Documenting these items during an insurance Claim or construction project is essential to ensure everything is accounted for. This guide will help homeowners create a comprehensive inventory of the tools, chemicals, and accessories associated with maintaining and enhancing hot tubs and spas. ### Types of Hot Tubs & Spas **Portable**Hot Tub**:** An inflatable or pre-fabricated unit that can be moved and set up easily. Portable hot tubs usually include basic jets and heating systems, requiring minimal installation and basic maintenance tools. For reference, these are treated as Personal Property. **In-Ground Spa:** A permanent spa built into the ground, often integrated with an in-ground pool or designed as a standalone unit. These spas typically include advanced jet systems and customized features, requiring more maintenance and specific chemicals. Unlike portable hot tubs, because these are permanently installed, the equipment associated with these would be part of your Secondary Structures coverage (though the smaller items like tools, chemicals and accessories are still part of your Personal Property coverage). **Swim Spa:** A hybrid between a pool and a spa, offering both hydrotherapy and the ability to swim in place. Swim spas often have multiple zones, each with different water temperatures and jet configurations. Like In-Ground Spas, these are generally relatively permanent structures. **Wood-Fired Hot Tub:** A traditional-style hot tub heated by a wood-burning stove, often located outdoors in natural surroundings. These tubs may not have the advanced jets of modern spas but still require care and cleaning tools. Accounting for these in your insurance Policy depends on whether the Tub is more or less permanently installed or if it’s relatively portable. Use your best judgement. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3e6d4bd-783c-404a-ae48-078db5956f3f/Images/Documentation/Loti - Spa Wand.webp) ### Hot Tub & Spa Tools - Cartridge cleaner tool - Chemical Test Strips - Floating spa thermometer - Handheld vacuum - Hot tub brush - Hot tub filter Wrench - Hot tub lid lifter - Jet nozzle cleaner - Leaf Skimmer net - Non-abrasive scrub pad - Portable Submersible Pump - Spa vacuum hose - Spa wand - Suction cup handle for cover - Water clarifier tool ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3e6d4bd-783c-404a-ae48-078db5956f3f/Images/Documentation/Loti - Bromine tablets.webp) ### Hot Tub & Spa Chemicals - Alkalinity increaser - Bromine tablets - Calcium Hardness increaser - Chlorine granules - Chlorine tablets - Clarifier - Defoamer - Enzyme cleaner - Filter cleaner solution - Muriatic acid - pH decreaser - pH increaser - Shock oxidizer - Spa sanitizer - Stain and scale remover ### Hot Tub & Spa Filters & Pumps - Cartridge filters - Circulation pump - Cover lifter - Drain pump - Filter cartridges - Filter cleaner - Filter housing unit - Hot tub circulation pump - Ozone Generator - Pre-filter for filling - Replacement filter cartridges - Spa Blower - Spa cover pump - Spa heater pump - Spa Jet Pump ![](https://cdn.document360.io/e3e6d4bd-783c-404a-ae48-078db5956f3f/Images/Documentation/Loti - Spa Steps.webp) ### Hot Tub & Spa Accessories - Aromatherapy oils - Cup holders - Floating drink tray - Floating LED lights - Hot tub Handrail - Hot tub pillows - LED spa lighting kit - Magnetic spa bar - Outdoor towel rack - Spa cover lift - Spa steps - Spa umbrella - Waterproof Bluetooth speakers - Waterproof playing cards - Waterproof spa controller ### Hot Tub & Spa Covers & Insulation - Foam cover inserts - Insulated hot tub cover - Locking spa cover straps - Solar Blanket for spa - Spa cover cleaner - Spa cover conditioner - Spa Thermal Blanket - Waterproof spa cover - Winter cover for hot tub - Wind protection screen ### Hot Tub & Spa Miscellaneous - Anti-slip spa mat - Chemical floater - Chlorine/bromine dispenser - Control Panel cover - Diverter Valve - Drain plug - Filter housing replacement parts - Floating scum absorber - Grit cleaning mitt - Heater element replacement - Hot tub timer - Replacement jets - Scum sponge - Spa shock floater - Spa hose bib - Suction covers - Temperature control pad - Underwater patch kit - Vinyl repair kit - Water diverter ## Wrap-Up This inventory guide helps homeowners keep track of all the tools, chemicals, and accessories associated with their hot tubs and spas.
