|
| Q.
|
What do I need to
provide when you get here?
|
| A.
|
1 Find a flat
level surface at least 8 feet square. Concrete, patios, and
decks are the best followed by grass. Grass may start to yellow or
brown depending on the health of the grass and the duration of the
rental.
2 Check to make
sure the location is accessible (dimensions are below). We are
always willing to try within reason!
3. Find at least one
water source. Outdoor faucet, Indoor faucet, Washer
connection, etc are all good choices. We can also pump from an
above ground pool if not too far away (30ft).
We will bring a 50
foot hose. If additional length is needed please have it ready or
ask us when we confirm your booking.
4. Find a standard
electrical outlet (110-120v)
within 50 feet of where the tub will be placed. We recommend that no
other items are being used on the same circuit. If additional
length is needed, please ask beforehand.

| Q.
|
Will the area
around the tub get wet?
|
| A.
|
Yes, your area
will get wet. We recommend placing the tub outdoors or in a place
where water can easily drain away. The amount will depend on
how many people are in the hot tub, and the number of times people
get in and out.
|
| Q.
|
Can I pay with my
VISA or MasterCard?
|
| A.
|
No. Unfortunately
we only accept credit cards for the security deposit. Most customers
prefer to pay by either cash or check. Yes, personal checks are ok
also.
|
| Q.
|
I love these
tubs! Can I buy one?
|
| A.
|
Yes! We
rotate our tubs every once in a while. All are well traveled but
generally have low operating times. Ask us if we have one to
sell. We offer free delivery, setup, basic chemical package, and
maintenance training for every tub we sell.
