What I wish I knew before buying a swim spa.

What happens here

Stanley finally admits his 'mistake' (a fun challenge he took on himself): trying to install the swim spa personally instead of hiring a crane. He reiterates the difficulty of moving the 15.5-foot, 2400-pound swim spa through a 9-foot gate. He and the team used Kubota skid steer, wooden boards, and PVC pipes for rolling. Despite the struggles, including pivoting the spa and lifting it over obstacles, they successfully placed it on the concrete pad. He states that a crane would have cost only $400 and avoided all the hassle.

Goal: Successfully install the swim spa and understand the value of professional help for heavy lifting.

Tools and materials

  • PVC Pipes — Used as rollers to assist in manual movement
  • Swim Spa Master Spas — The main item being installed
  • Wooden Planks/Boards — Used as ramps, levers, and temporary supports for moving the spa

really big deal uh when you jump into the components of a system you want to stick with OEM so baloa and gecko components are the top two manufacturers for okay so we got to jump in here because yeah I I found out that a lot of the cheaper ones are also running the same components that you guys are running right and it's the greater components like a lot a lot of our swim spots are going to have variable speed pumps and connect to the motherboard a little bit differently and and what you're going to see there is is longer lifespans and then on top of that there are different on on every component manufacturer so just like you can get a cheap Ford F-150 you can also get the highend F1 King Ranch or a platinum yes so you can get the better one up exactly so it's not just the name of the components it's What level in those components that you're using are you saying you guys are using the highest end highest end components possible yep highest end okay possible so there's no grades above them that somebody else is using that you guys aren't relative in
