My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

    It could be a "spool".

      what type of hottub is it?
    • 11 years ago

      How do you access the plumbing and pumps on the hot tub?


    • 11 years ago

      Typically sunken portable spas are placed inside a concrete vault with proper drainage or a sump pump to prevent a tub from "floating" out of the hole. Or they can be placed in a very well draining rock bed with french drain. The vault will have protruding section in front of the access panel to allow, well, "access."

      It looks like stone on all four sides of the hot tub. How do you move the stone on the side that has the access panel - to allow access?
