How to Build a Hot Tub With a Kit
- 1). Purchase the kit and place it on a bed of sand in your chosen location. Level the tank and determine where the deck should extend. Frame the deck by placing four posts around the tub and boxing in the rest of the hot tub.
- 2). Install the jets and intakes in the tub using the supplied hardware and gaskets. Plumb the jets and intakes to the pump (mounted under the deck) with the supplied piping.
- 3). Install the skimmer and filter using the hardware provided in the kit. Mount the gaskets in place securely to prevent leaks.
- 4). Plumb the heater into the jets and hook up the electrical wiring for the heater and pump according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- 5). Screw decking boards onto your deck frame and fill the tank with water. Prime the pump, flip the switch, and start enjoying your hot tub.
