You need a level surface in order to have an even water level in your tub. This surface has to be firm and solid to prevent uneven settling that can damage the spa. Most hot tub warranties require a 4″ reinforced concrete pad.
With an Arctic spa, the base preparation is quite simple. You just need to be sure that the site is sufficiently firm and level. Our spas have a pressure-moulded fiberglass “Forever Floor” that gives you the option of placing the spa on the lawn or even right on the ground.
Note that a Coyote Spa does require a base or pad of some type. Popular options for both Arctic and Coyote include pavers, sidewalk blocks, timbers, washed rock, and commercial spa pads. Any of these will provide a level, solid, well-drained surface for your new spa.
