Procedure Of Unwanted Hot Tub Removal

By Joshua Morris


Over the years, owners of whirlpools in Portland OR are encouraged to remove or sell their faulty tubs. The process is not that complicated like installing a new pool but however much this is true, unwanted hot tub removal involves planning. More often than not, the work involved is usually half as much as that of fitting a new one.

You should assess the state in which your tub is in so that you decide whether to replace or repair it. It is because most removals have discovered catastrophic matters of maintenance and fixing. People in the cool areas are the most affected because they fail to winterize the tubs leading to water freezing in the pipes. Hence, it is important to first get to know the condition of the bath so that you judge which remedy action to take.

The manual from the manufacturer should come in handy during the removal of unwanted sauna baths. Re-reading it will remind you of all the aspects of the spa pool and how it was constructed. It makes you familiar with the electrical system, how the heater was put up and many other issues. Following the manual to the latter will ensure that you avoid any health hazard that may lurk around.

A good number of people own whirlpools that are connected electrically and some may be of high voltage. Electrical needs should be greatly considered before disconnecting any wires. The standard bath should have a central disconnection box to allow you to isolate power. If you will not be replacing your plunge bath, then seal the box so that it will be easy to make future connections during another installation.

The next thing in the regimen should be the actual removal of tub. Here, carefully cut the electricity flow by unplugging the electrical wires including the gas supply. You should not compromise your safety when dealing with electricity because you can be easily be electrocuted when exposed to live wires. Cutting the electrical flow will make you avert shocks while cutting the wires.

You should then disassemble the spa skirt. Some manufacturers in Portland OR produce these goods with some components connected using screws. These can be easily removed manually using a screw driver. On the other hand, some may be built using wooden slats that are connected through tongue and groove which makes it relatively easy to disassemble the skirt without having to cut any individual components.

Cutting the actual hot tub is probably the most difficult part of the removal process. This is so because most of them are made of materials that are hard enough to last for long. It can be plastic or any other durable material. To cut it into smaller pieces, you will need the right gear and a jigsaw. A reciprocating saw will make you cutting work easy.

Your tub will then be reduced to smaller pieces. Ensure that the pieces can be easily carried from the inside to the yard. Deposit them in the dumpster. To safely do this, it is important you put on gloves sturdy clothes and goggles so that you avoid getting cut and dust getting into your eye. This should wrap up the removal process.
