Guides For Installing Backyard Inground Hot Tub

We believe that friends who click on this article are considering what kind of hot tub to choose for the backyard, whether it is an above ground hot tub or an inground hot tub.
In fact, hot tubs are the same as swimming pools, and above ground hot tubs are the most affordable, because the one-piece above ground hot tub saves most of the trouble of pre-civil construction, is easy to maintain in the later period, and can be moved to any location. The inground hot tub is just the opposite. The civil construction in the early stage is more complicated, the maintenance in the later period is also a bit difficult, and the position cannot be easily moved.

However, in terms of aesthetics, the inground hot tub is indeed the best, because of the embedded installation, making it blend well into a variety of backyard layout styles, these custom inground hot tubs are like mini swimming pools that enhance your backyard design. Inground hot tubs may be on the high end of the price spectrum, but their superior looks, durability, and potential to increase home value make them a viable option. And inground hot tubs heat quickly to the desired soaking temperature, and they retain heat more efficiently due to the earth's natural insulation.

When consulting an inground hot tub, you must first choose a reliable brand, and have repeated discussions with the designer on the size, layout, style of the home backyard and your own needs for the hot tub. According to the product and construction requirements confirming that there is enough space for installation, you will start the civil construction. The first step is to calculate the civil construction area, water supply and drainage location and power supply line of the placement location. It is recommended to place the water supply and drainage location and power supply line at the separation on both sides of the hot tub and the foundation pit. Regarding the water supply port, the hot tub is generally not equipped with an ordinary water inlet faucet due to its large volume, because the water inlet speed of the general faucet is slow.

It is recommended to install water pipes and water valves of more than 1 inch in appropriate locations to facilitate water supply. Regarding the power supply requirements, it is recommended to implement independent wiring because of the large power of the outdoor hot tub. It is best to use three-phase line power supply to reduce the current of each phase, and a suitable leakage protection switch must be installed. The second step is to start digging the soil, dig enough space in the appropriate position of the backyard according to the size, first lay a sand layer of no less than 25cm at the bottom, and use the earthshaker to shake the sand layer.

The third step is to stretch the bars. In order to make the foundation stronger, 12 threaded bars or thicker bars can be used to stretch bars on the ground and walls of the inner pit where the outdoor hot tub is placed. The thickness of the foundation should not be less than 18cm, and pay attention to reserve the water level. The fourth step is to lay concrete. In order to ensure that the foundation is strong enough to bear the load of the product, it is recommended to be able to withstand a load capacity 20% larger than that of the product after filling with water. Otherwise, the foundation will be damaged due to the accumulation of microseisms generated during the use of the hot tub. It is recommended to use 600# cement with a strength grade of 42.5Mpa or above as one of the foundation supporting materials, and add medium or coarse sand to ensure sufficient strength.

The fifth step, pull the wire, lay the foundation stone, and lay the tile on the wall. The sixth step, put the outdoor hot tub into the pit with a crane, install the support frame, carry out product debugging, install the decorative board, and then a backyard inground hot tub is installed. Although many people think that the backyard inground hot tub is expensive, the civil construction is more troublesome and the later maintenance is inconvenient, but many hotels and villas have chosen this backyard inground hot tub, because this kind of inground hot tub really enhances the design of the backyard, and it is not obtrusive and will not conflict with the style of the backyard.
