Are hot tubs connected to plumbing?

Some people think that hot tubs require plumbing—but that is not the case! A hot tub, or portable spa, is a completely self-contained vessel designed to provide you with amazing hydrotherapy benefits. The water circulates through the plumbing and filtration system within the spa’s cabinet.

How is a hot tub plumbed?

A: Hot tub plumbing is a closed loop, so we can say that it starts at the skimmer, which is where the water leaves the tub. Next, it passes through the filter and heater and is then pushed through a smaller pipe before returning to the tub. The same drop of water can make this journey a few times a day.
