How difficult is it to get the base plate under the spa? Can it be done with the spa full?

From the husband. When my tub was empty it slid right under without lifting the tub. Then when the tub was full, the tub shifted and flexed so that the plate was smashed and could not be moved. I am sure the process will be different for some other hot tubs, I guess it worked out well for me.

I would recommend emptying. Or at least partially. We have softub, and could slip it under, but with difficulty.

I would say no, You have to pick up the spa to slide the plate under it, only way to do it while its full would be with a forklift or furniture dolly, and I don't think either would be recommended, you could damage your spa. I ordered mine just before my scheduled time to drain and refill my spa so it wasn't a big deal.

I would say no. Water weighs 8.33 pounds per gallon, that's 2,499 pounds for a 300 gallon tub. I recommend you empty it first. I had no trouble sliding the base under my spa when empty. Good Luck

Not very easy. I had to cut through my foam and attach to directly to the fiberglass underneath. But I did cut through it neatly with a razor blade tracing around the pads. And the pads of hell well for two years now with quite a bit of use.

My spa had structural wood behind the skirt, so I installed so that I would screw into that. If yours doesn't (or not aligned right), I would add something to ensure it doesn't pull out over time (and damage the skirt). I've had mine in use for a year now and continue to be very pleased with the product.

Now that is the hard part. Once you put it on. Its on there tight. You have to really pull on it to separate it. Or just unscrew the black plate from the base. They are really hard to take apart.

Hello, The shaft is attached on the other side to a shallow counter sunk hole on the plate. You would need to drill through to add a shaft. Not easily done. Thank you

No. By design there can't be because the cover will need to hang off the back to completely uncover the spa opening.

Do you already have the lifter? If not the complete lift and get can be found by copy and paste into your search area of Amazon. Thank you, Patio SplashCover Max Bottom Mount Spa Cover Lift Removal System + Under-Spa Brackets - Foot Assisted Lifter for Hot Tub Covers - Square or Rectangle Tubs

your spa should have it's own internal pump. Myself, I would not connect my spa to any outside pump. The 2 pumps work at difference pressures.

The only thing I can suggest is what someone already did - take the underneath plate off, and use distilled water.km

I had a contractor install the sink (replaced existing vessel sink). He had no difficulty at all, but he did not require a cutting template. Sorry I could not be of any help. The sink (I actually installed two of them) looks great and fits the space extremely well.

You will not be easy to do it. Probably you will need help plumbing specialist.

Melissa, sorry it took me longer but wanted to check to respond honestly. We have it next to our new frameless glass shower and when the base is against the tile at the bottom, there is a small amount of room between the bar and the glass...enough to fit a towel on that side. Hope this helps. We LOVE this and not only are the curves gorgeous, but it is extremely well made and gets so many comments about how beautiful it is but also how great it looks in our new master bath. It is a great purchase and since there was very little in the polished brass look, I would have gotten this due to the look and appeal.

Not impossible, but not trivial. You will need one hot water stub and one cold water stub coming out of the wall at the right height and with the right spacing. If you have access to the plumbing from behind, you might be able to reroute the pipes, but then you'll likely have some patch work to do, although the panel may cover some of the prior fixture locations.

Not hard, but takes some patience. Work bottom up and don't tighten everything until you're done.

dump it on the ground. My spa cracked after 1 year and the company will not respond to my request for repairs/replacement. Buy a brand name spa from a local company- or throw your money away on this piece of crap.

Undermount. Also, there is no template, so make sure you have a good contractor. It's beautiful when done right.

Yes, mine was installed without the base plate. It sits directly on the granite and looks great.
