Assessing Feasibility for Moving Your Spa Pool:

Considerations:

Before initiating the moving process, assess the feasibility of moving your spa pool. You will need to consider factors such as the spa’s size, weight, accessibility, condition, and your intended destination.

Planning and Preparation:

Secure Permits and Permissions:
Check with local authorities regarding permits or regulations that may apply to spa pool transportation, especially if crossing public roads or navigating tight spaces.
Drain the Spa Pool:
Thoroughly drain the spa pool, removing all water. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for proper draining to prevent damage.
Disconnect Utilities:
Safely disconnect any electrical, plumbing, or gas connections associated with the spa pool. This may require the assistance of a licensed professional.
Secure the Spa Pool:
Prepare the spa pool for transportation by securing the cover, removing or securing any loose components, and ensuring the structure is stable and intact.

Transporting Your Spa Pool:

Professional Assistance:

If hiring professionals, they will handle the logistics of spa pool transportation. They will use specialised equipment such as cranes, dollies, and trucks to move the spa pool to its new location safely.

DIY Transport:

If you choose to move the spa pool yourself, gather a capable team to assist you—rent or purchase equipment like a spa dolly or trailer specifically designed for transporting spa pools. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and safety guidelines for loading, securing, and unloading the spa pool.

Reinstallation and Setup:

Destination Preparation:

Ensure the new location suits the spa pool, with a level and stable foundation capable of supporting its weight. Verify that electrical, plumbing, and gas connections are in place and meet safety requirements.

Professional Assistance:

Seek professional assistance for reinstallation and setup. Professionals will handle the electrical and plumbing connections, levelling the spa, and ensuring it is appropriately secured.

DIY Setup:

If conducting the setup yourself, carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions for reinstallation. Connect the electrical, plumbing, and gas components as per guidelines. Level the spa using shims if necessary, ensuring stability and balance.

Testing and Maintenance:

Water Filling and Chemical Balancing:

Fill the spa pool with water, carefully monitoring the water level. Test and balance the water chemistry, adjusting pH, alkalinity, and sanitiser levels as the manufacturer recommends.

Equipment Testing:

Ensure all spa pool equipment, such as pumps, filters, and jets, function correctly. Perform necessary maintenance or repairs as needed.

Finally:

Moving a spa pool may seem like a challenging endeavour. If conducting the move yourself, it is crucial to follow safety guidelines and manufacturer instructions closely. By taking these steps, you can relocate your spa pool and continue enjoying its relaxation and therapeutic benefits in its new, refreshed environment.
