Orca Leisure Brand Buying Guide

1. Place Your Order And Site Check

• Select the hot tub model that fits your space and needs. Because each unit is prepared specifically for you, we kindly request that you provide a short video of the route the delivery team will take, from the kerbside where the delivery vehicle will pull up to the final location where the hot tub will be installed. 
• Please include any gate and pathway widths, height restrictions, turns, steps, and walls that may be encountered during the route. This helps us confirm access for the delivery vehicle (truck, HIAB/crane, or pallet-lift) and ensures the hot tub can be placed correctly upon arrival. Once we have this, we will send you an order confirmation with all the details.

2. What To Do If Access Is Limited (Please Read).

• When access is limited, a crane may be required to position your hot tub. We recommend discussing this possibility with one of our team members before contacting a crane company.
• It is your responsibility to organise the required lifting equipment, as a local company can visit and conduct any necessary site assessments. During positioning of the hot tub, the health and safety measures, as well as site assessment, are the responsibility of the crane provider.

3. Manufacture & Preparation

• Upon order confirmation, your selected hot tub is scheduled for manufacture or allocation. The product is built to our high standards, incorporating insulation, jets, audio/lighting features, and external finishes, as specified in your selected model. Quality control checks are conducted before dispatch.

4. Delivery Scheduling

• Once the hot tub is ready, we arrange and notify you of a delivery date to your address. This is an all-day appointment, and you will be called approximately one hour before the delivery team's arrival.

5. Site Preparation

Before delivery, you will need to prepare:

• A level and stable base suitable for the hot tub’s weight and use.
• Clear access routes for the delivery vehicle and unloading equipment. Pathway widths to be a minimum of 50mm wider than the tub's depth. I.e., Tub depth 830mm, pathway width required 880mm minimum. Height restrictions must be at least 200mm above the tub's height when it is on its side. I.e., a tub size of 2100 x 2100 means there is no height restriction below 2300mm.

6. Electrical Supply

13 Amp hot tubs:

• An outdoor RCD-protected socket located 2 to 3 Metres from the hot tub is required and should be connected to the consumer unit with a suitable 2.5mm 3-core heavy-duty outdoor cable with a sealed-on plug.
• The cable supplied must be long enough to extend from the power supply location to the desired location of the hot tub control panel, covering the floor and reaching the tub. It is recommended that you prepare at least 1 metre of extra cable to ensure it can reach the components comfortably.

32 Amp hot tubs:

• Hot tub models powered by a 32-AMP supply must be wired directly into a waterproof, rotary isolator switch.
• A qualified electrician must install an IP65-rated, waterproof isolator located 2 to 3 Metres from the hot tub.
• This should be connected to the consumer unit with a three-core 6mm armoured cable. Connected to the isolator switch should be another 6mm armoured cable, which is long enough to extend from the isolator switch to the floor, across the floor, and around the tub from the power supply to the location where you require the hot tub control panel. 
• We recommend that you prepare at least 1 metre of extra cable to ensure that it can comfortably reach the components.
• The electrical installation should be certified to Part P of the Building Regulations and BS 7671 of the Wiring Regulations. Please have a qualified electrician assess and install the dedicated circuit, isolator, RCD protection, or supply as required for your model.

7. Water supply & drainage

• Ensure there is suitable access to the water supply and, if required, to drainage.
• Please ensure you have read all the manuals in the Resources tab to prepare your Hot tub as efficiently as possible.

8. Delivery & Inspection

• On delivery day, the hot tub will arrive as arranged. This is an all-day appointment, and you will be called approximately one hour before the delivery team's arrival.
• Please inspect the unit immediately for any visible damage or missing parts. Report any issues within 24 hours of delivery to maintain warranty coverage. The hot tub has arrived at your site and is ready for the next step.

9. Installation / Setup

• Full delivery and installation are included as standard.
• Your hot tub will be delivered by our experienced two-person team, who will position it in the agreed location, unwrap and inspect it, assemble the steps, fit any accessories (cover lifter, cover, etc.), and connect it to the pre-installed electrical supply (which must meet our specifications).
• The control box will be tested, and you’ll be guided through the basic operation of your hot tub. We do not wait for the tub to be filled, but if there is any problem starting up, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us, and we will endeavour to assist you. All packaging will be removed and taken away by our team.

10. Final Checks & Warranty Validation

Once positioned and ready:

• Ensure all electrical connections have been completed to specification by a qualified electrician.
• Fill the tub with water and ensure that all jets, controls, audio/lighting work correctly.
• Apply any finishing treatments (e.g., protective covers, insulation checks) as required by the manufacturer to maintain warranty coverage.
• Perform a test soak or heat-up to confirm operation.

32 Amp Hot Tub Electrical Requirements

A 32-amp hot tub requires a dedicated electrical setup to operate safely and efficiently.

• Professional Installation: Installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with current IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671).
