What foundation does a hot tub need?
A hot tub needs a flat, level, load-bearing base that can carry the filled weight of 1.5 to 3 tonnes (up to 8 tonnes for a swim spa). The best options are a reinforced concrete pad of 100mm or more, paving slabs on a compacted sub-base, or a purpose-made spa pad.
13 amp vs 32 amp hot tub?
A 13 amp hot tub plugs into a standard UK socket on about 3kW, so it heats slower and cannot run the heater and jets at full power together. A 32 amp hot tub is hardwired by an electrician on a dedicated 7.4kW supply, heats faster, holds temperature better in winter and runs the heater and jets at the same time.
