Hot Tubs are usually installed in a variety of ways, such as in-ground, semi recessed and freestanding. In this blog, we will discuss the characteristics of these installation methods.
In-ground and semi recessed
The installation method of an in-ground Hot Tub is similar to that of a semi-recessed hot tub. The in-ground hot tub hides 90% of the Spa Tub underground, leaving only the acrylic part exposed. Therefore, if you choose an in-ground installation, you can purchase a hot tub with simple skirts. The semi-recessed hot tub hides about 50% of the hot tub. If you have a demand for appearance, you can choose to install LED lights on the skirts that are not hidden to enhance the beauty of the hot tub. There are many benefits to hiding most or even all of the cabinet of the hot tub underground. First, hiding the cabinet underground will save visual space and make the surrounding space look more spacious. Secondly, it can also improve the thermal insulation of the hot tub and reduce energy consumption. In addition, it is convenient for users to enter the hot tub without the help of any steps. However, there are many factors to consider in this installation method, such as the need to cover the Jacuzzi Tub in time when not in use to prevent children or pets from falling, and the need to reserve inspection ports and drainage. The installation will also be relatively cumbersome and require excavation of the ground. If you don’t want to dig the ground, having a hot tub in decking can also achieve an in-ground or semi-embedded effect, allowing you to create an impressive garden or outdoor landscape.
Freestanding
Freestanding installation is the easiest installation method, which does not require too much construction work or too much additional consideration. Users only need to place the hot tub on a solid concrete ground and install water and electricity. Although it is not as convenient to use as in-ground or semi-embedded hot tubs, and it does not look as fashionable. But it is flexible and easier to move than other installation methods, and it also facilitates future maintenance. In terms of visuals, you can also choose some fashionable skirts styles and add skirt lights, which can also become the highlight of your garden.
Whether it is in-ground or freestanding installation, each has its own advantages. If you are not sure which installation method to use, please tell us your needs and we have professional sales representatives to provide you with solutions.
