Moving hot tub

16 years ago

Our hot tub currently is in our 14 x 38 4 season room( electric heat).I want to make it a better room( add a gas fireplace)my question is will moving the hot tub outside take away from the value of the house? I told DH it will add value as we will be able to use the room to it's full potential and not have to worry about the humidity.

Leesa, you should probably post this on the buying and selling homes forum, however, as a realtor, I would tell you, the sq footage in your home is worth more than a hot tub. Move the hot tub outside, make that area attractive and inviting, and use the room to its full potential.

I wouldn't want my hot tub indoors. IMHO, the hot tub experience can't be fully appreciated unless it's outside. Before buying our current tub, we tried it out in the showroom (a really pretty, tropical showroom at that!) and did.not.like how hot our heads/faces got and the overall feeling of claustrophobia. There's nothing like a starry sky overhead.

I agree with the post above. Move it outside, surround with some pretty flowers and a torch or two and it will make a nice oasis for your prospective buyer. Good luck!

Hello I'm new to the site. I have been given a hot tub and i am trying to figure out how to turn it into a fish pond It cracked over winter so I'm just going to seal it.. It works ... So can I use the jets and it has a little built in waterfall ???I know the jets are powerful so I would have to find a way to weaken them.... Any ideas.... I would like to use as much as the original hot tub as possible .

My Hot Springs spa is close to 13 years old now. All of the sudden a couple of years ago, it started leaking a lot. It goes down by a third in only 2-3 days while not running (except for the circulation pump). For some strange reason, it is a lot worse in the winter. I was told by the manufacturer to remove the wooden side trim and look for a wet spot, dig out the foam, and then fix whatever needs fixing there. I checked Spa Depot and got some good info. The main problem for me now is, it's too darn cold to turn the spa off! I'll just have to top it up every few days until the weather improves. Here is a link that might be useful: Spa Depot

If I want to take a bath, I want to be able to stretch out my legs. Babies have shorter legs :-) I sat in the Kohler Underscore yesterday 60 x 30 and the lumbar support is awesome! I'm 5'7" and had another 3 inches for my feet so could stretch my toes too! I need an alcove tub. https://www.us.kohler.com/us/underscore-60-x-30-alcove-bath-with-integral-apron-integral-flange-and-left-hand-drain/productDetail/bathing/1302655.htm?skuId=1302576&brandId=656492
