Frequently asked questions about IDOL SPAS hot tubs

How much does an IDOL SPAS hot tub cost?

How long does it take to manufacture and deliver a hot tub?

IDOL SPAS hot tubs are manufactured to order in the Czech Republic. Standard delivery is 10–30 days from confirmation of configuration, including individual adjustments.

What kind of power supply do I need for a hot tub?

Smaller hot tubs (LITE) run on 230 V / 16 A – a standard socket is sufficient. Larger models and swim spas require a three-phase supply of 400 V / 32 A or 63 A. The supply cable must be run in a protective conduit with a 30 mA residual-current device.

What kind of base do I need under a hot tub?

The hot tub must stand on a firm, level base – a concrete slab or paving. The surface must support the total weight of the filled hot tub (800–3,000 kg). Base levelness max. ±5 mm over the length of the hot tub.

Can a hot tub be used all year round?

Yes, all IDOL SPAS hot tubs are designed for year-round operation. Thanks to double or triple insulation and powerful heating, they can maintain the water temperature even in frosts below -20 °C. The average electricity consumption is 3–6 kWh/day.

How often does the water in a hot tub need to be changed?

The water in a hot tub is usually changed 3–4 times a year, i.e. roughly every 3 months. With proper chemical care (pH 7.2–7.6, disinfection), the water remains hygienically safe the entire time. Run filtration at least twice a day for 4 hours.

What is the warranty period on IDOL SPAS hot tubs?

We provide a warranty of up to 15 years for acrylic and 5 years for the structure for all IDOL SPAS hot tubs and swim spa pools. Warranty service is provided by our own certified technicians who travel throughout the Czech Republic. After the warranty, we provide post-warranty service.

Do I need a building permit for a hot tub?

Above-ground hot tubs and swim spa pools do not require a building permit – they are portable equipment. In-ground pools may require notification to the building authority – it depends on the local regulations.

What is the chemical consumption for a hot tub?

The annual cost of chemicals for a hot tub ranges from 2,000 to 210 €, depending on the frequency of use and water quality. Suitable chemicals (chlorine, pH regulators, algaecide, disinfection) can be found in our e-shop.
