

Hot tubs are delivered on their side on a "Spa Dolly" (specialized trolley). Hot tubs are solid, single-piece structures.
You need a clear path approx 1m wide and 2.4m high. Check for drain pipes, window sills, and gas meters.
No side access? No problem. We can arrange a HIAB crane to lift the tub over your house or fence. It's common and easier than you think.

Is it expensive to run and loud?
Approx £1.00 - £1.50 per day. Our models utilize advanced thermal insulation chambers that capture and recycle waste energy from the motor, keeping running costs surprisingly low.
Engineered for silence. By using dedicated low-RPM circulation pumps and sound-dampening insulation, our models run quietly enough for a midnight soak without disturbing the neighbors.

Forget the horror stories. Our spas feature a medical-grade Ozone System that runs automatically. It creates active oxygen to neutralize bacteria on contact, meaning you use fewer chemicals and enjoy softer, cleaner water.
