2.2 Assembling the Hot Tub Structure
Unpack all components. The hot tub features a durable woven UV-protected PVC exterior and a PU-insulated foam core. Assemble the foam panels according to the provided diagrams, ensuring they interlock securely. Insert the support bars into the designated grooves within the foam blocks to create a rigid structure. Once the foam structure is complete, pull the outer fabric cover up and around the panels, securing it in place.

2.3 Installing the Inner Liner
Carefully place the inner bladder (liner) into the assembled hot tub structure. Smooth out any wrinkles or creases by hand, pushing the liner as far to the edges as possible. This helps prevent creases from forming once the hot tub is filled with water. Connect the filtration and heating unit to the designated ports on the liner.
