Considerations Before Buying Indoor Hot Tubs
An indoor hot tub can provide you with a lot of additional privacy and also enable you to use your hot tub every season out of the year. If you are one who is considering the benefits of hot tubs indoors, then there are a few things you should know before you make the decision to buy an hot tub for your home.
Obviously, the first thing to think about is where the tub will go. Whether you have an existing room, or are planning to remodel a particular area of your home, tubs need an area that can stand up to moisture and humidity. Because of this, carpeted areas will not work well, as they are more susceptible to mold and mildew. For those with an enclosed porch or a basement area, these areas can work well for indoor tubs. In addition to being water-resistant, the room should also have adequate flooring to support the tremendous weight of a full hot tub. To determine if your flooring is suitable, it is best to have a contractor or structural engineer inspect the area for soundness. Indoor tubs, when completely full, can weigh thousands of pounds. Even if it is a ground floor, if there is a crawl space or inadequate foundation beneath the surface, and this could prevent the area from being sturdy enough to support such weight.
Once you have decided on an area for your tub, and have ensured that the area is adequate, the next thing to consider is how to get the hot tub inside of the home. It is important to keep in mind that most portable spas aren't really that portable, and that the term portable spa really only means that there is no external plumbing. Because of their tremendous size, most indoor tubs will not fit through the average doorway, even when turned on their side. In addition, if you are planning on taking your indoor hot tub up or down stairs, it is necessary to consider the dimensions of the stairway as well. Also, it is important to consider the proximity of your tub to an area where water can be drained for ease of maintenance, and in case of emergency.
For greater ease of planning, be sure to inform the dealer when you are shopping for indoor tubs that you plan to put the portable spa inside your home. Not only will the salesperson be able to direct you to models that may be more suitable for your needs, but you are more likely to get more relevant information that can be very useful to you in the long run.
