Technical Guide for Hot Tubs Such as Island Escape Spas and Balboaspas

If you just purchased a hot tub or are considering the purchase of Lowe’s hot tubs, then there are some technical aspects you will want to acknowledge. We will examine all the different steps that are involved in installing new Island Escape spas or Balboaspas from an electrical standpoint and the plumbing that is involved.

We will first go over the installation of hot tubs such as Island Escape or Balboaspas. First and foremost, you will want to have a clear idea of where you want to place the spa for practical reasons or for aesthetic reasons. Once you find the perfect place you ideally want to place the hot tub, you will want to check to see if the surface is level and sturdy. This is important considering some Lowe’s hot tubs can weigh thousands of pounds once filled with water. If you are putting your Island Escape spa or Balboaspas inside the house, make sure the room you want to put it has excellent ventilation so that the steam won’t ruin the walls. Also, when determining the location your spa will reside, you will want to make sure there is an outlet within reach so that you can plug the hot tub in. Once you found a sturdy location and somewhere you can plug the hot tub into an outlet, then it is time to fill it with water. Once the Lowe’s hot tubs are filled with water, it’s important to add whatever necessary chemicals to balance the water and make sure it is sanitary to use.

Next we will discuss the two types of electrical Lowe’s hot tubs available. You will have the choice between a 220 volt hot tub and a 110 volt hot tub. The 110 volt Island Escape hot tubs and Balboaspas are convenient since most homes have 110v outlets installed in there homes. This means that you can virtually just plug in your hot tub and it’s ready to go. The downside to the 110 volt Lowe’s hot tubs is that they fail to keep the water hot in really cold climates if being used for hours. But the 110 volt Island Escape hot tubs and Balboaspas tend to be less expensive since you don’t have to alter your home outlets. On the other hand, the 220 volt Lowe’s hot tubs tend to be more expensive because it is possible you may have to go through the trouble of having a technician come out and install the new outlet and go through the process of getting permits passed to make sure it is allowed. But these Lowe’s hot tubs are nice because they can keep the water very hot, even if the temperature outside is below freezing.

We will also go over how to install and how to fix any plumbing problems that may occur with your Island Escape hot tub and Balboaspas. Generally any repairs done to the plumbing aspects of the hot tub requires cutting out the damaged part of pipe and then installing a new part. We’ll go over the best tools for cutting the pipe in a clean cut way, how to smooth out any cuts, and how to apply primer and glue correctly.
