Sometimes hot tubs lose their welcome. It makes no difference if yours has past damage or if you want to hide it from visibility. The hot tub needs to leave on a trip. But this all raises a fundamental question: how? What should you do if you cannot run a hot tub?

1: Disconnecting and Draining the Hot Tub
- Of course, the initial step to remove from a hot tub would be to empty it and disconnect it from all utilities. You can anticipate that your hot tub will get linked to plumbing, electrical, and heating. Make sure you are familiar with the hot tub. You want to be sure that you can complete this process to the end.
- It’s also important to know that the hot tub gets located on the ground. You will likely need to remove the concrete around the perimeter of your hot tub to access the connections. It can get accomplished using either a jackhammer or a sledgehammer. Be sure to wear the proper equipment for the task. Items like safety glasses, gloves, earplugs, or even steel-toed shoes can prevent injuries.
2: The Cutting of a Hot Tub to Remove
If you don’t intend to sell or reuse the spa, the hot tub may be easily handled and disposed of by cutting it into pieces.
- It gets suggested that you use a reciprocating saw like the Sawzall.
- As previously mentioned, wear protective clothing, including gloves and safety glasses.
- Be careful when cutting this hot tub down into easily transported pieces.
- Once done, take a quick break. You get not finished yet.
3: Cleaning Up and Hauling Away
Like any other junk removal work, a critical aspect of being aware of when learning to remove the hot tub is well; that’s when you get rid of it from your home! When you’ve got smaller pieces that are easier to manage, you can take them away. Depending on your area, it could be possible to place everything in the garbage bin for collection or transport it to the dump by yourself. You might also want to know if your local recycler will take the scrap items.
If your tub gets situated in the ground, it’s time to chip away on the concrete foundation. After you’ve finished that, there’s an open hole in the soil. Fill it up with dirt, and you’ll have a little extra space. The area could become a perfect place to plant a planter, a composter, or even some grass.
