I'm Moving

[Rayman]

I am moving and taking the Hot tub with me.  I am getting movers to move all my stuff and they will move the Hot tub if I want them to but I am torn between the movers moving it or getting a seperate Hot Tub mover recommended by a dealer (not my dealer cause they just went out of business).  Savings would be abouot $300 if I got the regular movers to do it, I still have to pay for an electrician either way.  I am moving Dec 14th, hope it's not too cold up here.

Any thoughts

Have a clear understanding on HOW the spa should be transported and instruct the movers accordingly. They also carry insurance so I wouldn't be too concerned. It's not rocket science but they do need to know how to move and ship it properly as most have no clue.

It should be shipped on its side with the plumbing area at the top. That's how they are shipped all over the world. Where ya moving to?

Thanks Steve, staying in Brampton just moving from a cookie cutter new home to an 80 yr old downtown home.  Is the plumbing hard to disconnect from a Beachcomber with the step?

Piece of cake my friend! These are hand tightened unions and a few wires. You could do it in 15 minutes. Just make sure you don't lose the o-rings as they can be left inside the union and fall out in shipping.

The great thing with your spa is that it is balanced on all 4 sides where all other spas are one side heavy due to the equipment. Much easier to negotiate these spas around...

Good luck with the move!! If I was closer I'd help....

I'll just add it will take 2 people to carry your equipment pack.  Bend your knees and lift with your legs not your back  What you may want to do is call your closest BC dealer and ask if they have an extra equipment box lying around. That way you can put everything in 1 box and its easy to move since the box has handles.

Great idea Pathfinder, looks like a trip to Bolton then.  ( I'm still p!ssed my dealer closed, they were less than 2 minutes away from me)
