In today’s fast pace of life, we all want to occasionally escape from the stress that surrounds us. One of the most popular ways to achieve relaxation is a hot tub. If you don’t have a garden or terrace, an indoor jacuzzi is a great way to relax. This article will guide you through the key aspects of setting up an indoor hot tub, including indoor humidity, building load capacity and other important information.
Indoor jacuzzi – advantages
One of the biggest benefits of installing an indoor hot tub is providing privacy. Regardless of whether you live in an urban environment or in a more remote location, placing a hot tub inside gives you privacy and protection from curious neighbors or passers-by. In addition, it provides exceptional comfort as it gives you easy access to relaxation without the need to leave your home.
Before setting up an indoor hot tub, it is crucial that you carefully plan your project.
1. The load-bearing capacity of the building
The weight of the hot tub and bathers is a lot, so it is extremely important to check the load capacity of your building. Before starting the installation, it makes sense to get the opinion of an expert or an engineer who will assess whether the building is able to support the weight of the pool. Additional structural changes are often required to ensure safety.
2. Access to the installation site
Consider the route by which the hot tub can be delivered to the desired location. Check whether there is enough space to get the hot tub through the door or window frame to the chosen location. Of course, the room should be large enough for installation and use. If you also thought of a stand for a thermal cover when buying a pool, consider this space as well. A normal pool support takes up about 50 cm of space next to the pool, and a support with the help of hydraulics takes up 15 cm of width, with the latter, the height must also be taken into account.
3. Accessibility for service work and maintenance
It is best to leave access to the pool from all sides. If this is not possible, at least the area of the control unit, which is usually located on the same side as the control panel, should be accessible. Otherwise, for the needs of the service, it will be necessary to empty the pool so that our service technicians can move it.
If you decide to install the indoor jacuzzi in the ground, make sure that you make a service shaft around the pool, which should be 50 cm wide.
4. Floors
The floor under the indoor hot tub must be made of materials that are resistant to moisture. Most often, ceramic tiles are used, which are easy to clean, waterproof and durable. If you are just at the stage of planning and furnishing the room, waterproofing is also recommended.
The floor must be properly sloped towards the drain to prevent water stagnation and improve drainage. The maximum permissible slope of the floor is 10 mm over a length of 2 m.
5. Electrical connection of hot tub
Make sure the electrical connection is on the side of the pool, not the bottom. JJSPA pools have an ABS base, which enables greater thermal insulation and component protection. Ensure that electrical wiring is properly installed and protected from moisture. Check whether the wiring should be three-phase or single-phase – this depends on the model of the spa pool.
6. Moisture control
One of the most important factors when setting up an indoor jacuzzi is controlling the humidity in the room. The water and high temperature of the pool cause increased humidity, which can lead to problems such as mold, rust and corrosion. Therefore, it is essential to have an efficient ventilation system that will remove moisture from the room. To reduce water condensation on walls, windows and other surfaces, it is good that the room is heated.
7. Use of chemicals
The smell of chemicals can be stronger when the hot tub is placed indoors. We recommend that you use milder chemicals for disinfection. Instead of chlorine, you can use, for example, bromine tablets, which have a less pronounced smell.
To reduce the use of chemicals, choose a pool that offers excellent filtration. All JJSPA pools have an ozone generator for effective filtration in addition to the cartridge filters. Some massage pools also have UV disinfection or a solinator, and some swimming pools also have a sand filter. Ask our sales representatives about additional filtration options that may not be included in your chosen hot tub.
8. Creating a pleasant atmosphere
Once the hot tub is installed and working flawlessly, you can add aesthetic elements such as lighting, decoration and furniture to create a pleasant atmosphere in the room. Also consider placing comfortable lounge chairs and chairs for relaxing by the pool, if space allows. You can upgrade your oasis of relaxation with a sauna.
Once everything is set up and ready, it’s time to enjoy the relaxation and health benefits of an indoor hot tub. Use your pool regularly to reduce stress, relieve muscle tension and improve your quality of life.
An indoor jacuzzi is an excellent investment in your health and relaxation. Make sure you consider all the above aspects so that you can enjoy carefree moments of relaxation in the comfort of your own home. Don’t forget about regular pool maintenance to keep it running at its best.
