Why Spa Pool Removal Is Difficult
Removing a spa pool is not as simple as throwing it into a skip bin. Here’s why:
Size and Weight
Spa pools are large and bulky, often weighing well in excess of over 500 kilograms when filled. Even when emptied, the heavy shell can be difficult to move without risk of damage and injury.
Disassembly Required
Spa pools typically require some disassembly before removal. This can include cutting through electrical lines, disconnecting plumbing, and even breaking down the shell itself if it doesn't fit through standard gates or doorways.
High Risk of Damage to Property
Spa Pools are often installed with a crane to ensure no damage to both the pool and more importantly, damage to property. Removing them poses significant risk of damage to property, especially if they fall against a house or car. Our team have removed countless spa pools and know exactly how to get it removed without causing serious damage to property.
How To Remove Spa Pools?
The key to safe removal of a spa pool is to first inspect the removal path. Planning the path that the pool needs to go is essential to ensure that there are sufficient clearance and that the pool will pass through gates and the house.
Get The Pool Ready For Removal
Once you have planned the path of removal, it is essential to inspect the pool to make sure that it is not connected to live power. All pools have power connected for pumps and water heaters and handling a pool that has live power to it has serious risk of electric shock. It is also important to ensure that drain connections and wanter feeds are disconnected and turned off.
Once these are safely disconnected, the next steps are the free the pool from surrounding fixtures. It is very commong for pools to either be built into decks, or have steps fixed to the pool. Breaking these free will allow the pool to be moved.
Start the removal
Once the pool is safely disconnected from all services and are freed, it is time to start the removal. The best way if to get the pool onto one side and start by rolling the pool through the removal path. It is very important to note that this process is very dangerous to both people moving the pool, as well as risk of damage to property.
Rolling a spa pool is the best way to remove it however, as you roll the pool, the sides will start to collapse and the pool will start to fall towards the oposite side of the tub. We have removed many spa pools and our team are specially trained on the safe removal, it is critical that you take your time and that you constantly take extra care. It is also especially important to have at least one person that is solely responsible for balancing the pool and keeping an eye, communicating to others taking part in the removal.
Skip Bins and Spa Pool Removal – What You Need to Know
While skip bins might seem the easy option, they are rarely the best option when trying to get rid of spa pools. Many skip bin providers have limitations when it comes to bulky items like spa pools and spa pools will not fit into skip bins unless you cut it into pieces, something that we highly discourage due to health risks.
Not big enough for most bins
Spa pools will be too big to fit in the standard skip bins, so an oversized bin or more than one bin will need to be hired, adding to increased costs. Almost all skip bin companies throw high fees out when items in the bin exceed the fill level of the bin. Spa pool will most certainly exceed these limits on all 9 meter bins and the upfront costs are rarely the only costs involved.
Disposal Restriction
The mixture of materials used in spa pools-meaning a combination of fiberglass, plastic, and metal-will mean the majority of skip bin companies will not accept them into general waste bins and specialized disposal bins are usually required.
Additional Fees
Although you may find a skip bin service provider that does accept spa pools, there's an increased likelihood that they will have additional fees for such large bulk items. Such costs can add up quite fast, making the removal even more costly.
Health and Safety concerns
Risk of Injury
While other larger items such as couches and fridges pose a high risk of injury, when it comes to spa pools, the risk is almost certain if not removed safely. It is very important to plan your removal and to take all the guess-work out of it. Spa pools are not only heavy, but they are super awkward to remove, giving you almost no 'grap space', posing a huge risk of slipping and the pool falling.
Spa pools that fall over mid-move will most certainly cause damage to property and even worse, serious injury.
Serious Risk From Electrocution
It is never a good idea to take on a job without knowing how to inspect the pool, ensuring that power is not connected. Electric Shocks from connected pools are serious risks and it has a very high potential to cause serious injury and even death. knowing for certain that it is safe to remove is imperative.
Health Hazards
It is very common, and something that we have seen many times before, for people to start cutting spa pools into pieces to make the removal much easier. This is not recommended due to fibreglass particles and other airbourne particles from insulation layers within the pool. Studies have shown that these are not risks worth taking, just as the removal of asbestoes, and have high potential to lead to serious health problems down the line.
We never cut into pool tubs and strongly recommend that you do not either.
