Jacuzzi J-470 -- can cover open to the side, instead of the back?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Jacuzzi Jim:
  Not particularly this one but it would work.   And yes if the drain is accessible great,  if not just get the pump.   I have one and it works fast, and I can still use the exterior drain in I want.

  Cover shelf might work, it's a pretty big cover.     Getting the cover off is always easy, getting it back on by yourself or just your wife can be a pain, specially for older people.   Not saying your old but I am sure you get what I mean  ;)    That being said if there are two of you then getting it back on is easier.

The submersible pump sounds like the way to go -- let's me have my cake and eat it, too, in terms of which direction the hot tub is placed on the slab in relation to my deck.  But, is there any downside to never again having access to the drain (which would be recessed under my deck)?   


Again, not recessing the whole tub, just the front left corner (30" down the left side, 30" across the front from the left (to where the access panel starts) -- but just so happens the section I want to recess includes the drain!

Do you live in an area the sees freezing temp in the winter?

Jacuzzi Jim:
 If the drain is blocked shouldn't be an issue, you could add an extended hose off the drain, but like Doc mentioned if you freeze in the Winter might be an issue..

Yes, I'm in Delaware (mid-Atlantic) so while we never see below zero F, teens and 20s are commom in the dead of winter.
