What happens on the day of my hot tub installation?

4 MIN READ

Is your Jacuzzi® Hot Tub finally arriving? How exciting! We've put together a guide on what you can expect on the day of delivery and what you need to do!

What will happen on the day?
Your Jacuzzi® Hot Tub will normally arrive on an 18-tonne articulated lorry from our warehouse, with a curtain side and electric tail lift to easily deliver your Jacuzzi®. Our experience team of engineers will be ready and wating to unload your hot tub and ensure the route to the garden is clear and set up their equipment in your garden. The engineers will begin by setting up a ‘Water Transfer Bag’ in your garden and begin to fill with water, this is important to do this straight away to save time and speed up you finally enjoying your new hot tub. Your Jacuzzi® Hot Tub will then be carefully transported into your garden on its side, or with the assistance of additional lifting equipment if required (you will be aware of this prior to your installation day).

Once the team have positioned your hot tub in its new home, they will confirm you are happy with its final location and orientation. Once this is confirmed they will unwrap your Jacuzzi®, removing all packaging and leaving a clean and tidy garden. Next, they will start to connect it to the power supply, once safely connected they can begin filling up your Jacuzzi® Hot Tub by pumping the water from the ‘Water Transfer Bag’ directly into your Jacuzzi®. The filling will be completed with just a hose pipe, no plumbing required. Our engineers will also assemble your hot tub cover, cover lifter and steps for you. We will then show you how to use your new Jacuzzi® Hot Tub in detail, including a beginner chemical guide. 

How long does the installation take?
The installation process will vary depending on size of Jacuzzi® Hot Tub and distance or complexity of the location. However we install most of our hot tub within a 4-hour window and are predominantly governed by water pressure, hence the importance of filling the ‘Water transfer bag’ immediately upon arrival.
