How do you remove a hot tub?

-
  1. Consult the instruction manual
    Read through the hot tub's instruction manual to learn the particulars of the tub's workings. Look for information about the electrical elements, heater hook-up and gas lines.

  3. Unplug all electrical wiring
    Locate all sources of electricity, and unplug them. Because most hot tubs have high-voltage connections, find a main electrical disconnect nearby. Shut down the main panel first, then isolate the power to smaller panels.
  4. Remove all wiring
    Disconnect the gas line. Remove all pipes and wiring associated with the hot tub.
  5. Disassemble the skirt
    Use a screwdriver to remove the skirt around the hot tub. Use a hammer to pry the nails lose if parts are nailed in. Saw apart large pieces if you are discarding the tub. Otherwise, store them in plastic for future use.

  7. Drain the tub
    Remove all filters from the tub. Pull the drain out, or locate the drain hose. Unscrew the cap, and attach a garden hose to the drain. Attach the other end of the hose to the water drainage location, and turn the valve to open the drain. Let the tub drain completely. Pour antifreeze into the piping and drain system if storing the hot tub.
  8. Remove the tub
    If you are disposing of the hot tub, use a jigsaw to cut the tub into manageable pieces. If you are storing the hot tub, ask three to four strong people to help you roll the tub away.

Sometimes it's difficult to differentiate between the best hot tubs and something that looks like a quality spa , but is really a bust. As a good rule of thumb, if it seems like a too-good-to-be-true deal, it probably is. Below are a few points on how to spot a hot tub spa that may be a little subpar. Inflatable spas are by far the lowest of quality, because, unlike the best spas, the outside shells are not built to endure a lot of bumps and abuse and will eventually puncture. While inflatable hot tubs are cheap options, and they are easy to take down and move, they don't come with the jet streams and other features necessary to meet any therapeutic needs. One thing to look for is where the components, especially the pumps, are made. Stay away from products that have been imported from outside of the U.S. where manufacturing of these parts is not as closely regulated. Often these cheaper parts run hotter and use more electricity, both of which will end up costing y...

How does a hot tub or sauna affect HBP?

Hot tubs and saunas pose no risk to healthy people as long as they are not misused. People with high blood pressure should tolerate saunas well as long as they are not experiencing a  hypertensive crisis . Heat from hot tubs and saunas cause blood vessels to open up (called vasodilation.) Vasodilation also happens during normal activities like a brisk walk. If your doctor has told you to avoid moderate exercise, you should also be careful when considering hot tubs and saunas . People with high blood pressure should not move back and forth between cold water and hot tubs or saunas . This could cause an increase in blood pressure. Drinking alcohol and using a sauna isn't a good combination either, so don't mix the two.
