Before even deciding which Hot Tub Spa you like, careful consideration must be given to where it is to be located, taking into account such matters as power supply, water supply, drainage etc. as explained in the following pages.

Once you have chosen your Spa, you still have to consider carefully how it will get to its final position.  Again, this guide tries to ensure that you are aware of all the major pitfalls involved before they are met when your new Spa arrives.
