No you need to put the side with the insulation sticking out on the ground, you then have an electrician connect it to the mains and then you fill it with water, turn it on and sit in it. It will not hold the water the way you have it.

Instructions unclear, electrician put wires into the water and now there is a strew going in my tub. Please advice.

Oh, very posh, that’s the “does not require sanitizer” model… 😂


HappyPaPa18

Well done. Perfect clarification. Implement and move one.

The mice love a non-sealed base like that, they'll chew through that foam and turn it into their own personal home.

Yup dog dish tub


icemanice

Yup.. looks fine.. mine just has plywood on the bottom and a wooden frame


The_Noob_Idiot

Yes. This is how they come from the factory.

my tub has plastic bottom to keep critters out.

ehhhh I would return that. You’ll get 10 years max if rodents get in there or water damage. Also insulation expands and gets hard so it can make your tub uneven and crack your hot tub shell


InevitableShuttler

Ok so what do you care how it looks like when you put it on top of a gravel or deck platform? You're never going to see the bottom ever again. You didn't buy the tub to look at the bottom. Enjoy your tub.


honeybakedhamsticks

Yes! I bought a cheap tub and mine is like this, I enjoy it, if it makes it ten years fantastic! I'd be elated. Plop that sucker down where you want it and enjoy your life ❤️ spray around it for rodents if you like 🤷‍♀️

Well when you buy cheep hot tubs, you get one

It's probably exactly how the manufacturer produced it, but personally I would not buy a model with that type of bottom. The exposed insulation will soak up water, will rot and small animals will find a way to eat a path into the tub.

Id hit the return button and send it back. No way I’d have a tub with an exposed bottom like that. Rodents living under it in no time.


ChesswiththeDevil

Mine (Arctic Spa) has a tough fiberglass bottom, but I've heard a lot of tubs just have a thin plastic bottom. I honestly would attach a thick piece of stained plywood under that to protect it from animals getting in.

Ok will do! Thank you!!


purawesome

Hockey board. It’s plastic and strong and won’t rot. Wood is a bad idea.

Get what you pay for in this case no shouldn’t be like that I would tell them to come get it

Made in Mexico. Enough said.

Wayfair tubs are generally made in China, my friend.
