If you’ve got a leaky, busted old hot tub sitting in your Stockton backyard it’s probably past time for you to remove that and get it gone! This unit might be something you actually “inherited” from a previous owner but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t want to give it a try. First get rid of that old hot tub by hiring a professional crew to show up and take it away in one session. Next, start shopping for your new hot tub.

As you go shopping you’ll be presented with several options. The classic hot tub is an open tank that is filled with water. It’s self-contained and usually placed outdoors. A spa is considered a built into the ground type of hot tub that is often built directly next to a pool. A whirlpool tub is typically found inside a master bathroom and has jets for soothing massage action. Jacuzzi is the brand name of a specific line of products. So can a hot tub be a spa with whirlpool jets made by Jacuzzi? Technically yes!

If you are getting a new hot tub and have removed the old one you have the opportunity to start fresh with a new placement. Before settling on a place look up: Your hot tub needs to be at least 10 feet away from any overhead power lines. You’ll also want to make sure the hot tub is going to be near a hose for your water source and by an outlet for power to work the jets. You could even go extremely stylish by building a deck or gazebo around your hot tub.

Because your hot tub is outdoors and the water is “standing” you’ll want to treat it with chlorine tablets about once a week. Once you become a regular hot tub user you’ll discover how common those tablets are to find. You should also have a cover that locks. A hot tub is too tempting a spot for little kids or even wandering neighbors!

Stockton can get fairly cold in the winter: you also might want to winterize your hot tub by wrapping any pipes or equipment with proper insulation. Taking a dip in a hot tub while frost or snow is on the ground is actually an extremely delightful experience.

Now to the issue of getting rid of that old hot tub. Clearly, this is not something that can just be popped into the back of the SUV. There are many moving parts to a hot tub that have to be broken down. If you’re good with a hammer and screw driver go for it! But then what are you going to do with all those pieces? Unless you’re going to continue chopping them up, you’re not going to be able to toss them out. Hiring a crew who is experienced with hot tub disposal is really the only way to go:  Junk King Stockton.   They’ll be able to show up with the tools, the manpower and the truck big enough to haul it all away. They’ll also know just where to take all those pieces. The sooner that old hot tub can be taken away, the quicker you can get to relaxing!
