This blog covers everything you need to know about building your own DIY Hot Tub. From planning to plumbing, I cover it all.
Your spa pack is the most essential part of your hot tub setup. It’s the brains behind the entire system, controlling all the different parts to make them work together.
Navigating a spa pack can be complicated, especially if you’re new to it.
Tub & Pool Designer Pro Software – what is this all about?
It seems such a long time ago that I wrote the initial version of buildahottub.com website which was essentially a single web page. That page still exists today and explains how I went about building my own hot tub step by step with all the photos that I took.
I couldn’t find the information I needed so I thought that when I was done, I would write it up so others could do the same.
Fast forward quite a few years and here we are today. The website is totally different – there are hundreds of articles covering all aspects of building a hot tub. I have plans that you can purchase – an online courses that you can take and parts that you can buy too. Not to mention the 8K subscribers and over 1000 videos that I have published on YouTube all around this hot tub and plunge pool niche. Directly as customers, I’ve helped over 1300 of you DIYers build hot tubs and plunge pools and many more indirectly by the website and YouTube Channel.
Who knew that building my own hot tub would eventually turn into a business – well it has, and I love every second of what I do.
It’s that time of year again where the second wave of DIY Hot Tubs and plunge pools begin – with the goal of being completed before the weather turns in the Fall / Autumn. I’ve had the pleasure of helping over 1,200 customers now achieve their hot tub dreams by guiding them through the DIY hot tub journey.
The allure of DIY hot tubs is undeniable. You save money compared to a pro spa builder doing it for you, and get the satisfaction of creating your own backyard oasis. What separates a successful build from a DIY Disaster is a good plan!
Installing the main drains that you are going to need on your hot tub or plunge pool is probably for most going to be the first bit of plumbing you do.
They need to be installed when you pour your slab or your base so in this article and in the video blow, I explain everything you need to know about the installation of the main drains.
If you are a regular reader of the blog or subscribe to my YouTube Channel (and if you have not way not?) then you should remember Niel and his DIY Hot Tub build.
He was one of the first customers to really document his journey so I could write it up as a case study and make some videos about it.
It was an absolute pleasure to help Niel as he is a very talented DIYer (and a very nice chap too!). If you would like to read his case study, you can find this here.
Well, he’s been at it again, but this time, he has been making a DIY Hot Tub Cover.
In this article (big thanks to Niel for the commentary, notes and all the pictures) I will walk you through the steps that he took.
I think you will agree, the end result really looks the part.
I went to Iceland a while back, which was fantastic. During my time there, I enjoyed a daily soak in a hot tub. After a few days of soaking I noticed a lot of nagging aches and pains were gone. So I thought, damn, I need to get one of these for my house some day. I would shop around, but never pull the trigger. Finally, in 2019, I made the decision to pursue this.
