When I agreed<\/span> to test a SaluSpa Ibiza hot tub for work (it\u2019s a hard life, I know), I figured it would be a relatively simple process. I thought I\u2019d just put it on my deck and fill \u2019er up\u2014you can just put them anywhere, right? Wrong. At 222 gallons of water, this thing would weigh over 1 ton if you put two average-size adults in it, let alone the four to six that the gigantic box says it can hold.<\/p>\n

So no, you can\u2019t just place it on a deck, unless your deck is specifically built to withstand a literal ton of weight and water. In my backyard, straight on the grass, it would be. My going-to-native-prairie, raccoon-filled backyard, surrounded by shady oak trees with a penchant for raining branches and walnuts the second the wind hits more than 3 mph.<\/p>\n

I figured I could just plug it in anywhere. Wrong again. Technically, it\u2019s supposed to be on an isolated circuit. The manual recommends having a professional electrician come and set up an outlet dedicated to your hot tub and your hot tub alone. Even with the plug having built-in GCFI, similar to a hair dryer, you don\u2019t want to mess around with mixing water and electricity. I just plugged it into a heavy-duty outdoor extension cord (another no-no, please do not do this) and crossed my fingers, running to unplug it from the wall on my back porch every time it rained because I was terrified of starting a fire\u2014but not so terrified that I listened to the instructions in the first place. I digress.<\/p>\n
