It gives you an opportunity to see whether you connect with the contractor and make sure that your budget is reasonable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you talk with potential contractors, you can gauge their experience, work ethic, and excitement for the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be clear about your budget as you discuss the project. While there can be unexpected costs that come up in a backyard makeover, you want to choose a contractor who respects your budget. It can be uncomfortable talking about money but you should get the most out of your investment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Questions to Ask Your Contractor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Are you licensed and insured?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have you ever worked on a project that included a swim spa or hot tub?

It will make the project go more smoothly and help you make your vision a reality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But even the most knowledgeable contractor will want to know a few things about the swim spa before getting started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Swim Spa Weight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The foundation will need to support the weight of the spa when filled with water. Some models can weigh up to 25,000 pounds when filled with water \u2014 about the size of two elephants. The weight of your swim spa can be found under specifications on the swim spa model webpage or in the owner&#8217;s manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Power Source<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/swim-spas\">Swim spas by MasterSpas<\/a>\u00a0require a dedicated 240V\/50-amp GFCI hook-up. While a licensed electrician should install the hook-up, the contractor will likely want to see the electrical diagrams. Also important: Whether a trench will be needed for the power line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Power Lines<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Swim spas should not be installed near low-hanging power lines. It\u2019s important that the contractor makes note of the power lines that connect to the house from a pole. If you have underground lines, it\u2019s important to have them marked before any digging takes place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Equipment Access<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>MasterSpas recommends that there be at least three feet on every side of the spa. In the event that your swim spa needs service, you want the technician to be able to have enough room to take off the skirting panel and access the equipment bay.\u00a0 If you are choosing a recessed installation or putting your swim spa in a deck, you will need a trap door or &#8220;bunker&#8221; access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" src=\"https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/master-spas-swim-spa-backyard-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"swim spa makeover\" class=\"wp-image-2097\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/master-spas-swim-spa-backyard-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/master-spas-swim-spa-backyard-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/master-spas-swim-spa-backyard-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/master-spas-swim-spa-backyard-1536x1027.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/master-spas-swim-spa-backyard-390x260.jpg 390w, https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/master-spas-swim-spa-backyard-520x348.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/master-spas-swim-spa-backyard-740x495.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/master-spas-swim-spa-backyard.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One thing to consider when planning your swim spa installation is the view of and from the swim spa. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Swim Spa Planning Considerations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A contractor or designer can help you see how your space will look and feel with a swim spa by MasterSpas.
