Here are a few things to keep in mind when selecting your installation location(s). Generally outdoors is best. An indoor location will require careful planning to provide humidity control and splash and tub drainage in the enclosing room. For outdoor installations, consider the following: The closer your tub is to your house, the more prone you might be to use it. Closer proximity to power and gas sources (as applicable) is a cost-saving advantage. The system will generally run automatically for at least a minute, twice an hour. While the pumps are very quiet, especially on low speed, light sleepers may not want the system to end up right next to their bedroom window, for example. Be mindful of watershed during rainstorms from adjacent structures and how they will impact the hot tub. If you’re in a snowy area, consider how snowfall, snow shed, and snow clearing will impact prospective installation spots. Privacy and atmosphere are important. You will likely want to set your hot tub in a secluded spot away from it all.
