The Install Process

Get your Strong Spa up and running in 9 easy steps.

Prep Your Foundation

Prepare a level surface for our base to rest on. Learn how to determine the best location for your spa.

Prep Your Electrical

The certified electrician should pre-install a 240-volt, 50 or 60 amp electrical service attached to a GFCI breaker from a safe distance from the tub.

Unload Your Spa

Carry the hot tub or use a flatbed truck capable of supporting the weight and dimensions of the hot tub and drive it as close to the installation site as possible.

Spa Placement

Arrange to have a few strong people on hand for a short period, to off load the spa and transport it by hand the rest of the way.

Get Connected

Connect all pumps, hoses, cut-off valves and any other connections specific to that particular hot tub model.

Fill Your Spa

Fill with a garden hose using cold water through the filter canister, preventing airlock, until 2 inches above the highest back jet (not neck jet).

Connect Your Electrical

Instruct the electrician to hook up the electric service and then follow manufacturer instructions on initial startup of that particular model.

Test and Set

Try all jets, pumps, lights and features to determine if all are working correctly. Set the thermostat to 100 degrees and make sure the heater works.

Treat Your Water

Treat the hot tub chemically and place the hot tub cover on the tub to retain the heat until you reach the desired temperature.

Important Note...

Save all Strong Spa paperwork, such as instructions, warranty card and model information regarding your hot tub.
