Spa Bottoms
rick:
See what I mean?
And I disagree with the 5% figure. I'd add a 0 to the end of that 5. But that's just my opinion as a former "full of it" foam owner. :)
See, I can play nice.
Steve:
No problem Rick... You are allowed to disagree. :)

dazedand confused, ::) :)
I think this is an interesting topic and hope there are folks who can shed some light on what the big 6 hot tub makers actually have on the bottom. I don't think any sales literature addresses this.
What about it, dealers?

Chas:
The bottom of a HotSpring spa is sealed with a layer of 60# density closed cell polyurethane foam.
It is almost as hard as the shell material - but thinner. It works well - my delivery guys can't even ram the tips of the forks on my forklift through the stuff, and believe me - they try.

Dazed and condused. We looked at an Arctic Spa that had a full plastic bottom. Kinda like a full shell about 1/4'' thick and coming up about 4-6'' on the sides producing a mini casing that the tub sits in. I think?
In looking at the other method which is described by Steve is IMO more effective as it seals the base from moisture penetration.
