Planning for a Spa

This in-ground spa blends
with its surroundings.

Whether you are planning a backdoor retreat or an indoor getaway, you'll need to consider a variety of issues before you purchase and install a home spa or hot tub.

Although less involved than planning for a pool, installing a spa or hot tub isn't a task to be taken lightly.

Key issues you'll need to think about include:

• Should I get a spa or hot tub?
• Do I want a portable or in-ground unit?
• Will it be indoors or outside?
• What level of disruption will the installation entail?
• What zoning restrictions will I face?
• How will my insurance be affected?
• How can I keep my family and guests safe?
