How to install a jacuzzi in an attic or outdoor terrace?

Install a jacuzzi on an outdoor terrace or on a penthouse roof is a growing trend among those looking to create a private outdoor relaxation space. However, this type of installation requires detailed planning that combines comfort, safety, and energy efficiency.

Below, we explain the essential steps for safely and professionally installing a rooftop hot tub , taking into account the requirements for a rooftop jacuzzi , the weight and dimensions of a jacuzzi, as well as key aspects of rooftop jacuzzi maintenance to ensure its durability.

1. Step 1: Evaluate the structure and strength of your attic or terrace
   Before considering the hot tub model, the first step is to check that the structure can support the total weight of the jacuzzi filled with water and with people inside.
   
   The weight and dimensions of a hot tub vary depending on the model: a compact hot tub can weigh around 800 kg when full, while a 5-seater model can exceed 1,500 kg. It's essential that a technician or architect perform a structural load calculation, ensuring that the terrace or penthouse meets safety regulations.
   
   Aquavia Spa 's City Line hot tubs are ideal for these spaces, as they are designed to offer maximum comfort with reduced weight and efficient insulation that minimizes energy consumption.
   
   
2. Step 2: Choosing the Right Type of Outdoor Hot Tub
   The second step is to choose the most suitable hot tub model based on the available space and environmental conditions. For a hot tub on an outdoor terrace, it's advisable to opt for models specifically designed to withstand the elements, with reinforced structures and thermal covers.
   
   Aquavia Spa hot tubs incorporate the Energy Saving Cover system, which maintains water temperature and reduces energy costs. In addition, models like the Cube Ergo Spa and the Pulse Spa offer compact design, efficiency, and comfort, perfect for penthouses or urban terraces.
   
3. Step 3: Check regulations and necessary permits
   Before starting the installation of hot tub in an attic, it's necessary to check local regulations and, in some cases, obtain permits from the city council or the community of owners.
   
   Requirements for a hot tub on a deck typically include:
   
   Community approval in case of shared building.
   
   Technical report on load and resistance.
   
   Certification of electrical and drainage installation.
   
   Complying with these requirements avoids legal issues and ensures a safe and long-lasting installation.
   
   
4. Step 4: Prepare the area: soil, drainage and electrical connections
   Proper preparation of the space is key to ensuring the safety and durability of the equipment. The floor must be level, non-slip, and able to support the full weight of the hot tub.
   
   In addition, the area must have a good drainage system to prevent water accumulation and a watertight electrical installation, carried out by a certified professional.
   
   Aquavia Spa models are equipped with electrical protection systems and moisture-resistant structures, making them especially suitable for this type of environment.
   
   
   
5. 
   
   Checking the insulation and filtration system.
   
   Aquavia Spa 's certified technicians can perform this installation quickly and safely, ensuring optimal performance and reduced consumption.
6. Step 6: Filling, test run and final adjustments
   With the Jacuzzi now in place, the tub is filled and the massage, filtration, and heating systems are tested. In models with a reversible heat pump , the cooling mode is also checked.
7. Step 5: Step-by-step jacuzzi installation
   Once the space is prepared, the jacuzzi is installed:
   
   Placing the equipment on the reinforced base.
   
   Electrical connection following the manufacturer's specifications.
   
   Installing a reversible heat pump, which allows you to enjoy hot or cold water year-round. For refreshing summer baths. These adjustments ensure the equipment operates properly, with a perfect balance between performance and efficiency.
8. Step 7: Maintenance and care to prolong the life of your hot tub

   Periodic cleaning of the filter and jet system.
