Hello lovely ladies (and gents)
I'm thinking of investing in a hot tub!

Probably a blow up one to start with. What do I need to consider? What extras/accessories do I need?

I have two choices for location, on the decking or on the artificial grass. Which is better? Do I need a 'base'? Will it ruin the 'grass', will the decking take the weight?

I need your genius!
Thanks in advance 😁🥂

Your decking will need to be reinforced, 1000 litres of water is very very heavy. Would be even more if it was a proper one

Yes it will probably ruin the grass if you lay it on top of it due to its weight.

Our is on a base - the lay z spa one, we also have insulated around the tub and under the lid. Saves money on the electric, be prepared to pay up to £15 a week to run it depends on your electric supplier and tariff.

You will need chemicals and test strips, to start with it will need a shock dose of chlorine and you can’t use it for 24 hours. Once you have the chemicals sorted it’s easy enough to keep them right, takes about 5 mins a day.

Oh and the area needs to be level and keep the tub out of direct sunlight as the sun can and does warp the plastic
