We recommend using the hydrotherapy jets sparingly. How do I control the temperature in the hot tub?

All hot tubs must be installed on a structurally sound, relatively smooth and level surface that is strong enough to support it when filled. It MUST be installed on firm, sharp object-free spaces. We will not install the hot tub on dirt, as it will greatly increase debris entering it. Can I move the hot tub once it has been delivered? NO! Once the hot tub is filled up, you must not try to move it. When our hot tubs are delivered, you sign an agreement stating that you will not move the hot tub.

We recommend using the hot tub outdoors or in a place where water can easily drain away. The amount of water spilt depends on how many people are in the hot tub, the number of times people get in and out, whether the people are splashing water and if the Hydrotherapy jets are working. Can I drink alcohol in the hot tub? WARNING!! The use of alcohol, drugs or medication before or during hot tub use can greatly increase the risk of fatal hypothermia.
