Moving a spa from one location to another is a complex process since they are heavy and bulky. Whilst a DIY move is possible, hiring a professional to do the work is highly recommended as this type of move usually requires the use of moving equipment to move the spa safely between locations. If you have chosen to proceed with a DIY move, you need to be more patient in carefully following these instructions and best practices in handling a spa.
