There are many locations and considerations that you should consider when installing your new spa. The average hot tub or spa, filled with water weighs more than 5,000 pounds. The best place for a hot tub is on a concrete pad. The average concrete pad is 3 ½ inches thick and contains reinforcement wire.
Hot tubs do not run on a regular 120v circuit. Hot tub circuits need to be installed on the correct voltage circuit. All electrical circuits need to be protected by ground-fault-circuit-interrupters (GFCI) to protect you from electrocutions.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends installing and using ground-fault circuit-interrupters (GFCIs) for protection against hazards involving electrical circuits and underwater lighting circuits in and around pools, spas, and hot tubs. The National Electric Code (NEC) requires that a disconnect switch is within visible distance from the pump, but at least 5 feet away from the edge of the tub.
