{"id":15,"count":1,"description":"A hot tub can be installed in less than a day once the foundation is ready.\r\n\r\nBut what kind of foundation do you need for your Master Spa?\r\n\r\nA hot tub requires a flat, level foundation surface \u2014 whether it\u2019s a concrete slab, reinforced deck, or firmly compacted soil with crushed gravel. There\u2019s also the option to have an in-ground hot tub. However, if you want to put your spa in the ground, you will need a concrete vault.\r\n\r\nFor concrete installations, you should go with a 4-inch-thick reinforced concrete base that can support 120 pounds per square foot.\r\n\r\nWhy is it best to use a concrete slap for your hot tub foundation?\r\n\r\nA hot tub is heavy and weighs even more when you fill it with water. Larger units can weigh more than 7,000 pounds when filled. A concrete hot tub foundation can support the weight of the spa filled with water and people.\r\n\r\nYour local Master Spas retailer can help you find a contractor or landscape company. These professionals can help you prepare the site for your spa, giving you peace of mind that your investment is safe and protected.\r\n\r\nA \"bad\" spa base can potentially void your warranty and cause damage to the structure of the spa.\r\n\r\nIf you want to install your spa on a spa pad, you still need to have the site prepared. Steps include removing sod and digging down at least 4 inches. You will also need stone and gravel before putting the spa pad down.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;","link":"https:\/\/www.masterspas.com\/blog\/tag\/hot-tub-foundation\/","name":"hot tub foundation","slug":"hot-tub-foundation","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n<title>hot tub foundation Archives<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"What is the best hot tub foundation for your Master Spa?
