putting a swim spa inground

Palm Beach Hot Tubs – Swim Spa Experts in Southeast Florida

A built-in swim spa offers a sleek, high-end look and blends beautifully into your patio, deck, or indoor space. But before you commit to a recessed or in-ground installation, there are several key factors to consider.

🔧 Structural Planning
Swim spas are extremely heavy, especially when filled with water and in use. The base must be reinforced—often with a concrete pad or engineered support—to prevent shifting or settling.

💧 Drainage System
Enclosing your spa means you’ll need efficient drainage around the unit to prevent water from pooling during maintenance, rain, or spa overflow.

🔌 Access for Maintenance
Unlike portable spas, a built-in unit can be harder to service. You’ll need to design easy access points for pumps, filters, and electrical systems—ideally hidden but reachable.

Permits & Codes
In Palm Beach County and throughout South Florida, local building codes and electrical requirements may apply. A professional installation team is essential.

🌀 Ventilation (if indoor)
If your recessed swim spa is indoors or in a covered space, air circulation and humidity control must be carefully planned.

A built-in swim spa is a long-term investment in wellness and design. At Palm Beach Hot Tubs, we help homeowners make the right decisions for a safe, beautiful, and functional installation.
