Setting up An Indoor Hot Tub
Posted by Kryssie on Feb 3, 2008
After recently moving into a new, larger house, we realized that we had a few rooms that just seemed a bit empty. A few months after we had moved in, he was complaining about back pain one evening. I used that opportunity to mention getting a hot tub and how wonderful it would be for his aches and pains.
A week later, he approached me and mentioned how we needed to make some changes to our house, if I really did want to get a hot tub installed indoors. I listened to the changes that needed to be made and we started to make the preparations.
First, we needed better ventilation. There was no way that we could put in a hot tub without having a ceiling or ventilation fan installed. There needed to be a way for the moisture to escape. We put in two small ventilation bathroom type fans that would be as quiet as possible. We also agreed that we would need to put down some new flooring. Putting an indoor hot tub in on top of carpet was not a wise idea.
We went shopping for some ceramic tile that could withstand getting wet on a daily basis. This was an opportunity to redo the entire sunroom, making it look incredibly appealing. Along with putting in new floor tiles, we created a tiny drain as well. That way, should there ever be a lot of excess water or splashing, it wouldn’t just lay on the floor, some of it would start to drain outside.
After planning the preparations and getting a new floor, we went shopping to find the perfect indoor hot tub. After quite a lot of shopping around, we ended up placed an order for The Concord 4-5 Person Luxury Spa from ThermoSpas.
Before I knew it, I was sitting in my new hot tub, watching the rain fall right outside, from the comfort of my own sunroom. While the wind blew outside, I was snuggly warm and cozy inside.
