FAQ -What's Required- installation, delivery, payment, and pick up details.
Reasonably flat level surfaces at least 7ft in diameter, grass or patio okay- very "slight" gradient allowed up to 1-2" max drop over 7ft. No good on long rough grass, or really lumpy surfaces. If unsure please ask before booking.
13 amp socket up to 15 yards approximately max from site of hot tub. Pacing out 15 long strides should give you this distance.
Water supply can be up to 15 yards approximately away, normally taken from garden mains tap, plus inside hot and cold tap supplies may also be needed. (We have connectors for most taps and hoses).
Rio Spa takes roughly 12 hrs to heat from Cold tap, and Easy spa 36 hrs. If filling from your combi much faster initial heating times can be achieved.
Running costs - it roughly takes £7 to heat our largest tub and less than £1 a day to keep it at 40°C or 104°F with the tub cover on.
Hot tubs do not require permanent plumbing.
Note-- if seeking prices elsewhere remember not all hire companies supply the same complete set up as we do.
"The new Rio spa" this solid spa will need a minimum width of 76cm/31 inches as it is rolled in on its side, check any gate widths, and that there's enough space to get round corners as is 90cm/74" inches long, we must be notified if you have steps as we would need help to move up and down. The tub's heating system is comparable to the luxury high end of the hot tub market giving faster heating times of up to 2.5C per hour and keeps heating with jets on and cover off. So for those that like it hot hot and plenty of power through the jets- this is the one! Comes delivered on a trailer.
*************Please remember - Rio spa space required to get around house.

What You Get
All Tubs fully sanitised prior to delivery as per Health & Safety guide lines.
As the tub is filling up we will guide you through all that you need to know for a trouble free hire. All you may have to do is disconnect hose from tap once filled up. Please note the water in any hot tub can last up to 3 months if looked after. Try to avoid Muddy feet, Fake tan lotions, Deodorants, wearing unsuitable clothing, overloading and excessive use, clean filter regularly. Water sanitisers if present in water will clear most lotions from skin as is meant to do and will help keep the tub sanitised but will stop being effective if overworked which may require you to re-fill & re-sanitise tub.
What you will get supplied with a standard hire:
Spa complete with insulated cover.
Set of instructions and guidance notes.
Sanitisers i.e. chemicals with instructions.
Up to 15 yards waterproof extension lead.
RCD (Electrical circuit breaker plug for outside appliances).
Champagne bucket if required plus ducks!
Last Day of hire
For the Rio spa - hose for drain down will already be supplied for filling up. If not able to drain down someone will have to be home to allow us access to electricity supply for our pump to remove water. If any damage to hot tub one adult will need to be present at pick up time.
For Easy Spa in a Box--You do not have to be home for pick-up, all we ask is you put our hose with connector supplied on to tub drain valve and open valve to drain away tub at least 5 hrs before we arrive or the evening before so tub should be emptied in time for us picking up and cleaning it out. Please leave out our cables, RCDs, chemicals tray and hoses. If any damage done to tub the hiree should be present.
Payment and Delivery

How much experience in the hot tub business?
8 years roughly in Scotland and abroad, so we have a fair idea of what to do and what's needed, some hire companies have limited experience in hot tub hire and sales, with the experience we have in the hot tub business - you could say we are specialists - but more important to you is that we know what we are doing and are friendly at the same time! Hiring a hot tub is still fairly new to Scotland but has been catching on pretty fast year by year, sometimes its a good idea to book ahead to get the right tub you want and at the right price if you can, although we do try to help out with last minute requests.
