Considerations When Placing a Hot Tub Inside the House

• Foundation. A filled hot tub can weigh more than 5,000 pounds, meaning a strong foundation or structural support is needed. Unless you plan to place it on a basement or garage concrete slab, you need some kind of structural support. 
• Installation. You will need to carefully consider the size of the hot tub you want to install to be sure that it will fit through any doorways and other impediments in the way of its placement. Make sure it fits well in the space you want to place it, allowing for back and side clearance for maintenance. 
• Plumbing and Ventilation. You will need a source of running water, complete with a spigot and hose for filling the hot tub. A drain will be necessary for both spilled water and for draining the tub on occasion as part of its regular maintenance. Good ventilation is essential for lowering the humidity level in the room in which the hot tub is located. You definitely will want to control the ambient dampness and humidity, or drywall and other furnishings could be detrimentally affected. 
• Electrical. Hot tubs need a source of electricity, usually a 220V connection. Depending on where you locate your inside hot tub, you may need a licensed electrician to make the necessary installation.
