Been watching this tub for a while, finally came down to our price point and we pulled the trigger. The gentlemen who delivered the tub put it right where we wanted, on a pallet in the back yard. Excellent service. We were in the process of installing the cement pad at the time. Once the deck, the electric and the pad were ready we slid it into place. The access panel is a bit hap hazard as the screws just run into the plastic tub. One actually was practically all the way through the panel. I added washers since you will be required to take off the panel several times over the lifetime of the tub and the constant screwing and unscrewing will strip the plastic. After filling we were soaking in an 87 degree tub in few hours (not a problem cause it was still over 90 degrees here in Texas and we just spent the better part of the day cutting rails and installing decking). I think we're gonna love this.
