As you are exploring the idea of becoming a hot tub owner, you will be presented with a multitude of options. There are many ways to seek hydrotherapy through a hot tub — including above-ground hot tub, in-ground, and even inflatable models.
This article will share important information about above ground hot tubs to help you select the right one for you. If you are looking for an above ground spa, this article will also provide you with suggestions for selecting the best luxurious hot tub options for elevated relaxation. Read on to learn everything you’ve ever wanted to know about a luxury above ground hot tub.
What is an above ground hot tub?
Just as it sounds, above ground hot tubs are installed on top of the ground. This is different than an in-ground hot tub, which is built into the ground, similar to a traditional in-ground swimming pool. Above ground hot tubs are also called portable hot tubs. When you think of a traditional hot tub, you likely are envisioning an above ground hot tub. Typically, with an above ground hot tub, there is no need for construction into the ground or installation of underground plumbing. However, electrical wiring may need to be run.
This makes hot tub ownership easy and attainable. You can simply purchase an above ground or portable hot tub and have it delivered and installed in an existing area of your home or backyard. An above ground hot tub can be placed on a level, stable foundation such as concrete, a deck that can support its weight, or a prefabricated spa pad, which can be purchased at outdoor retailers or via reliable online sources.
Your local hot tub dealer can help you with the specifics of the foundation that will be right for your hot tub. It is also important to check with local zoning authorities when adding a deck or other foundation.
Many 110v/120v above ground hot tubs can be simply plugged into a standard American outdoor wall outlet that has a 20-amp dedicated electrical circuit. Portable hot tubs that are 220v will need to be hardwired with a dedicated 220/240v dedicated circuit. This can be installed by a professional electrician. While these are general facts, you should consult the owner’s manual of your specific hot tub to verify the proper electrical requirements before having it delivered and installed. You can also speak to your local authorized Jacuzzi® Hot Tub dealer who can help you answer any questions.
