DIY Hot Tub Removal
- Before you get all excited and start wiping the dust off all your power tools, be sure to locate a power supply. The tools won’t do you much good if you don’t have a power source. If you need an extension cord, stores like Lowe’s will have them available for purchase.
- Make sure that you have a disposal solution in place. If you have a pickup truck, then you can probably make it work in two trips with a tarp and straps and just pay the disposal fee at the landfill.
- Locate the power relay box for the hot tub and make sure the power is off. If the hot tub still has juice when you start cutting then you’re gonna experience some electrical juice for yourself!
- Remove the hot tub cover and cover arm, if there is one.
- Remove all the side panels of the hot tub.
- Cut and remove all wiring and remove the power supply board from the hot tub.
- Loosen or cut all the pipes leading to the motors and remove motors from the hot tub.
- Break or cut all vertical supports of the hot tub.
- Use saw to cut hot tub into quarters. Cut any pipes holding pieces together.
- Cut or break the bottom frame and plastic tray.
- Pick up all tools.
- Sweep up around former hot tub site and truck
- Load into disposal unit and send the hot tub away!
