We all know water and electricity don’t mix and if you’re considering installing a hot tub in your garden, the electrics for your new tub must be prepared by a qualified electrician.
Whilst hot tubs don’t require a permanent water supply, they do need a permanent suitable electricity supply. Hot tubs fall into the same category as swimming pools when it comes to installation regulations and whilst they are a great way to relax and enjoy the outdoors throughout the year, they do need to be installed and cared for correctly.
If you’re considering buying a hot tub it’s important to remember that you really do get what you pay for. It can be tempting to go for a bargain, but a poor quality hot tub will at best be unreliable or downright dangerous in the worst cases. Buying a cheap hot tub can end up costing more in the long run in repairs but when it comes to safety, finding a bargain really isn’t worth it.
Before your hot tub is installed you will need to ensure that it will have an adequate electricity supply via an RCD circuit breaker. This is an incredibly important piece of kit, especially if you’re going to use electricity outdoors, and the electricity supply to your tub should always be installed by a qualified electrician.
A professionally installed hot tub should give you years of pleasure but to ensure that it is reliable and safe to use, it must be regularly serviced. Again a qualified electrician should do this and any repairs, no matter how minor, must always be carried out by a professional.
