Hot Tub Installation Tips

I. General Placement Guidelines

Whether you're placing your hot tub indoors or outdoors, follow these important recommendations:

1.Ensure a Strong, Load-Bearing Surface

The hot tub's total weight includes its own weight, the water, and the users. Check the model catalog or consult a JOYEE authorized dealer for specific weight details. For installations on a suspended floor or balcony, make sure the structure can handle the load. If you're unsure, consult with a professional contractor.

2.Choose a Flat, Stable Surface

The base of the hot tub must be evenly supported. Avoid using wooden blocks to fill gaps or obstruct ventilation under the tub. If the tub is installed in a hole, ensure there's a proper drainage system to prevent water buildup.

3.Avoid Low-Lying or Water-Prone Areas

Place the hot tub in an area where water can easily drain away, avoiding depressions or low spots where water may collect. Standing water can cause damage to both the tub and its components.

4.Keep a Safe Distance from Electrical Equipment

For safety, ensure the hot tub is installed at least 150 cm (5 feet) away from any electrical outlets, switches, or other fixed appliances.

II. Considerations for Indoor Installation

If you plan to install your hot tub indoors, consider the following points:

1.Water-Resistant Environment

Ensure the floor and surrounding walls are water-resistant to prevent water damage or mold from splashes. It's highly recommended to use waterproof materials in the hot tub area.

2.Proper Ventilation

Indoor hot tubs generate moisture. To manage humidity, ensure the room is equipped with a proper ventilation system, such as an exhaust fan or dehumidifier. If you plan to use the hot tub for less than an hour each day, a basic ventilation setup should suffice.

III. Considerations for Outdoor Installation

When setting up your hot tub outdoors, think about weather conditions, surroundings, and drainage to enhance its durability and comfort:

1.Minimize Moisture Exposure

Avoid placing your hot tub near sprinklers or under roof edges without proper drainage, as prolonged exposure to moisture can lead to damage.

2.Limit Direct Sunlight

Long-term exposure to UV rays can cause fading or deterioration of the hot tub cover and exterior panels. If possible, select a location with partial shade or install shading to protect the tub.

3.Keep the Tub Clear of Debris

Do not place your hot tub in windy areas or where leaves may fall, as debris can accumulate in the tub.

4.Proper Drainage for In-Ground Installations

If you're installing the hot tub in the ground, ensure that there’s an appropriate drainage system to prevent groundwater from affecting the tub's stability due to hydrostatic pressure.

IV. Hot Tub Installation Tips

Since JOYEE hot tubs are delivered upright, take extra care when setting them up:

1.Confirm the correct orientation before positioning to avoid accidental damage.

2.Place protective padding (like foam) on the ground to cushion the tub and prevent scratches or cracks.

3.Handle with care, avoiding sudden impacts to preserve the condition of the hot tub and its components.

By following these steps, you can ensure your JOYEE hot tub is securely installed, helping to prolong its lifespan and maintain top performance. Whether you choose an indoor or outdoor setup, the right placement will elevate your spa experience, offering years of relaxation and peace of mind. Now, it's time to unwind and enjoy the luxury of your hot tub!
