Title: indoor spa
Post by: dmh807 on June 23, 2004, 01:58:10 pm
We're getting a hot tub and will be locating it in our new sunroom.  Any suggestions for installing it and upkeep inside?  Anyone have any problems doing this?

Ventilation is very important! The only cases of respitory problems (i.e. hottub lung) that I have ever heard of are from indoor spas!

just a question, but why are you putting it in your sunlounge, and not outside?

Autoplay put up a post with a pic of an indoor set up on June 1st.  Just ensure that you get proper ventilation that is designed for the volume of space that you are going to have. If the room is attached to the main living  (house) ara then you must also ensure that the two areas are kept seperate. A hot tub like anything else containing water produces a lot of mopisture. Unless that is well designed and built you have the potential to produce significant indoor air quality problems.

We designed the sunroom to include the hot tub.  It is a new construction and the contractor made provisions for the moisture.  Big exhaust fan, screened windows and materials designed for a moist environment.   I just didn't know if anyone else had done this.  Thanks for the  help in advance.

well it sounds as though you've had this professionally planned out, and your contractor is aware of any moisture issues. I dont think you should have a problem.
