Did they give you a reason why?  We do it all the time with nordics. They are the easiest out of all the tubs we sell to do it (tub weighs much less then other brands we sell). I don’t understand why they wouldn’t. My guys love delivering Nordics because they weigh 1/3 of the other brands we carry

@HotTubGuy, they told me they have run into lots of problems and don't like to do it. That said, I ended up talking with their main service guy yesterday and I think he will come out and do it.

They also told me it's really rare to trench the conduit. I'm completely confused. From online forums and people I know, no one has conduit just running across their lawn or even at the bottom of their hot tub.

And this is the biggest dealer (I think) in Colorado!

A.O.:
I've never seen the conduit NOT trenched!, mine is trenched ant then comes up through the concrete pad... I cant imagine it running above ground.

Is it too late to find a new dealer??

I had my tub delivered and set in the location I wanted on the deck. They installed the cover lifter and cover and placed the steps on my deck and left. I had my 240GFCI pre wired and from the GFCI to the tub I ran the wires thru sealtite conduit under the deck. After they left I chose a location inside the tubs equipment compartment where I wanted to drill and missing the decks joists and I drilled a hole just slightly larger than the sealtite size and went thru the floor of the compartment the ABS pan and the 5/4 decking. I crawled under the deck and shoved it thru the hole and ran the sealtite thru the side of the electrical compartment using a fitting.

From the time they left till I was hooked up was about an hour and a couple hours to fill the tub and test the pumps and 24 hours later I was soaking in it.

The look of having it all hidden under the deck is what I was going for.

I agree if you use ridged conduit and have it sticking up and then try and drill a hole and lift the tub over the conduit would be a real pain.

The only problems I have seen is if people don’t follow the directions and just put the conduit wherever. If you followed the owners manual directions it’s a fairly large spot you can put the conduit at it should be easy for them to do. It’s not rare where we are to trench conduit.
