Indoor Hot Tubs, Spas and Home Jacuzzi

Lots of people want an indoor hot tubs for added privacy, ease of use and to be able to use it every day. There are a few issues to consider before you purchase a great new home indoor spa.

Where is Your Hot Tub Going to Be Located?

One of the most important questions is where is the hot tub going to go. Obviously an indoor spa is going to involve lots of water from people splashing in and out, as well as from the humidity that comes off from the steam of the hot water. It is best to avoid a carpeted room or one that lacks proper ventilation. Find a room that is well ventilated, has a clean hard surface and can be easily dried in all directions if water should spill over the sides.

Find a location for your indoor hot tub that can support the wieght of a full spas or jaccuzzi tub. This may involve having a contractor verify that the space can support such weight. Although a room or location may appear to be load bearing, there could be a crwal space or other

Plan out exactly how you are going to get the indoor hot tub in your ideal place. Remember, just because it is labeled a portable hot tub or spa doesn't mean that it is going to be a breeze to get through doorways, up stairs etc. Instead, portable simply refers only to fact that the hut tub plumbing is self contained. In addition, you will need to periodically drain the indoor hot tub so make sure that there is a sink or drain nearby.

If you're planning to put your hot tub inside, make sure to tell the dealer that when you're shopping around. He or she may be able to direct you to models that are most suitable for such use.

Indoor installations have special considerations.  The room should be properly ventilated to allow moisture to escape.  Using your hot tub for 15 minutes releases the equivalent water vapor as a shower of the same duration.  Installation of a bathroom fan or other venting system is a good idea to prevent excess condensation in the room.

Unless placing the spa on a suitable concrete slab, you will need to verify that the supporting floor structure will accommodate the filled weight of the spa with occupants.  A qualified contractor or a structural engineer can help you determine that requirement.  Check your spa's specifications for the estimated weight load of the filled unit.  (A gallon of water weighs approx. 8.35 lbs.)

If building a new room for the spa, a floor drain is a good idea since water may be splashed from the tub.  Select flooring which provides a good grip for wet feet.

Some people choose to install hot tubs indoors in order to obtain more privacy or so that they can use their hot tub all year round. You need to find a room (or remodel a room) that can stand up to dampness, both from people getting in and out of the hot tub, and from the perpetual humidity of the steamy water. Obviously, carpeted rooms don't work well. Some people decide to use enclosed porches or basements. Besides being able to withstand water, a room needs to be able to support the weight of a full hot tub.
