Who doesn’t love relaxing in their own pool of warm and comfortable water at the end of a busy day? There is something to be said for doing so when fall and winter come around; even though the temperature outside of the hot tub might be less than appealing, the temperature on the inside can be perfect. However, what if you want to bring your hot tub indoors?
It might sound ridiculous, and perhaps that’s why you’ve never considered doing such a thing. When the temperature cools, and you can’t bear to leave your warm house into the cold outside to get to your hot tub, you might be pleased to know you can have inflatable hot tubs indoors.
We have found that rather than asking the question posed in the title of this post, the more important questions are:
1. where can you have inflatable hot tubs in your home
2. how to clean a hot tub?
We will discuss that by highlighting some tips and advice for choosing the right spot.
Make Sure the Water Supply is Accessible
This seems common sense, but mentioning it in this post was still necessary. You need to ensure your inflatable hot tub will be close enough to the water supply you will use to fill it up. After all, it would not be smart to put it in a room on the other side of your home from where the main water supply is because you would have to walk through the entire property to bring the water to it or set up the hoses and pumps.
Proper Drainage is Vital
Another essential factor to consider when choosing the best place to put your inflatable hot tub is to ensure proper drainage. While it would be great and less hassle if you could leave it filled with water and not have to deal with it again, in terms of hygiene and good hot tub maintenance, you will have to empty and refill it regularly. Therefore, you want to place it somewhere that this will not be too difficult. Having it in your bedroom may sound fun, but is that practical? Again, choose somewhere close to your water supply.
Suitable Flooring
No matter how careful you are getting in and out of hot tubs, they will always have some degree of water spillage over the edges. Therefore, just as it’s essential to ensure easy access to your water supply and adequate drainage, you need to ensure that the flooring in the room you intend to erect your inflatable hot tub is suitable.
Carpeted flooring is out. You need to have a waterproof surface like tiles.
Adequate Ventilation
Hot water and steam in a room that does not have a window or vents is not a good combination. If you want to avoid the many issues that could arise from such a setup, you need to think carefully about the room you will put your inflatable hot tub. Ensure there are extractor fans in place and windows, vents and other forms of ventilation to help prevent excessive condensation and the chance of dampness becoming mould and mildew.
Although it may take some practical thinking, and you may need to rearrange some things in your home, if you have ample enough space for it and want to benefit from those relaxing dips in hot water without venturing beyond the front door, it is worth trying to have your inflatable hot tub indoors.
