Ok, first off congratulations on your hot tub purchase.  The delivery will be in a few days, which is plenty of time to get everything you need ready for the installation.  First off, hopefully you've already got a location picked out.
If not, you have to think about whether you want to install an indoor hot tub or install an outdoor hot tub.  Whether the spa will be installed indoors or out,  bear this in mind: a hot tub that will hold three people will weigh at least a ton. Remember, it's not just the tub and the people.  It's also the water that adds a lot to the weight of the unit.  Now, that we've got that out of the way, let's talk about placement.

Where NOT to Install a Hot Tub in Glendale

Ok, first off, if your location has any power lines within 10 feet of it, don't install your hot tub here.  You also want to have a solid and above all else level foundation for your hot tub, so don't put it on bare ground.  You do not want your tub to be someplace where the discharge or overflow from the tub is going to cause a problem.  You also do not want to install your hot tub anywhere without sufficient space for someone to be able to access the motor and the pump.
So with all of these requirements in mind, in narrows where you can put your tub.  Ideally, you want to do this step before the installation team comes in, but we understand that things happen.  Just remember though, one of the most important things you can do before you install a hot tub in Glendale is to plan for it.
This concludes part one of our series. For more information on hot tub installation, be sure to read part two and part three.
