Perhaps you could simply relocate the sensative parts to a new location, like next to the fence, in a rain/water resistant box.

<-- not sure if it's possible with hot tubs.

It is possible, but I would have to prime the pumps everytime I wanted to clean the hot tub. So it would solve one problem, but create another. It is worth the $ for me to not have to worry about it.

the only thing bad about hot tubs is once you get in you don't ever want to get out. 😀

Well since your dad's the prez, you don't really ever have to.
 
You think THAT was dumb? A buddy of mine bought a house a few months back, with a normal outside hot tub... installed inside the house.

Now, that's not so bad, right? WRONG. The hot tub was bigger in every dimension than any door or window into the room. He had to cut it into 50 pieces to get it out. The previous owners must have BUILT THE ROOM AROUND IT.

hahahahahahahaha.

It was a shame, it was a really nice hot tub - but it was literally destroying the room from the humidity and he just didn't want it in there.
 
I have a hotspring hot tub (8 man, 500 gallon) that is absolutely awesome. Picked it up for $700.00 delivered. Last year my father and I rebuilt my back deck and reinforced it as well to withstand 180 psi.

Prior to that I had a local custom hot tub that was my starter tub.. did a lot of pvc work on it,etc

BTW, your hot tub should weigh between 650 and 800 lbs *dry* so a few guys can lift it out of the hole if its not wedged in there.

That must be one super incredibly strong deck there. 😉

 
uh, don't claim this on your insurance...please. THat'd be such a waste of a claim. With the number of claims going crazy the past few years insurance companies will find any reason to cancel you.

Our fridge leaked water due to a manufacturing defect. even though it was on the policy of the refridgerator company, our insurance company stll knew about it. We had to have the roof fixed after a bad storm, filed it under insurance. They called us and said we filed 2 claims in less than a 1 year period, so they had to cancel us. This is after we had our house for 18 years, and filed 0 claims in those 18 years. Being cancelled meant, we were (and still are) unable to get insurance for 5 years. Talk about a load of BULL. this is not worth making a claim on your insurance.
 
We have home insurance and then home buyers insurance. There is a difference.

Home Insurance = Roof problems and other major problems
Home buyers Ins= pay annual membership and get pretty much anything fixed for $50 each time. Plumbing, Fridge, A/C, Water Heater, Garage, etc etc.
