Has anyone seen something like this before? Old house with 90s hot tub

(1/3) > >>

MountainRenovation:
Hi everyone, new user here and hoping to see if anyone has had experience with an old hot tub like this before. Thank you for any help!

My wife and I just bought a foreclosure house last year and have been working on renovating it in our free time. Since it was a foreclosure, we didn't have an opportunity to speak with the original owners so we have no additional details about this hot tub. We have finally been able to uncover and clean it out and it doesn't look like it has been touched for a very long time. From what I know about the house, the sunroom and hot tub were an addition that happened in the 90s so it could have been sitting since around that time. The entire sunroom is poured cement and it looks like the hot tub was inserted into the cement at that time. It is well below the ground level so it doesn't appear that there would be any pump or heaters inside the tub itself. Could it be possible that they were using an external pump/heater somehow? The second picture shows the only openings or pipes I can find that are connected to the tub, but it still doesn't look like what I would need for return and exit piping so I'm scratching my head as to how this thing ever operated.

A.O.:
I like the looks and configuration of it. I'm thinking those are controls without the knobs on them.
Looking out those windows, is there an access panel out there somewhere to get to the insides?

MountainRenovation:
There seems to be no sign of any access panels unfortunately. It is buried in cement and when I look from the outside of my house all I can see is the cement for the foundation. The controls pictured also don't have any electric components and I can't find any wiring that would have been run to the tub in the house... It's very odd but I'm worried the previous owner just sunk it in the cement and didn't think to plan for repairs or having access to the insides.

Maybe it's wifi controlled ;D

This is 7/10 people that sink their spa into a deck.

Well I hope you find out whats going on and can get it running, good luck and keep us informed please.

There is no control panel to turn it on is there???
